"She's Korean."

I have a new student in one of my classes. Today New Student asked, "What kind of music is this?"

"It's Korean" said The One Who Really Likes This Music.

"Korean music?" New Student said. "Why?"

"Cause she's Korean," said Cat's Eyes.

"She doesn't look Korean," New Student said, looking at me.

Cat's Eyes shook his head, somewhat dismissively. "Well, she's not, but she has a Korean fiancé and lived there for two years and does taekwondo and speaks Korean and she teaches us some Korean, too, like 모모 and 하지마. Well. Yeah," he nodded, "she's Korean."

An American educator moves moved to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers discovered that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is was a more captivating activity.

Somewhere along the way, she met a Good Man, fell in love, and ended up back in the States. Still doing taekwondo, still learning Korean...
