"I'll be back, I love you."
"Do you think you can adapt well?"
"Of course~ Who am I?"
"Okay. Have a nice trip~"
My mom waved at me. I waved back. Is this finally the start? I walked briskly to the airport. It was now 5:37 AM. Thirteen minutes before departure. Oh, I'm nervous.
I was selected as an exchange student this year and will be going to the US. What, I wonder if anything will happen? But I heard there's quite a bit of racism there. Oh, what should I do? Will I be okay? Hey, am I the only exchange student? Will I be okay? Will I be okay? Will I be okay? Ugh. I was wasting my time with random thoughts, and five minutes before departure, it was time to run.
"Haa... It's not too late..."
What the heck, when I got there, I realized I was in business class, not economy. What the heck? My mom wouldn't do that. Anyway, isn't this a good thing? The thought of leaving Korea made my heavy heart feel a little lighter. After I sat down, I sent my mom a text. "Mom, I'm on the plane. I love you. I'm going to miss you."
"Sir, you need to turn on airplane mode."
"Ah, yes yes. I'm sorry."
The flight attendant said, "Have a comfortable trip," and passed by my seat with a smile. Perhaps because it was business class, she seemed more friendly. (It was the same as economy.) Wow, the seats are nice and wide.
Looking out the window, I heard the takeoff announcement. Finally, we were taking off. Yoohoo, this is Choi Yujin's first time in the US! What if everyone hits on me because I'm so pretty?! What if I get a boyfriend on the first day of school?! (That won't happen.) With all these thoughts in my mind, I fell asleep less than 30 minutes after takeoff.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our flight will soon be..."
The landing announcement was heard. I slowly opened my eyes to find the hot sunlight beating down on me. Ugh, it's blinding. I washed my face dry and drank some cold water, and then I woke up abruptly. Then I looked out the window. It was America. I had arrived in America. Han Yu-jin, 18 years of living abroad for the first time!
