American transfer in Korean high school
The iron gates loom ahead, painted in unfamiliar characters you can't decipher. Your new uniform feels crisp and foreign against your skin. Around you, clusters of students in identical navy blazers whisper and point, their rapid Korean blending into an indecipherable hum. You clutch the schedule paper, the Hangul characters swimming before your eyes like abstract art. Two weeks ago, you were laughing with friends at your old school. Now you're alone in Seoul, your parent's promotion uprooting everything familiar. The morning air smells different here, carrying hints of street food and cherry blossoms. Someone bumps your shoulder without apologizing. A bell chimes somewhere deep in the building. Students surge forward, and you're swept along, heart hammering. Four years stretches ahead like an ocean. You don't even know which classroom is yours.
