Box-ed Love

Chapter 1: Request

Dear Diary,

My name is Myoui Mina. I'm Japanese, but I was born in the US. When I was eight years old, I had a crush. I decided one day to tell them my feelings, but they rejected me. And their friends called me ugly, and every time I passed they chanted it. I couldn't bear it anymore, I wore a box on my head, and my parents homeschooled me. I am now 19 years old, and my parents have decided to send me to study abroad, in South Korea. So I've packed my bags, and I have my box.

--Mina's P.O.V.--

I arrived in South Korea, a Japanese family had offered to take me in. I looked around until I saw a girl holding a sign saying 'Mina, Myoui' I went up to the girl. "I, um. I'm Mina." I said, "Oh, ah yes. Come with me." She said, she looked slightly shocked.

"I'm Hirai Momo, I live with the Minatozaki family as well." She said, we walked outside, and she walked towards a car.

She put my bags in the boot and opened the door for me. I got in the car, and she got in the front. There was another girl sitting in the driver's seat, "Hey, I'm Sana Minatozaki. You must be Mina!" She said, she smiled at me and it made her look kinda like a chipmunk. "Uh, Yes." I said, "your parents told us about your, box-thingy.." She said, I just nodded and kept my head down.

We arrived at a big house, and Sana parked the car. Momo unlocked the door, "Appa!! Eomma!! She's here!" Sana shouted. An older couple came down, I bowed and they bowed back. We exchanged introductions, and they showed me, my room. I unpacked my bags and brought out my phone. I went on Instagram, I saw that I had a few friend requests.

I accepted the first two and clicked on the third to check out the profile. It was a girl, about my age maybe younger. She had short hair and dimples. She is adorable, I thought.

I accepted her friend request and started stalking her profile. She was really, REALLY pretty! Unlike me, I'm ugly and nobody likes me. That is why I wear a box on my head, so other people won't call me ugly, and mock me.

I started unpacking my bags. -ding- I checked my phone,

-1 unseen message from CubChaeng-

CubChaeng: Hi

PenguinMyoui: Hey??

CubChaeng: Are you from SK? Your Korean needs improving.

PenguinMyoui: No, I'm Japanese...

CubChaeng: Ah, I'm willing to give you Korean lessons.

PenguinMyoui: thank you, but I don't even know you...

CubChaeng: Son Chaeyoung, 18 years old. I go to JY Performance Academy.

PenguinMyoui: I'm attending JYP-A tomorrow, I'll see you then I guess.

CubChaeng: I look forward to it!

PenguinMyoui: Anyway, Bye...

CubChaeng: I never got your name?

PenguinMyoui: Minari...

CubChaeng: I'll see you tomorrow, Minari.

I walked downstairs to where Sana and Momo were sitting in the kitchen,"hey, Mina! Wanna join us? We're gonna go for a walk" Momo said. "Okay, It'd be better if I get to know Seoul," I said, we put on our coats, and Sana unnie Led the way.

"This is the Han river, it's the best spot for a walk," Sana said, "we come here for picnics, in summer," Momo said. We walked on the leaf covered path, it was peaceful here unlike the busy cities of Japan.

We walked towards a little cafe, it was quite busy inside. We walked up to the counter, the lady stared at me. But quickly looked back at Momo, "What can I get you?" The lady said, her nametag said Chaeyoung.

"One Americano, and a caramel frappé. What do you want, Mina?" Momo said, "a latte please.." I said. We sat down and our orders came, "Mina? Mina?" Sana said, "Yes?" I said, "You've been staring at that girl for 20 minutes," Momo said. "Oh, I just recognize her from Instagram," I said, and it was true. Across from me, behind the counter was the short haired girl. I thought I recognized the name, but wasn't sure until I got a good look.

I saw her approaching our table, and kept my head down. It didn't make a difference as I was wearing a box on my head, but I still tried to hide.

"Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt! But it's Momo, and Sana, right?" She said, "Yes, that's us? Son Chaeyoung, from Art lessons? " Sana said.

"Yeah, I just wanted to ask, who your friend is? She said, smiling at me., " Um, this is Mina. She's from Japan " Momo said. "Nice to meet you, Mina." She said giving me the sweetest smile ever.

"I look forward to seeing you in class, I hope the Minatozaki family treat you well" she said, walking back to the counter, to help another customer.

"Well that was weird, Chaeyoung usually doesn't speak to us. She is one of the schools most popular kids, she is also quite tough. She can be a bully to a lot of people." Sana said, "We haven't talked to her since I moved here. And she taught me Korean, she is quite mean afterward." Momo said.

We stood up, and Momo paid for the drinks. Momo came over to me, and handed me the piece of paper. "I guess the Barista liked you" she said, I looked to see that she had written her number there.

A small smile crept up on my face, but obviously, they couldn't see it.

Nice to meet you, Chaeyoung-ssi. I look forward to our adventures.
