The 08:40 bus
Description
The eight-forty bus drives around Seoul each and every morning, picking up different passengers, bringing them to work and school. Kim Hyoyeon gets this bus every morning on her way to college. On one such morning, she meets a stranger whom she sits beside. And from then on, a comfortable routine begins.
Foreword
The bus door slid open, and Hyoyeon quickly moved inside, to get out of the lashing rain. She smiled to the bus driver, paid for her ticket and looked for an empty seat.
It was a Monday morning, and the bus was filled with many different people heading to work or school or college, all sleepy after the weekend.
The only seat she could spot was near the back, next to a boy she'd never seen before. Hyoyeon moved down the aisle and sat in the unoccupied seat, giving the boy a smile. He studied her for a moment before giving a gummy smile back to her.
After a moment of awkward silence, Hyoyeon turned to introduce herself.
***
Just a series of drabbles, I suppose.
Focused on Hyoyeon's interactions with strangers on a bus.
OKAY PLOT TWIST. When thinking of the next chapter I had a brainwave. And so I apologize to those who thought this would be something different. Please support this, yes?
Thanks.
And, lol, I know most of you wouldn't start randomly chatting with a stranger on a bus, but remember, this is a story, 'kay? Poster made by the fabulous Seungwon at Shut Up! I definitely recommend them!
