"Yuna wake up you idiot."

I feel someone slap my head that is currently resting on my desk. I groan and sit up and look at the giver of the slap.

"leave me alone Reina" i whine as she giggles at me

"you stayed up late last night watching kdramas didn't you?" I hear another voice to the left of me

"Astrid, I would love you more if you weren't always right," I exclaim to my other best friend as the pair laugh at me.

"Plus, it's not like you've watched Hwarang like seven times already..." Reina smirks mockingly counts on her fingers and looks over at me.

"I don't blame her; Taehyung looks amazing wearing a hanbok." Astrid says whilst leaning on her hands daydreaming about her 'husband' TTaehyung.

"If only Yoongi were to start acting, then I would watch his drama more than I've streamed daechwita.... and trust me, I have streamed it a lot," Reina states, making the three of us laugh.

*stream daechwita you cowards*

"You're so lucky you're Korean Yuna, you don't need to put subtitles on and you have more chances of dating our Oppas," Astrid says making me both cringe and laughs at the same time.

"never say that again oh my word!" I nearly yell, which causes Reina and Astrid to burst out laughing even more.

"Girls, be quiet!" our teacher yells making our ears turn slightly red and causing ourselves to look down and muffle our giggles. University students, yet still immature as ever.

The second the bell rings, we are all out of the classroom faster than Yoongi's rap in Agust D.

"What are you guys up to tonight, do you want to hang out?" I say, looking at no one in particular, just looking ahead of me as my two best friends walk either side of me.

"Ugh I wish I could, but my mum is making me look after my brother tonight, big sister things" Reina groans.

"Damn I wish I could too, but I have singing practice and my mom will kill me if I miss it." Astrid groans in the same way.

"Okay that's fine, we still on for the picnic on Saturday...?" I walk faster and turn around, so I am looking at both whilst walking backwards, I raise an eyebrow.

"Of course, omg, it's a tradition!" Reina smiles her beautiful smile'

"oh Yuna, bring your own blanket next time and Reina sweetie, do not bring the doughnuts you had last time. the seagulls enjoyed them more than we did." Astrid looks over at the both of us before we all burst out laughing.

We reach the gate and bid our farewells before splitting ways to go home.

"Hello, Miss. Kim." I bow to my driver, Hyunwoo. A not too old Korean man, probably late 50's with little white hairs coming from his sideburns. He has been in the family as a driver for as long as I can remember. He has been the most father-like figure in my life and I do love him.

"I thought mother was going to pick me up today... isn't she back from Korea?" I glance over at Hyunwoo as he opens the door of the expensive car for me

"She had some work to do, sorry kiddo."

"Don't worry I'm used to it by now."

Having CEO parents was never easy. I have seen my maid more than I have seen my own parents. You always feel left out, being an only child, you must find pleasure in doing things by yourself. Thankfully for me, my Korean genes did not fail me, and I have a huge liking for all things Korean, despite living in the US. Thank god I found Catherine and Astrid or else I would be so alone in this country.

I hear Hyunwoo sigh a little and close the car door once I am inside.

He climbs into the driver's seat and looks back at me.

"Yuna, I am sorry. I wish your mother would give you more time, but you know what it's like." he gives me an apologetic face

"Don't worry about my mother, I have you and my dramas I do not need anything else!" I smile

Hyunwoo chuckles and turns back to the wheel and starts to drive to our house.

Once we reach home, I get out and go straight to my room to work on my homework.

Hyunwoo sighs as he watches Yuna climb up the grand staircase to go to her room. He knows she wants nothing more than to escape from this world and be in her own perfect world. He knows its never been right for her even as a child.

Hyunwoo reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small white USB. It has Kim Yuna written on the side in purple glittery gel pen. He smiles down at the object and looks back at Yuna sluggishly climbing up the stairs.

"This is the least I could do to say thank you to her for always being so kind." He whispers to himself.

Before Yuna reaches the top of the staircase, Hyunwoo yells her name.

"Yuna, you dropped this!" The old man smiles at climbs up the stairs to give Yuna the USB.

Before she can ask what it is she was given, he starts walking down the stairs and into the maid's quarters.

Yuna chuckles to herself and proceeds to walk to her bedroom.

I flop down on my bed and reach for my laptop underneath my pillow. Once I grab it I open the screen and login. 

I start to work on my homework when something started to bother me.

How could I have dropped the USB without even having it in the first place??

I reach over my bed and pick up the white USB, as I stand up to return it to Hyunwoo thinking he made a mistake, something on it catches my eye. 

My name.

But not only my name.

On the back was written in more gel pen

'escape to hwarang'
