Quest For Oppa

Plans to Leave Home

When I got home I immediately started packing all of the clothes in my closet that my suitcase would fit. After packing, I booked a flight to Korea for 2 days from now, I figured I'd give myself some time to explain to everyone, especially Cyrus. I shoved my packed suitcase under my bed and began writing a note for my little sister Ruth:

Mi-Hyun, 

I love you so much. I hate to leave you here all alone, but you have lots of friends here. They'll keep you company while I'm gone. I'm sorry. Be back soon.  

-Unni

I folded the paper up and slipped it into my desk drawer. I would put it under her pillow when I was ready to leave. I sighed and leaned back onto my headboard. That's it. I was going back to Korea to find Jae-Hwa and nothing was going to stop me. I yawned and sunk down into my pillows slowly falling asleep.

I woke up abruptly the next morning coughing harshly. I'd fallen asleep without my comforter over me. "Dammit Tori get it together." I mumbled shuffling into the bathroom. Boy was I a sight. My hair was sticking up every which-way possible and there was so much crud in my eyes it hurt to blink.  

"Gross." I grunted flipping on the hot water. After taking my shower I pulled out my phone and texted Cyrus:  

'Meet me at the clubhouse' 

I pushed send hoping he wouldn't ask any questions and just said okay. I threw my towel over my head and went downstairs into the kitchen. 

"Morning Yoona!" Ruth shouted while hugging my knees. I almost toppled over her but caught myself on the railing. 

"Be careful." I said bopping her head lightly. She smiled sheepishly exposing her missing two front teeth, "mmkay unni." she nodded. 

I walked into the kitchen to make myself a quick breakfast before meeting with Cyrus.  

"Ya, Unni?" Ruth said curiously trying to tie and orange ribbon in her hair.  

"Hmm..?" 

"Do you think umma and appa will take us to DisneyWorld this summer?" she tugged at the ribbon. 

I nodded silently and finished off the bagel I was eating. It stung me inside knowing I'd be leaving her soon. She was only 6. We were practically joined at the hip. 

"I'm leaving out for a bit. Go next door with Sara until I get back. Call me if you need anything." I said. 

She gave me the okay signal and left the house with the ribbon knotted up in her hair. I sighed and headed out myself. My phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a message from Cyrus saying he'd be there in a sec. Good; no questions asked. I walked down a couple of alleyways before reaching the clubhouse, an abandoned apartment.  

"So...?" Cyrus said curiously tapping his fingers on the dusty countertop.  

"I'm leaving. In two days." I said emptily.  

Cyrus' jaw dropped in disbelief.  

"But where?! And why?!" he questioned. 

"Korea, I said it was boring here, so I'm going on an adventure, to find my first love." I replied. 

"I will NOT let you leave without me!" he yelled clinging onto my waist.  

I sighed, "Under one condition..."  

He quickly let go of my waist and sat on the dirty floor giving me his best puppy dog face. 

"You help me find him." I said. 

He sprang up off the floor and embraced me once more, "I'll be a good helper! I won't let you down!"  

I shook my head, 'At least he knew some Korean to get him around.'  

"So...how are you gonna get past your parents." he said cocking his head to the side. 

"No big deal, I'll say I wanted to visit cousins an stuff. They should believe that."  

Cyrus shrugged and gave me a "what now" look.  

"Get up, you need to get a ticket and get packed soon." I bopped the back of his head. 

"You really like doing that dont you?" he chuckled.
