Because You're Mine to Keep
Description
Marianne's family migrated to Canada because of the job opportunities for her parents. This only means she has to transfer to a new university. Meeting new friends in her new school wasn't hard but everything changed when she was chosen to be one of their school's representative for the student exchange program in Korea. Knowing only English as her second language, she found it hard to communicate with other people. She was lucky that Kris, her Chinese-Canadian partner for the program, is fluent in Korean...

Foreword
"Marianne, quit watching those Korean dramas! Go study in your room." your mom hissed at you.
You are very fond of watching Korean shows since then. You don't know why but you feel like there's a connection between you and the TV shows you are watching. Your friends think you're a freak despite the fact that you don't understand what those Korean actors say, you still watch them. You're just happy the subtitles you download from the internet aren't those crappy subtitles...
"Let your daughter enjoy," your dad told your mom. "We're migrating to Canada anyway." hearing this made your eyes grow big as if it would pop out of your eye sockets.
"WHAT?!" you screamed.
"You heard your father right, young lady," your mom continued. "We're going to migrate. Say goodbye to your 'friends' soon... You'll be transferring universities too, okay? I know you're also having a hard time in school." Your mom smiled and walked out of the living room as she patted your shoulder gently leaving you dumbfounded. Nothing is sinking in.
"Ha, ya right... friends my ," you said. "I don't even know who my real friends are. Tsk."
You boarded the plane leaving your country, friends, and all your problems behind. You don't know if you'll be happy or sad about the move but you promised yourself to start anew. You wanted a new life. You wanted a new you.
"You'll be studying in The University of British Columbia," your dad smiled at you. "That's in Vancouver, honey. We're in Toronto."
"Uhm... Dad, why should I study in Vancouver? Why can't I just study somewhere here in Toronto," you asked with a clueless face.
"You're a company scholar honey. We have no choice but to send you there," your mom smiled gently. "You'll be living in a dormitory near your school. It's part of the scholarship. Don't worry."
"O...kay," you answered them as you raised one eyebrow. "I'll just do what I can. Guess this will be my training for independency, huh?"
