The picture at the top is Yuna if anyone was interested

"Its been 16 Years to the day that I lost my mother" I say to myself feeling awefully down, whilst looking through the family photo album that I managed to save after that aweful day.

"I miss her" I say to no-one in particular as I smiled sadly, teary-eyed
I keep flicking the pages until I stop at one that features a wedding photo
"My mother and father looked so happy that day" Smiling wider, "I wonder what he's upto these days"

"Who?" My roommate, Jenny says as she walks into the apartment from work

I smile at her "Welcome back, Jenny" I greet "And to answer your question, I was wondering about my father"

She give me a simpathetic smile, she knows about what happened in my past

"You say this after every time you look at the photo album, why don't you try searching for him? You sure as hell deserve to have him back in your life" I smile, What would I do without this woman?

I've known her since I first moved to the US 11 years ago , she's the first friend that I made here. Moving Countries by myself was scary, I suppose you could say that I was still a baby at the time, just 16, I knew nobody, she was and always will be my hero.

"I've thought about it, but..."

"What the hell's stopping you?" She almost shouts "Don't you want to have him back in your life?"

"Of course I do, It's just that.. What if he doesn't want me?" I say reverting back into the shy girl that I was when I first got here

"You'll never know if you don't try, if it makes you feel better I'll even travel with you" she suggests

"I mean I don't know about you but I could really do with a change of scenery" Jenny continues

I chuckle I love this woman!

"Fine, but I don't know how long it will take to track him down, so maybe we could apply for work over there?"

Jenny holts for a moment

"y-yeah about that I don't speak Korean, unlike someone" She slightly hesitates.

"Don't worry I'll help you" I try to comfort her

"Then how about, we cook dinner and discuss this while we eat?" She replies

"Sure" I smile and then go to help with the preperations.
Twenty minutes later we're sat at the table eating our meal.

"So.. Have you thought of a plan at all yet?" Jenny asks me.

"Well since your already working within the design industry, and I'm already a music producer we could look at the enertainment industries to start with, but try to find work at the same place if possible, What do you think so far?" I suggest she looks at me with a serious face

"I think that's our best bet, yeah"

After we finish eating we both bring our laptops into the living room and start job hunting for vacantcies in South Korea, I find a place that has two availiable, both matching our personal professions, so I apply for the both of us.
