Capítulo 1: New Body
– Miss Hwang, can you please put a heating pad on my leg, it's starting to freeze. – I lay there looking at the ceiling, barely able to speak because of the cast on my neck.
Actually, my entire body was in a cast, and only thanks to the painkillers I could calmly watch YouTube from the phone that was hung above me.
"It looks like I've been reborn." The only thoughts that came to my mind.
I had two reasons for this:
1) I ended up in Korea from my country, without knowing the language at all.
2) I was hit by a huge industrial truck with a bunch of sand inside.
To be honest, I was surprised that I could think normally under all the drugs, but it didn't bother me much.
Of course, I didn't know Korean, but later I found out that this body had also been hit by a car, so faking amnesia was the right decision.
Surprisingly, I learned Korean in a week, which I attributed to my body's memory, although it was still surprising. My head worked much better than mine previous one, several times better.
Right now I was studying Chinese, which was a little easier after Japanese.
One day I decided to ask a question that interested me.
– Miss Hwang, how much will my treatment cost? – I was overwhelmed with excitement, because no one had visited me during all this time. I could easily be an orphan.
– You don't have to worry. – She smiled and leaned towards me. – The bills for the treatment have already been paid. It's a secret, but they say Congressman Kim did it personally. That's definitely a good politician in this quagmire.
"Bullshit, like I believed it. Probably his son or daughter hit me."
After a month of treatment, I was healthy, but at the insistence of the doctors, I underwent another month of rehabilitation. I wasn't even surprised when the congressman himself came to see me at the end of the month.
We had a warm conversation until the nurse left. As soon as I heard his indirect questions about my amnesia, I was confirmed in my hypothesis.
- I didn't expect you to personally come clean up after your golden youth. - I continued in the same happy voice, which failed to catch him off guard.
He immediately became serious.
- So you got your memory back. - He moved the chair back and stood next to the bed.
He announced the price of compensation, which instantly lifted my spirits. But I didn't show it and decided to go for All-In.
My counter-offer made his cheekbones rise and his veins began to bulge, but a minute later, when I was already regretting it, he calmed down and smiled.
- Agreed. But you'll have to work and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
As a result, I received a fortune that I can live on for ten years, which is a jackpot for a 14-year-old orphan.
In addition, I took part in a congressman's PR campaign to provide housing for socially vulnerable groups, and "won" a competition to distribute housing.
A huge two-story house with three bathrooms. If you squeeze a little, then 15 people can easily live here!
Not to mention the other events I took part in. Already there I realized that his election campaign was going on, but I was not averse to helping this old man for additional benefits and perks.
Everyone wins!
Having received the promised money through a paper insurance company, which most likely laundered money, and government subsidies - I was the happiest orphan in the world.
Looking at his increased approval ratings, I can say that he did not lose, and I realized my value. The only reason he did not get rid of me is ... because I am a incredibly handsome man! My cuteness and tragic history were what he so lacked to increase his ratings after mutual mudslinging with another candidate.
– Ha-ha-ha-ha! – I was now in a private Japanese restaurant with the congressman, celebrating the success of his company, which will provide him with the position of the second person in country before election. And when the current President's term ends, I will be able to brag that I know the president.
– Well done, son. – With a red face, he handed me his glass, which I filled with soju. – If you can get into the capital's university law faculty, then I will definitely take care of you.
– I will try, Mr. President! – I saluted him.
– Come on, the elections are not over yet and I have not yet taken the position of president... yet. – The smile did not leave his face.
Perhaps his son would have been in my place if he had not hit me, forcing him to hide son for a while in Europe under the pretext of studying.
Already on the way home, I was sitting in the car with Congressman Kim, who was laughing all the time. Before leaving, he hugged me, patting me on the back, which made me a little embarrassed, and then sent me home.
Having said goodbye to him and the driver, I went home, immediately going to the shower and throwing my clothes in the washing machine because of the strong smell of alcohol.
I will not meet him again. We both knew about it. Of course, if I will get into the law faculty at Seoul University, but that's still a long way off.
Lying in bed and looking at my phone, where my bank account was displayed, I still couldn't believe it was happening. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a dream.
Turning on the split system, I covered myself with a blanket and fell asleep. It was the 15th birthday of this body.
Waking up, I went down to the kitchen and drank some cooled orange juice.
– I'm already 15 years old… Maybe I should go to high school? – Although it, like in many other countries, was optional, but for me it was primarily attractive in the form of a social environment. For me, the entire country is still outside of my comfort zone.
The studies themselves are not important to me, but as an opportunity to make friends and acquaintances. Clenching my hand into a fist, I decided that this was not a bad idea and I could always quit.
First of all, I was looking for a specialized school with interesting subjects. The usual ones were immediately discarded, because I did not want to study the same thing.
Having set some more criteria such as convenient location, reputation, popularity and sponsorship. As a result, out of a dozen options, I chose the most attractive one - J High.
A wide range of specializations: from architecture and design to beauty and fashion.
– Before entering, I should bulk up a bit. After the accident, my body is very frail and thin, and cases of bullying in the country are too common. But where should I sign-up? – I began thoughtfully looking at the gyms near the center of Seoul, stopping at the taekwondo dojang. – Oh, maybe MMA? This gym has a fitness room and a martial arts room.
"It's decided, I'll start training from tomorrow!"
