Eli Kim pulled back his arm and let the football fly, sending it soaring across the crowded airport waiting dock to hit the soccer captain in the head. It was a square hit, and Insoo Kang reached up to touch the now sore spot where it had struck him. Several of his teammates jumped to their feet, ready to rush over and confront the arrogant football player, but Insoo reached up a hand to stop them.
"It's okay, guys. He's not worth it. It's like a little kid trying to get attention."

Wintertime in Seoul was no joke, and he found himself wishing he had worn something warmer. They were going to Hawaii, though, and it would be warm there. All he had to do was brave the weather until then.
