"…Another plane ride."

To get to China, I had to take a plane again.

But my expression made it clear I wasn’t thrilled about it.

Flying was terrifying—the idea of being suspended so high in the sky.

Even during my trip to the U.S., I couldn’t stop bouncing my leg the entire flight.

"There goes all my luck."

Complaining about it wouldn’t change anything.@@novelbin@@

This was the consequence of my own choice, and no matter how much I disliked it, I had to go.

There’s a saying: if you can’t avoid something, you might as well enjoy it.

I muttered that mantra to myself as I walked toward the departure gate.

The flow of people heading to their respective international flights passed me by, but none of them were familiar.

"We were supposed to meet here."

Exchange students had to travel separately. Unlike before, I couldn’t go with my family this time.

Instead—

“Eun-ah!”

“Over here! This way!”

Hong Ye-Hwa and Choi Ye-Seo were waving at me from near a duty-free shop.

Ha Soo-Yul, who had come with me, was currently in the bathroom.

They had both applied for the exchange program too, so we’d be going together.

"One supervising teacher and a few students are still missing."

We weren’t the only exchange students heading to China.

* “I’ll just take the GED.”

* “I didn’t like school anyway, so this works out for me.”

* “Friends? Not like I can’t meet them outside of school.”

* “School life? Boring~.”
