Prologue

"Are you sure about this?" She says ever so calmly and yet, I can still hear the tremors of her voice.

"Even if I'm not, I've got to do this. I'm not turning back." Determination firm in my being.

"This is so absurd..you've never even been to different city alone! This is Seoul we're talking about! Not your friend's house few streets away-"

"Mom." I cut her off, voice strained while I feel warm liquid pouring down my cheeks.

"You did too. Left your house with an unknown man, into an unknown city and had me, all while being my age. I'll be fine. I promise."

I go forward and give her one big hug, felt like the last one.

Well it kinda is. Why? I'm running away. From what? I'll reveal that later. For now..

Let's focus on what's ahead. My dream job, my escape and many more adventures.

And I'll be damned if something, or someone, holds me back from building my 20's less regretful.
