Over You

Chapter 1

On the Morning May 29, 2021, 6:00 a.m, My 3rd month here in Seoul, I stepped outside my house and surveyed a morning sky. I notice the girl walking the pavement, since the day I moved in I saw her over twice? Thrice? A weak  with her earpods on, I usually saw her with a jogging attire, on my judgement she came back from her jogged. For a long time, neither of us said a word to each other, as what I suspect were on the same age.

May skies were clear, I close my eyes to feel the temperature hovering in a low seventies with just enough for the breeze to inhale the fresh flower scent and fresh air.

"ahhhhh! Fresh air and Lilies what a great day to start for a trekking" I said in a low volume voice, I open my eyes to my surpise the girl is now already in my front. "Omayghadt! you startled me" while massaging to my chest

"I'm sorry, it's not my intention to scare you. And by the way it's not fresh air you're inhaling with, Its fine dust" she chuckle and pause for a second and continue to speak "my apologies it's very rude of me to  interrupt you and not properly introduce myself" she politely said. " I'm Park Chaeyoung" she smile and lends her hand for a shakehands.

To address her by her appearance she's really pretty, her blonde hair suits her well, and for my remark she has this sweet and gentle voice that can make you relax when you're too stress. I was interrupted in my thoughts as she spoke again.

"and you are?"

I shake my head to get back in my senses "oh, Lalisa, Lalisa Manoban" and shakes her hand with a smile.

"correct me if I'm wrong; as far as I remember you moved in last 3 months ago?"

and she's too little talkative as well not in an obnoxious way but rather in a friendly way, I chuckled in my thought.

"yes, I moved in here 3 months ago, you seem quite observant" I retort

"well its not like that, but I do live here aswell" as she pointed her House, she fake a cough and glance on our hands that's still clinging to each other

"crap!" I thought. I never notice that i'm still holding her hand, I withdraw my hand from holding. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice" and put my hand behind the back of my head from embarrasment and pull my hair gently to let out my frustration.

"it's okay, you seem pre occucupied, by the way I Didn't welcome you propely; Welcome to Grand Caprice Subdivision Lalisa!" she said with a smile on her face and lift her hands like throwing a confetti.

I smiled on her sudden action and thanked her for welcoming me. She bid her Goodbye and walked towards their house, I  stayed where I stand as my eyes followed Chaeng until she's out of my sight as she pass through their gate.

I'm on my way to Bukhansan Mountain, I decided to go for a trek today since I dont want to bury myself in the house and reminiscing the Happy memories I left in Thailand which is Ironic where  my Happy memories is now making me feel sad. Dont get me wrong I just miss Thailand and the people I left there which is to happen that make me feel sad? Or rather lonely. It's better to recreate than to feel sorry and sad right?

I am now in Buldwang Station 6 where the hiking begins here to Bukhansang mountain but before the Trekking start we undergo of Precautionary measure of do's and don'ts during the trek. They said that Bukhansang Mountain is only famous for Baekgundae Peak. Which is above 840m above sea level, but there is more to see than Baekundae peak. They said that There are multiple peak here Beginning Jokduribong peak, Hyangrodobong peak, and Munsulobong peak.

I warm up myself to relax my muscles and not to have body malaise the next morning. The guide cue us that we will start our trekking within 5 minutes, so I prepare my necessary equipment for the trekking, after 5 minutes we started to hike, our first destination is the Jokduribong Peak.

Trekking to Jokduribong is not easy to climb because the terrain of the mountain is not flat and paved, it is quite rocky and the incline is quite steep. But I still manage not to get injured and finished it. We stop at Jokduribong for 30 mins. To have a break.

"Wow I never believe I will pass the first peak" the man beside me randomly said.

I look at him while he's taking a picture of the beautiful scenery.

"it's rude to stare at someone you know" the man complain and look back at me.

I look away from embarrassment.

I can see at my peripheral eye that he's starring at me. "it's rude to stare at someone you know" I mimic his words and we smile on each other.

" hi, I'm Jungkook" as he reach his hand for a shakehands

" Lisa" I shortly replied And accept his hand.

The man spoke again "Are you alone?"

I dont usually exchange conversation with strangers but I think he's a nice guy, still I dont wanna let my guard down. So I just give him a nod.

"how long have you started trekking? " he question me again but he's looking in the cliff. Damn! this guy is kinda persuasive. Brrruuuuhhh! Can't you feel the signal I dont wanna talk to anybody.

"it's been awhile now" Still answer him to not look to be rude. And click my shutter botton to capture the beautiful view.

He heave a deep sigh and start talking AGAIN "I miss my Bestfriend so much, we often trek to different mountains and Bukhansan mountain is one of our bucket list. We trek to find peace, the city is such a cruel place for us." He opened his water bottle to drink and look at me "how about you? Why do you trek?"

As I about to reply the guide signal us that we will now continue our trek, so I just give him a smile and start walking. The next peak Is the Hyangrobong, compared to Jokduribong the walk to Hyangrobong is much easier. After 30 mins walked we accomplish the 2nd peak. The Landscape in Hyangrobong is extraordinary you can pick nick here or propose to someone, kneeling down with one foot  and ask for her hand and wait for her to say yes with a beautiful background, how romantic is that as I smiled in my thought. The guide give us 10 mins break to take some pictures before we proceed to the next mountain. 10 minutes had passed and the guide alert us that we will now move to the next peak.

Munsulbong peak the path becomes difficult again, unlike the other mountain; going to Munsulbong is kinda extreme as you have to hold on to the cables secured into the rocks when you climb up. We  reached the peak of Munsulbong and my jaw drop from the alluring view, Seoul is kinda tiny from Munsulbong view. I sit down for a while to take rest and start grabbing my camera to take a picture. I take many worthy photos for my insta. After an hour of spending in the peak, the guide signal us that we will now make our way to back down the mountain.

I'm now heading home when suddenly my stomach start growling. I forgot I didn't eat something from the walked. So I decided to stop in a convenient store.

I bump on the door when someone pushed  it. "Damnit!" I exhale in a low voice for complain and massage my temple. Why push when outside the store sign says "push" what a stupid.

"You're fault" I'm about to complain when she started running. That B--- I didn't continue 'cause its kinda rude to judge someone by the simple mistake but it's not right also that she didn't even apologize and not acknowledging her fault. I just shrug it off and push the door to enter the convenient store, I make my way to the cubicle where the sandwhiches are and grab two sandwhiches. I pay the cashier and went through the door I'm about to open it when I saw the door sign "push" WHAT THE! Its a double purpose door after all! Thank Goodness I didn't judge her Haha. See? Readers? You should be proud of me eehhheee!!

Home Finally! I head to my room to prepare myself to take a bath, I grab my bathrobe and towel and enter the bathroom, after taking a bath I dried myself off and wore my favorite nightgown, I grab my Camera and laptop from my backpack and climb to bed. Leaning my back on the headboard while scanning the picture I suddenly saw a familiar face

"I'm sure a saw her, but I can't remember where and when" as I wander, I move on the next picture when I suddenly felt sleepy. I put my camera and laptop in lamp table and take a sleep.
