He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?"

His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall.

Min-ji grew up in a broken home - parents who fought more than they loved, bottles that never left the table, and debts that buried her deeper every day. Eventually, the weight of it all pushed her to the edge. She was going to do it. Standing on the rooftop, she stared down at the lively streets below, her heartbeat the only sound she could hear.

She was never supposed to come back... At least, that's what her parents believed. They erased her, as if she had never existed. But her older brothers never forgot her. They searched tirelessly, until they finally found her - and now she is dragged back across the ocean, forced to leave her friends behind and step into a house built on lies and fury. Parents who still despise her. Brothers who would give anything to protect her. All rights protected.

But my story has it's own twists and turns that I would like to protect. Thank you for listening everyone. If you would like to borrow ideas, please ask for permission first.
