Chapter 1: Hello Korea University
Oasis in the Clouds [Season 1]Ep 1: Hello Korea University!
##In Front of Suwon Station##
*The weather is nice and cold, fitting for the winter, as snowflakes make their way onto the ground. People at the station all are wearing their winter clothing, rubbing their hands together to stay warm. In the midst of the people moving into the station, Nayeon and her parents are talking, Nayeon's parents holding onto their daughter's hand with a firm grasp.*
Nayeon's Mom "Our daughter is finally going to university! And Korea University too! This is still shocking to me... I will miss our daughter! (With tears in her eyes)"
Nayeon "Mom… why are you crying again...”
There she goes again... it’s been forever ago since I got my acceptance letter, why is she still tearing up?
Nayeon's Dad "(Whilst holding his own tears) Don’t get discouraged even if where you are going is a big city. Study hard, make some friends, and live a little!"
Oh my god... why is dad like that too now?
Nayeon “(Keeping a smile on her face) You make it seem like I am graduating university or something~ It's getting cold mom and dad, you should start heading home~"
+Nayeon lets go of her parents hands, and reaches for her suitcase. She takes one step at a time, walking into the station+
Korea University... it is Korea's most elite university... Who would have thought that I would have gotten accepted? Sacrificed all of my youth… always studying… all left behind to go there... to think that I am really going to be a student there... You are strong Lim Nayeon.
+Nayeon walks a few more steps, but turns around to look at her parents one more time. Her parents, tearing up, looks at their daughter's back, proud as ever+
Nayeon’s Dad "Go~ go in, it's getting cold! (As he smiles and waves)"
Nayeon’s Mom "Careful Nayeon~ always contact me if you need anything!"
+Nayeon stands there frozen, looking at her parents+
I guess I will be free for once...! Living on my own without mom and dad... no one to nag at me for not doing homework.. no one to tell me that I dressed too cold for the weather...No mom or dad to rely on...
+Nayeon suddenly runs back and hugs her parents for the last time+
Nayeon "(with tears in her eyes) Mom...dad... please be well... I will miss you."
To be honest, I’m unconfident to live without my parents...
##Inside the train##
I finally got on the train after a tearful goodbye... I have to find my seat quickly, but how will I do that, when I never rode a train before? I never even left Suwon until now.
+Nayeon drags her suitcase, the size of her body, down the aisle+
Good lord what the heck did I pack in here…
Where is my seat…?
Hmm…
95A. There it is.
+Nayeon gathers all of the strength to lift her suitcase to put it away, but it does not end with a success+
How do they expect short people to put their luggage away? Do you have to be over 180cm to do so?
And I’m not even THAT short!
Nayeon "UGH"
Oh my god… Should I just put this under my seat?
+While Nayeon is busy making a decision about what to do with her luggage, someone approaches her from the back, and helps her put her luggage away. Surprised, she turns back to see a handsome boy, with slightly tanned skin, puppy dog eyes, sharp nose look at her+
Nayeon (About to have a heart attack) Oh my god…
Oh my god! Is he a celebrity? I've never seen anyone that looks like this in Suwon.
Nayeon "Thank you... (Bobbing her head in thanks)"
+Nayeon sits down after thanking the boy, only to find him sitting next to her+
Oh my god, I wonder why he is sitting here…
Is he 95B??
Am I going to be on this train, sitting beside this guy,
for more than 1 hour??
Is this a sign from God???
??? "I see that our seats are next to each other! (Smiles)"
Nayeon "Haha... Yeah, how about that..."
Ugh. Im Nayeon! You are something else!
Even if God gives you this golden chance,
you can’t make out of it???
Say something, for Christ’s sake!
??? "Are you going somewhere? (Smiling brightly)"
Nayeon "Huh? (Face turning red) Ye-yeah... Haha..."
Huh? What do you mean huh? No you are going somewhere! Please think for once!
??? "Haha...."
This is why you are forever alone, Lim Nayeon!
This handsome boy is politely making conversation with you, and you can’t do ! What is life...?
+Nayeon, to avoid the awkwardness, looks out the window, and puts on her headphones, turning on "Park Ji Yoon - Precious Love"+
Listening to songs always relaxes me...
+The train suddenly passes by a tunnel, in which Nayeon looking at the window, can clearly see the reflection of the passenger next to her, looking at her, holding in his laughter+
Why is he laughing?
+Nayeon turns back and looks at the boy next to her, and as the boy meets eyes with Nayeon. He bursts out laughing. Nayeon, getting frustrated, pauses her music, and takes the headphones out of her ears+
Nayeon "Excuse me, are you laughing at me?"
+The boy, holding in his laughter yet again, nods his head+
Nayeon "Why are you laughing at someone's face?"
??? "Im not laughing at your face, Im-"
Nayeon "Is being handsome everything? Why do you get to laugh at other's faces?"
??? "(eyes widening) huh??"
Huh? What-what did I just say?
Nayeon "(pretending like nothing happened) what? What is it? Why did you laugh at me?"
+The boy points at Nayeon's phone+
Nayeon "My phone? What's wrong with-?"
Oh my god, is he going to ask me for my number? Is the kind of stuff I read on the internet happening to me right now?
??? “Your..."
Nayeon: (with expectation)?”
??? "Your headphones aren’t plugged into your phone."
Nayeon "What?"
+Nayeon looks at her phone and sees the headphone unplugged from her phone+
What? Why is this...? Then was I listening to this song on full volume?????
Nayeon "Ugh… kill me now…”
+Nayeon embarrassed, lowers her head, and turns her body towards the window, and her back towards the handsome boy+
??? "LOLOLOLOL"
Nayeon "Ugh.... (Covering her head)"
??? "Hey, what's your name?"
Why is he asking me for my name? Is he going to upload this story online for everyone to read? In that case... I shall never tell him my name.
+Nayeon acts as if she is snoring+
+The boy looks at Nayeon, who is acting like she is asleep, and crosses his arms+
??? "My name is Kim Taehyung."
Oh my god, why is he saying his name, do I look like I wanted to know his name???
+Taehyung keeps on staring at Nayeon, while Nayeon doesn’t move an inch+
Taehyung "Are you really sleeping?"
+Taehyung shakes his head, and puts his own headphones on and falls asleep.
//
*The train arrives at Seoul*
+Nayeon looks out the window, fascinated at what she sees. The beautiful city of Seoul, and 10 times more people than she sees at Suwon. Taehyung is still asleep+
Wow... I... I'm really here! Seoul! Will I be able to start a new life in this big city? Just thinking about it is complicated.
Taehyung "This must be your first time here."
Nayeon "(surprised) Huh?"
Taehyung "(smiling softly) did you move here? This is my home ground. HAHAHA!
Nayeon "Ha...ha..."
Why does he keep talking to me…? This is so awkward.
+People slowly take their luggage, leaving the train. However, Taehyung doesn’t move an inch and keeps looking at Nayeon+
Nayeon "Uh, you going to go anytime soon?"
Taehyung "Uh... yeah! Going..."
