3 Years Ago

Butterfly

I found myself lost at the Incheon International Airport the soon as I got my luggage and made my way outside. I understand Korean but I rarely come to South Korea and especially on my own. My sister was very specific on what to do. She told me to always use my phone for GPS. Never talk to strangers. And when asking for directions ask someone who is of authority. My mom was more worried if I can make it pass the airport but that was just mom. She always gets random heart attacks at simple things that her daughters can manage. 

Spring. The breeze was cold but tolerable. The sky was shining and the flowers had bloom already. I took a couple of photographs before I took my phone and ask for directions. It was easy after all. All I had to do is to ride this bus that directs to Seoul. After which I will go find my aunt's house. This is a mission impossible for me. I am not good with directions... at all. 

With my bag, I tried to search for the bus that will take me to my destination but with my luck and my ability to follow directions, this may be a long day for me. Sigh. With more unfortunate results, I found myself walking through an empty corridor. I looked at the long thick walls that surrounds it. So this must be the part of the airport that most people don't pass. Great. Just great. This may mean I am lost and I need to retrace my route again. Walking backwards I suddenly bumped into someone else where we both dropped the things on our hands. 

"OOOWWWW!!!!" i cried. This person is blind! Does he know I was walking in front of him?--- or err, backwards??? Whatever! It doesn't matter. I looked at the person I bumped into and just when I was about to say my long speech about watching his way, i stopped. I froze. My eyes widened at the sight of the guy. He's...... uhm..... 

"I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry" he said while fixing his shades and making sure that half of his face is covered by his scarf.

"What?!" my voice raised. He immediately hushed me though. "Oh my god~!" he must be kidding me right now. 

"No one should know I'm here. We're in a tight schedule" he said as his head looked around. I have no idea what he's doing exactly but he should just stop it. However, I'm not going to argue over this. I'm a tourist here and he looks like he needed to poop somewhere else. We both grabbed our stuff that was one the floor and didn't say much after that. He needed to be somewhere else and I needed to find my bus. As i nearly reached the ending of the empty corridor a girl from one corner--- who had crazy eyes and was holding a dslr are screamed "There's Taemin oppa!!!!!" and then she's followed by a bunch of more screaming girls. 

Confused to who they were after, I once again froze in place as these girls attacked the hallway. Taemin? I thought to myself. Were those girls after that guy who had the shades? I didn't give much thought into it. 

Eventually i found my bus ride to Seoul and got to meet up with my aunt in Gangnam. She lives alone and had a lot of space for me to live for awhile. She works from 5pm to 3am and when she comes home from work, she'd be asleep the whole day. I don't know much about her but I know she's a teacher or a coach. I'm not too sure though. I never really asked her nor mom.

I started to unpack my things, it's not much since I know that I'd probably shop for clothes here anyway. I took my phone to call my mom. She must be dying to know how my day went. As I unlocked my phone, i was surprised. THIS IS NOT MY PHONE!!! Not my wallpaper! Not my contacts! Not my messages! I went through the contacts first and foremost. it had weird names that I know no one of. Who the hell is 'manager hyung'? I HAVE A MANAGER--- Then it hit me!

Back at the airport I bumped into someone who was --- for argument's sake--- was Taemin. We both took what was ours on the floor and ----- "OH MY GOD!!!!!!" I gasped! This is his phone. You have got to be kidding me with this. We had the same black phone. "Does he know he has MY phone?" i whispered. How will I find this guy anyway? This is insane!

Common sense led me to calling this Manager hyung person. I called it.

"Oh Taemin~a! why?" a much older person answered the phone.

"Uhmmm.... " i couldn't bring myself to answer it. What should I say??!?!!?!?!?! Then all of a sudden from the background, i heard people.

"Kibum, why is Taemin calling me?" was the conversation I heard.

"He's on the phone right? Try asking him why" then i heard laughter over the phone.

"He's not answering though"

"Maybe he's dialing you."

"Maybe?"

- - - 

I'm getting out of my mind right now!!! Why oh why did i pass that corridor in the first place? 

As hours passed by, I stared at the phone, hoping that someone would call so I can just ask them on where i can find this Taemin person. Ring phone... ring!!!

And it did-- and to my surprise with MY number on it! "Oh so now he knows we changed phones!" I immediately answered it.

"YA! Give me back my phone!" an irritated Taemin answered. I rolled my eyes.

"Give me back MY phone!" I told him off.

"I understand you're a fan but please do not make anything public. My company has the right to sue you, you know. Where are you right now?"

SUE ME???? Sue me to something I haven't done. Is this some kind of prank? 

"I'll meet you then" I breathe deeply as I massaged my temples. First day in Seoul and this happens. Heck all I need is my phone back. I have my music in there, pictures, contacts, everything. I'm not even going to ask about why this person is acting so high and mighty of himself. As soon as he gave me the address, I rushed down to where it was. 

I arrived at the place.

It was like an abandoned park. The swings were a bit old but the place still had some brightness to it. The breeze is nice and refreshing. This really feels nice. I felt happy and was about to skip for joy when out of nowhere, I saw him....................... getting off a big van.

My eyebrows furrowed as I walked up to him. He looked around and hid himself behind this old oak tree. Ugh. This guy has issues. He dresses nicely and has those shades. Get off in a car that is tinted back. Has screaming girls follow after him. He must be like a model or something.

"Hand it over" I said.

"I'll hand it over if you hand it over" he replied.

"Look! i had a rough day and I need to call my mom with that phone. Here" I took out his phone and gave it to him. 

"You didn't put anything on the internet have you?" he looked at me as he go through his phone.

"Nope. I'm no fan of yours" I remembered him clearly say that on the phone.

So that was it. I had my phone back and he had his back. Goodbye Taemin the model. Just as I turned, he grabbed me by my arm. I looked at him, confused.

"Not a fan?" he sound as confused as I looked. "You don't know who I am?"

"Nope" i immediately replied. "I'm not going to stick around too. So have fun with your phone" tshhhh.

I didn't know his thoughts exactly but somewhere between the dropping of his jaw and his confused expression, I think he thought I was insane for not knowing him.
