I looked in the box to see what else was in it. There was a plane ticket to Korea scheduled for tomorrow, a white camera, a multi-headed charger for a phone, and a English to Korean dictionary. They have prepared a lot just for a box to congratulate someone.
"Well since I'm going to Korea tomorrow I'm going to go pack" I said still in a daze. I cannot believe I'm going to Korea tomorrow to live with GOT7 for a year. I walked upstairs to start packing. I got to my room and went over to my closet and grabbed my 2 suit cases. One was blue with light purple stripes on it, the other was purple with blue polka-dots on it, they came as a pair. I started putting clothes I couldn't live without in it, some sweatshirts, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush. I packed my bags until I couldn't fit anything else and I had to sit on the lid to close it.
"You done packing?" I heard a husky male voice say. I looked up and it was my older brother Dominick. I nodded without making a sound. "Whats wrong, why do you look sad" He said walking into my room kneeling in front of me.
"I just don't know whether or not I want to leave home so soon. I mean I won't be able to see you guys for a year." I said on the verge of tears.
"You can skype us every night, morning, afternoon, what ever time you want, we will talk to you" He said hugging me.
"Really" I asked lifting my head. He nodded. "You are the best big brother ever" I hugged him even tighter than before.
"Night Bug" Dominick said getting up and walking out of my room closing the door behind himself. Domm called me Bug as a nickname because I used to love to read books on different bugs when I was little. The sun was setting by the time I was done packing and everything. I took a long time to decide what to take with me. When I was done I went to the kitchen to get myself some food. I ate dinner with my family for the last time. My flight would leave at 8am so I need to be at the airport at 5am meaning I need to be awake and moving at 3am. It was currently 8pm so I should go to bed now so I can have enough sleep tonight. I just went straight up to my room and plopped onto my bed and slept as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I heard a loud buzzing next to my ear. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a light. It was my phone going off at 2:45am. I turned off the alarm and sat up, I looked at Carla to see if she was awake. She slept soundly. So I walked out of my room and into the bathroom and took a nice warm shower. I came out and got dressed. I got into a plain black v-neck T-shirt, and light blue stone wash pre-cut jeans. I walked over to my bed and put a large light grey sweatshirt on over my clothes. I was a small person so the jacket looked like it was a boyfriends jacket, in reality I took it from Domm.
I walked out of my bedroom and into the hallway. I tip-toed over to Dominick's room, I opened his door and quietly walked in. I walked over to his bed and he was sleeping without any blankets. It may be early spring but dude it's still cold. I poked his face a couple of time and whispered his name to wake him up without waking the whole family at 3:05 in the morning. He groaned and rolled over. I raised an eyebrow and got on the edge of his bed and shook his arm. He woke up immediately and glared at me.
"You promised to drive me to the airport." I whispered "I thought you might want to eat something before we leave." He sat up and pushed me off his bed. I quietly giggled.
"Get out I'm going to change" He whispered to me half asleep "Unless you want to watch me change." I bolted out the door and shut it behind me. Weirdo. I walked into my room and grabbed my suit cases, cell phone, backpack, and my black vans that I planned to wear. I put my backpack on my back, cell in the front pocket of my sweatshirt, shoes at the top of the stairs, then tried to carry both my suit cases down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I ran back up the stairs and grabbed my shoes. I put all of my things near the door, but I kept my phone in my pocket. I walked through the rooms remembering all my most treasured memories in the house.
Domm walked down the stairs wearing his lucky red converse, plain jeans and a jacket. His hair was messy but he didn't plan to do anything but drive me to the airport and maybe a drive thru.
"Ready to go" I whispered. He nodded. "Okay then help me to the car." Together we carried my suit cases to the car, we put my stuff in the back seat since no one was sitting there. We drove to the airport in silence, mostly because he was tired and it was 4:30 in the morning. The sun has yet to start rising. We arrived at the airport a little earlier than I planned. We unloaded the car and he hugged me good bye, after he hugged me he grabbed my cheeks and kissed my forehead.
"I love you" He said.
"I love you too" I said "Take care of mom and Carla. Don't let them cry while I'm gone." He nodded. I hugged him for the last time for a while. I grabbed the handles on my suit cases and walked away, turning around to wave good bye every few feet. I walked in and got through security and bag check, and checked my bags in. I waved good bye to my bags. Then I walked to my gate and just sat down and played on my phone. The airport was almost empty. There were a few people at the gate with me, but no one was really here. I waited till 7:45, then they allowed us to board the plane. I grabbed my backpack and got on the plane. I found my seat. SCORE its a window seat. I sat down and made myself comfortable for a 14 hour flight.
When we took off I had my own seat, the two seats next to me were empty. About an hour into the flight I fell asleep. When I woke up we were about to land in Korea. Wow how did I sleep through all that. I apparently fell asleep with my feet on the edge of my chair and my head on my knees. I put my feet on the floor and sat back waiting till we landed. When I got off the plane I was so cramped from sleeping like that. I went to go claim my bags and walked out to the main part of the airport. This is where I needed that dictionary. I took the English to Korean dictionary out of my bag and looked around when I saw a group of 7 boys wearing sun glasses holding a sign with my full name on it in English. I recognized the boys quickly and realized it was GOT7.
I walked up to them, bowed and said "Hello I'm Alex King" in Korean. I knew very little Korean. I knew how to introduce myself and a couple of little things.
"You speak Korean" The rapper Jackson asked. I shook my head.
"I know very little Korean" I said back in English.
"Well come with us" He said as he walked away, the boys following them. I followed behind them wheeling my suitcases behind me.
[AN: I hope you guys like this as much as the Yugyeom one. I'm sorry it's so long and as another reminder I decided to Update the Yugyeom story every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And update my new Marrk story every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and leave open Sunday for rest and maybe an update of my choice that day. I just needed a break from the Yugyeom and get new ideas. :)]
