The first day here in Korea has been alright to Chan. He had to firstly find a place for his stuff he had so much. He takes out all his books and put them on his shelves and puts his most black clothes on his big closet room.
I am really getting lonely in this big room already. Chan sighs and gets on his bed and looks at his phone. His grandmother send a text for him saying that he should rest little before working his ass of.
He is going to miss her so much. She was always so kind to him and made sure I had my opinions on things. She would comfort him when he had some bad times, but of most of he kept for himself. He didn't want to drown his grandma with his worries.
He walks away from his bed to his desk to study his Korean little better. Chan isn't bad at Korean but not that perfect. He would always remind himself that his parents wants him to have perfect on the subjects.
He takes his pen and starts doodling some random words in hangul. As Chan got tired of it. He slowly starts writing some random poems that slowly turns into lyrics he could use. He got distracted again but he didn't stop writing more.
He feels finally little alive in a while. Writing ideas that just keeps coming out of his mind and heart. Not only from his body and brain. He feels nice using his time on something else than studying.
The clock on the wall just ticks and ticks as the time passes. Chan finally decides to stop after all that 'studying' His stomach is screaming for food. He exits his room to the kitchen little getting lost where the kitchen is. He walks to the fridge and notices that there is a small note.
He takes a closer look and see that they left a note that they will be gone for a long time and will be back tomorrow morning. Great. I can be little free tonight. Chan thought about the idea for exploring the town little. He won't be gone too long, just little walking here and there and going to the store to buy some snack for the night.
Chan quickly runs to his room to pick up his phone and some cash that he changed in the airport if he wanted to buy something today. He takes his leather jacket and his black cap and runs the halls to the door.
He is going to spend his night without worries about his parents. He didn't think that he could have this much of time spending alone not with his parents nagging at him. Chan puts his shoes on and takes the keys and locks the door behind him.
First breath of his freedom felt little good. He lowers his cap and start walking to somewhere. He saw a little park on his way here so why not going there first. There was this small store also. The sky has already settled and there is slightly stars in the sky.
He takes his phone out and plugs his earphones to listen some songs he likes to listen on his free time. The street lights dimly show their way to the park. The park looks some what lonely to his eyes but that means he is going to have his alone time outside of his room for once.
As he gets closer to the park to more hungry he got. The teen decides to stop by to store he sees and then go swinging on the swings. The store looks really bright and It's all covered in text that Chan didn't want to read so clearly so he ignored them.
He walks inside and sees that there are so many different king of snacks he didn't have back in Australia. He wonders the snack section and decides then to buy couple of candy bags and a small soda bottle. After paying his little snacks he can continue his walk to the park.
After wondering how the candies would taste Chan finally opens one bag and takes a small bite. Not bad, they are pretty good. Chan was little surprised that the candies tasted similar like back in Australia. There isn't much of people outside here. I thought there would be more people here.
As the steps gets closer to the park, Chan's mind keeps storming and storming his thoughts. He thinks if he should keep his profile low about his wealth or not making friends at all. Or he could pretend to look all scary like back in then.
I think that option about being scary and not letting anyone near me would be a good answer. They always to be my friends because of my wealth. People are always so greedy with money right? I look up away from the ground at the park and notice there is someone else sitting at the swings.
He doesn't look like he is with someone. He swings so slowly. I look closely at this certain person and notice his ginger hair color first then at his clothing. Oversized yellow hoodie and ripped skinny jeans. His backpack is laying next to the swings legs. It's none of business what he is doing here, so I am going to ignore him and go to the swing next to him. Chan thought to himself.
As Chan passes the stranger he takes a quick look at the boys face. His face is covered is some bud and his clothes are little buddy. Chan didn't notice those stains back there. He has some beautiful freckles too. He doesn't seem to be from here too. Chan sits down next to this stranger.
It's all quiet. Only swings chains hitting the wind and the breathing of the both people. Chan's mind is puzzled by all of this. A stranger covered in stains and all dirty but also that he just keeps looking at the ground.
"Uhm, You don't like you're from here. Is everything okay?" Chan asks in Korean and looks at the person next to him. Should've he asked in English?
"Sorry, but I didn't understand much what you said..." His voice was so deep but so quiet. So he is from somewhere else. His face doesn't match so much with his deep voice. Chan looks up and then back at the kid.
"Don't worry. I am not from here too. We can talk in English if there is something bothering you." Chan says in some regrets on his words. He thought that he shouldn't be making friends in here and look what he is doing. Talking to a stranger about what is bothering him.
"It's just... I am new here and and I am struggling with my Korea... I promised to my parents that I will use my education money wisely... but I ended up almost spending all of them... 'cause 'cause I didn't know that it would be so expensive to study... Now I am I am staying at some small apartment and having part time jobs to pay my education and my rent.... I get bullied at school 'cause of my poor Korean and I don't have time to study it enough."
Chan is shocked by the information he just got so quickly that he doesn't understand what to do. So he takes his other earplug and hands to it to the stranger. Chan mouths take it and shows put it on your ear. The other seems little confused about the sudden action.
"Don't worry too much. It will in the end pay you back that hard work of yours." Chan says and looks at the boy next to him. The boy puts the earplug on his right ear and listens to the melody. Little did the boy know that Chan was listening his own made songs that he hasn't released yet.
The songs that Chan makes are kinda sad but the lyrics are cheerful about life. Chan turns to look at the boy who listens the songs closely. He has his eyes shut and Chan wonders should he let him in?
"This singer is really good, and the songs are good too. You know that you really are good at making me think other things." He says somewhat cheerfully. Well that was fast. Put his face is still looking all this sad after all.
"Well if these could make you little happy. I need to go before they notice I am gone." Chan tries to excuse himself out of this awkward situation. He gives his candy bag to the other boy and walks away.
Leaving Felix behind with a bag of candies.
