The weather outside the dimly lighted shuttle bus was gusty, the girls were all on their devices or fast asleep. Seo-jun had to admit that even though autumn was really beautiful in Seoul, autumn here felt like stepping into a different world. She'd look out the window placing her hand on the chilled glass, it had left a handprint there due to the condensation. The trees danced in the wind while piles and piles of red and orange leaves piled at the sides of the road. It'd rained earlier in the morning, leaving the road damp and the air cool. Seo-jun would check Google Maps, 5 minutes left to their destination.

"Girls, wake up!" She'd shake Alyssa and Charlotte awake violently. When she was younger, her Eomma (mother) used to wake her up for school like that. She'd remember suddenly jolting awake, as her feet seemed to move on her own. She could taste the salty yet herbal flavour of seaweed soup that her mother used to boil for her every morning, god she missed those days.
Charlotte jolted out of sleep, blinking her eyes. She'd put her hair in a claw clip before straightening her jacket. "Are we there yet?" She asked, her voice husky.
"Eunnie, you sound like a child." Seo-jun told her off unnecessarily, but she did it anyway. "We're almost there." She continued while Charlotte rolled her eyes, whipping out her phone.
Alyssa quickly opened her phone camera to check on her hair. She'd tied her hair into two pigtails today neatly, it would have been a pain in the ass if her hair got messed up. She looked into her phone camera, tilting her head left and right, anxiously checking for any loose strands.
