The air was filled with noises from the people at the Incheon international airport and a sudden feeling of the past came flashing back like it was yesterday when Sarah first arrived in soeul all happy and excited but left due to the pains and suffering that it brought especially from the one she once love. she couldn't believe that even after five years, she would come back to the very same country where she vowed never to step foot in.
(sigh)'well here we are', Sarah said as she gave a faint smile to her daughter Ri ya, who also gave a bright smile.
They finally got a taxi and went off. as they passed by through the streets memories of the past came flashing back to Sarah.
*********************************
Five years ago, Sarah lee just arrived in soeul, she was so excited to study there and also meet up with her childhood friends. Sarah was an orphan, her mother was American while her father was Korean. she was ten years old when her father died and moved with her mother back to the U.S but her mother later died of stroke when she was twenty years old, after that she had to rely on herself and work to get through school before deciding to come back to Korea to further her studies.
'Hey Sarah' she turned and saw her childhood best friend Choi song young. they both gave a big hug to each other, 'how have you been?, I haven't seen you for ages' song young said with a big smile, 'am good and you what about uncle shin and hyun jun?', 'there are all fine, you look good by the way', 'thanks you too'. they both got a taxi and went off. (while in the car),' and sorry about your mom, I was at camp when I heard the news' song young said with sympathy, sarah replied,'its alright, she was a fighter even she couldn't defeat it '. they both let out a sigh, 'ok enough with the sad moment tell me about the university am so excited', as song young was about to speak a red flashy car bumped to them, both cars stop, the taxi driver came out the confront the red car driver, the taxi driver started yelling at the driver to come out from the car and settle the damage but to no avail, Sarah was getting so she steped out of the car and hit the car widow 'get out now, look at what you've done, hey come out now or else I ....' suddenly the door opened and a tall and fair figure came out, he had sharp and bright eyes, a pointed nose, a dering look, he was basically perfect. 'or else what's he said with an evil smirk on his face. song young was still sitting in the car and instantly recognize him, ' OH MY GOD, it's... I better stop Sarah before she does something' she ran towards Sarah and told her to forget it and just let it be but Sarah has always been a person who stands up for what is right and never back down from a fight. 'i'll make sure you pay for it, who do you think you are or just because you have a car doesn't mean you own the road, there are other people using it and this man over here (pointing at the taxi driver) is older than you so apologize to him now', that boy gave a faint smile and said 'for a girl you talk too much and I can't stand people like you, why do I need to apologize? you're car bumped into mine and I think you're the one who should pay but looking at you(he looked at her from up down) I don't think you can afford some proper clothes much less an expensive car like mine. but if you can't afford it, I can...
(slowly moving towards her, trying to touch her face) think of another way for you to pay'
Sarah could not tolerate it any longer, so she gave him a hard punch in the face, song young couldn't help but scream 'oh my...Sarah NOOOOO' she tried pulling Sarah away but Sarah resisted, 'you just thank God am in a good mood if not I would have given you two to three more punches to teach you a lesson (she then grabed song young's hand) let's go'. they went into the car and went off. the boy was still in shock, no one has ever humiliated him like that in his entire life. 'we'll see again and I promise you that I will get back at you for this just wait and see girl'. he then drove off in hest.
'settle down class, we have a new student here today(turned to Sarah ), please introduce yourself to the class' Mr zhan, the school academic supervisor said to Sarah. 'Hello everyone, my name is Sarah Lee, my Korean name is Lee Ah Ra, am part Korean and part American and I'll be studying here with you all, please take care of me' she said with a smile. the rest of the class welcomed her and all introduce theirselves to her, the class was short and ended well. Sarah and song young was sitting on a bench on the school park, 'sarah about yesterday when you arrive, do you remember the guy who bumped into our car?', Sarah then replied'oh you mean that ignorant fool, am sure the punch I gave him must have thought him a good lesson ', 'well about that, do you know who is is?' song young asked looking scared, 'why would I know him and who is he that i should know uh?and why are you asking me all this song young?'. As song young was about to speak, a group of girls started screaming and yelling' oh my Gosh, he's here, he's here, everyone gather round', Sarah turned and saw as everyone surrounding a tall figure, stood up to get a closer look but was shocked to see a familiar face(oh no, it's the same guy from yesterday), her body was still in shock but she managed to turn away from the guys gaze. The boy who had three other boys walked passed the crowd and went upstairs lukily he didn't notice sarah.
Sarah turned to song young 'is that what you wanted to tell me?, I can't believe that he's in the same university as us', 'yes Sarah, I was trying to tell you that he's a student in our university, his name is Kim hyun Joon and not just that, he is the son of Kim hyun shin, a number one business tycoon in all of Korea and he's one of the trustees of the university. that's why I was trying to stop you yesterday but you went ahead and punched him, now we're in big trouble' song young answered with a frail voice.
The second period of Sarah's class had ended and she was heading out but her bag fell and while she was trying pick it up, she heard a voice from above her, 'well well well, who do we have here'. Sarah looked up and it was Kim hyun Joon giving a faint smile. she stood up trying to leave but he blocked her way, walking towards and pinning her by the wall. he brought his face closer to her, he was so close she could feel his breath on her face, she tried pushing him away but he held her hands up against the wall, 'do you think that after what you did, you could go Scott free and look at how the tables have turned, who would have thought that we would be in the same university, you better get prepared cause in here am the king ha let's see how you're gonna survive in this school' he's word came as a threat to Sarah's ears, she knew that she about experience the worst school years of her life
Kim hyun Joon's words was on constant repeat on Sarah's head, song young approached her with a calm voice 'what are you gonna do now?, you don't know how powerful he is, he practically runs the entire school, everyone do whatever he says even the professors and school council'. 'And so what, am not scared of him and I don't care if he's the president's son. song young you know very well that I never back down from a fight especially from an arrogant rich brat, you just watch and see how I teach him a lesson if he ever cross my path again' Sarah said fircely.
hyun Joon and his friends were sitting in the teachers lounge 2(hyun Joon uses the teachers second lounge as he's and his friends relaxation room and no one is allowed to enter). 'so hyun Joon aren't you gonna tell us about that girl we saw you with at the hall huh, don't tell she's your new target hahaha, she's cute though, how about when your done with her, you can give her to me' Xiao Yi said, Xiao Yi is one of hyun Joon friends, he's known for his good looks and martial arts skills probably because he's the eldest son of a drug mafia from china, he has a code name called heart arrow this is because he changes girls on a daily basis and doesn't feel the pain of heartbreak mostly because he's the cause of those heartbreaks. then there's Tan tan, he is one of the top students in the university, he is known for being the smart one in the group and girls can't help but hover around him although he gives them a cold shoulder, that's because he already has someone he likes(that's he's childhood playmate, but she moved to china when they were 16), he's the son of a famous advocate in Korea and his code name is still Tan tan. And last but not least, there's Choi woo song, he's the closet to hyun Joon and the most obnoxious, he doesn't really care about studying and all he wants to do is partying and live a carefree life and because of that he doesn't get along well with his father who is business empire and also friends with hyun Joon's father. he is known for being a womanizer and a flirt, he has a code name called hot gun because he's a hot shot and girls are crazy about him. And all together, they are the four charming princes of the university.
hyun Joon answered Xiao Yi, 'she's not my girlfriend but that girl I told you guys about, the one with the taxi incident', 'wait, you mean that's the girl who punched you?, wow, she's pretty cute to be a puncher don't you think so guys, hahaha' tan tan said. 'she's gonna regret ever laying her hands on me, you guys just watch and see, I'll make her suffer so much that she leaves this school' and even this country' hyun Joon said with anger, 'now that's what I like to hear, but first where are we partying tonight, am in mood for drinks and chicks' woo song said laughing.
song young walked into Sarah's room(Sarah stays in song young's house)'sarah let's head out tonight, am really bored and besides you've come back to Korea after a long time, we need to go have some fun, please common' song young begged, 'ok fine let's go somewhere tonight but you're paying, ok?', 'alright alright let's go yeee'.
