HAPPINESS [STRAY KIDS' HWANG HYUNJIN] ✅

Chapter 4 : So Excited

I was going to buy the ticket and leave everything here, in New York. But then, I remembered my friend.. Jane, Drake and my foster mother, Miss Haul. I have to get permission first and duhh of course I need to tell them, they're my friends and family in New York. I waited for Jane to come home at the living room while watching 'Fallen' on television.

Boring~

I start to doze off when the advertisment took longer than expected. I fall asleep on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate on my coffee table. I snuggle in my blanket to find warm and that was the last thing I remember before falling asleep.

Ding dong~ Ding Dong~ Di-Ding Dong~

I wake up to an annoying sound and I know who is it. It's been four hours since I fall asleep and now Jane has come home. I open the door and made a face.

"You didn't bring your keys again huh,". To my suprised, it is not Jane!! It's Miss Haul. Shoot! I haven't clean my house ! I started to panic because I know when she starts blabber, it won't stop until that 'thing' settled down.

I tried my best to give a sincere smile, "Hi Miss Haul, is there anything I can help you with?," she smiles.

"Nothing, hahaha. I just want to visit my little puppy right here. We just live a stones' throw away but I can't see you often, my bad. I'm sorry you had to gone through a hard life as a fifteen years old girl. By the way, I heard from Jane that you received a letter from Korea this morning. What is it about?," she already had a sad smile as if she knows what the letter is about.

"Oh, Jane told you that ? Mm nothing important. Really about that letter...," I hesitate. She then holds my hand.

"Please tell me, I promise I won't be mad or sad" she gave me a smile.You just asked me as if you knew about everything and gave me a sad smile then you say you won't be sad?! I tighten my hands around hers.

"I receive a letter from m-my.. b-brother, h-he sai-" she cuts my words.

"You should see him" and she give me the most simple but meaningful smile.

"Of course I will see him. But the problem is.. Aunt Shin wants me to m-move back to Korea and live with my brother". Miss Haul stopped and look into my eyes.

"You deserve this. I know you waited for this moment just like the fairytales you always read when you were 6 years old. I'll always support you. I can help you buy your flight ticket, I'm sure they will find a better school for you there," she smiles again and a drop of tears wet her cheeks.

"But Miss Haul, I haven't tell Drake and Jane. They must be feeling sad if I just go without saying goodbye," I said. "It's okay, take your time here. If you are ready, tell them that you need your brother more than you need them. They must understands," she smiles softly.

"Okay Miss Haul, I will tell them once I'm ready,". I feel like I'm the most happiest person in the world. Finally I get to see my family!!!

Miss Haul steps out of the door and said she needs to go home as her little son Jason haven't eat anything yet. But then, "Oh Hannah, a reminder for you. Please clean your house. I want it to look beautiful and clean before you move out.". I sigh and put an 'okay' sign with my hand. Then she says goodbye to me and walks home.

A few hours after that, *click*. "Hannah, I'm home," Jane shouted.

"Right here !" I shouted from my bedrooms, loud enough for her to hear it. She rushes to my bedroom and she sits next to me. She smiles sadly at me.

"Hannah, I've heard everything from Miss Haul. And I'm not mad or anything. It's just that I want you to know, if something happens there, call me or Drake, or even Miss Haul. We all are here to support you," Tears start to well in my eyes and she hugs me tight.

"Hahaha I need to search for a new housemate then. But I hope she has more sense of hygiene than you!," Jane teased me.

"Oh my stop it!!," I throw my pillow at her. " There you go. I was waiting for that sweet smile of yours which can make everyone falls in love," I roll my eyes and she laughed.

I take out my luggage under my bed and start packing my things. "Hey Jane, should I bring everything or what?," she laughs.

"Of course everything !! You are moving out of here gurl, not having a vacation," She made a 'duh' face. It looks like I have to bring more than one bag. Jane sits down next to me and helps me pack up.

"So, have you bought the ticket? When is your flight?," I shake my head.

"Not yet, but Miss Haul said she will settle that down for me. I don't know which flight will she buy for me,". She just smiles and continues to fold my clothes nicely and put it in my luggage.

"Jane, can you help me with something?," she nods. "Let's say that my flight is tomorrow night... Please tell Drake that I enjoyed every minutes being his friend and thanks for everything. Tell him that I'm sorry that I cannot watch his final football match," she pats my shoulder and smiles. "Okay, I will tell him for you, Hannah"

~ The Next Morning ~

I finish packing up my thing. My room seemed like a new room as it is super clean and.. empty. I feel sad to leave them but I know something that is waiting for me in Korea would be better. Miss Haul said that she bought a flight ticket at 7 p.m. Drake's match will be on 8:30 p.m. Maybe I shouldn't tell him by myself. I don't want him to feel sad.

Miss Haul comes and she is worried about everything. Hahaha funny enough. "I will miss you my sweetie pie. I'll try to be there every year for special celebration with Drake and Jane, so don't worry about us here. Make sure to always take care of your health and-" I cut her.

"Yes Miss Haul, hahaha thanks for everything here but don't you remember? I'm not there alone, I'm with my family," I gave her a smile. She then hugs me.

"You're welcome" and she kissed my forehead. "And you're always welcome to go here to visit or live with us again!"

"Jane, just so you know, we've done everything since primary school together including being a foster daughter to Miss Haul. I hope we can still text each other and gossips like we always do here hahaha," I hug her.

Jane said, " I won't find a good mate like you again and you need to know that I love you Hannah!!!," I hug her tightly and she cries by my shoulder.

It is 4 p.m. and I made sure I didn't left anything behind. I will make sure Jane, Drake and Miss Haul feel like I'm never here. I will give them presents every year on any celebration for sure.

I need to go to the airport 2 hours earlier so that I won't get conflicted flight or any problem. Miss Haul called the taxi. The taxi arrived and we put my luggages together in the boot of the taxi. I have about 2 big luggages and 1 big hand bag. Opss? I go to the airport alone because Miss Haul needs to take care of her children and Jane have school. Ugh as a fifteen years old, I find it really hard and scared at the airport and in plane alone. I get my ticket and sent my luggage to the luggage station and waited for my flight patiently. I go to the Starbucks to buy Caramel Frappuccino. I sit at the small café and text my brother.

Me: Chanho-sshi, I've arrived at New York's airport, Stewart International Airport. My flight is on 7 p.m.

Chanho: Oh alright. It will take about 5-6 hours right? Then you will be here at 3 or 4 a.m. I will make sure my manager will take you when you reach there. His name is Mr. Kim. He will wait for you and holds your name in front of the gate at the airport.

Me: Aren't you going to pick me up ? :(

Chanho: Omo, I'm so sorry but I have a fashion show tomorrow so I need to sleep well. Don't worry, I will text you where and when we can meet ;)

Me: Hahaha alright <3

Chanho: Have a safe flight sister!! Can't wait to see you soon :D But next time, call me oppa ;)

So exciting!
