Chapter 1

Yeona's POV

"Yeona-ah! Wake up. It's already time to leave. " I heard mom downstairs.

I didn't budge a little. I heard footsteps on stairs.

"Yeona, are you awake now? " Mom came in. I didn't feel like replying.

"Wake up. It's already 7 am. We have to catch the plane. " Mom shook me.

"Have you already packed your things? " She continued.

"Uhm." I replied lazily.

She pulled the blanket away. I coiled like a worm feeling the cold wind on my bare skin.

"Okay. I'm awake. " I pulled the blanket over.

"This girl. Do you want to miss the flight? " She scolded.

"Yes. I don't wanna leave Busan and go to Seoul. " I sat up pouting.

"Well. You already know I have work there. I also don't want to leave. " She patted my head.

"Since you have already woke up, go and wash yourself. " She left the room.

I did my morning routine and went downstairs with my suitcase which I packed yesterday night. To be honest, I'm excited to see Seoul but I'll be feeling a bit alienated in the new city even though I don't have a clear memory of anything. Mom and Busan (my hometown) is still a stranger to me.

"Mom, can I help you? " I walked into the kitchen where she is packing things.

While she is busy doing that, I laid the breakfast on the dining table.

"Mom, let's have breakfast first. " She came and sat down.

We had breakfast and packed all the things and left for the airport.

During the trip, I had all kinds of things going on my mind.

"Will I have friends to rely on? "

"How will Seoul be like? "

"How was my past like? "

"How did I turn out this way with no memories? "

"Was I alone when the accident occurred?"

I sighed to that last thought.

"What happened? Is something bothering you? " Mom asked rubbing my hand.

"No. It's nothing." I replied with a smile because I know she won't tell me the truth. I've tried before. Whenever I asked about my dad, she would twist the topic. So I knew something is there. I'm trying to recall my memories so I didn't want to leave Busan because I get the feeling that I'll find something there but I had no luck.

We reached our destination and rode to our villa. It was not that huge but charming. We walked inside.

"Your room is upstairs. " She pointed.

I smiled and went up with my belongings. It was clean. I filled the closet with my clothes. I fixed the room and went downstairs to help mom. I arranged the kitchen. After I finished everything, I sat on the couch in the living room. Mom came and sat beside me.

"Do you wanna go out? " She asked.

"Can we? " I felt excited.

"Uhm... " She nodded with a smile.

I jumped with joy and hugged her. She went inside. She held a key. Something like car keys. We went out the house together.

"We have a car? " I asked with curiosity.

"Yes." I saw it was parked in the garage.

"I'll be riding then. " I demanded. She just laughed at me.

I took the key and we sat on the front row and I drove according to the GPS.

"Let's park here. " Mom suggested.

She went down and I just followed her.

"Mom, is it your first time here? " I asked intentionally. Of course, I knew it was not.

"Maybe no. We were here earlier. Four of us. Together with your dad and Ji---" She just paused.

"Mom? " I called. What did she mean by four of us? Do I have a sibling? Am I the younger one or the elder one? Is my sibling a brother or sister?

"A... Are you hungry? " Her smile was a fake one.

"Uhm..." I just let it slide. I have things I really want to know. Everything I knew. Memories to recall.

We had meals in the café. We went around the streets and time passed as we checked through all kinds of shop. I bought some stationary accessories and room decorations.

"Mom, where am I studying? "

"Ah! About that, I'll give you the information tomorrow. "

"Why not now? "

"Because you are going to the university for filling your acceptance form. "

"You already registered? "

"Yes."

"I hope I can make some friends and great memories. " I murmured.

"Come. It's getting dark. We need some materials for dinner. "

Mom was trying hard for me. I know that. She wants me to be happy.

* * * * * * *

We returned and did all kinds of household chores. I also decorated my room making it better than before. I want to keep my hopes alive no matter what. I'll try my best.

"Yeona, here. It's about the university. You better fill it up for tomorrow. You should report there by 9am. " She handed me a prospectus and a form.

"Take a rest. " She pecked my cheeks.

"Okay. Good night, mom. " I did the same.

* * * * * * *

I was really excited so I woke up a bit early and did my morning chores. I went downstairs after dressing up. As expected, my mom already prepared breakfast.

"Good Morning, mom. " I back hugged her.

"Good Morning, dear. "

"You seem excited to attend the university. "

"Of course. Why not? I really want to try new things. "

"Do you have the application form? "

"Yes."

"You have to get there before 9 am so finish your breakfast. " She kept them on the table.

~ Time skips ~

The university seemed so prestigious. I think I'm already lost. I'm very bad with direction. Most of the students here looked elite.

"Excuse me. Where is the office? " I asked to someone who was standing in front of the notice board.

"Oh! How can I help you? Are you new here? "

"Yes. Can you help me with the direction to the office? "

"Sure! Follow me. " I just did as he said. He was a bright one.

Knock knock ~

"Excuse us, Sir. "

"Oh, come in. "

"You can go in. " He whispered.

"Thanks." I bowed down.

~ Time skips ~

I finished my paper work like registration so I headed for my first period which is Life Sciences. I took the center row, the center column.

It may seem weird at how I am still doing good in studies as far as taking sciences. It just interest me so, I'm gonna work hard.

After the class ended, I wandered around the university campus enjoying the environment.

I went to library, garden, rooftop, places I like.
