I Found You When I Was Lost

Chapter 1

" Are you crazy? Why do you need so many clothes for a 10 day trip?! It's not like we're gonna get settled there?" Alishka shouted at the top of her voice, glaring at me.

" It's not a lot. I need backup outfits too. We're going on a vacation after so long. I want to look put together" I said trying to justify my overpacking.

" You literally have 5 bags just for yourself. You are way above the permitted baggage weight limit. And then you'll embarrass me during the check in trying to get it all in. I'm not going to wait for you there." Alishka complained. Her whining and complaining never ends.

" OK fine! I'll take some stuff out and if there's a problem I'll handle it. You can just leave me there. Is that Okay?" I said giving up on this argument cause I knew there's no winning this.

" Yeah fine whatever..." Alishka mumbled under her breath and stomped out the room.

I got back to packing but after a while got tired and plopped myself on the pile of clothes on top of my bed too tired to even clear that up. Looking up at the ceiling I got lost in my trail of thoughts.

" So finally Y/N the day has come. You're finally free to do whatever you want but it feels weird though. Im 23 and I've never been truly free in my life. There were always a lot of things going on in my life. Whether it was being a good student in school or enduring the pains and stress of med school or working my ass off on my internship, there was always something or the other thing going on. My mind and my body were always pre-occupied. I had no time to think about me or about the things I want to do. I used to always look at those people who set sail on self exploratory journeys, travelling and you know just trying to figure out who they are and be in awe of their courage ; thinking how I wished to do the same but always brushed away the thought cause I had no time. I hardly got time to sleep even for that matter but I had promised myself that I will do this one day, I owe it to myself. To do things I love, to try new things, to just have an wholesome experience however it might be; good or bad it doesn't matter. I need to figure out who I am as an individual. Although those years of hard work have paid off and I am a Doctor now but still there's still a part of me that feels empty, missing. So now that I'm finally free of my responsibilities and have finally accomplished something I can now focus on myself and try to find that missing piece of me. Maybe this trip is the answer to it." Just as I was lost in my trail of thought my bedroom door flung open.

" You still haven't finished packing? What are you doing lying down on your clothes. You have a flight to catch tomorrow early morning." My mom said while barging into the room with a couple more of my clothes neatly folded  in her hands.

" Yeah maa. I'm done packing finally." I said dismissively.

" Here. Keep these warm clothes too. It'll be cold out in Seoul." My mom said whilst handing over the clothes in her hands.

" Maa It's summer in Seoul right now. I'll be fine." I said whining over packing those coats in too cause there was no space left in my luggage now.

" Shut up and stop whining. Do as I say. It'll get cold and then you'll get sick there. Do you really want that now." My mom said.

"No" I shake my head.

" Good then. Now pack this up and go to bed love. You have to be up in 5 hours now." She got up and kissed me on the forehead " I love you baby. Stay safe okay" She said smiling at me.

" I love you too maa. I promise" I said smiling back at her.

I got ready for bed. I lay down on the bed but sleep won't come easily to me so I thought of watching an episode of K- drama, maybe that might help. I just love K- dramas. The way they portray the story, their settings, their culture is just so aesthetically pleasing. Everything is so pretty. I always wanted to be a part of that. That's one of the major reason I chose to travel first to Seoul. My sister Alishka like me loves K- drama too. We used to binge watch K- dramas night after night. We decided that whenever we get the time we'll go to Seoul together and the time finally has come. I'm so excited.

I dozed off  watching the K-drama.

Author's Note:
This is my first story. The first few chapters are small as I was still trying to figure out the backdrop of the story. This story is made keeping Indian BTS A.R.M.Y in mind cause I couldn't find many stories relatable to Indian BTS A.R.M.Y. I've tried to make it the reader's POV. Feel free to change places/ name etc suitable to your own country and choice for a wholesome experience. I hope you like it. Do give your honest feedback.
Thank you.
