My name is Ari Jung. I'm 17 years old and live with my two dads. I live a pretty normal life, or what i consider to be normal. I'm also in high school.
"Let's see what else can I say..."
I sat at my dest typing on my laptop. I was working on my first english project of the school year. The assignment was to write an essay about ourselves, and the teacher thought it would be a good way for me to introduce myself to the class.
I sighed, "Well guess I'm done for now."
I got up and walked downstairs. My dads were in the kitchen fixing dinner.
One of them looked up and smiled at me, "Hey sweetie, how's the project coming along?"
I smiled, "It's coming, thats for sure. So what's for dinner?"
My other dad looked up from the cutting board, which was covered in chopped pork, "We'll be having spicy pork bulgogi with rice and kimchi."
I nodded, "Need any help?"
I loved to help my dads in the kitchen.
The both shook their heads. I nodded and said a swift 'ok' before heading back to my room. I had to finish that essay. I sat back at my desk and powered on my laptop again.
I just moved here from Korea, and I love to cook. I have a hard time speaking english but I'm getting better, or atleast that's what my dads tell me.
I paused for a moment and thought about what to type next. I hesitated before typing,
Like my dad's I'm gay-well technically lesbian.
I finished my essay before being called down for dinner by my dad.
I sat at the table after my dads were seated.
"Jalmukesumneda.[1]" I spoke.
They smiled and picked up their chopsticks and began to eat, as did I."
After we all finished i sat my chopsticks down. I stood after saying, "Masegaemugusuyo.[2]"
I picked up most of the dishes and went to the kitchen and washed them, and put them into the drying rack as my dads came into the kitchen and did the same with what was left of the dishes.
I told them i was going back to my room before I left the kitchen.
When i got back to my room i grabbed my phone and looked at it. I had a text from one of my new friends. She had asked to FaceTime me.
I replied with a yes and immediately after it was sent I got a call.
"Hey Ari!" She smiled brightly.
I smiled, "Hey Emma."
Emma chatted on for a few minutes about the project before asking if she could come over sometime.
"Eh, I'm not sure, I'd have to ask my dad."
I rubbed the back of my head.
"Well do it! I really want to come meet your family and learn more about your culture!"
Emma had always loved korean food and culture, she knew quite a lot about it actually.
I smiled and sighed, "Okay, I'll ask them now."
She hopped around on her end in joy.
"But do know they'll want to meet your parents."
She nodded.
I walked downstairs with my phone in my hands, "Dad? Dad?"
They both looked at me, "Yes, hun?" They said in unison.
"I was wondering if Emma could come over, She's my new friend I was telling you about." They looked at each other before nodding in agreement.
"Of course, sweetie, we just need to meet her parents."
"Sweet, I'll tell my mom and dad!"
Emma spoke.
I smiled, "Thanks dad."
I looked back down at my phone, "So when do you want to come over?"
There was no sound for a moment before Emma spoke, "Mom says she can meet with you tomorrow at 3. Is that alright?"
My dads nodded, "We can meet then, Ari will text you the address and you guys can have dinner with us if they please."
Emma smiled, "I'll tell them, see you at school tomorrow Ari!"
"Bye Emma."
And with that the call ended.
🏳️🌈Time skip🏳️🌈
I looked at the clock, It was almost 1. I was so nervous about the meeting today, I had no clue if Emma's parents were okay, or even knew that I had two dad, not that it mattered if they were okay with it.
Emma tapped my shoulder and passed me a note,
Hey If your nervous, don't be, my parents are pretty chill about most things so I wouldnt be to worried about the meeting today, btw, what'd you make on the homework?
I smiled and folded the paper up, I wrote on a small peice of paper,
I know, you've already told me that but I still can't help but worry, and I made a 85 on it.
I passed the paper to her.
And this is where I'm gonna end the story, there are two words in korean up there, but if i translate wrong, pless correct me.
1: I will eat well
2: I ate well
Total word count: 808
