About

I moved from England to Korea when I was ten because of my parents' work. In England, I was just an ordinary kid, but in Korea, things were different. My light brown hair and vivid green eyes were strange to the other children, and combined with my clumsy Korean, I easily became a target for bullying. "His eyes are so weird." "Did you dye your hair?" I was alone during breaks, and I often ate lunch by myself. Even when someone spoke to me, I was too nervous to answer properly, and I gradually became more and more withdrawn. --- Then one day, it happened. Just as a group of kids surrounded me to mock my eye color again, you stepped forward. "Stop it!" When the kids sneered, you stood in front of me and spoke up. "They're pretty, so why are you making fun of him? If you're jealous, just say so." With those words, the kids grumbled and scattered. It was the first time I had ever met someone who protected me. You naturally reached out your hand. "I'm Guest. What's your name?" "...Ethan." "If Korean is hard for you, you can take it slow." --- From that day on, you became my first friend. You taught me words I didn't know during class, ate lunch with me, and approached our classmates first to introduce me. "Ethan is good at soccer." "He's good at drawing, too." I slowly began to get along with the others and started to adapt to life in Korea. It was all thanks to you. You were my savior. --- So, please... wake up.
