[CONTENTID1] Chapter 3 [/CONTENTID1]

[CONTENTID2] “Gotcha!” a voice said. She wasn’t facing him and now she was scared to turn around. She recognized the voice immediately. It was his voice. But, as he wasn’t releasing her hand and she couldn’t run away, she had to turn around.

“Hi!” she said shyly.

“Hi!” he replied, finally releasing her hand. “I’m Jimin. This is Seokjin."

“Hello, I’m Seokjin.” the other boy said, smiling brightly.

“Have we seen each other before?” Jimin asked.

*He recognized me? Even like this? Without makeup on?* She was amazed he recognized her. After 10 seconds, she finally found her words to reply to his question.

“Well, yes. Yesterday, at the airport…”

“Oh, yes!” he interrupted her. “I helped you gather your things, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” she replied, smiling shyly.

“Your eyes are pretty.” Seokjin said, lowering his posture to match hers.

“You’re so handsome.” she said, covering almost instantly after saying it.

“I asked you where you are from.” He continued.

“Oh, yes, sorry. I am from Romania, Europe.”

“Wow, so far. What made you come to Korea?”

“Jimin, you didn’t even ask for her name.” Seokjin said. “What’s you’re name? You already know ours.”

“Choi Min Jae.” she replied, smiling at the cute expression Jin had on his face.

“You have a Korean name?” Jimin asked. “How come?” he continued, curiosity visible on his face.

“I changed it before I left home. I will be living in Korea for a while, and it will be much easier for me to integrate in the society like this.”

“Oh, I see. You are staying here, at the hotel?” Seokjin asked.

“Yes, I am. Are you two staying here too or visiting someone?”

“We checked in
