A Short Drabble

Love at First Sight

This is a cute little drabble I wrote during my oh so fun classes T~T. It has Korean character's in it because that's how my friend told me to write it.

They're appearly really basic phrases, but hey. I didn't know some of em lol College is fun invest in it

There was  a nervous feeling in my stomach. It turned and shook around. I looked over the menu, unsure of what to order. My confused ____ eyes landed on a familiar word. The world around me was new. I looked up at my mother, who was struggling just like me. I put the menu down and flagged the waiter. "영어...메뉴주세요?" I asked handing himthe menus. My mother's eyes were blank as if she'd seen a ghost or something. He looked around and handed us the menus again. "없어요." He sounded apologetic. My face dropped in a frown as I reopened the menu. "어떤 맛입니까?" I ask laying the menu flat open on the table, mom just pointed to a picture. "이거." she requested. He scribbled and looked to me. He lowered himself to the menu, kneeling by the table. "무엇을 좋아?" he asked scanning over the dishes. "국수...쇠고기..." I tapped my chin. "쇠고기 과 국수...주세요." I chimed he nods and turns in the order.

After the order arrives, I smile at the waiter and pick up my chopsticks. "잘먹게습니다!" The waiter smiles softly and leaves us. After finishing the meal, mom flagged our waiter. "잘 막어 습니다." I say handing him the money. "감사합니다." the guy says accepting the payment. His hand brushed mine gently. We leave to explore the city. We wanted to do a temple stay, so we took a taxi to the _____ Palace. We got to experience a lot of the amazing cultural things. I was fitted for a 한복. It was my favorite colors _____ and _____. We had a tea ceremony, saw traditional dancing and learned about the language. I was having more fun than mom, but she was having a good time. My mind wondered back to the waiter guy. I didn't know his name, but I couldn't help but think about him. His chocolate brown eyes and soft looking blackish brown hair. The next day, we visited Lotte World. I wanted to shop, but the clothes didn't really fit me. While window shopping, I lost my mother in the crowd.

As a _____ girl I got some looks from the locals while shouting in English. While I was looking for her, I ran into the waiter from yesterday. "아, 안녕하세요." I say in shock as I notice him clutching me protectively. He smiles at me and returns the phrase. We chat for a few moments, him more than me. I learned his name Seungwoo. Mom appears with gifts and trails behind us as we walk. We exited the mall building and the sun had already set. The air was chilled and I wasn't wearing a sleeves. "추워?" Seungwoo asked I rubbed my arms and shook my head. "아니요." I say ignoring the budding chill bumps. Mom had trailed off in the one direction or another. Seungwoo took off his jacket and drapped it over my shoulders. "저기." He says softly avoiding eye contact with me. There's was light blush on his cheeks. I adjust the jean jacket over myself. "감사합니다..." I say blushing slightly and look down at the ground.

"You're welcome." He says in English. I nod and then realize the change in language. "You speak English?" I ask in total shock and confusion. A wide smile cracked across Seungwoo's face before he leaned in and kissed me.  My head started to spin and my eyes closed slowly. Is this love? Is this really how love works or is this just a dream?  Seungwoo ended the kiss and smiled at my flustered face and flushed cheeks. "괜찬아?" He asked I nodded and gripped the jacket. "넌내꺼." Seungwoo whispered grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers. "난니꺼," I say tightening the hold as we walked into the night.
