Stuck in Another Time

Chapter 1: A Nice Start

SO HEE's POV

It was a rainy morning. I didn't expect it to start like this, but I guess it's just the weather. Please don't mistaken me to be a nerd in Science, Math and Technology, I just picked that course for better knowledge other than photography. My father, Kyung Lee Young, thinks that photography isn't a passion, but just a waste of your time while my mother, Kyung Ah Jima, appreciates it a bit. The reason why father treats me like that, is because he's always busy as a doctor while my mom is busy as an architect.

I had only one sibling, and his name is Kyung Sam Lee. He's also working as a doctor and now has a wife named Choi Li Ah. After their marriage, my father died during a car accident. My mom continued being an architect while my brother continued his life as a doctor and husband. I had to move away from Gwangju for my scholarship and acceptance at a school called SUOST or Seoul University Of Science and Technology.

It kinda was hard for me to leave my mom, now that she's living with Sam Lee oppa and Li Ah eunnie. In fact, I miss them a lot. I hope I don't become an aunt so quickly. Sam Lee oppa and Li Ah eunnie has been dating for the past four years and then got married after. Their wedding was a year ago and they've been the best of the best. Li Ah eunnie planned to become a business woman due to her wealth, for Sam Lee oppa. Isn't that just cute? I bet it is!

I've been staying in Seoul for a month now, and today I'll be moving to my dorm since it's Sunday. It should be a thirty-minute commute from my aunt's house. Yeah, I was living with my Aunt Jagmi for quite awhile now until today. I'm super excited to move into my dorm, but the worst part is the fact that I have to have a roommate. I hate roommates, and I hate having friends but people admire me for my smartness and well...beauty. It's kinda awkward to talk about beauty since they might think your plastic or a slut.

I have a few friends, but I'm usually introverted. I don't attend parties when they want me too, but I do attend get-togethers if it has only a few people. I'm not those weak, sly, weird and shy nerds. Well, I am a little bit shy when it comes to love, I never even loved anyway. I'm mostly the athletic, competitive, mischievous, strong and feisty nerd. Yes, I've been training self defense, sparring, gymnastics, Taek Won Do and boxing. But I also want to train my voice too, for singing.

I then heard my phone buzz, revealing a text notification from my mom.

Mom

Mom: So Hee, have you arrived to your dorm yet?
Me: not really. But I'm sure I'll arrive sooner or later.
Mom: alright..safe trip, daughter. Be careful with guys and focus on your studies!
Me: yes mom, fighting!

I smiled and closed the chat for my phone to sleep. That's what I like about guys, but she never kind of told me about her love story with dad. She says it's secret and private, but I think she's just flustered. I grabbed my old, leather book that contained a story that father wrote before his death. It was called, The Prince and The Curious. A story about a girl named Ji Sa who found a portal that took her back in time to meet a prince named Lee Kyung.

I then felt the bus stop, so I looked out the window to see..SUOST terminal! I quickly got off with my things and went towards the school building which was not that far away from the terminal. I saw a couple of adults and students walk past me, until I felt a water droplet fall on my forehead.

Oh crap, not now... I thought.

More rain drops to the ground, forming a moderate rainfall. My eyes widened, running slowly to the dorm area. As I arrive, I saw a counter with schedules, documents, etc. I went towards it and gave my documents and school ID to it to give my class schedule for tomorrow and my dorm keys. I red her name tag, Han Min Hyun. Min Hyun was her name. She gave me a kind smile and gave me my schedule and dorm keys.

"Um, excuse me Ms. Han," I asked. "Where can the dormitories be found?"

"It's in the thee building which is the right side of this building." She said.

I nodded and went to the right building to see many students around the area. There was a lounge area that the students were studying and hanging out at. I just ignored and went towards my dorm at the 3rd floor to unpack my things. As I arrived, I saw a girl on a comfy bed. She gave me a smile and I smiled back.

"So..you're my roommate?" She asked, awkwardly.

"Maybe." I replied, shortly.

I then went to my bed side to set my bag there to unpack. Awkward silence filled the air, and I was just focusing on unpacking. She then approached me by laying on my bed.

"My name is Sy Za. Eun Sy Za." She said and reach out her hand for me to shake.

I looked at her hand before shaking it, and but then shook it gladly and gave her a slight smile.

"So Hee. Kyung So Hee."

She puffed out her cheeks and got off my bed, she approached me again and we talked for the whole afternoon while unpacking. I learned she had a cute nature, and that she was also bubbly, kind, loud, talkative and caring. But she also had a feisty side.

I guess being here's isn't so bad? I yawned and slept peacefully.
