Family is frustrating. Especially when you're 12 years old and you've achieved something and they want to gush all over you for it.
Mink's parents had moved he and his sister to the states after a while and that was where he'd truly broken into child stardom. He was dooming himself to a life of growing up on the television for all to see but all he could think was that he was living his dream. Of course even for a child his dream hadn't gotten off the ground quite the way he wanted, he had to fight like everyone else for a job. At least in America he was a cute angel faced Asian trinket. His parents hated it. He didn't even realize.
He wasn't the most sharp tack in the family box but he was smart enough at his age to have selective vision about what happened in his life. Maybe he didn't realize he was being objectified as an 'exotic factor' because he didn't want to see it. It would just mess up the feeling that he finally made it. The best part about it was his sister. He loved her dearly, they were thick as thieves and she couldn't be more proud of him.
She was the one that convinced him to go along with the trip home to Korea to see the family that was now walking around pinching his face and asking him to sign things that didn't need to be signed like food. His family had always been exuberant at best.
Finally after entertaining the family with his well practiced public kindness he retired to the guest room where he'd be sleeping to sit down for a minute and have a minute alone. He wondered where his sister was vaguely but not enough to go and find her. She would find him eventually.
