Yoonra's POV

It's a weekend holiday so I went to a convenience store to eat ramen and kimbaps or more. When I was on the way, I saw a women.. or a girl near the vending machine. Actually the convenience store was not far from the vending machine in front of her so I shrugged it off, ignoring the girl then entered the store.

I walked to the ramen section and... damn, it's hard to choose! Carbonara samyang or Shin ramen? I grabbed the samyang with instinct and moved to kimbap section. I've noticed that the girl earlier have been spending so much time and maybe money at the vending machine.

I don't know but she doesn't look Korean so I walked to the table and went out but didn't get close to her.

"Hey, join me in here! It's better than that machine,"

I know it's odd to ask a stranger to join you and insulted the vending machine. The girl stared at me and shouted in English.

"I don't speak Korean!" then she picked up two bottle of... cultured milks and a squeeze yogurt.

I replied her, "Uh, um, follow me, will you? I'll show you what's best in Korea's convenience store," in English too.

[A/N: Although the ff is in English, just consider that they're talking in different languages. Okay?]

She walked towards me and smile, "I'm Cassandra Ling, from Hong Kong hehe,"

I led her to the table I put my foods earlier. "Oh, I'm Yoonra Choi. Nice to meet you, Cassandra! Do you want to eat?" she nodded and I led her again to the ramen aisle. Her face lightened up, "Aren't you Jackson Wang's girlfriend? Because your name sounds familiar,"

I startled a little but quickly realised that she's from Hong Kong and maybe a friend of Jackson... Or Lucas's girlfriend?

"The world is so small. I'm Lucas's girlfriend," she said that, maybe she saw I froze for few moments just now.

"It's a pleasure to meet you and what brings you here?"

"I actually wanted to surprise Lucas. Hey, these are better than in the vending machine! I don't know why I love to spend my money for a machine though. I feel funny and dumb,"

I laughed, she grabbed 2x spicy samyang and turned to me, "Are we eating here?" I nodded and was hoping she'll be faster but I forgot that I only put my foods on the table without paying so I told her I wanted to grab mine quickly and we went to the cashier to pay.

Then, we went to the free water and tea section. We both were like already closed to each other as if we have known for long. I helped her to put her ramen into the microwave and went to our table.

"If Jackson calls you later, don't tell you're with me," she pleaded. I chuckled and nodded, "but what if it's Lucas that calls you?" she looked away and pouted.

"You need to stay calm, silent and hidden!" We both laughed and microwave went 'ding!'

Both of us slurped quietly, was her tongue didn't even feel the burn? Carbonara one is a mild spicy and it's creamy, which is my fav!

"Do you stay at the hotel around here?" I asked, she nodded and swallowed her food. "Umm, if you're free, let me show you around! And of course, we avoid Lucas and Jackson hehe,"

"Yes I'm literally free! Ooh, can we go to somewhere that sells street foods?" her eyes were sparkling when she requested that. I can't resist it so I laughed, Lucas has a nice and simple standard when it comes to a girl. They are matching! Lucas is a handsome guy and this Cassandra girl is an adorable woman, she's almost the same height with me. God, I'm so insecure! I'm far from cute or even pretty.
