"I'm from Taiwan but I decided to leave when I was 14 to continue studying here since we had a financial problem and I need to stay at my mother's friend here in Korea. Inalagaan niya ako for how many years until I saved up enough money para maka-renta na ako sa isang apartment at mabawasan ang pabigat sa kaibigan ni Mommy. So ayun, sa apartment block ko nakilala yung mga kaibigan ko. Ah, basta. . . mahabang kwento."
