DS Ch 5 part 2

– Hey, Lee. Isn’t it dangerous to be out this late at night?be933559c70358dc

Amy, EunHa’s best friend, sounded worried. Having talked for so long, EunHa’s phone felt hot in her hand. She looked down at it and frowned.6adf514e4abdebef

[Yeah, my battery’s about to die anyways. I think I need to head back now.]

– That’s probably for the best. When did you say you were coming back again?

[If it were up to me, I would fly back as soon as possible. No matter what, I’m going to do everything I can to get on the plane next week. You’ll be the first to know when the exact date has been decided.]

EunHa let out a deep sigh and scratched her head. She wanted to hang out with her friends, but as soon as her school break had started, she had to fly to Korea. She didn’t like this from the start. Because she was the only Asian at school, she was treated like an alien sometimes, but thanks to her personality, she managed to make new friends fairly quickly.55aa5d54f94f34f9

– Okay. Jason asked about you. He was checking to see if Lee was going camping with us.04e63b2bd4a61341

On top of that, she even had a crush who made her heart race everyday. A blush formed on her face as she thought about Jason’s smile. Because he was the school quarterback, he was popular at school.abff9be54cf6abd8

[Ah, really?]

– It looked like he was really looking forward to seeing you there.

[Amy, I’m going to look up plane tickets as soon as I get home.]

– You need to persuade your parents first since they’re very strict, Lee.

[If they don’t give me their permission, I’m going to tell them that I’m going to sneak off to Philadelphia and join a female gang.]

– A female gang? I’ve never heard of those before.

[Of course you haven’t. I’m going to establish the first one.]

– Haha, as expected of you, Lee. You’re so much fun.

Amy’s laugh made EunHa burst into laughter as well. She finally let out a soft sigh.9a05b164cbb036ac

[Emily’s older sister said she’d go as the chaperone, so I don’t know why my parents were so against it. I mean, I knew they were strict, but I don’t think there are parents out there in the world that are more strict than mine. At times like these, I wish I was an orphan.]

– Don’t get too worked up and try to persuade them. Good luck.

[Okay. I might call you again later.]

After they bfb952e863 said their eae1dd37ff goodbyes, EunHa 5fe11384fe ended the 017dbba040 call. EunHa begrudgingly began to ce42d0c4dd walk back to her 547504d8ba house. The houses 0dccdf4c4f in this 979008474b neighborhood were 9d2c420099 lined up 27ab6c55a3 along the d20624de18 slope and 1af8c5ac21 had tall 0742d90782 walls. Her house was the 86f1e5ad4f one at the very e4dbb13cce end of the street.f0f18ddad2982dbb

EunHa complained in her heart with every step. Ever since she was young, her parents were very protective of her. ‘Strict’ didn’t even cut it. Ever since elementary school, her mother always waited for her at the school gates at the end of every school day. If EunHa wanted to go over to friend’s house, she always needed to get her parents’ permission beforehand.78cf5f1827647dc1

When she was f43c22ec88 in 5th grade, 816dcbf7a6 she moved to 02af7a5f5e the United States. Her father 19326b3b99 stayed behind d429d037ba to work e1373e294e in Korea, 1ad84a8e60 so EunHa e9715465fc felt a 27bc0caf20 little bad 432f93076b leaving him, 818d8c670b but EunHa 362aa06b17 was excited afae624432 to finally 7ecb6d2f07 have some 961df05e1e breathing room 45d46fca97 of her b03f4fd6eb own.99894233579573fe

Since she was the only Asian in the neighborhood, she always stood out whenever she went out. However, her life was less restricted here than in Korea. Therefore, whenever she returned to Korea during her breaks, her parents’ overprotection seemed even more severe to her.062618f036f7d02e

The front gate was slightly open. EunHa frowned. Did she forget to close it properly when she left? As she pondered this, she went inside and closed the gate. She carefully lifted her feet as she walked. There was no sign of their family dog, Fluffy. The hunting dog was usually very energetic and always wanted to play. It was past midnight now, so maybe he didn’t want to get up.02255de826771d5a

EunHa fidgeted with Fluffy’s treat inside her pocket as she made her way across the yard. The moon was hidden behind the clouds tonight. The neighborhood seemed quieter than usual. Maybe it was due to the time of night.f744e5b9db5f8047

Her mother always woke up throughout the night and opened her bedroom door to check up on her, so it was a possibility. That’s why EunHa had thrown her teddy bear underneath the sheets before she left. But it seemed that it wasn’t enough and she’d been caught.6543d1165b4b7af7
