[align=center][size=5][color=violet][font=A Trip to Hell and Back]EQUATION 02: New Beginning[/font][/color][/size][/align]
[align=center]It took how many hours before we landed in Korea. Yeah! We’re finally here. Tama nga si Drake, though I didn’t grow here in Seoul, it’s about time to step and live in here once again. Kung saan talaga ako nag-start.[/align]
“[color=blue]Hey Drake! Kkaeda![/color]” I keep on waking him up pero matibay. Binatukan ko nga ng ubod ng lakas. Yung tipong matatanggal yung ulo nya.
He suddenly moves “[color=aqua]Ouch![/color]” he finally awake.
“[color=blue]Finally! Let’s go.[/color]” I command. “[color=blue]Maiiwan pa tayo nito eh. Bilis![/color]”
“[color=aqua]Andito na ba tayo?[/color]” he asked habang inaayos yung gamit niya.
“[color=blue]Nay. Faster![/color]”
[align=center]There, nakalabas na kami. The stewardess outside smiled on us so we smiled back.[/align]
“[color=aqua]So Xavier, here we are! How does Seoul look like?[/color]”
“[color=blue]I do not know, dude[/color]”
We keep on walking and reach the airport exit.
“[color=blue]Najjung ebwaeyo![/color]” I waved and get in the car. Naghiwalay na ang family namin and we got the first cab. Our cars are being delivered sa new house daw namin, according to mom so we need to rent a cab first. [color=green][i]{see you later!}[/i][/color]
[align=center]I took out my iPod and listen to music. Matutulog nalang muna ako. It looks like na matagal-tagal ang trip.[/align]
“Are you sure you got all your stuffs?” mom checked pagkababa ng cab.
I checked too. “[color=blue]Yep![/color]”
[align=center]We get inside our new house, more like mansion. I don’t need to describe our mansion, basta mansion lang yung description ko.[/align]
“[color=blue]I will look for my bedroom now[/color]”
“Oh sure, son. I’ll just call you once the dinner is ready.”
“[color=blue]Fine. Thanks[/color]” I brought my backpack with me tapos iniwan muna yung ibang baggage.
[align=center]I tour myself around to look na room na maayos-ayos and will surely fit sa atmosphere ko.
[i]*Phone rings*[/i][/align]
“[color=blue]Yeoboseyo?[/color]” I answered. [color=green][i]{hello}[/color][/i]
“[color=aqua]Yo dude, Korean ka na ulit[/color]”
“[color=blue]Loko! Why did you call?[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Wala, musta mansion nyo? Ayos ba?[/color]” toinks, he absolutely bored this time.
Ano nga ba? “[color=blue]Ayos lang. Better. As of now, naghahanap pa ako ng room ko[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Cool![/color]” sigaw niya. Napalayo ko ng konti yung phone. “[color=aqua]I’ll be there huh[/color]”
“[color=blue]Bahala ka[/color]” binaba ko na yung phone and enter a room which I declared my bedroom.
[align=center]I dumped my bag and run back sa living room to fetch my other stuffs.[/align]
[align=center][color=brown]----------[/color][/align]
“Hey son, Drake is here!” tawag ni mom.
“[color=blue]Coming![/color]” bumaba na ako agad para salubungin siya.
“[color=aqua]Yo! Saan bedroom mo?[/color]”
Sighed. “[color=blue]Kapshida![/color]” tumakbo na kami upstairs. [color=green][i]{let’s go}[/i][/color]
“Xave” I stopped. “May meeting later, your dad said.”
“[color=blue]Ok I’ll be there.[/color]”
[align=center]We reached the room.[/align]
“[color=aqua]Dude, sobrang laki huh.[/color]”
“[color=blue]Huge enough[/color]” I tsked. “[color=blue]Ano nga bang ginagawa mo dito?[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Tarry lang, masama and dad said na may sasabihin daw dad mo[/color]”
“[color=blue]Hmm… you will join the meeting?[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Siguro yun na nga.[/color]”
[align=center]Minutes later, we decided to stay at the living room and wait sa meeting[/align]
Drake got the remote, watches some Korean show of course. “[color=aqua]Busy agad si dad so he said alamin ko nalang daw ang parents[/color]’ lecture sa dad mo”
“[color=blue]I could see[/color]”
[align=center]Maya-maya, here comes dad. Mukhang galing kung saan naka-office coat pa eh. Mom followed after.[/align]
“[color=aqua]Hello Tito.[/color]” Drake greeted and shut the television.
“Buti nandito ka na iho.”
“[color=aqua]Actually, kanina pa po[/color]”
Sisingit na ako bago mas humaba ang usapan. “[color=blue]So dad, what’s the meeting about?[/color]”
“Oh yeah. It’s about the names. Our family, also Honders.” Drake’s family yung tinutukoy ni dad huh. “We’ll be using our different names from now on. Though we still know as Breinter and Honders.”
“[color=blue]Is that even illegal?[/color]” diba nga, kailangan pa ng long process para magpa-change ng name, legally.
“No son, we actually have real Korean names as of Honders, too.”
“[color=blue]I see.[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Pasingit po huh.[/color]” Si Drake yan. “[color=aqua]Do we really need to, Tito?[/color]”
Mom did the answer. “Yes, iho. So far marami pang business ang dapat asikasuhin and the names are very important to influence in the nation”
“[color=aqua]Ahh… okay[/color]”
“So, you guys will have a new name from now on” dad declared.

[b][color=red]A/N: The following scene will contain Korean news report statements so I decided to fully translate it to English. The news reports and other necessary statements will be translated for the readers’ sake. Thanks![/color][/b]
[align=center][color=pink]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/color][/align]
[i]*News Report*[/i]
[i]Finally, the Shin and Park family are back in Korea after so many years of staying and living in America. These families are known to be the most influential and successful citizens here. As of now, Shin and Park family decided to once live here in Seoul and continue to work for success.
We can see your success Mr. Shin and Mr. Park, so good luck for your new success. I’m Lee Joo Mi, of Korea’s News reporting. Annyonghi kyesayo! Annyonghi jumushipsiyo! [color=green]{good bye, good night}[/color][/i]
[align=center]…[/align]
[align=center]I switched off the television after that news. I don’t need to care. Drake and I doesn’t know but the public since hindi pa rin naman nila kami na-e-encounter sa business things. we still have the peace and freedom to enjoy a new start in Korea. Opposite naman ito from our parents na predictably, over busy na as of now.
Before I anything else, [color=blue]Xavier Breinter[/color] was already gone and [color=aqua]Drake Honders[/color]. Remember, we have Korean names. Drake is [color=aqua]Park Joon Kyoung[/color] or Joon as nickname. While me, [color=blue]Shin Kyu Hyun[/color]. Kyu for short. Korea is my new beginning. Wala ng fame dito and I need to start all over again. Siguro hindi na ako maghahangad ng kahit na anong kasikatan basta makatakas lang sa Xavier’s world na never nag-exist dito sa Seoul. This will be great![/align]
“[color=aqua]Hang-out tayo.[/color]” I almost forgot. Drake I mean Joon Kyoung is still here. Nakatulog lang kanina kaya tumahimik ang mundo ko.
“[color=blue]Dude, bago palang tayo dito. Hang-outs na nasa isip mo.[/color]”
“[color=aqua]Kahit naman nasaan tayo, you don’t even have interests to have fun”[/color]
He got the point but still. “[color=blue]Anjaysayyo, watch movie atsaka na tayo gumala like what you said.[/color]” [color=green][i]{sit down}[/i][/color]
“[color=aqua]Geupgiya… Fine. Boring ka talaga. Hermit-hyung.[/color]” He complained. [color=green][i]{in the end}[/i][/color]
“[color=blue]Jeoldae! Suggestion ko lang,eh kung umuwi ka muna sa mansion nyo and stop tarrying here. Dumalaw ka naman sa room mo hindi ako yung ginugulo mo.[/color]” I forcedly suggested. [color=green][i]{absolutely}[/i][/color]
He shrugged. “[color=aqua]Oo na. Hermit Kyu![/color]” nang-asar pa. “[color=aqua]Tita alis na po ako.[/color]”
“Okay iho.”
“[color=blue]Fine. Sige na out. Out![/color]” I commanded and pushed him out.
[align=center]Sa wakas, wala nang pananggulo sa bahay.[/align]
“[color=blue]Mom, I ‘ll not eat dinner tonight[/color]” and I rushed up.
“Why son?”
“[color=blue]I’m still full![/color]” I shouted back.
[align=center]By the way, we don’t have maid or others aside sa personal driver ko. Besides, dagdag gastos at tao lang yung mga yun. We can handle naman at hindi na ako bata para ala-alagaan pa.[/align]
[align=center][color=brown]----------[/color][/align]
[align=center]I woke up late and surely mom and dad were gone this moment. Bumaba na ako agad to look for food. Naghahanap na ngayon ng pagakain yung stomach ko, nilipasan ko kasi yung dinner. Now, I’m carving for it.[/align]
[align=center]Mom left a note sa fridge.[/align]
[quote][align=center][i]You’re surely hungry. I cooked some breakfast in the fridge just heat. Take care. Love, mom.[/i][/align][/quote]
[align=center]Predictable, kung paano kami sa U.S. ganito din kami dito. Still busy at independent. No choice kinagisnan ko na. At least lumaki ako with my parents, mga two and a half years, hindi yung since birth independency.
Set those usual things aside. Dumako tayo sa studies. There! Medyo may malaking conflict kasi maghahabol kami this time. Late transferees kami and I never been study in Korea so hindi ko alam ang pasikot-sikot on their academics but I think, I can handle. Sana or else, ewan. Dahil nga na-bother na rin ako, I remember na hindi ko pa pala alam kung saang academy kami papasok.[/align]
[align=center]I dialed dad’s digits… minutes passed.[/align]
“[color=blue]Busy? Baka nasa meeting.[/color]” I changed the digits, kay mom naman, “[color=blue]Amp. Busy din.[/color]”
[align=center]I put down the phone at nag-ayos nalang ulit ng mga gamit ko. I wonder kung saan kaya kami papasukin ni dad. Hope it will be the best among here. Nevermind.
Hours passed…[/align]
[align=center][i]*Phone rings*[/i]
I hurried answered the phone.[/align]
“You called a while ago son, what is it?” mom’s on the other line.
“[color=blue]I just want to ask about the schooling thing.[/color]”
“Oh! Probably, that will be your dad’s plan for tomorrow.”
Na-advance ako. “[color=blue]Ganun ba? Then, maybe tomorrow nalang.[/color]”
“Alright. Take care, bye.” she hung up.
[align=center]They are surely busy and I think next time nalang ako magtatatanong and I think all things were settled before we arrived here. Ganun naman sila eh, just to make sure that this family will be fine and successful. Maghihintay nalang ako for tomorrow.
This day is now over…[/align]
