You’re sitting on the balcony of your hotel, you were on holiday in South Korea, your home country. You moved to the UK at 12 and now you were at the beach.

You’re sitting on your phone, in the shade because the sun was scorching.

“안녕하세요! 이름이 뭐예요?” ”Hello! What’s your name?”

A voice emerges from the balcony next to you, though you had a curtain. This mysterious boy tilts his head over to the side so he can peak through.

“uh-“

You say as you try to think of what to say, in your broken korean.
