Chapter 1

"Seo Hyeon PoV"

"Unnie I want that candy." The little girl point to the candy beside me. I smile to her before handing two pieces of the candy she want.

I scan the whole place were I volunteered as one of the helpers of a charity. The Give Hope is giving help this year for children who abandoned by their parents.

I stop for the second when my phone vibrate in my pocket. I answer the phone when I see who's calling.

"Umma?"I hear lots of people talking in the background so I check again if I mistaken. But I was right it's mother.

"Umma?" I call her the second time. The background seems quite this time. "Seo hyeon-ahh" my mother call my name in a dramatic way.

I think I know what's my mother want this time. She want me to go home to meet some stranger who wants to merge with her. Hayss

"Are you in a party again?" I ask. I need to divert the topic because I dont want to go home.

"Ibeon juma-re beol-sseo kyehwehgi isseoyo?" And I think I didn't divert the topic. But I told her don't speak korean when I'm out of the country.

*/Do you already have plans for this weekend?/*

"I told you to speak english when I out of a country, Umma." I think she forget again. "Don't change the topic. I told you to go home this weekend. What are you doing in that country?"she said angry. I feel like she furious in other line.

Yeah, she told me last week but I don't feel like going. I really want to stay here and help the kids who don't have home. I don't feel like going home thinking about this kids nothing to eat.

"Are you still listening? Seo Hyeon!!" I came back to my sence when I hear her shout my name."Umma I told you even I'm with you they will not like me."  Because that's the truth maybe I have status in life but I have things in life that I don't have.

My parents are both in business other company wanted to merge with them and my mother wants me marry one of her business partners son. At first I really don't care about mom fixing my marriage but when I'm the right age I think it's not right. Marrying for the business.

I really dont want to go home because I feel a shame when I'm with them. My parent's are really good looking. My father is a korean and my mother is american. That's make myself mix-blood. But that's not what I shame of.
I'm fat not that fat but not skinny either that's why the son of my parent's partners just don't want a fix marriage with me. Funny thing is the next morning their engaged with other company who's have beautiful and skinny daughter.

So I chose to stay here in US to forget my insecurity. But sometimes people can't help but to see my imperfections. That's why I always volunteer us one of the workers of Give Hope for kids better future. I don't want to see other kid bully by others. Every one has imperfections but in different ways.

"I'll give you less than a month to go home and if you don't I no other choice but to force you." She hang up after she said those.

Less than a month?

After the phone call with mom. I feel like my mood change so I sat on the corner of this room and just watch the kids laughter. When I was a kid I didn't remember if my laughter was that happy. But I'm glad to see a child laugh even in small things.

"Seo Hyeon?" Someone call my name from behind there I see Sister Genalyn the one who manage na The Give hope. I stan up and smile when I'm in front of her.
