Koreanization

After taking the oath of my chosen profession, I embraced unemployment for more than three months (believe me it's really deadly). I have nothing to do but wait for the sun to rise and set. It was absolute boredom.


The Students
One evening, it's almost midnight when I received a text message from Judd. He's asking me if I'm interested  to work. At that very moment, the answer to my boredom is about to save me. At first I have doubts but before 12:01 a.m. I had a positive confirmation.


Immediately next day, we went to a Korean academy with our resumes on hand. I had my very first encounter with a Korean. It was very overwhelming and I had a strange feeling while conversing with him. Fortunately, Judd and I passed the exam and we started to work three days after we applied. 


First day. I never expected in my whole life that I'll be working as an English tutor. O fcourse, who am I to do so. English had never liked me and the same is true with me---I never liked English as well. I saw familiar faces when I entered the study room. Nomer, Jen and Lovelyn were there. And by surprise, I found out that most of the tutors were also nurses.  somehow, it gave me an idea that I  also belong there.
