Chapter 2 - Chapter One: Hello Korea (헬로 코리아)

I stretched and twisted in the airport when we arrived in Korea. "We are finally here. Damn, I haven't stretched myself for hours, and I'm already becoming like Dad." I sighed. My dad came up to me with our bags, rolling his eyes at my sentence, "I had ordered a taxi and it has arrived, so let's get going-" he looked around, noticing my mom was nowhere to be found- "Wait, where's your mother?"

"Over here!" She yelled in Korean and rushed over to us, "I went to Paris Baguette to get us some snacks after our long-" she explained in Korean, but was caught off guard when my dad and I pulled her for a bear hug. "We love you." We both said, which earned a chuckle from my mother.

 ••••••••••••••••••••••

"Wow." I gasped as I entered our apartment. My mom walked past me, her mouth wide open in shock. "Is this the business trip you went for?" She asked with an astonished chuckle. "Yeah, I didn't want to stress you out, so I did everything myself." He grinned ear to ear, seeing my mom happy.

"Aww, you're so sweet. She cooed, walking up to him, I already knew what was going to happen next, "Nope, no, no, no, no, no, I won't be a witness to your disgusting PDA. I'm going to my room." I yelled, raising my arms, already heading for the stairs. 

I got to my room and pushed my suitcase into my closet, which was already filled with clothes. "Where do I keep the clothes in my suitcase now?" I huffed.

Leaving my closet, I went to my bed, taking a seat, I pulled out my phone from my pocket and messaged my best friend, Toby.

Me:

Hi

Toby:

Hey, are you in Korea already?

Me:

Yeah, didn't you see my IG story?

Toby:

Yeah, I did. I miss you. School is boring without you around😥

Me:

Wait, it's just 9:45 PM. 

Toby:

Time difference. It's 1:45 PM here, dummy🤦‍♂️

Me:

Oh, I forgot😅 

I blushed and hid my face in my pillow. Okay, I admit it, I do have a crush on Toby even though he's my best friend. I'm glad I moved to Korea so I won't develop strong feelings for him and still keep our friendship intact.

Toby:

Talk to you later, I'm still in class.

Me:

Oh, okay, bye.

Toby:

Bye 

I sighed and dropped my phone on my bed and went to take a shower. After my shower, I wore my PJs and ate the snack my mum brought from the airport. After eating, I watched some videos of my favorite K-pop boy group, TXT, then it suddenly hit me, "I'm in Korea. I'm in Korea! I'm finally breathing the same air as TXT Beomgyu." I squealed, getting up from my bed and jumping on it. "I hope I see him one day." I giggled before lying back on my bed, tired from my earlier outburst.

Then suddenly I burst into tears, "I miss them already." I cried, burying my face in my pillow. "I hope I make new friends here," I said before dozing off.
