Me (Jeongcheol) [Wattys2017]

He was staring at himself in the mirror.

His black hair was falling over his eyes that look back at him.

He smiles sadly.

He hates moving to a new place and he just did it for the first time.

His dad got a new job and Boom! Well, the new job was more an excuse.

He new the true reason why his parents wanted him away from his old school.

Now he's here and needs to start a new life.

New school, new friends, maybe a new love.

Well their wasn't any old love but maybe he finds one.

He sighs and ruffles his hair with his hands.

"Why? Why can't we just stay home?", he says to his reflection.

"Seongcheol!"

"I'm coming mom!", he yells back and picks up his bag that's lying on his bed.

Why again was he doing this?, he thinks. Was he so stupid and thought going to a new school might be fun?

He doesn't notice that he stood frozen in the hallway until his mum waves her hand in font of his face.

"Seongcheol, come on. It's your first day at school! You should be happy about meeting new people!", she says happily and he smiles.

His mother was such a good person.

He can't let her think that he doesn't like their new home because she loves it so much.

The new people. The new town.

"Now go or you won't get the bus!", she says and gives him his lunch pack.

"Thank you mom", he says. Gives her a kiss on the cheek and walks out of the house.

Into a new life.

Little did he know what will come.
