[July 5, 2016]

 I shuffled off the Cathy Pacific plane, eyes tearing up from yawning. The 4 hours plane ride was tiring, though I slept for most of the time. I was in Seoul for a short exchange program. I was just here for the summer, from July to August. 

I walked out of the airport after grabbing my pastel purple luggage. The sun was starting to set and the view was amazing. I look around for the bus that was suppose to take pick the exchange students up. After a few minutes of wandering and searching I find the big white bus and board it. I sit my self near the back, where it was rather empty. My suitcase and backpack took one seat while I sat on the other. The bus's engine start when a few more students shuffle in, one settling across the aisle from my seat. I did not see and did not look over to see who settled in that seat. I blast my music using my Samsung Levels as the bus drives us to Seoul National University. 

I take off my head phones as the bus pulls to a stop. I grab my belongings and leave the bus, not once looking back.

The exchange students gather at the foyer of the dorms, waiting to receive their keys to the dorm they were assigned. 

The moment I got my information package I left the foyer to my designated dorm. I flop onto a random bed and lay there for a few minutes waiting for my roommate to show up. After a couple more minutes I figured that she'll come another day, so I got up to take a shower. Around 15 minutes later I walk out of the shower and realized something, I forgot to bring clothes. I wrap my self with my light pink towel and walked out of the bathroom. I was sorting through my clothes on my bed when the room door opened, I didn't react to the door thinking it might've been my roommate. When I finally grabbed the outift I wanted and turned I was shocked, or embarassed, or maybe it was horrified. At the door was a girl with wavy brown hair(who I assume was my roommate) and a guy with blonde hair. I quickly ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. 

10 minutes later, I walk out of the bathroom in white jean shorts and a sea blue translucent t-shirt. The boy was still here. Infact he was on my bed.

"Blonde, get off my bed." 

He doesn't respond as he laid there with headphones blasting. Wait, wait, wait, rewind, 

"Are those my headphones?"

The blonde continues to bob his head to the beat. Ugh, he was getting on my nerves. 

I grab my phone from beside him and walk out the door, leaving the blonde inside by himself. (My roommate disappeared)

I wandered the familiar streets of Seoul, searching for a peticular guy. When I can't find him I bring out my phone and text him through LINE chat.

\ I'm here, where are you? \

\ 3rd floor, Aries Cafe \

\ kk~ \

I walk up to the said floor and head to the mentioned cafe. 

I sat down across my friend and was handed a milk tea with white pearls or tapioca. I look up to see who handed me the bubble tea and was shocked to see who it was.

"BLONDE?"

"Blonde?" asked my friend, Yugyeom.

"Mark, Heiyi."

"What?" Yugyeom asked confused.

"Nothing, wasup Yugyeom, why are you with her?"

"Oh, uh Mark hyung, this is my friend, she's from Hong Kong." 

"Mmm I know, Heiyi Wang, often addresses herself as September."

"What?" I asked in disbelief, how did Yugyeom know Blonde.

"She's a year older than you, 20 this year, currently 19, but birthday is cmoing up in September."

"What the ?" Yugyeom and I scream at the same time. 

"F-reak much?" I asked

"No, I just read your information sheet."

Well, what a creep.

"How did you even get in?"

"Oh, your dormmate came around and let me in before getting called to the foyer." he coolly replies

Oh my god, creep alert.

"Uh yeah, bye." I say streching my e for bye.

I walk out with Yugyeom tailling behind. I then stroll to food stall we often went to. Yugyeom ordered a bimbap and I ordered two servings of fried beef with rice. Yugyeom gave me accusing eyes when I ordered two servings. I brushed him off like it was nothing, though I did stutter a bit. His order was finished first so he left with his take out first. Shortly after he left my take out was also finished and I left, walking through the now dark streets. I was near the dorms when I accidentally bumped into someone. 

"Oof" the person let out.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry." I blurted in Chinese, before switching to English and then realizing I was in Korea, therefore changing to Korean.

"You alright?" a concerned voice asked.

 "Huh? Uh y-yeah." 

"Really, why are you stuttering?" he asked as he grabbed my hand to lead me somewhere.

We ended up in his dorm room. Sitting on his bed.

"Hey, bubble tea, you didn't get to finish your other one." he shyly said while rubbing his nape. 

The atmosphere got real awkward.

"Uh, for you.." I muttered as I place the rice infront of him.

He then smiled widely and ate contently.

Without me knowing a smile strecthes across my face too.
