Chapter Eight: The City That Never Sleeps

In New York, at the hotel female students are staying.

Kyung Sae’s POV

After arriving in New York, I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. Buildings, shops and stores, people from all over the world. It was like a dream I never wanted to wake up from.

“ How long are you going to stare out that window?” asked a classmate about her age who was staying in her same room.


She had beautiful black hair and cute brown eyes. She had a fringe and wore a pink blouse.

The girl seemed cold and unapproachable, so I decided it would be best to avoid her..

“I-uh- sorry. I get like this sometimes.” stuttered out Kyung Sae.

“It’s alright. My names Mi Young. Hwang Mi Young to be exact, but my friends call me Tiffany.” the beautiful girl said.

“Uh, Hi Tiffany.” I said. “Who’s your partner?” I asked to avoid an awkward conversation.

“Ah, some rich boy named Joon Myeon. Nothing real special, but I hear you’re the special girl who got chosen by Jong In. What’s your relationship with him?”

What? Kim Jong In wanted to be my partner? That can’t be possible.

“Uh… he’s a friend of mine. Nothing romantic or anything like that!” she stammered.

“Well, I’m getting some sleep now. We’re walking around Central Park tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Jong In and I, will be stuck with each other for a full day and I can’t do anything about it.

I changed into my pajamas and got ready for bed. When I looked outside one last time before sleeping, I couldn’t help but feel a strange feeling coming upon me.

There’s something going on, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Narrator POV

“You’re here early.” said Jong In.

After glaring  at him for a while, and finally smiling, Kyung Sae took out the scavenger hunt map she was given from the school.

“How come we have to do a scavenger hunt?!” Jong In complained. “We’re 3rd years, aren’t we a little old for this?!”

“Shut up. It will be fun, unlike you, I haven’t been to New York a thousand times.” said Kyung Sae.

Walk around Central Park and speak to at least one person in English. Read the sheet.

“Easy enough, right?” Asked Kyung Sae with a smile. He could feel her excitement and decided he would let her enjoy it.

They walked around the large, large park, Kyung Sae stopping every five seconds to take pictures. People from their class began to notice the two, especially girls who were particularly angry that Kyung Sae got to be Jong In’s partner.

Kyung Sae’s POV

“I’m going to the bathroom” I said to Jong In as he sipped his pop.

“Are you going to go in the right one?” teased Jong In. “I doubt you can even read English!”

“Ya! You wanna die?!” I yelled at him. Why does he care what I know and don’t know?

I walked down the streets where many people sat at benches, took photos, and ate together.

When I arrived at the bathroom, I felt a jolt in my left arm.

“Hey, young lady” I heard in English. “Why don’t you come with me? I promise you won’t get hurt.”

Jong In’s POV

What’s taking her so long? I sighed.

“Aish! Did you get lost or something?!” I muttered.

I wondered if she got lost, so I decided to look around for her.

“Park Kyung Sae!” I yelled. “Park Kyung Saaaaaaeeeee!”

Ah…. there’s the bathroom.

As I knocked on the door, I realized that this was no bathroom.


Kyung Sae what were you thinking?!
