It was after Christmas. And then another year pulled through. It was eventually 2022. Fasting forward to mid-April, nearly May, Bianca's school year had been active and happy.

This year went by so fast, she thought, I had never thought that school's in Korea would still have westernized culture within.

Although, she still missed England. A lot. London was her heart and home. But unfortunately, her father had died and her mother took up a job all of the way in Seoul. So, Bianca had to say goodbye to all of the things that she had close to her dearly and move away.

Meanwhile, Bianca was at home, when Bahiyyih suddenly called her.

"Hello?" Bianca answered.

"Bianca," said Bahiyyih, "At school, they are having a traditional Korean event. I want so much for you to attend. We can go together!"

"Is it like the Japanese one?"

"It is similar, however, it is more on the Korean side."

Bianca thought for a moment.

I did see her with Jake that time. But that was also the time of my dream! I shouldn't have cried so much, either.

"'Kay, I'll be there."

"Cool! I'll send you the address to rent a hanbok, alright?"

"Is that the traditional dress in the country?"

"Yup! Very pretty designs, those dresses have. See you then!"

"Okay, buh-bye."

Bianca then met Bahiyyih at the street rental warehouse, where tourists rent a hanbok. Of course, the traditional ones were way more expensive than the others. Bianca was fazed.

Honestly, it would be better if rentals were more expensive than the traditional ones.

But the designs were beautiful and colorful. That was what Bianca loved about them. But sadly, the pink and white one that she was eyeing on was too expensive.

But as her best friend, Bahiyyih found the perfect, and affordable, one. It was in pink and a blue shade that Bianca adored.

She tried it on.

A perfect fit!

While at the festival, Bahiyyih and Bianca, the best friends they were, did most of the shopping and the foodies. But while they were on their way to the decorated bridge, they spotted Jake and Jungwon also dressed traditionally.

Bianca blushed at the seams.

"What's the matter?" asked Bahiyyih.

"He's so beautiful!" Bianca mumbled aloud.

Bahiyyih crushed on Jungwon and Bianca crushed on Jake. But Bianca never knew about Bahiyyih's crush.

"Do you like Jungwon?" asked Bianca.

"Even if I didn't, he is so adorable!" Bahiyyih squealed.

They then walked away. However, it was nearly impossible to forget about the boys. Everywhere they went, the thought of the boys being there would not go away.

"What should we do?" Bianca asked, "I wasn't planning on hanging out with anybody else."

"We could hang out with them, as if we were old friends of theirs."

But the girls blushed more.

Bahiyyih and Bianca continued celebrating the event at the city park. When they went their separate ways, since they had school tomorrow, Jake caught up with her halfway home.

"Bianca," he hollered.

Bianca turned around and waited for Jake to advance beside her.

"I thought I saw you with Bahiyyih earlier tonight. Or this afternoon, since it began during sunset."

"You did?" asked Bianca.

"Mm-hm," said Jake, "The fact is, I wanted to join you. But of course, you would feel flustered and shy about it. So I thought that I would let you have your day and me and Jungwon would have ours."

Bianca nodded.

"Well," she said, "I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" asked Jake, "It's our S
