Seoul.
That city can surprise you at every corner of it. The chaos but that systematic living way somehow works very well together. When you are a stranger, everything is a bit overwhelming in this city in the beginning. Even the doors at the apartments are different, with no keys, nothing. The people are generally so kind but they are always so careful with each other. Especially when they see a foreigner, they generally get that slight panic which looks cute sometimes. One thing that Marw realized here is that, so many people understand at least Basic English. However, they are so shy to speak, communicate and say something. They prefer to either stay quiet or they answer in Korean to you.

After 4 months of Marw living in Seoul, she had that different night with that guy, she had his number, he had her number too but they somehow lost their connection because first; she did not know how to approach a guy that she met in a really bad pub, second; maybe he doesn't want to be available for her. She remembered he acted a bit strange with those two guys with him also. She couldn't understand why he was nervous and kept looking at the guys. 
Anyway, she had one colleague at work and she was so cool all the time but she tended to keep her distance from everyone at school, she was obviously not from Korea because she did not look like Korean at all but she was not willing to socialize so much, Marw tried to talk with her couple of times but she just answered shortly and quick. She knew that she could speak English because she was teaching Graphic Design and their school was an International School so, everyone was giving classes more than %75 in English. 

In Seoul, it is easy to find friends to go for a drink, everyone wants to go to grab a drink after a long workday and it is crazy how much they can drink. However, it is sometimes hard to find someone to talk to.

Marw's School had its own 20th year anniversary this year and the school decided to take the teacher to a fancy restaurant and Marw was excited to join because she knew that that might be the night for her to become maybe a friend with Querida, the Graphic Design teacher. She just found her interesting and funny-sassy let's say. 
They told everyone to wear a bit fancy for the evening. Se kept it regular and a bit fancy and wore her Black Blazer Jacket- Dress. She remember the picture from the website how it looked on the model but she was shorter and she had bigger hips, still it looked nice on her curves.

She recognized Querida and went next to her, she was wearing a suit too with really nice color and her hair was in a tight bun.

- Hello, for a moment I thought I will be late but ah I could arrive on time. I've never been into that part of the city. 
Querida just hummed slowly. 
- It was not hard for me to find. 
- I'm so bad about finding my way, ahh I'm so hungry now!
- I hope they have something good.
- Oh, I'm sure they have something good, that place looks amazing! Maybe we should sit together, is that okay for you?
- Sure. 

They had to wait for a bit to be seated but everything was so beautiful around them so it did not bother them at all, Marw recognized that Querida was using a slightly fruity-sweet perfume and she wished that that sweet smell wouldn't be there but anyway if you want to find a friend, deal with the sweet smells. 
After half an hour, Marw recognized that Querida was actually not ignoring her most of the time, she was just an Introverted person and that's why she needed to have someone who could control the conversation, I could live with that, she thought.
