9 years ago, in North Korea, a very young woman by the name of Jae-hye Choun had been planning to escape her country. She loved the people, but what was happening was very toxic. The sixth of March was the very first day she started putting together her plan. At 11:23 pm she sat at her desk, writing down possibilities on how to escape.

"Cross the chinese border? Or, I could escape by-" Her quiet whispering was interrupted by one of her housemothers. "JAE-HYE CHOUN! I TOLD YOU TO DO YOUR BED AND CLEAN YOUR ROOM." The housemother came in and pushed her to the side before taking the notebook and her pen. She had noticed Jae hadn't been doing anything because she didn't hear anything moving. "You'll get this back, once you are finished. I want to hear you clean!" Jae-hye sighed and shrugged. "I'm not going to just let someone boss me around like that... First they don't feed me properly, then they don't treat me nicely. I'm getting out of here." Jae sighed as she put on some shoes and a jacket, before going out of the building. She knew she was going to get thrown out of here soon enough, so she could do what she wanted.

After Jae-hye had left the orphanage she made her way to a lake where she always went when she got mad or when she needed some alone time. Not many people visit this lake, so that was a big benefit for her. Although, on this day, she saw one of the people she hated but loved the most.

"What are you doing here? This is my lake. You know that. Go back to do your drugs and leave me behind! You don't care enough for me to come here. Please leave, I do not need you." Jae-hye teared up as she saw her older brother. Her brother, Jin soo, chuckled. "You love me and you know it, Sister. You are the dearest person to me. Who is dear to you? Mom? Dad?" He chuckled. "They left us here and you'll probably never see them again." Jae-hye started to tear up and ran to him before she hugged him. She bursted out in tears. "It's okay... It's okay... One day you'll understand my addiction."

Bum... Bum... Bum...

Jae-hye's pov, three years later.

Beep, Beep, Beep.

I never expected this moment. The tears were worse than before. I knew this moment would come. I held his hand tightly in mine, my Head on his stomach. Tears flew down my face as much and as quick as ever. I knew this would happen. Why do I feel like this? Why am I crying this much? This is nothing new... Maybe I was just heartbroken that my only family left is now about to be... dead? I hugged my about to be dead brother tighter than ever. "I am so sorry, I am so very sorry..." He patted my Head and said. "It's okay... I forgive you. I told you you'd understand someday. I love you Jae-hye, I always have. I am going to be your Angel and guard over you until you are with me. Be succesfull, I believe in you. I love you, My dearest sister." These were his last words. "I love you too! I LOVE YOU TOO! Don't leave me, please, I will never neglect you again! I am so sorry, jin soo..." He smiled before his Heart stopped beating. When I heard the beepy thing go off I couldn't move my body. I was so devastated of losing the last person I had.

The only person I loved. The only person I trusted. The only person I had. Goodbye, My dearest brother, Jin soo. I love you.

Some months passed and I had finally found a way how to escape North Korea. I had no one that I had to take with me. The day had come, I can leave this country to explore the world. I had packed my luggage so I could go to my new Orphanage, since the old Orphanage couldn't handle me anymore. This was supposed to be the third Oprhanage I go to. There wasn't a third time. I escaped by taking a boat to get to Japan, through the Sea of Japan.

When I got to the border of North Korea I quickly threw the dark blue boat I had stolen into the Water. I threw my luggage into it and jumped inside myself. I layed down and closed my eyes as I felt the waves be very wild. Boy, did it take long. I put a jacket of mine on myself and  accidentally fell asleep.

After a bit I felt a small Water splash fall upon my face. The waves were getting wilder, and I realized I couldn't see any land. I sighed and shrugged. I didn't have anything to lose, if I would have stayed in North Korea I would have died anyway. Normal people would get a panic attack, but I didn't. I left nothing and no one behind, so would it really matter if I died? No. This is what people call adventure and excitement. I wouldn't have experienced this feeling if I stayed in North Korea. This is nothing, but it's amazing!

I sat up and opened my backpack to pull out a small bag of chips, which I opened and ate. When I was done, I fell asleep again. Of course, it was on accident again. Or maybe because the beds in the Orphanage were very uncomfortable.

My brain created a dream during my nap. The dream was about me becoming a big person of a company. I couldn't figure out what it was. Boss? CEO? Spokesperson? I don't know. What I haven't mentioned yet was that even through everything I went through, I went to School. I got a diploma. I graduated. Just felt like I needed to mention that.

I dreamed of getting announced as... as? My dream got interrupted as I felt a lot of Water being poured onto my face. I immediately sat up and started breathing heavily.
