How I did my best

OH. MY. FREAKINN. GAWSH.

I have been staring at this for like 30 ticking minutes. My hands are still shaking and I still could not believe that I am actually holding something which I have long yearned.

MY VERY OWN PLANE TICKET TO SEOUL!

Like, hello, who could have imagined that I could really, really go to Korea?

I remembered, exactly a year ago, when I almost knelt in front of my Papa just to let me watch a concert ofwhich my favorite K-pop group, EXO, was to perform. (well who doesn't love them, by the way?) I was unto the verge of my begging when Papa really got mad.

"DANNA QWYN, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KOREA."

I already bargained my gadgets, birthday blowouts for the next 5 years, shopping allowances & even volunteered to clean my own room and do the laundry for 6 months. But none of them must have tickled him, until I said,

"If I'd top my class this graduation, wouldn't that be much of a good deal?"

I was kind of hesitant because hello, I have never even reached the 10th spot, though I  was consistenly part of the Top 15. But the idea of topping my class struck my Papa, and he gave it a yes!

"Ok then. But ONLY, if you would TOP your class." he said.

You want happened next? I took advanced summer classes, spent 4 hours a day & 8 hours every weekend of PLAIN STUDYING, tried-out for some scholastic competitions and reviewed until I won, and STUDIED MORE.

I never even thought I'd be able to really make it to the top, but I did. So on my graduation speech, I really said,

"You know what, the reason why I gave all my best to reach this far is not really because I want to graduate on top, but because I wanted to go to Seoul & watch a K-pop group concert. So I had to trade my life as a fulltime fan girl with the life of a real student. But see? I was able to grab both. So it doesn't really matter what reasons may brought us to where we are, as long as we give off the best of ourselves in it, surely there won't be a reason for us to regret in the end."

And all the issues regarding me cheating off my way to become the Class Valedictorian were cleared.

So back to reality which is still 10% surreal for me, I hurriedly ran to the chicken and noticed that the whole family was actually there. When I say whole family, I meant my Mama & Papa, since I haven't got any siblings at all.

"Mama! Papa! Omoooo! I just...KYAAAAA!" I exclaimed while hugging each one of them.

"Danna, can you please calm down? I know you're excited but we're still at the dining room." Mama said.

"Nggg. Sorry. But really, Ma, Pa, thank you so much for this." With teary eyes, I giggled and kissed them both on the cheeks.

While having our dinner, I heard a familiar voice approaching to the dining room.

"Mama! Papa! oh, seems like you're disregarding me. How could you eat without my presence!" and he pouted.

Of course he's not my brother. He is Gian, my only Paternal cousin. Well to be exact, he is my only cousin, because my mama is also an unica hija.

"But your mom called & she told me you had a date! We thought you already have dinner. Looks like our guy is into girls now, huh?" My mom, who loves hi  a lot, said.

"Woah, my mom is making-up again. And besides, I'm not really into girls right now. In fact, they're into me." Gian said.

"Oh really G? Now you're the one who's making up! And why are you in here again?"

"I thought we'd be planning for our trip?"

"What?" Gian is coming with me?

"Of course Danna we could not allow you to go to Korea alone. So since Gian already went to Korea before, would accompany you for your trip."

Now I remembered. Gian went to Korea with his family last summer vacation to visit some of her Mom's friends. But gaaaah, Gian is such a big eater, how can I budget my allowance with this guy?

"What now Baby D, don't want me to accompany you? Hah. You might end up calling your papa to pick you up at someplace you don't even know. You might know Korea that much, but virtual knowledge is way different than actual experiences. Trust me, D, I'll take care of you."

Then everyone laughed. Well, Gian has some point though. It actually doesn't matter if I'd be with someone or not. The thing is, I sure would come!

As I was laying on my bed after such a huge day, I let out a wide grin. All my imagines suddenly went out, like screaming for EXO, taking pictures on the concert arena, buying merchandises, lining up for fansigns and of course, finally seeing KRIS up close, and not just from my laptop screen.

I grabbed my phone for a while, looked at Kris' picture on my wallpaper, and kissed him, I mean my phone. 

"Hang in there, baby, I'll see you real soon."
