Chapter 1
The Struggle of Following Him***Jinyoung POV***
“Amma, can I play outside?”
“Jinyoung I’m is busy making food.”
“I’m old enough to go alone, so can I go?”
“Fine. Just don’t cause any trouble.”
My mom continues to cook. I make my way towards the apartment complex playground. I begin to run towards it when it’s in my sight.
“Channie! Where are you? Your amma will be mad if you don’t come home with me,” a girl yells while staring at the playground.
