Chapter 1: Moving

(Dongho P.O.V)

Dongho, I’m tired of having to go to conference for your behavior, why can’t you be a normal 15 years old boy? What happen to the little boy I knew? This year you been suspended, and expelled countless of time. I’m just really tired, Dongho.” My umma cried.
“They started it, it’s because I look so much like you, a girl! Treating me as if I was a little girl. Do you know how that feels? Being harassed by other boys. You’re tired of it? I’m tired then you. I’m tired of having to fight for my right as a male! I’m tired umma!” I said frustrated.
“I’ve made my decision. For the benefit of the both of us…we’re moving.” she said calmly.
“Yes, the easy way out plan, where now huh? America again? Japan? Singapore? China? We’ve been to so many places I lost count.” I sighed aloud.
It’s always been like this, moving again doesn’t changes anything.
“It’s near Korea, an island called Mystic. I heard everyone there is very friendly.” my umma smiled.
“Whatever, when do I pack?” I asked.
“We’re leaving in 2 days. Start packing.”
And so I did…
*Mystic Island*
We arrived late that afternoon, however, there was no sunlight. It looks like it’s about to rain. Weird…in Korea was sunny.
“Umma, isn’t it weird to you, this place isn’t even on the map.” I said.
“Mr. Hemuro told me this place is very isolated. That’s why it isn’t on the map, but he assured this place is the best.”
“Who’s Mr. Hemuro?” I asked.
“He was my everyday customer, he’s also our landlord from this day forward.”
“Weird…what did he buy everyday?” I felt the urge to asked.
“Um…meat…but the weird thing was that he always look for the bloodiest bunch.” my umma thought.
Ok…weird…
“Oh! Here he is now.” I glanced at a pale skinned middle age man. He had creepy vibe to him, the man gave me chill all the way to my bones.
“Ah…Mr. Shin…I’m glad you made it, we thought you would get here tomorrow…I guess we’re wrong.”
“We came as fast as we can.” my umma smiled.
The man stared at me, “And who is this young lady?”
Stupid old fool…
“Uh no…this is my son, Dongho.” my umma corrected.
“Oh, so sorry my boy…it’s just-well never mind. I’m sure you’ve heard it many times before.” he chuckled and ugly chuckled.
“Your boy is not much of a talker is he?”
“I’m sorry, he just”-
“No, No, it’s fine. Come, come see your new home.”
He helped us carry our luggage from the ship and lead us to our new home. A two story house with a lovely porch, 2 beautiful balcony, and surprisingly a nice green lawn.
“It’s beautiful isn’t it Dongho? But Mr. Hemuro this must cost a fortune. Isn’t there a smaller house?” my umma seem like she was regretting to leave this house.
“No, no, this place is actually cheap. It’s only 500 a month.
“Wow, that’s very cheap. We’ll take it.” my umma beamed.
We walked into the beautiful house, it had a fire place, a home furnish with wooden floor, it wasn’t hard to say the house was like a dream house…it was dam beautiful.
I picked my room with the view of the lake, after putting all my belonging in my room, I wanted to take a walk outside for fresh air.
“Umma, I’m going for a walk.”
“Ok, just be careful ok.”
I walked outside and felt the soft cold breeze gently hitting my face…well, I have to admit, this place is great so far.
Suddenly 2 guys came up to me, “Hey you must be the new kid.” wow, this is the first time I wasn’t mistaken as a girl.
“Uh…yea.”
“I’m Kevin.” the cheery one said.
“I’m Kibum.” the dark haired boy said.
“Well I’m Dongho.”
“Nice to meet you, Dongho.” they smiled.
“So how do you like the place so far?” Kibum asked me.
“Um, it’s nice. It’s just well, the sun doesn’t shine.”
“Well, here-in this island the sun doesn’t shine…often.” Kevin smiled up at Kibum.
“Oh, ok.” weird…
Kibum stared at me as if he can see through me, “you, starting school tomorrow, right?”
“Uh…yea. Mystic High, right?”
Kevin somehow looks stiff, “Well, we got to tell you some of the rules:
1st: Never look anyone in the eyes.
2nd: If you come across the Kingka, run the other direction
3rd: Don’t look at the Queenka, their the Kingka property.
“Ok, who is the kingka, why are they so special?”
“The kingka are the most popular boys in the school, getting notice by them, you will never see the end of them. People fear them…
