How I Started Reading Goong

It's soon time for the next volume of Goong to come out. It's been over half an year since the last novel came out. Each Goong book takes quite some time to come out and right now, the series is continuing for over 22 novels. Now that I am thinking again, alot, about Goong, I remember how I first started reading Goong.

It was a long, long time ago. I was in elementary school (maybe it wasn't THAT long ago, but anyway). I visited a friend's house and we were chatting on the floor of her room. Under her desk, a series of comic books were lying around. It was Goong. At that time, there were maybe only about 5 or 6 released novels. In the beginning, I wasn't very interested. The story seemed sophomoric, unrealistic, and the characters looked awkward. But the two of us didn't know what else to do so we started reading them while munching on some snacks. Soon we were completely hooked. With a huge smile on our faces, we rolled around the floor laughing and kept flipping through the pages. It was time for me to go. Not only did I want to finish a few books that were left, I wanted to see it from the beginning again! My friend was generous enough to lend me all of her Goong books. That day, I walked out of her house, both arms full of comic books. And that was the beginning.
