Falling for a Korean

1. Cherry Blossom Road.

GIMHAE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, BUSAN. My first day in South Korea, the desired place i always wanted to visit.

When I arrived at the international arriving hall, a Korean guy with big spectacles waved at me recognizing me.

I went near him and stared at him with a smile

That was my first time to see a Korean so close. His looks were so Korean. He was just like the Korean drama actors, handsome and dashing.

"Annyeonghaseyo bu-in, welcome to Korea!" He said and continued "I am your guide Kim Taehyung. Your car is waiting madam." He showed me the way out.

I followed him and got into the car.

"As per schedule, we are not heading to Busan and you can rest in your hotel room madam. I will give you the itineraries for your trip tomorrow." He shared his contact details and a small guidebook with few frequently used Korean words and its translation in English.

Half and hour after, we entered the hotel in Busan, a place nearby the Haeundae beach. I then checked in my ocean view room in the fifth floor. Mr. Taehyung the said goodbye after I checked in, "take rest Maya-ssi, we will meet tomorrow morning in the lobby for the first day trip to the Simni road."

He then left.

I went up to my room accompanied by and employee who carried my baggage. He then left my things inside that vast room after getting his tip.

I closed the door and fell on the bed. I never looked around the room and thr ocean view because of the jet lag and the difference in time zone.

I fell asleep soon naturally.

I then received a wake up call from my family after 2 hours of sound sleep.

My family ensured that I reached Korea safely and confirmed about my secured stay in this new foreign land. I somehow convinced them and made them understand my safety regarding this trip.

When I hung up on them, my friends were on the line to keep me accompanied that night after my family. I then talked with my friends and made a video call and showed them my vast room in Korea.

We talked for a while and ended the call. I then made a from the intercom and ordered my dinner. Meanwhile, I looked around the room and the ocean through my glass window and walked outside the corridor.

Later when my doorbell rang, I came in and took my dinner, a sandwich and a coffee. I surfed around web about the Simni road I am about to visit tomorrow munching on my sandwich.

The pictures of the Simni road, the Cherry blossom road took my breath.

I wondered and imagined how it will be to see them for real!

I fell asleep after a while in the couch.

》The Morning 《

First day of the trip.

I woke up and got ready. I then got a text from my guide Mr. Taehyung that he arrivedthe hotel and waiting for me in the lobby.

I took the lift to lobby.

Mr. Taehyung waved at me and he approached me. "Annyeonghaseyo Maya-ssi!" He smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Taehyung!" I smiled back.

"Shall we start to the Simni road madam! Thr vehicle in waiting." He said and walked me to the entrance.

We then started to the Simni road from Haeundae-gu, Busan.

After an hour, we reached the Cherry blossom road. The sight of those pinkish blooms all over wanted me to get down the vehicle anf feel it.

I stopped on my tracks and my my guide to so too. The scent and the view of the pink flowers made my heart flutter.

Ssanggyesa Temple, Simni Cherry Blossom Road.

For a foreigner like me, the beautiful view was much easier to encapture in my heart that the long name.

Despite being a die hard fan of K-drama, I still felt alien to Korean language.

I was so mesmerized my the flower shedding beauty, that I wanted to catch one. I jumped and moved like a kid going after a kite.

Finally, I got a hold of it and bumped someone from behind making him to fall down.

"Jjinja? Neo u dangyeleul bol su eobs-eo?" He said.

"What? Are you scolding me?" I asked.

"I said to watch your step!" He sighed and picked up the hat that fell down from his head.

I was a bit wilder to get a hold of my life, I didn't realize I would bump someone!

"I am sorry, I was a little out of control. Here let me help you." I gave him a hand and walked him to the side.

He was a tall young guy with great looks. He was dressed up like a model. But I felt like we were of the same age group. His eyes were sharp and brown I colour. His hairdo looked cool like those Korean celebrities style but with natural black hair.
