This is the story of Yumi Jung who was Born in Seoul, South Korea. Her parents were from the Gangnam District of Seoul. She was a loved child born from Seo-Hyun and Do-Yun Jung. They treated her as if she was a princess. That is until the day her parents gave her up to a Drug Lord from the states.
You would never think one of the biggest underground drug lords in Oklahoma would visit South Korea themselves. But it is not the drug lord we should focus on just yet. We should begin with the major problem from the start.
Her parents are to blame for getting into the wrong stuff, to begin with.
Yumi was born to two very different people who loved each other so much.
The mother was a full-time employee at a grocery store. She was always in debt from taking loans and not being able to pay them back. She was a very pale lady with a thin body, brown eyes, and a soft expression of almost all times. Her hair was of the most pretty chocolate color, with natural bouncy curls. She one day met a man who seemed so gentle and nice. They fell in love, at first sight, that day hoping to start a happy life with each other.
This man was Yumi's father who had dark green eyes and short wavy hair. He had a somewhat toned tall figure that suited his soft mysterious expression. He always seemed like he was hiding something very dark behind that expression of his.
It was about a month after seeing each other and going on dates that they got married. It was about a year later after the marriage that he revealed he was in some shady business with a drug lord in the states. He told his wife that he owed a lot of money to this person. She still accepted him and told him they would get through it and work together to pay it off. But two years later, they had a baby and even though it was unexpected, they still had the child.
She was born on August 14, 1999. When she was born, she brought a sort of light to them. This baby was Yumi Jung, who was to be the most cherished baby of all. As they promised her, they cared for her for like a princess. That is until (the fire nation attacked lol jk) the evil men who would come every year and scare her parents came. It was now three years after she was born that she had been experiencing it.
And this time differed from the others, as the parents were struggling. Their child was the key priority to worry about. So the money they were saving to put towards the debt was not enough.
This time, the head of the organization saw what was the deal with the low payments. The man was tired of trying to get the money from them, so he told them they had a choice. The child was one option. He could tell she was being well treated, but he saw something in her eyes.
The options were to either get killed or be cleaned of debt, but giving their daughter up. He could tell they were going to save their own ass. He saw it all the time when visiting others. They would treat the child like the world, but then both gave into the greed of money.
He gave them two days to answer and he would be back once more for their answer. Unfortunately for her, they gave her to them as it joyed the parents to be free of debt. She cried as she went away, so confused why she was leaving with the evil men. But her parents never once looked at her.
Once in the states far away from her once home. The boss decided he was going to let the child live with one of his most trusted maids for two years. After the two years of being cared for by the maid, she was to be taken again and go into training to survive this horrible place.
The next four years were like hell for her since they taught her the rules of being in this 'family' and how to defend herself and the 'family'. They punished her multiple times when she wasn't doing things right or disobeying the trainer or boss. Once she was nine already, almost ten, she was like an emotionless killing machine.
Her first job under the boss' wing was to deliver a package of which she was not to ask about. After that day, she was the delivery girl for them and a skilled expert one at that. She wasn't alone, however, or a completely emotionless killer. She only let herself-become soft or 'normal' around her Nana who was the maid that took care of her.
The maid took the child as her own kid when she was three. She felt bad for her, but could only do what she was told by the boss. Even then, she would try to put her foot down on some things. She was a loving lady since the day she took her in.
She had one friend there as well. He would bring her to his room sometimes and play with her, or at least try to. She wasn't so accepting for the first time being with him. It took a while for her to get used to him and soften up, but she soon did after half a year of him trying to approach her.
Now that you know of her past, you must now go with her on this journey to find herself. You will be with her for every step or decision she will be making. Whether bad or good, this is the story of her life.
This is how she found Yumi Jung, a strong and brave girl.
