When I decided to accept the offer of my friend to come visit her in Japan, it kind of happened on an impulse. You know one of those strange moments in life. Like you decide to stay at home and try to be happy and make the best out of it, but in the end you complain about how boring it is. Yes, exactly, that kind of moment. I hit such a moment, when my friend I met on the internet, texted me...

“Yah, Dasha, ever thought about visiting me?”.

To be honest, we met online, about a year ago and due to things developing we noticed that we share a lot of interests together and as we chatted day by day we became really close, especially thanks to our talks about our favourite group iKON. You know those typical fangirl stuff you chat about. Things you would normally not discuss with your parents or friends...maybe, unless they are into kpop as well. Stuff like shipping your idols, having crazy fantasies about them and with them, you know all that stuff. Reading fanfictions, discussing over new videos or interviews ...yes, well the list could be endless. Anyway I just went home from my German classes, when I saw my friends message. Nanami never really tried to beat around the bush, so as I am already used to her boldness, I wasn't quiet surprised she brought up that topic. I texted her back asking her, why she would suddenly ask that when she explained me everything.

The thing was in 4 months iKON will held a concert in Osaka, which is really close to her home town and she was wondering if I would like to see them with her, since I always whined about never being able to see them live. As we chatted I got more and more friendly with the idea. I was really interested to visit Japan and getting the change to see my friend and even go watch our favourite group life, sounded really like a once in a life time chance to me. I had some savings left from my jobs and part time work so it would be enough for the flights and since Nanami offered me she would let me stay at her place, I stopped hesitating and agreed. My parents didn't seem so excited by the idea me travelling all by myself, but after I made them understand that I am already old enough they kind of gave me the okay.

And now, 4 months later and a hell lot of planing, this is how I got on the plane to Osaka. Sitting between a guy that could be my grandfather and a business woman that kept on complaining how narrow the flight seats are, I tried to stay as calm as I could thinking to finally meet with my friend personally and the change to see iKON.

I just hope everything will go well for me....
