Autumn is about to end, That means Winter is just around the corner. I could tell from the chilly breeze that brushes my cheeks from time to time.



It would've been neat if I was a winter person, but oh well. I don't hate the snowy season, I just find it dead and so hard to deal with. I mean, it is fun to watch snow fall from the sky I guess, but then you'll have a menacingly big block of snow piling up in your lawn the next day. And not to mention the temperature that could probably kill you, slowly and painfully. So yeah, you could say I don't hate it, but I absolutely don't like it.


And here I am, in the back seat of our family car. Listening to whatever's in my playlist. My mom was in the passenger seat infront of me, while I sat beside my older sister who was sitting right in front of our dad in the driver's seat.


I haven't really processed everything quite clearly, but all I've understood at the moment is that we're moving.



Where was it again? Oh right, busan. I don't even know why we'd move all of a sudden, especially when we were doing just fine in our previous hometown. This isn't the first time we've moved somewhere else, but moving so suddenly is still odd to me. Maybe, it's related to my parent's work? Who knows, my parents are always full of surprises, so it might not be as surprising come to think of it.



And it doesn't matter anyway, since I didn't really have anything waiting for me back at home. No Friends since I was homeschooled ever since preschool, No friends meaning no romantic relationships, simply nothing to go back to.



It might sound sad and lonely, but I actually find it peaceful and not that big of a deal. So, I guess that's just a convenience to me, who moves more than I should.

It has been hours since our drive from Seoul to busan. But finally, we arrived at our destination. When we pulled up right in front of the house, the first thing I noticed was the odd feeling I felt from the house. It seemed so gloomy, blunt, and kinda.....Dead.



Now my real question is, Of all the many houses to pick from Why the hell would they pick this? And not just that, why in busan? A province? We were already living just fine in Seoul, so why would we move all the way here? Especially in this creepy looking house?



By the time I looked away from outside the window, It was then when I realized that my sister had been trying to get my attention for awhile now.



"Jeongyeon!" She said probably for the 5th time. I faced her with a Blank daze. "Huh?" I said out of it. She looked at me in disbelief and scoffed.



"Didn't you hear me at all? I kept on telling you to get out of the car" she explained confused with my actions. Even I was weirded out by my own self, did I really space out that long?



Weird.



"Sorry, I was a bit out of it. Let's get inside" I apologized getting out of the car. She squinted her eyes at me one last time before following me towards the said house.




"You don't often space out, in fact you dont space out at all. Are you sure you're okay?" She said concerned whilst trailing behind me. I stopped by the open doorway and faced her with an assuring smile.




"Yeah, I'm fine. Must be the long drive to get here" I explained before turning on my heel, letting myself in. When I went inside, my nose was immediately filled with the cent of old wood and mold. As expected from a vintage house, Not even the least baffled. And yet, I still can't understand why we'll live here.



'Damn, I hope we move to another place again. As soon as possible, might I add'



Those were the thoughts I had before going up stairs to find a decent bedroom to stay in. Nothing as odd as I thought about this house happened in my first time staying here, so I just carried on like how I would on a normal basis.


So putting my luggage aside, I went straight to the bathroom to get ready for bed. After doing so, I jumped into bed as my eyes slowly grew heavy.



Maybe I judged this place too early.



Maybe it's not so bad after all....


Or Maybe that's what I thought.

Too short, too plain, probably boring as well. I'm very sorry, but please bare with me.


Edit 6-4-20: Decided to edit it up a bit to make it a bit more presenting, since I wrote this more than a year ago, and I've  grown over the course of that time. I'd like to work on it more and make it as smooth as possible, it's the least I could do. Luv u lots😚
