8:00 am

I stayed up all night finishing homework, and looking at colleges. But I was looking into schools in South Korea. They are so much cheaper out there than in the U.S. Attending all four years of high school would be cheaper than one year in my school. We have our transfer trip this year, so I have the chance to go check out some of the schools there. Our trip is in three weeks, and they quit practice for the next two months. In my spare time I picked up a second job, and overtime at Shwina.

I drove over to Mei's house, and the girls got in.

"Have you decided where you're going?" Mei asked me.

"I'm going to Germany." Shelby said.

"I wasn't asking you ding bat." Mei looked at her.

"I was thinking about Shinhwa High in Yongsan-Gu, Seoul." I said.

"You said that like Korean was your first language." Shelby said.

"How does your mom feel about it?" Mei asked.

"I haven't told her."

We chit chatted about where we were going over our trip. The next few weeks was rough. I feel asleep in class a lot, and still hadn't told my mom about where I was going.

6:45 am

The trip was in a few hours, and I had all my stuff ready. My mom just didn't know where... Still. I got up, and put my bags in the car. I got ready to go, and was about the walk out the door when my mom stopped me.

"You didn't tell me where you are going." She said.

"I'm going to Shinhwa High in South Korea." I said looking at my phone.

"South Korea? Is this because of those stupid Chinese boys you were learning about?" She increasingly got angry.

"No, the prices are really cheap out there." I said.

"Oh yeah. Like I'd really believe that. How much to you have to pay for the six months you're going to school there?"

"All together including an apartment, food, clothes, enrollment, books, my ticket for me and my car, and gas for my car while I'm there... Around 20,000 dollars. Which I have 200,000 at the moment." I said happily.

"You are letting this stupid band take over your life in a bad way." She said.

"That's not why I'm going, mom." I said as I walked out the door.

I got to the airport a little early, so I checked my phone.

Mei: Have fun while you're there, and I must warn you.. Be careful.

Kay: Warn me of what?

Mei: Goo JunPyo.. He goes to school there with his group F4, and he owns the school. I suggest staying on his good side, or just stay away from him.

Kay: Alright. I'll keep that in mind.

Mei: Also, that school is in Yongsan-Gu, right?

Kay: Yeah, why?

Mei: That's where Bts lives! I wish I went there with you!

Kay: I doubt I'll see them anyway.

My flight was called, and I put my phone in my pocket. I took my luggage over to the belt, and put it on. It already had the tags on it, and all I had was my purse. I packed a couple snacks and a drink. My wallet had a couple dollars in there, but the rest of my money was on my card. I got on the plane, and looked out the window. I couldn't believe I was actually going to South Korea. And I was doing it by myself. I do kinda hope I run into Taehyung while I'm there, but hopes and dreams don't always come true.
