You were always such an angry child growing up. Not only were you picked on because you were the only black girl in your school, but also in your foster home. No one cared for you as a child. Until you turned 15 and some rich guy adopted you stating...
Being alone is nothing new to me. People calling me derogatory terms or pulling my hair because i'm different was something I had to constantly go through as a child. I've been unwanted since the day I was born. No one loved me so I fought to protect myself.
But that blew up in my face. I got into a lot of fights because of rude comments and self defense. I would say that it toughened me out and I'm no longer weak so I count it as a win. I accepted my harsh reality and learned to suck it up. I can only rely on myself.
I also gave up the dream of being adopted. Seems like the small town I live in are stuck in the stone ages so people treat me like I'm a stain that needs to be purged. I work multiple jobs to buy myself food and save up so I can have a successful life when I graduate. The foster home I live in, the workers hate my guts! They stopped feeding me when I was 12 and I had to hustle. I only stay here to shower and crash.
So imagine my surprise when one of the workers knocked on my door and told me that I'm being adopted by some and I quote "Chinese" man. I went to go meet this "Chinese" man and he smiled warmly at me. I gave him a questioning look. I never met this man before so why is he smiling at me like we're old friends. What a weirdo...
"Y/N meet Mr. Hong! He came all the way from China!" The Director grinned widely as if he didn't make me live like I'm in hell.
"Actually I'm Mr. Hong's secretary, and he's Korean." The man corrected the director politely. I snorted and covered my mouth stifling my laughter.
"You must be Y/N! My name is Mr. Kim and my boss sent me to America to go and adopt you. He already booked a flight and took care of the paperwork and got you a passport." Mr. Kim smiled. Although his smile was fake.

"I feel like you skipped several steps in this adoption process. You're boss must be rich. Probably bribed everyone." I smirked while speaking in Korean. Mr. Kim seemed to be taken aback and smirked in amusement.
"I like you." He responded a playful lint in his eye. The director just looked at us with confusion not understanding why were saying.
"Look. I'm going to be frank. Rich people don't just adopt people like me just because. Why choose a Florida girl in a small country town to adopt? Especially someone of my race." I narrowed my e/c eyes in suspicion. (Still speaking Korean)
"You might not remember but on the day July 18, XXXX you saved a Korean girl from thugs in the city Miami which is only a 39 minute drive from here. She wanted to pay you for your heroic efforts but you declined saying everything in this world you buy it with money but kindness is not one of them. She was sad because you seemed sad and she wanted to compensate so we hired a team to hunt you down with the help of a picture she took of your license plate from your car. When my boss, her father learned you had no family he decided to adopt you." The man explained with a smile.
"Well. I'll do anything to leave this god forsaken place so I guess I have no qualms with leaving." I sighed scratching my cheek.
"Wonderful! Because we're leaving today!" Mr. Kim cheered while clapping his hands in celebration. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open in disbelief.
"While you were talking the guards packed all of your stuff. Turns out we only needed a trash bag oh ho ho ho!" He laughed without a care. I felt a tick mark appear.
This prick really wants to die...
Immediately after he mentioned the guards. A tall buff man held a trash bag filled with my possessions and handed it to me gently.
Speaking in English
"Oh..Thank you." I bowed slightly. Mr. Kim chuckled and led me to a black Kia. He sat in the passenger seat and I sat on the back.
