A little bit of a TMI about this story. I was contemplating in what country I'd set this in. While Korea might be a very obvious answer, I would like to show how it is in my country so I decided to set it in my own country, Philippines. I know, it's kind of unusual since the names are of different nationalities, but more than the name, I hope you'd pay more attention to the story and the message that I would like to convey. I will do my best in writing!
