Dust covers every surface, papers and letters addressed to the previous resident piled high. The air is stale, shafts of light bursting through gaps in the boarded up windows. The only occupants weave their webs between the spindles of the stair banisters and from the ceiling to the wall, old cobwebs billowing in the draft. The grim and gloomy building was the worst excuse for a house she had ever seen and now it belonged to her.

What a mess.

It was going to take weeks to get this place fixed up, maybe even months yet it was the only property in Gwangju that fell comfortably within her budget so she couldn't really grumble. It was her idea to move to Korea in the first place, she was the one who desperately wanted to challenge herself and have a complete change in career so when the national museum contacted her a week after her interview with the curator to offer the position as his assistant she jumped at the chance.

Then it was just a matter of breaking the news to her family that she was moving to an entirely different country and didn't plan on returning, that the next time they would probably see her would be a year later for Christmas.

"I don't understand, you've always loved your job at the hotel, what changed." Her mother said one evening over dinner, the two of them sitting out on the porch as the sun dipped below the horizon.

"I do enjoy it, the people are nice enough and the pay is decent but it's not challenging me. I want to do something different, want adventure and excitement. I've been studying Korean for four years now, I want to use it and this gives me the perfect opportunity."

"I can understand your desire to want adventure and excitement but to move there, to pack up your life here and take such a huge risk. I love you and you will always have my support but this isn't just moving to another city sweetheart, this is moving to another country where I can't always be there to protect you. I know you know the language, you've always been fascinated with the country so you're also familiar with some of their customs but it will still be a shock to you sweetheart, their way of life is vastly different to our own and you've always suffered with your anxiety and struggled to make friends."

"Mom please." Y/N sighed, setting down her cutlery. "I've done my research, already have my work visa sorted and my interview as you know was successful. I can speak, write and read the language proficiently. I just need to live in the country for five years then pass the interview and test. I know my mental health hasn't always been the best, my anxiety is a bitch too and yeah it isn't easy for me to make friends which is why I want to move. The people I work with are more acquaintances than actual friends and I'm still tragically single, I can't live here with you and dad forever either. I love you both, this isn't me wanting to be away from you, this is me wanting to do something with my life."
