INTOXICATED

Chapter 3 | Seoul

Landing in the foreign country with no one beside you is a scary thought especially when you are an introvert.
Well unfortunately for you that's the situation you found yourself in right now.

Dragging your luggage behind you as you find your way out of the airport to find a taxi.

Finally spotting a taxi, you told the driver to drop you off to Seoul Korean University.
Putting your luggage in the taxi he made his way to his seat while you sat in the backseat.

As she passed by the streets of seoul, she found it just as beautiful as she thought it would be. Smiling at the thought of herself being so brave to travel all the way to her dream place alone made her realise that her mother would have been so proud of her.
Taxi driver looked through the rare mirror to see the girl smiling in her own thoughts with shining eyes, as he tried to make a conversation "It looks like it's your first time here kid"
She looked taken aback with the sudden question, totally not expecting it from a total stranger yet she managed to compose herself and answered " Y-Yeah, It's my first time"
"Are you here for the new session of SNU?" He asked as he made a right turn.
She adjusted her purse on her lap, shifting in her seat she answered "UmM...yes"

Noticing that she must have been startled and paranoid, he said "I'm Sebastian bdw and no need to be so cautious kid, I know it's really hard to trust people nowadays and especially when you are alone in totally different country but trust me I have a daughter around your age and she's also going to SNU and you seemed like you could use some company since you would not have your family by your side for a while. Tell you what, I'm going to introduce to my daughter when we reach there, you're gonna love her even if she can be a little handful to handle and don't tell her I told you that or else she's gonna kill me later"

She crackled hearing this which made the man relieved that she was not uncomfortable anymore. It was not like he was a pervert or something, it was just because he knew the feeling of moving to a whole different country without anyone by your side. You knew no one, no one to turn to when you are sick and need comfort or no one to share your success or pain, it could get way too much for some people so he thought maybe he could help someone with something he had being through himself.

She tuck her hair behind her ears smiling as she said "I won't tell her that, I promise"

After reaching the destination, she paid the fare after he helped her with her luggage.
He told her to wait while he called his daughter. She nodded her head smiling at the man and watched as he walked a little further and dialled her daughter. In the meanwhile she fixed her hair and dress a little to look presentable when she meet his daughter and then roamed her eyes at the big entrance gate feeling excited yet nervous about her new college life.

She heard Sebastian's voice at a distance and turned around to look at him as he walked towards her with his phone still in his hand.
As he neared he told her that his daughter was coming here, just then they heard a voice yelling from a distance and looked at the direction of the voice to see a girl around same age as her yelling "Dad" as she was running towards them.
"Aish this girl, I told her countless of times not to shout whenever we meet and yet here she is doing it all over again" he murmured, yet he had a bright smile on his face seeing his daughter.
As the girl finally stopped infront of them, she had her hands on her knees as she took deep breaths trying to fill her lungs with some air.
Shaking his head he opened the door of his taxi and brought her a bottle of water. She took it from his hand as she gulped almost half of it, she then closed the cap returning it back to her father. She took a deep breath standing straight when suddenly she put her father in headlock which left the girl in shock who stood beside them.
"You ate the last piece of my chocolate cake dad, how can you do this?!" said the girl keeping her grip on her father while her father struggled to free himself.
He tried to get out of her hold as he said "I did not eat it, leave me"
His daughter tightened her grip "Hah... don't you dare lie to me. Mom told me she saw you sneeking in the kitchen last night"
"That old women! Okay okay I'm sorry. I ate your chocolate cake now leave me." He finally admitted his defeat.
She released him before he stood up properly fixing his clothes.
Seeing his daughter sulking he said "I'm gonna buy you a chocolate cake don't sulk now"
Hearing this made her smile instantly as she threatened "You better and if not I'm gonna tell mom that you called her an Old woman"
