"Baby, you light up my world like...." I sang as I approached my home. I sighed as I reached up and opened the iron gates that lead towards my home. My home was bigger than usual but I usually ended up feeling lonely, because I was a single child and mom and dad weren't really home. Just me and Jae ajumma(Korean for aunty). I shook my head and saluted the gate keeper, Byung samchon(Korean for uncle) and bounced my way in.

Jae ajumma was already standing at the door with a stern look. I grimaced, shouldn't have stayed out for so long. But it was only 7 in the evening, I internally whined.

"Where the hell were you?!" She shouted in Korean. I flinched and gave her a sly smile.

"Ajumma, I love you" I said. She still kept her stern face on but said "I was worried."

I chuckled lightly at how she tried to be angry. "I am sorry. I was reading", I replied while holding up my book. She looked at my book and then back at me and sighed deeply.

"Kids these days" She muttered but went inside anyways. I followed her and instantly she sat a glass of water on the coffee table.

"Papa, ma aren't home yet?" I looked up and asked her, she shook her head. As expected, I thought.

"I am going to my room, see ya for dinner" I bowed and climbed the stairs to my room.

I entered my room and headed staright for the bathroom and washed my hands and face. I looked in the mirror and starred at my reflection. I had pale skin, round hooded black eyes, staright black hair and chubby cheeks. I slapped my face lightly and tried to get myself back to reality.

I was an Indian-Korean who lived in Korea from the past 4 years, I knew Korean almost perfectly. I had only two friends here - Rose and Ari.

I laid on my bed and scrolled through my laptop for any upcoming dance competitions. I was a dance major and a management grad minor and worked in a dance studio 5 days a week. I earned a little but enough to save because my papa was very rich. I sometimes didn't like it, my parents were always working I rarely saw them.

I was immersed in video game when Jae called me downstairs for dinner. Like most of the times it was Jae, her husband Byung samchon(Korean for uncle) and me.

We had our dinner while I talked about my day and they listened patiently. Like any parent would, my mind taunted, I didn't listen to it.

My parents worked hard for me to give me a good life. I respected them but sometimes I missed them.

It was about 1 am when I kept my controller down. Something wasn't right, something wasn't feeling right. No one was home expect me and the gate keeper who was on night duty, he never was inside, always uptight and on duty. I felt uneasy, restless but I couldn't pinpoint why. I got up to drink water from my bottle when I heard shouting.

Wait, what? Shouting? No one was home.

I tip toed downstairs with a small pair of sharp scissors, incase it was an intruder. The voices became clearer, it was Amma and appa. I sighed, not a big deal. I was about to turn back when I heard what they were saying.

"We have to save her!" Amma shouted. Her? Who? Someone needed saving?

Amma and appa owned a PR firm, their work included so much marketing, brainstorming but never any dangerous activities. Were they in danger? Was someone else? My mind raced through all the possibilities, each worse than the previous.

"I know! I am her papa after all!" Dad's voice was in between a shout and a sob. My heart sank. I tucked the scissors in the pocket of my sweat pants and sat on the stairs to listen, eavesdrop, was the right word.

"We must do what we planned" Amma said as tears started rolling from her eyes.

"Is there no choice?" Appa shook his head. He sounded so disappointed.

What is going on her? I felt so heartbroken seeing my parents cry like this, so helpless. They were my pillars and now they look so hopeless.

"Sia! My love." Appa called looking upstairs. I gasped at the sudden attention and replied "Coming appa!"

My twisted my fingers together, took a deep breath and released it slowly. He sounded so serious. I was walking as if my legs had been laden with weights. My legs were shaking badly as I reached the last step.

"Baby, we both love you so much" Amma said hugging me. It didn't feel like that warm but strong embrace she always had. It felt like a goodbye, whatever it was I didn't want to say goodbye to either of them.

"Mama, whats wrong?" I broke the hug and asked.

"You will have to run away from here"
