Chapter 18

The morning came by so quickly. I got up and did my normal routine. After getting out of the bathroom, seeing father sitting on the bed with a smile on. I stare down away from the eye meeting.

"hey." he greets. Still staring. I hummed walking to sit on the bed beside him.

"I'm sorry." I apologize before glance at the warm and soft gentle eyes of my father.

"it's alright. It's fine now that you apologized." he says slowly. Smiling with his eyes. He spoke again, "I have actually thought about it."

"about what exactly?" I asked. His face was now full of seriousness.

"that you should live your life." he says without explanation.

"dad, what do you mean exactly?" I did my back properly, facing him straight. Waiting for his response.

"I mean, that you should go to college and have friends around. Go shopping, go have dinner at the most popular restaurants. Just like the other people. Just like how you wanted to live." after hearing his words I couldn't believe it.

" Are you serious about this?" I say without making my tone crack.

"I have never not been serious. And what makes me say it out of the blue is because I have been thinking about this carefully. And now I want you to be just like how you wanted to be." I was silent, staring at him idiotic. "Yes, Angie, I'm damn serious! "he says nodding, smiling. Without wasting any time, I pushed myself towards him. Hugging him, not wanted to let go.

" thank you! Thank you so much, dad! "my tone got cracked and I started to cry from happiness.

I'm finally free. Finally.

After one week passing by faster than I would imagine. Dad already got me into the college and I will start tomorrow, Monday. This is going to be a huge big change for me. I'm going to meet many new people. Junna was very happy to hear the news. Unfortunately she isn't the type to continue her studies. However, she is smart without it. And is happy with the orphan kids. Jeongguk has been on my mind less lately. Even when he poops on my mind I would go blank and think, why did he do this, and that, and then on. I'm trying not to take it all out on him. I mean; is it his fault or dad for not telling me the true? He is a goddamn assassin! A wanted killer! How did even father manage to talk to him and far worse is, to get him to be my bodyguard? Could he be dangerous? That's what I mostly think about. I grabbed all the thoughts and pushed them behind me.

Next morning

"want me to drive you?" Father asked this five times already.

"dad, I promise I can go by myself. I told you already, I know the way." I told him carefully, taking on my black shoes.

"alright." he says slowly. After putting the shoes on I stand up.

"well, goodbye. See you when I get back. Bye gran!" I told them farewell and headed out. Woah, I'm so excited and nervous! I waited at the bus waiting station. After getting inside the bus and paid. I sat in the last seat. Beside the window. Seeing everything and everyone being so peaceful and stressful. Stressful that I could see many people rushing and running on streets to get to their own jobs. And peaceful at the same time I could see the birds flying from above and the trees being pushed by the nice weather with sunlight. I got down from the bus and headed to the college. My heart won't stop beating. I stare up at the name of it, International Students College. I took a deep breath before walking ahead to it.

"woah, woah, watch out!" I heard someone shout. Before I even move to look at the other side, a hard ball came straight to my cheek. I gasped falling hard on the ground due to shock. Hearing other voices.

"oh, shit!"

"oh, my God!"

"holy!"

"freaaaaaaaaak!"

"are you okay!?" a guy asks, reaching his hand out for me to take it. And I did.

"yeah, sure!" I said it out loud in a cheerful tone with a big smile.

"Your cheek is so red." he says quietly.

"nah, it's alright! This is so new to me and I like to try new things." I told him. He gave me a weird face before shaking it off. Four guys came behind him.

"you okay here, girl?" one of his team said 'geirr' instead of saying girl. I nodded with a waving hand.

"seems you are new here?" another asks. I nod again. Am I really okay? My head starts to aches and heat up.

"yeah, I'm." I said taking my bag from the ground, placing it on my right shoulder. "well, see you guys around." I said before walking off.

"not so sure if she really is fine." says the youngest from one of those guys. Now that was so embarrassing.

The class lessons were cool and calm. Everyone focused on their professor's lecture and I liked it. I got inside the big cafeteria after class two. Still. No one spoke to me. I kind of felt offended, even though it is still my first day. I Ordered a cold water since I was thirty. I found an empty seat and sat there. Taking my notebook out of the bag. Writing the lesson so I can still remember them. I stopped for a while, thinking, could everyone have seen the accident earlier and that's why no one talks to me? I bite my lips harsh. Probably not the reason.

Jeongguk

Thankfully my legs didn't walk over to her after she collapsed on the ground from being hit by the ball. She must feel embarrassed. My smile got its best of me while watching her every move. And her embarrassment look. Seeing her alone was kind of weird. I used to stay by her side whenever she goes outside. I only waited for her time to be off. I better not get caught by her. I was watching her out from my cars window.

Angelina

Someone poke my left back shoulder gently. I turned around to discover a girl with big glasses on. A new friend! My inner self says excitedly.

"may I sit here?" she says with her cool tone. Her tone doesn't really match her cute look.

"sure!" I smiled and she was taken aback from my sudden cheerful tone. She nodded and smiled as well. She sat beside me.

"what have you written?" she asks, peeping on my note book after sipping from her apple juice.

"some lessons." I say. She nodded. I then asked, "what's your name?"

"Jain. You?"

"Angelina."

"Nice to meet you. I hope we get well." I felt my hopes higher.

" Nice meeting you too. Also nice name you have. " I said. She smiles. The break came to an end and we stopped talking. She has many interests. And fun to talk with.

"let me.'' She took my pencil from the table and started to write on my notebook. "this is my number. Call me." she says after getting up.

"thanks. I Will." I said and got up too.

"which class?"

"English." I say.

"Ah, really? Me too." she says. We got inside the English class and sat beside each other. She was a nerd type. But, not her voice. Her tone was a tiny bit deep and cool. Just like those badass girls. But she is energetic, she moves fast. She dresses up good. Her hair black and long. Her color eyes were dark brown. But when the sun hit her eyes, it would be seen as a honey light color.

"I might get burned if you keep looking at me." she jokes.

"Ah, sorry. Didn't realize I was eyeing you for so long. You are pretty, Jain." I say. She stares at me with her hard expression and then smiles.

"thank you. But you are way much ahead of me."
