It was the same day and time as the party was being held, and Jang just arrived with his brand new outfit, rugby team jacket, shiny shoes and dark jeans.

A show of lights showcased on the front yard, with the whole street being occupied by cars, along with loud rap music coming out of the house where the party was being held.


The house was filled with many people inside, seeming that the house was full of them and a few people outside, talking with their red plastic cups in their hand, with a pale-brown color liquid inside them.

The loud music coming from the inside has numbed Jang's senses, making all his senses follow the sound of the music. Suddenly, a man reached for a handshake while joyfully saying out his name

"It's you, Jong, sick comeback son"

Jang turned his body towards the man and awkwardly smiled and thanked him along with a clean and nice sound of the air popping inside the handshake.

"Nice"
Replied the man with a slightly shocked look on his face.



Walking inside the house, slowly wandering between the though crowd of people singing and dancing, or just talking to their friends. With a better look around, Jang's eyes widened and a slight shock stroke his soul

"Is this what Matheo experiences every Sunday?"

Asked Jang himself

For him, it was a totally different vibe from being in any other place, the choosen song and the overall feeling was overwhelming, but a cozy feeling, a feeling of a community where he thought that placing himself inside it, there would be no problem.

On a quick look at the window-door which led to a long pool with ceramic tiles placed inside the pool, as walls for the interior, a few bushes sprinkled around strategically with grass placement under them, along with more space for the common activity and a few rubber floaties designed as dogs and cats.


Near the pool, on the pale-red brick placement on the ground, there were tens of High school studens that were hyping some man into drinking from a hose that seemed to come out of a metal barrel filled with beer. 

"NO SHOT, no way man's crazy as hell, HE'S BOTTOMLESS!"
Screamed a buffed guy at the man drinking while lying on his back, giving him a slight shocking face and a hint of amazenet in his eyes

"Woaah, how much can he drink?"

Whispered Jang to himself, dumbfounded, amazed by the activity that the pool-group was being into.

In one of the houses's corners, there were a six people play a game named Beer Pong, with 3 people on the left side and 3 people at the right side of the table, two teams of 3 people each.

~Beer Pong is a game where there are plastic cups placed in a shape of pyramid, one next to the each other. The game consists in two or four people playing at each of the table's edges, vertically, the players have one ping pong ball each, whoever throws a ball and it lands inside one of the other player's cup, the respective player that has a ball in the cup has to drink it.~

As Jang continued walking trought the party zone, another high schooler bumped into him, spilling his drink himself.

"Wacha' man, c-can't you WAAALK?!"
Exclaimed the highschooler, showing his empty cup to Jang while continously talking, then walking away while nodding negatively sideways.

As he walked away, Jang turned his look at him, being confused and scratching his head with his index finger. As he left, someone else came from the front of the student, it was Matheo.

"Nah don't mind him, that's just an average party dude, he's just drunk"
Said Matheo, hand-shaking Jang, with a loud and cool snap of sound between the palms.

"Love the vibe"

Replied Jang, smirking at Matheo, showing his thumb, waving it towards his back, with his eyes grunting and trying to find a good volume in his voice so that he could understand it.

"Right?! Dude, Jong, you have to meet this chick, I tell you, she's perfect for you, I tell you" 
Said Matheo, gently grabbing Jang by his hoodie and slightly pushing him towards the crowd of people around the house, going towards the terrace of the first floor.

The house looked small from the outside, but it was actually pretty huge on the inside, and the amount of people sitting around made it look so full that it looked small.

While going towards the terrace, with Matheo leading him from behind him, Jang looked at the interior of the place again and saw the rest of the items. The living room having two pool tables, one large TV, four seats with leather exterior and a long grey couch.

The sound everyone made at the same time was astonishing. Everyone talking at the same time... the sound was  loud, but somewhat comforting... so many voices, so many stories, so many actions.

Keeping the slow pace between the crowded house and going up the stairs, Jang just realised something. Matheo did not even smell of alcohol, fact that shocked and calmed him at the same time because he thought that Matheo would be the thirstiest from the party.

On arrival, at the edge of the balcony there was a blonde girl that had her arms comforted on the wooden supports that were covering the edges. Jang looked back, trying to find a way to turn back, but Matheo pushed him again and they both approached her.

She was almost the same height as Jang. Wearing casual clothes, with very few accesories on her fingers and ears. Fun thing, the first thing that Jang observed was that she looked so intense and interested in the stars from the dark blue sky in the dead of the night, the howling of the wolves.

Matheo introduced both of them to each other by wasting no time.

She turned around and smiled while switching her look from Matheo to Jang

"Soso, this is Jong, Jong, this is Soso, okay, bye-!"

Said Matheo, introducing his palms in the conversation, placing it gently in the air, once at Jang, then at Soso.
Leaving in a hurry, he closed the glass door behind him and nodded positively at Jang.

"You know (changes look from Matheo to Soso, while pointing towards him with the back of his thumb, then changing his back look consecutively) he's so weird. I've know him for quite some time, but it's like something in him changed, more energetic, more positive"

"If (gently points at the glass door) that is weird, you should see my friends, actual menances, I say)"

Jang looked at the stars from before and pointed towards them.

"You interested in them?"

Soso looked back at the stars too, while heading to the edge of the balcony, with Jang slowly following her.

"I love them, they are so many, it's just like a family, you know? Bonded forever family groups, it's... beautiful"

"You know, I know someone that said the same exact thing"
Smiled Jang, with a slow pace in his voice

"Oh really? That's awesome"

She turned her look back at the stars, while Jang looked back at her, wandering his eyes on her look
In that exact time, the loud music that was going in the loud speakers, it got quieter and quieter. There wasn't anything else for Jang, only the face he had in front of him, Soso.

A few seconds after, Soso broke the silence and quickly looked back at Jang, scaring him for a matter of a second, jump scaring him

"What do you like to do in your free time- (laughs). Sorry, did I scare you-? (Continues laughing, while showing her bright smile.

"(Slightly chuckles) I almost fainted, that's all (looks in front of him, on Soso's right)"

She started laughing even harded, with quick pauses of breath between them. She pointed her palm out, trying to stop herself, but succeding seconds after

"Sorry, sorry, continue (continues smiling while wiping her tears with the tip of her fingers)"

"I... (looks at her than looks in front of him) like reading books and sports, I think? My life is not really an action movie, how about you?"

Asked Jang, while combing his hair behind with his palm, letting the fibers of hair flow through his fingers.

"So... I read too and I actually picked on one some (imitates a mocking voice)

"Spanish (grunts mouth in agreemnt, slowly nodding twice, while putting his under-arm on the wooden support, locking his finger, while  connecting his fingers), tell me something interesting"

Soso put her index finger on her chin and looked at the sky, thinking about her next words.

"Okay... Ummm, I'm not thaat good but here we go... Me gustas...ma-- (turns around in a 360 movement slowly, thinking) no... that's all"

"(Jokingly) What does that mean, did you just curse me?"

She started giggling this time, but it was slowly stopped by Jang's question

"Are you hungry?"

"Kind of, why?"

"I know a really good food truck downtown, near the Kannu origami shop"

"Yooo, I actually love the food from there"

"(Points towards the glass door from behind them, with a slow voice) We could go now, if you want"

"Okay, let's go let's go let's go!!"

Exclaimed Soso, pushing Jang from his back, then as they went inside the house, she stood near him and asked Jang different questions, which made both of them laugh or smirk, along with both of their answers that were covered by the loud music, by which means, only they could hear their conversation. 


Matheo saw them heading to the entrance and whispered loudly to Jang "let's gooo!" while being baffled and happy at the same time, while using an arm gesture that goes down and up three times vertically with his fist being tight and his arm at 45 degrees.
The dark blue sky, topped with stars and a nice warm air went hand in hand with their little walk around the town.

The town was lighted with vintage dark-yellow lights, giving it a different vibe, there were a lot of people walking around, everyone seemed so happy, but nobody could beat Jang at that in the moment that he was just in.

"Is this really your first party?

Asked Soso, looking directly into Jang's eyes with a passionate touch and loud interest.

"Matheo got me into coming, but I don't mind it now, I actually might do it again (chuckles)"

"I understand, believe it or not, this is my first party too, I lied because I didn't want you to think that I'm a weirdo or something"

"Oh, for real?"
Asked Jang, showing interest in her answer.

She nodded her head two times consecutively in a slow pace/

They continued talking as long as the night, until the rise of the warm sun parted them.

Standing in front of each other, Jang did not knew how to say goodbye to her, so he tried to find a good way to say goodbye for her.
"Well... I better get home, tomorrow I've got some tests due--"

Jang's sentence was interrupted by a gesture made by Soso
She raised herself on the tip of her toes and kindly kissed Jang on his cheek, making Jang's breath tremble on the spot, not knowing what to do next.

That moment Jang felt something, it was a feeling of being somebody important to someone, to be someone half's, he felt... loved.

"You said you liked parties, I could come with you next time too (gently smirks)"

Soso looked down and started searching for something in her small hand-bag. She took out a thin black marker and reached for Jang's hand. 

Soso clicked the pen from her hand and wrote something on his hand
She walked away and waved at Jang from a distant range with a brand new smile on her face. When he realised that she was leaving, he waved back at her with a gentle smirk.
When Jang checked what she wrote on his hand, his vibe was trought the roof, happiest he'd ever been. It was her phone number

Jang Ho always helped everyone in need, even if he was wasting his time, being late to classes or just helping an old lady cross the street.
One night when he went to do some cardio outside, he saw something really bright in the sky coming directly towards him, it was a STAR, big as a planet. In a blink moment, the star crushed him, falling right on him, creating a big crater.
That night, Jang Ho became someone else... or something else.
