“Due to the weather circumstances all flights have been cancelled.”

I thought I was still dreaming. Just before I was ready to go back to UK, away from this country and sassy idol, I got a call from the airport, that my flight has been cancelled.

“Weather? It’s just a slight drizzle!” I said rather rude to the airport staff that called me, but I guess my argument didn’t convince her, because I was probably muted by a strong thunder and even heavier and louder rain.

I called to the hotel reception to extend my stay. Great. That’s all I wanted. Stay in Seoul for couple of days more.

”He was unable to make it.” Hyo Jin answerd him. Great. So even he knows about my pathetic love life?

”He stood you up?” Hyo Shin came closer to the phone so I could hear him better and asked me directly

”Maybe he had a car accident. Those cab drivers are maniacs here. Even worse than in London.” I ignored him and continued my presumptions

”They hit som
