When my brother, Sol, came home from South Korea, my family hosted Hee Jung, a student from Seoul.
I thought that she would be excited to play basketball with me.
But everything changed when she saw me playing Drill, a computer game where you mine minerals.
From then on, Hee Jung and I played all kinds of games, from massive online games to classic board games to cheesy smartphone puzzles.
On her last day, Hee Jung pulled me aside while Dad loaded her suitcases into the car.
“Trey, I made a game for you,” she said.
*“I hid a special prize, and I’ll give you clues to find it. I’ll email you the first clue when I get back to Seoul,”
