Live Or Love

CHAPTER 1

"Do you really have to go?."

Mom asked me while were on the car on the way to airport.

"We already talked about this right? I don't want any dramas before i leave. Dad is waiting for me. I don't know his plans for me. I've never worked with him and another thing is his out of country. Good thing that he's in South Korea. Where exactly where i want to be."

Mom pouted her lips and she just focused on her driving.

"Take care, honey. Call me when you get there ok?"
I hugged her tight and went straight on the plane. I really don't like partings.

I am actually super excited going to Korea. I'll be closer to my idols, BTS! I will have a bigger chance to see them! Why did they not existed when i was still kid?

If i could actually live there again it would be nice. But working is good too. I don't really have a choice.

Everyone's telling me that i was just a pain in the butt in the Philippines. Even my friends thinked the same way too.

But mom believes in me and loves me always.

Mom is pure Filipina with all the manners and superstition while Dad, well my appa is Korean.

I was born in Daegu, January 3rd of the year 1994. I am 21 years old but technically i am 22 years old in Korea. Because they count your first year once you are born. That's why when mom gave birth to me in January 3,1994 in Korea i am already 1 year old. We went to the Phillipines back when i was 15 years old. Now, i'll be back in my birthplace after 7 long years.

"Min-min-aah!"

Dad called me by my silly nickname. He was waiting for me.

"Appa! Hajima! You know i don't like it when you call me by that."

"Call me Kang Min-Ah!"

"I guess some things never really change. How are you, my Min-Ah?"

"I know you're excited to be back here. Don't worry about your stuffs. Your luggage will be taken care of by Secretary Nam. She will also escort you to your apartment after we have lunch."

"Appa.. i'm fine on my own!."

"Gwenchana, minmin-ah. Don't be so stubborn. Let your Dad do this small things for you."

SMALL THINGS. This is what i don't like about my Dad. He's using his power to control everything and anything.

"Chairman Kang, everything's settled in the restaurant that you chose. We should go now."

One of the bodyguards told us.

Ughhh., seriously i don't like this kind of treatment but i don't have a choice. My dad is the chairman of Kang Industries here in Korea. A lot of people look up to my dad's business. That's why he never let their expectations down.

The restaurant was closed because Dad rented it for us. When we get there we ate and talk a bit. I was really tired by the time he was called for an emergency appointment. He left me with Secretary Nam to go home.
