(NOT A) PERFECT GIRL
It was the beginning of winter in Seoul. Snow was falling down, the sky was all grey – not only the sky, everything was covered in shades of white and grey. Such a pleasant weather to stay at home, rolling up in a blanket and having a mug of warm chocolate.
You stood near a taxi counter, staring at your cell phone. You just arrived from Tokyo after 4 years of college and you expected someone to pick you up at the airport, but there was none.
