Secret of the Day
So, I was discriminated against and teased in American schools.
My mother supported me, and thanks to her, I was able to graduate from elementary school, which was difficult, with a scholarship.
“Mom, I have something to tell you.
there is)"
“What’s the matter?”
“I want to go back to Korea.”
“What...? (What did you say...?)”
“I want to go back to Korea.”
“Why?(왜?)”
“Korea is my hometown.”
“Oh...Okay... You’ll come back someday, right?
(Oh... I see... You'll come back sometime, right?)”
“Of course! I’m sure~”
I had to leave this place I had grown attached to.
For the first time, I left of my own free will.

“Good bye. See you next time.”
“Yes, mom. I’m going to miss you.”
We said our eternal farewell, not knowing if we would meet again.

“Aunt, I’m here.”
“What? Really...is this really the Seol-yoon I know? Huh?”
“Yes, that’s the Seol-yoon that my aunt knows.”
“Why are you so skinny... You need to eat well...”
“I ate so much!”
“Phew... Okay, okay, sit down and eat.”
“Yes”
Drumroll drumroll
“......”
“...”
"I..."
"I..."
“Oh, you speak first!”
“Oh, yeah, okay.”
“Are you hurt?”
“Yeah lol, are you asking that?”
“What...haha”
“What were you trying to say, Yooni?”
“Ah... Auntie”
"huh?"
“Aunt, aren’t you curious why I came back here?”
“Huh? I wonder~ Why did you come here?”
“Chi... I came here because I missed my aunt...”
“What good is an aunt who doesn’t have any money~ㅋㅋㅋ”
“I have the money.”
“Where is your money~”
“There is...”
“Auntie, I received a scholarship when I graduated from American elementary school?”
“What? Really?”
"huh"
“Smile-] You’re so handsome, our Yoon...”
“Under an aunt who doesn’t know anything.”
“Ah, Auntie!”
“I told you not to lower my self-esteem.”
“My aunt is the coolest to me.”
“Thank you for even saying that.”
“It’s not an empty promise.”
“Okay, okay haha”
“Ah~ It’s nice to have a meal together after a long time.”
“I bought some foreign movies you like, so watch them.”
"Wow, really? Why did you buy it when you don't even have money..."
“Okay, I bought it for you, so don’t waste your money and just watch it a lot.”
“Of course”
.

“Auntie, you’re really funny.”
“I knew it lol”
“I’ll look back on it for the rest of my life.”
“I’ll buy you more when I have money.”
“This one is enough lol”
“Then don’t~”
“Oh, just buy it lol”
“I knew it would be like this~?”
“My aunt knows me so well.”
“Really? Thanks.”
“Yes, I had something to say.”
“What is it?”
“Now that middle school is starting, I have to go back.”
“I looked into transferring to a new school...”
“I looked into it...?”
“Only the more well-off people go there.”
“Like rich kids...?”
"huh..."
“But my aunt’s friend said that you seem to have a talent for studying and that she would support you.”
“But they don’t normally accept transfer students, but my aunt’s friend is close with the principal, so she said she would understand.”
“Want to go there once...?”
“Does Aunt want me to go?”
“Huh...? Aunt, it would be nice if you went to a good school~ㅎ”
“...um...then I’ll go.”
“Thank you.”
“Sigh-] What are you talking about~ Hurry up and think of a way to dress me up so I don’t die there.”
"That's fine"
"huh?"
“You sent me something from your house in America.”
“I heard you carried a lot of expensive stuff.”
“Ah... haha tell him I said thank you.”
"Okay, okay"

The next day
Principal's Office_
"hello"
“Oh, hello~ You’re that Seol-yoon? Nice to meet you. I’m the principal of this school. Haha.”
"Ah...yes...! Hello, I'm Seol-yoon. Please call me Yoon."
“Okay, okay, if you transfer to our school, there will be strong opposition from the parents of other students. Is that okay...?”
“Oh, yes...”
“So... would it be okay if I took a test to show off your skills in front of your parents?”
“Just a simple problem I had in my second year of middle school.”
“Ah... I’m not very good at it...”
“What are you talking about~? I heard you were good at it~”
“No, I don’t like being in front of people.”
“I’m scared just looking into people’s eyes.”
“Then it’s okay if you can’t do it. Just do as much as you can.”
“...I’ll give it a try.”
Looking back, this challenge might have been good,
It might have been bad
ㅡㅡㅡ
It's been so long...🥺
On the other hand, it takes quite a while to write, but I'm busy these daysㅜ
Still, I try to write whenever I have time.
