Trials

You know when someone you're related to dies and everyone says, "I am sorry for your loss," and "They're in a better place now"? Velda never thought that it would be something she would prefer hearing in a conversation. But when they got in a car accident and her mother, Naein, died, she was not expecting to see a social worker. She didn't have any family and Vel and Naein had only been in North Carolina for three days after finally finding a way to escape from Nae-ins abusive boyfriend. "My name is Rale, I am a social worker, yours, to be precise. Since you are only fifteen, you will now go live with your father. You have three hours before a truck comes to your house to get your belongings and ship them. Five hours until I come to pick you up and take you to your flight. Do you know Korean? Your file said you were multilingual... see you then, be ready."
Now, this would have been logical if Vel had actually known who her father was or where he was. Yes, she knows Korean, it is her fourth language, but now she has to go to Korea to meet someone she has never even heard of? Something is bound to happen and all she knows, it that people in her life, will not be affected well.
