CECILIA'S POV

"Mom! Dad! I'm going!! Johnny is waiting for me!" I yelled while waiting for my parents to come and bid me goodbye.
"Oh my sweet little bear is going to Seoul" mom pinched my cheeks.
"Be careful" dad simply said caressing my head, he didn't like to be overly sweet or affective but I could read in his eyes that he didn't want me to leave, they were a little damp as if he was about to cry but was barely able to hold it in,
"I will" I reply, my body and mind a bit numb because of the anxiety that grew in me more and more as every second ticked away.
"Lim HwaYoung Cecilia. Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Yes mom" I give my parents both a tight hug.

"Cici!" I heard a familiar voice calling me from the back.
"Sky!" I smiled brightly throwing myself into her arms.

Sky has been my bestfriend since we were toddlers and she is one of the most precious people in this world.

"Where is Jennie?" I asked noticing my little sister absence.
"I reckon she's still sleeping" my dad chuckles glancing at the wall clock.
"That little brat, her sister is leaving and she's sleeping, unacceptable" I shake my head in a jokingly disapproving manner.
"Oh, I should get going, it's getting late" I hugged once again my parents and they kissed my cheeks.
"Don't worry too much about me, I'm going to call you as soon as I get there, I love you!" I waved my hand while the other dragged my small suitcase with me.

Anyway I forgot to introduce myself, my bad.
I'm Lim HwaYoung Cecilia, or Cici for my friends. I'm 13, soon turning 14.
My parents and Sky's are bestfriends and they live in San Diego.
Me and Sky are going to Korea for academic purpose and my older brother and hers are there, my brother's name is Jaebum and Sky's brother is Yugyeom.

"Cici what are you staring at?" She asks snapping me back to reality.
"How many good memories did we make in this city? I'll miss this view and this neighborhood " my voice dragging a clear hint of sadness.
"Me too" Sky nodded her head..


She is 1 year older than me, she is the opposite of me: she likes cute things, I'm more of a shy, tomboyish type; she likes sweet food, I prefer salty food; she is very talkative and I'm more of a listener (though I can be very talkative with my closest friends).
At school she was popular because of her bright character and she'd stand for anyone who's in trouble, I'm a little more of a quiet type, I don't like being at the center of the attention.
She likes summer, I prefer winter. She's an early riser while I'm a night owl.

We both love music and fooling around. And we both like each other's company.

"Johnny are we almost at the airport?" I asked hugging his seat, another thing about me? I hate staying still.
"Not yet. Don't worry you won't miss your flight" he answered not showing any emotion.
He is Johnny, I often call him uncle because he raised me when my parents were away for work which was very often, by the way.

"I'll take a nap then" I said closing my eyes, soon enough I fell asleep.

Not long after Sky woke me up by keeping on shaking me.
"Hey! Wake up! We 're at the airport! Come on!" She shook me violently.
"Ok stop it! I got it!" I complained trying to get rid of her grip, I moved forward trying to come out of the car without hitting my head, I was dizzy, mainly because Sky shook the living daylights out of me, and because I just woke up and I need some time to get my mind to work.

"Korea we are coming!" Sky exulted looking even more excited than me.
"Johnny we are leaving!" I shout and pecked his cheek, "Take care miss" he said waving his big hands, and smiling warmly at me. I nodded my head and bid him goodbye.
