The Beginning

Maybe it was the desire to be needed again. She had once been needed by him. She had done everything in her power to give everything that she could. To be everything that he needed. She had thrown every caution to the winds and it had been worth it. She was loved more than she ever felt she had deserved.

She had always been lucky like that, when it came to judging the characters of people. Who to keep in her life and who to cut out. That is to say she wasn't so lucky when it came to who she got to keep in her life unless she fought tooth and nail to keep it.

Maybe that was why, when she found out that one of her neighbors was abusing her kids, she just took them without a second thought. That lady was too busy being drunk out of her damn mind to notice. She just went in and got them out.

One of them had even been chained up. This was all sorts of beyond fucked up and she had no idea what the hell she was even doing, but then again she had always been impulsive. It just wasn't her way to behave otherwise. It wasn't until she got them safely back to her small apartment that she realized the major issue they were going to have as they both stared at her, one fearfully and the other warily.

The language barrier.

She did not know how to speak Korean other than the few words and phrases she'd seen from movies and dramas. That and how to buy things and how to get food. Which to her basically meant only the necessities.

She supposed that she had basically dragged them to her place, even though they didn't yell or anything. BUT there were a few words that she did know and body language is always universal. She was proud to say that she had always been a supremely expressive person.

She gestured both hands forwards in a placating manner to show that she meant no harm.

"Sorry. Sorry. Korean no good."

She pointed to herself and her eyes and towards them.

"Hurt. No. No."

She then pointed towards the outside.

"Crazy woman. No. No."

She then gestured back towards them. Hugging herself before running in place and then jumped with her hands upwards into a V as if to say and here we are.

They could only stare at the crazy woman after all the gestures she just did as she waited for their reactions. It was then that another important realization dawned upon her.

"Hungry?"
