Ara could smell the “excitement” perfume tickling her nose coming from Yuri, her beloved cousin. “Grin a little more and I swear your face going to be ripped in half.” She wasn’t teasing as she dragged her feet and following her cousin’s steps towards the airport’s boarding area.

It's a pity that she doesn't share the excitement her cousin was feeling. Her cousin who spent only 2 weeks in the Philippines was literally beaming bidding the place goodbye...while here she was trying to fight off the increasing strange emotions reigning her chest.

She couldn’t believe that she’s finally bidding this little country goodbye. Living in the remotest area in the Philippines was definitely a haven for her. No Korean celebrity sightings or even news that distracted her from finishing her college. People were not that updated in K-Pop scene which she found it refreshing. They do have their own local actors and actresses but never had they spent their day gushing about it.

Yup, so unlike most of her friends in Seoul.

So unlike the life she left in Seoul.

Yuri sat on the empty seat in the international boarding area and glanced at her just to stick her tongue out.

Ara rolled her eyes in response and sat beside her trying to make herself comfortable before pulling out the thick brown notebook and pen.

Dear Diary...

"What's life be waiting for an ex-stalker fan like me? Yup, I readily admit that I am stalker fan and not an anti-fan like other thought I was. Wait--it's EX. Please take note of the difference.

She took a deep breath and paused as she shifted the iPod in her sweater pocket.

She continued...

But still isn’t going back to Seoul too early for me?

I mean, isn't 5 years not enough for them to actually be sure that I moved on?

Moved on.

God, isn’t it kind of pathetic for me to even use that word?

The question should be...are the people involved moved on? Did they forgot everything I did?

She sighed.

What the heck was she thinking?

She smacked her forehead.

She’s 20 years old. She knew people won't recognize her.

They won't, right?
