I kept looking at the signs; they were all in both Korean and English, which was a sht place

My mental process felt extrens solish? Korean? And at what point did I need to just text hiencies I chewed my lower lip and pulled outout

“Grace!” It was loud, feminine, definitely not Siu

I whirled around and nearly collided with a large iPad with my name scribbled on it

Digital

Cool trick

“Hi” I offered a mini wave

She blinked at me

Slowly

Like she was either having a stroke or was confused why I answered to my own name

And then I stupidly did a little bow “Annyeong”

It was literally the only word I knew

Hello

But at least I pronounced it correctly, right? Wrong? Her eyes narrowed as she blinked even slower Was there another Grace? Was I wrong?

I cleared my throat

“You” She drew out the word in English like I would struggle with“You’re Grace”

“English, oh thank God” I exhaled and then winced “Sorry, my Korean is a bit sub-par”
