"Break free as in start my own life overseas." I said.
"I see." Then I heard Hae-Won's phone vibrate. "I gotta' jet. I'll see you later, Shin."
"Later." I waved my hand.
So tomorrow's my birthday, huh? I remembered a totally random memory when I was nine when my parents invited my classmates over for my birthday. My friends and I were playing in the backyard. You know, just the boys and I playing in the backyard.
My mother suddenly showed up and grabbed me away from my friends. I was pulling back wondering why, but she said that Hae-Won was crying. I didn't know what my mom meant because I just wanted to play with the guys. There were also some of the girls in class who visited after all.
"I wanted to play with my friends." I groaned.
And then my mom just slapped my face.
"Hae-Won is your friend too! She's important!" she exclaimed.
