"What did I do to deserve this?" Ellie wondered as she took her belongings out of her office. She is, or was, a music teacher at an Arts high school in Seoul. She had just graduated from music school a year or so ago in the United States. She packed all her things to move to Seoul because her boyfriend at the time more or less got her the job. He broke up with her right before she was set to move; so despite the breakup she still took the job and found a place to live. So how did she get fired from her teaching job of eight months you ask? Well, it's an odd story to say the least! Of all the things Ellie could be fired for (ie: her pastel hair, tattoos, her more or less unorthodox teaching style, yelling at other teachers) she was fired because of a song she wrote. Ellie wrote music and sold it online for musicians in the K-pop industry. So a certain artist bought a song off her and it was made public, against her request, which lead to the school board finding out. So what artist bought a song off of her? Jay Park, yeah that's right, Park Jaebum! So in short... it's all Jay Park's fault!

Apparently it wasn't a rule Ellie broke. Apparently the stigma, students constantly asking about it... was what got Ellie fired. Students of hers or not, they were asking if she got to meet him, or if she could get them autographs, or if they could hear this song. It was two days of insanity! Ellie would just say he bought it off her site, she never met him face to face and said no to those requests. She did meet Jay, but that didn't get her fired. They did swap numbers and social media because she was going to see production through before the song was released. Apparently what she did was disruptive to the student body, a new rule was made because of her, and she was then fired subsequently. She was packing up her office and her students were so sad. Her band, choir and theory classes were turned into study halls since the end of the year was near. Ellie took a selca with all her students in the classroom after school since she would probably never see them again. 

"It was good working with you... I enjoyed being your teacher these 8 months... Why I was fired was unclear, but so be it. You're wonderful kids, you'll do well in this world in whatever you choose to do." she captioned. The kids all followed her Instagram since they insisted they'd miss her, it warmed Ellie's heart. Ellie took a bow and started walking towards the bus stop. "I wonder how I'll pay my rent next month..." Ellie wondered. She was waiting at the bus stop when her thoughts were interrupted by a BMV that pulled up right in front of her... "Could that be? No way!" Ellie thought to herself. Someone was getting out of the car.
