"Like 100 percent? I want to tell you something."

He nodded with a small smile.

I let him into the house. We took off our shoes and jackets. I wanted to go with him to the living room.

"Go get ready for bed, don't worry about me, I can wait, but make yourself a little more comfortable", he said.

I nodded.

That was a good idea.

I needed to shower.

I felt disgusting.

I showed him the living room, he sat down and madenhimself comfortable.
Then, I went to my bathroom to take a shower.

And I took a long shower.

A very long shower.

I showered for over an hour.

I totally forgot that Hyunjin was waiting for me in the living room.

But I needed to get clean.

After that, I changed into some clean and comfortable clothes.

I went back to the living room.

Hyunjin smiled at me, when I came in.

„Do you feel better now?", he asked.

I nodded.

I sat down next to him.

"You look really pretty without make up", he said, smiling widely.

"It's not like I wear that much make up."

"Yeah, and I just see this now. I couldn't knew that, many girls are cheating, but you are naturally pretty."

Aw. That was cute. I smiled a little bit.
"Hey, don't call it cheating just because other girls like to put on make up, that's not really feminist of you."

"Yeah, sorry. You look naturally pretty. That's what I wanted to say", he smiles.

I didn't knew that he could be that nice.

"You wanted to tell me something?", he asked carefully, he didn't wanted to push me to say something.

There was a silence between us for a few moments.

"Okay", I inhaled after I tought a little bit about that. I will tell him.

Now.

Then I started explaining.

"So, you know, I lived in America for four years.

I moved to Chicago my first year in middle school. And I think that my middle school years were the best ones.

I loved it. I really liked Chicago, I had a lot of friends.

At first, it was a little bit weird, I was the new kid from Korea that didn't spoke English that
well.

But all the kids were so nice and liked me and I could make friends very fast.

I was a very nice and happy kid back then. With my new friends, I quickly learned English, I got better and better.

But this time of my life was just perfect. I never had that much fun I was just happy. Like, really, really happy.

And I tought, when highschool started, things would get better.
I would be older and I could do more things.

And my my freshman year started.

And like, it was American High school. I was quiet popular and the boys liked me.

So I started dating someone.
I already dated before, some guys in middle school, butI knew that you couldn't take that very serious.

And the guys in middle school were so immature, and it was like that all changed when I went to Highschool.

My new boyfriend was a sophomore, he was one year older than me.
He was a tall and handsome guy.
Many of my friends had a crush on him. But I was the lucky one to be his girlfriend.

And when Highschool started, I wasn't the good girl anymore, like I was before.

I started to drink and go to partys.
My grades started to drop too.

I was still nice and happy, I enjoyed my life, but like, not that legal anymore.
