Hye-jin POV
"WHY DID YOU SNATCH MY BOOK!" He gives a really weird look on his face.
"DID YOU HEAR ME?!!!!" I yelled at him.
"You know what I want." he says swayingly
"NO I DON'T, GIVE ME MY FREAKING DIARY!!!!!" I roared
"Take your hoodie off and your shirt. And your br..."
"EEW, PERVERT!!!!!"
All of the sudden a girl pops out of nowhere.
"Steve, what did we talk about girls."The girl says
"EXTRA THICK!" he exclaims
"Get out." she says with the look
The man drops my diary and runs 4 blocks away
She then turns to me and says "Your not from around here are you?"
"No" I reply while kneeling to grab my diary.
"Where are you from?"
"Korea"
"Are you sure, you sound English to me, whatever."
"Anyway, nice to meet you!"
She's really loud, I've just met her too.
"Y-yea." i say quietly
"What's your name?" she questions
"Lee Hye-jin." I say
"Wow long, pretty name. Can I call you something else?"
"Yeah" I say without thought
"Katsuku, it's perfect"
"So, um... what is your name?"
"Oh me, my name is Knox, Nzuri but people call me Baleka"
"Oh uh ok, well uhh i have to um go"
"Where too"
"I- I Uhhhh.... Ummmm....Truth is I- I ran away, please don't call the cops!"
"Welcome to the gang, I ran away too. About a month ago. Why did you run away?"
"I wanted to be a musician, my mom wanted me to be a doctor and i am strong towards my passions.''
"Really, you must have had a hard life."
"Umm... Yeah"
"You know why I ran away. Both of my parents died and I had a foster mom who was 'Hapana' you know. So the door was open and I ran with the money I had."
"Uhm ok..."
"You could stay with me though."
"I guess so" I say holding my arm
"YAY!!!"

Diary POV
Nzuri lives in a store basement. I am now somehow helping Nzuri or Baleka idk with buying a house. They don't trust her because she is Ugandan, and they are Japanese. Also because she is a teen, by herself. Right now Baleka trying to make me wear a dress so im not noticed but a dress is going to stand out. I wonder how Nam is doing. I miss him as much as mom, and dad too. Well Nzuri is really something... I'm not sure why i trust her though. I guess its because she actually looks nice and not hobo-ish. She brought ramen, out of all my Korean years I've never heard of it because Idk. I do know ramyeon though.

Hye-jin POV
"Alright I have to go to work at the Convenience store. Bye Katsuku!"
"B-but..."
Before i can finish she is gone, nowhere to be found. Now i am just sitting on a small bed, in a basement, under a convenience store, alone. I went on my phone to see 23 missed calls from my mother. I saw a text from her saying to come home my little doctor. I don't wanna come home, i want to fulfill my passions. But i'm lost in a place unknown to me, Tokyo. Different food, different culture, different everything. Is anything similar.
Alone I am scared to go out and meet new people. What if there are more people like Steve. Wait, why was Steve scared of Baleka. Whatever, I am going outside to get a hamburger, There is a McDonalds across the street from the convenience store. I have $54.84 left i'm still feeling kinda empty after the ramen. So i'm in line and the lady asks me "Pardon."
She repeats herself.
I point to a picture of a frappe and and bbq chicken tenders.
The lady says "7. 79-En ni narimasu"
A good looking boy in line says "she means 7.79 yen. You should have learned Japanese before going to japan. Unless you ran away from here."
"W-why would you think that?"
"One, you have that accent"
"Watashi wa anata no tame ni nani ga dekiru?"
"What a-accent?"
"Two, nothing that beautiful is from japan."
All the ladies looked at him like excuse me. What is this feeling, it's nothing i've ever felt before. My cheeks their so red. I don't have yen so I have to go back.
"Why are you leaving so soon."
"I don't have any yen"
"I'll pay for it." he turns to the cashier and says "Appurupai o tsuika shite kudasai" While my food is cooking I sit at a table. The boy walks up to me.
"Hi, my name is Kishi michi,Shinshi."
Baleka walks into Mcdonalds. Asking for ramen, man she is out of her mind. After her order Baleka comes to my table and talks to Shinshi.
"Shinshi" she says disgustedly
"Nzuri" Shinshi says bitterly
What's happening, what have they had so bitter with each other.
Baleka then says "Katsuku go over there." Me trusting Baleka going to the destination where she pointed to. Baleka says "Do you know this cheating bastard."
"No who is he."
"My ex"
"Huh"
"You also wanna know who he is?" Baleka asks
"Y-yes."
"Remember Steve, he is his Grandson."
"B-but he's nothing like Steve."
"Not now but you will find out. You should go back, Katsuku"
I am speechless for a minute. Somehow Baleka gets ramen and leaves. I stay to speak to Shinshi for a while and finish my food.
"I-i gotta get going now."
"What's your name?"
"Its Lee Hye-jin"
"Can i have your number--"
Baleka pulls me and drags me away before he could finish.
He yells across the street "We have to meet again sometime"
I hold up an ok sign as Baleka keeps dragging me
An hour after,
"I FINALLY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET A HOUSE LET'S CALL THEM TODAY! YAY!"
"Yeah" I say thinking of Shinshi.
Baleka says in singsong voice "We're gonna have a house, Katsuku, Yay."
"How can a man be so handsome and be charming?"
Baleka asks "What do you want for dinner"
"JJAJENGMENYEON!"
"What's that?" she says with a confused look
"MF" I Say with the Judgy face
"WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE THIS IS A CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER!!" she says as she pops her head
"Let's head over to the people for my house right now!" Baleka exclaims
"K" i say
"Hausukanpanī dono yō ni watashi wa anata o tasukeru koto ga dekiru?" the man says
"2 Beddorūmu no ie o onegaishimasu'' Baleka says
The man look at her like a woman thats african, pft, NOT TO DAY.
"Le (no)" the man replies
The man was Korean, he noticed me standing there. This is translated for the readers
So I said to him "sillyehabnida, wae andwaeyo?(Excuse me, why not?)"
And he said "She's black, she might be dangerous. "
"She's my friend you racist bastard. Where's your manager at."
"Uhhhhh"
"That's what I thought now you will sell us the house Asap, Scratch that on the double Asap."
"Is there a problem. I am the manager" a voice says
"Yes, Your person here is a racist MFing person as your employee. Mr. Manager why are you hiding. " I say
"No reason." he says revealing himself
SHINSHI! What's he doing there. Oh No not that feeling again. My cheeks are redder than before. Shinshi has a business card that has his direct phone number. The employee sells the house to us and gives us the key. I have my own bedroom too, it's perfect. Shinshi slipped to me his phone number. I will soon call it.
