Untangled
Who Are You: School 2015Eunbyul leaned her head against the window and looked out of the plane. She could just barely discern the buildings of Korea in the night sky.
6 months since she'd left. It wasn't very long, but it was long enough for Eunbi and Yi An to start something new, and she'd left because she knew she would be unable to see someone who looks just like her with the guy she'd been in love with for the past 10 years, even if she did owe both of them at least that.
Welcome back to Korea, Go Eunbyul.
