Love.

Some people say, with such exaggeration, adoration painted in their eyes, that love is what resembles life; that love makes the world go round. With the jazzy vibrations of their larynx as they voiced out those lovey dovey filled words, love seemed to be stated as a good guy despite the crimes it has from within.

But fuck it, I don't believe in love anymore.

You know, life is full of ups and downs, you know the usual duality of life. Love technically takes you to another world but no one can guarantee its duration, or how sturdy is this love people are talking about.

So here I am, facing the consequence for being a sucker of love in the past. And being bitter to its world and the factors that surround it.

Sitting on a nearby bench with hot chocolate on my right hand, I stared at the calm movement of the waters of the Han River. Inhaling the smell of nature on a busy afternoon in Seoul, I automatically found myself smiling, and thought of another thought once again.

Life isn't so bad after all. You will have days when you feel like life is a fucked up jerk who beats you up endlessly, leaving you screaming for help and mercy. But, there will also be days when life is a sugar daddy who keeps on spoiling you with good times.

Believe me, in my vocabulary, good times are not as surprising and exciting anymore.

Taking a sip from my hot chocolate, which obviously burnt my tongue in the process with such careless taste, I began to reminisce about the days when I first came to South Korea from Taiwan. I spent almost every day here, sitting and enjoying self love, despite having a hard time at work because of the language barrier. Nevertheless, I got the hang of it after a little while.

Having a relationship was never my priority when I arrived here in this country. I just wanted to escape from reality for a while.

Love's definition in my vocabulary was extremely blank until this woman came to write the words herself to fill it up.

I grabbed my phone and opened the group chat where my friends and I usually talk.

SHUHUA BEST GIRL, MIYEON STINKY

Song Yuqi

Kim Minnie

Jeon Soyeon

Cho Miyeon

The things we do for you, Yeh Shuhua.

Yeh Shuhua

I love you all.

Closing my phone, I finished the contents of my hot chocolate, though it was easier for me to do so because it wasn't hot anymore. These girls whom I was talking to earlier are my constants, my rocks, my anchors. They never fail to disappoint me in any way possible.

But, they also knew what I meant by freeing their week. It's time, anyway.

And now, we're going on an adventure.
