The Promise : Part 1

 SOUTH KOREA; March 15, 2024; 6:07 AM

"Watch out!" the foreigner screamed in English at the dark haired male.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N's POV:

Your probably wondering how a foreigner came to Korea. It all started about a week before the schools in USA closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USA; Y/N's High School; Lunch B

"Why do you have Korean written on your wrist?", asked the red haired student to her best friend Leila. "Oh, well I thought I should learn a new language besides Spanish." 

The dark brown haired student was a mix of many ethnicities, but her dad was mainly Hispanic. She was used to speaking/learning Spanish in the home, and wanted a new challenge. 

The red haired student had recognized it do to the fact that she not only was obsessed with Asian cultures, but also a big k-pop stan.

"Korea is a really beautiful place," Leila explained. Y/n had noticed that Leila had been recently really into living spaces, scenery, and architecture. 

"I'm probably going to live there some day," Leila sighed remembering the beautiful scenery she had seen in pictures. 

"Really, well I have always really like Japan so I'm going to move there, but I also really like Korea and Asian culture in general. I have already learned enough Korean to understand someones conversation. However I'm not really good at speaking it yet," Y/n sighed.

"At first I was going to learn Chinese but their are so many different dialects, and in Japanese there are just to many symbols. So in the end I decided to learn Korean. There are still multiple dialects in Korean but not as many," Leila explained. 

Her red haired friend had strongly agreed, except she thought that Japanese wouldn't be to hard for her to learn. Especially because Y/n was very analytical, and was very passionate about going to Japan.

"Hey when I move to Korea you should come visit me." "Sure," Y/n replied. Leila gasped, "Or even better you should come live with me." Leila beamed, but Y/n was hesitant. Move to Korea?Move in with Leila, sure that was an easy answer(YES), but move to Korea?

Being a K-pop stan Y/n had sure thought about it before. She had fun imagining how she might meet her idols. Though she knew it was unlikely. She thought about J-pop because she had always wanted to work on the stage. 

Sing, acting, dancing, performing, it was all part of her dream. She new that she probably would like to perform as a J-pop member rather than in K-pop. Korean standards were just to strict for her. 

Y/n had realized, during her high school career, that she had a extreme passion for dance. It was a way the express herself, to relieve emotions physically without the possibility of accidentally hurting someone else. It was her plan,it was her future.

She also had a gift for math and learned great people skills from her parents. Her parents had always been worried about her, as she was not a normal kid. She was strong, and extremely smart. Though she didn't seem to recognize this herself, the older people around her all new she was a genius.

Even though she was a genius it was had for her to harness the gift of hers. You see she would have maybe skipped a grade or two if it wasn't for the fact that she had ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, this effected her and the people around her greatly.

She also has had anxiety and insomnia which was passed down by her maternal genes. Her mother loved her child dearly, but wished she could free her child from her(Y/N's) mental burdens. The family was very close, and love was spread pretty equally.

 Y/n trusted and cared very much for her friend. Leila had been their when she needed it most. Y/n paused making a decision, she turned and beamed back at her bestie. "I'd love that," Y/n said as they then embraced in a warm hug.

"I plan on being a foreign exchange student in Japan after senior year, but after that," Y/n explained. They linking their pinkie fingers together,"promise?" Leila asked. "Promise," Y/n said firmly. 

Soon after their moment the bell rang, they said goodbye and gave each other one more hug. They rushed off to their classes, which were on opposite sides of the school.

Author's Note:

High my lovelies. You might have noticed that this is my first ever book that I not only will be putting out into the world, but also my first ever story on wattpad. I have been writing stories for a while now, but never had the motivation to continue working on them. Or the confidence to post them. So I now present to you all, my writing. 

I often find that I will switch between past tense and present tense. For each chapter I will try to keep this to a minimum, however each chapter might have a different tense. I am sorry if this makes it harder for you to read. 

Please know that there might be mistakes in my writing. If you find incorrect spelling, grammar, or repeated words please comment and let me know. I would love some feed back as well, good or bad. I take constructive criticism well, so please feel free to comment. 

Thank you for reading. As always be safe, be happy, and be grateful for what you have. Love you all.
