She stared at the lady for a minute before finding her voice. "You here to take me to an orphanage or something?" Maria asked her, void of emotion; though she looked heartless, just the thought of not having her family be with her tore her heart into shreds. The woman laughed and whispered warmly, "Even better."

     She was confused by the statement. She furrowed her brow and gave the woman a questioning look. "I talked with my cousin. This new show needs a girl like you in it. Your brave, little one, and yor mother told me so many stories about you," she mumbled on about things Maria could care less for. "The important thing is that you speak Korean. Your father taught you well. That is the key factor in getting you into this. Give me an honest answer alright?"

     Maria slowly nodded in response to the woman. She continued. "Your father told me you were in love with Hello Baby the instant you saw it. Well...they have created a new show. Hello Teenager. How would you like to be on TV show?" she asked her. Maria was in shock. She was being given too much information to accept in the short time she had. She dd not want to fight it anymore. What else did she have to live for at this point? "Okay," Maria replied. "I'll go on the show."
