Journey of the 8th Member of BTS

March 2004

" Hwa, come eat your breakfast. "  Her mum called her.

A loud thud was heard.

" Please for the sake of your bones, tell me you didn't trip again. " Her mum said in a very frustrated yet worried voice.

" Umm maybe yes or maybe no? "  Hwa answered, rubbing her butt which sadly took the impact of her fall. She could hear her mother's worried mutterings all the way from where she was sitting on first floor.

Heavy footfalls indicated someone coming downstairs. The said someone being our girl, Hwa Young.

" Did you pack all your stuff? " her mum asked, serving her breakfast. She just nodded halfheartdly, her butt still hurt a lot. She looked up at her father.

" Dad do we really have to go? I don't want to leave. " 7 year old Hwa said while looking at her father with tear filled eyes. 

Her father set down his coffee and turned towards her to give her his full attention.

" I'm so sorry sweetie, but you know that I can't do anything about my transfer right. You know how much important this is for me right? "

She knew it. Of course she did, her father had spent countless night staying awake to come up with his new business idea. He had gave it his all, including all the savings they had. She might be young, but she was smart enough to know that their livelihood depended on her dad's business becoming a success.

And for that they had to move to Daegu for the time being, since the industry was supposed to set up there. But that didn't mean she was excited of the idea of leaving behind her hometown.

" But what about my friends? I can't leave them behind. " Hwa cried, just the thought of not seeing her friends was enough to make her cry.

She did cry cause of pain. A large part of it caused by the knowledge of them moving towns, but also cause her back and butt was still sore.

" We can always visit here again, it barely takes 3 hours to visit Busan from Daegu. And it's not like we'll never come back here again once we go to Busan. " Her mother tried to comfort her, patting her back assuringly.

Her dad gave her a comforting smile too. Nodding his head in agreement to what her mother said.

" Yes, we'll be visiting Busan very often Hwa. You don't have to worry. "

She looked at them to see if they were speaking truth and smiled slightly, seemingly pretty convinced. She then went back upstairs to pack her plushies and recheck to see if the packers didn't leave anything behind mistakenly.

Later that evening as she sat in her parents car, looking back at their home, she never thought that she wouldn't see this house again for a very very long time.

She was completely unaware of what the future had in it's bag for her.

If only she knew, maybe she would have prepared herself better for what was to come her way.

But then again, who knows? Maybe she would still have been as much of a wreck as she was right now.

Knowing future doesn't really help much unless you have the ability to change it for the better.  It'd only torment you.
