chapter 3: living in korea.

Three years back.

Tahreems pov.

It was 5 PM in the evening when I arrived at Incheon airport. I was hella nervous yet excited. I took all my luggage and took the taxi directly to chang ung university, while going there I was looking at the view of from the window of taxi and kept thinking, that this, my dream of coming to Korea had come true. But now I decided that I will make most of it. As Being shy person I haven't thought of having any friends I just want to complete my degree and get a job , gonna live my life quietly as much as I can. MBA might be difficult but I was smart and I really wanted to be a business woman since I was in high school. So now coming here I'm going to do whatever it takes to be successful. After arriving there I took all my luggage and went to my dorm I had every thing sorted. The incharge there gave me the keys of dorm room which I was sharing with a Scottish girl Haley Jameson, who was really cute and friendly , all white with doe eyes and chubby. I felt good about that to be honest, as I know korean beauty standards are really high and brutal in Korea. So I was kinda worried that I might have to share my room with some judgyy person but Haley was total sweetheart, she welcomed me open heartedly , we get along really well bcz we had 2 things in common, no 1: kpop/kdrama craze. No 2: our love for food  that I was all halal things and she already knew as lot about Islam. She was really respectful about that. So my classes were going to start on Monday and I had 8 classes in a week, from Monday to Thursday. My weekends were free but again with a lot of assignment and stuffs but I was happy as everything going very well alhumdilullah ( All praise to God).

It's been three days since I was going to university with Haley ofc, she was doing MFA, a filming major. She wanted be cinematographer or anything related to acting or movies. We always hang out in cafeteria during our breaks and she helped me with the food as I was new and didn't know what was halal and what not. We do get some stares as being Muslim and chubby , I felt people were watching to my scarf, I didn't really care as they never said anything to me directly they were watching me with curiosity mostly but some people with fear I don't know, I usually don't scarf as a hijab more like a lose scarf wrapped around my head. I kept my dressing simple by wearing long flowery dress with sneakers and a thin jacket.

I talked to my family like every single day as I was terribly missing them , it was really hard leaving ur family when you have never gone out without them or left them for a night. In my class there were lots of foreigners too just like me, many Indians, German, americans and many more!. I was preparing for my first semester exams as they are just one months away. Life has been hell as teachers were giving us very hard time by giving us lots of assignments. That's why after completing my assignment, I went to library for exam preparation. I was so drained from the assignment and really want to have break so I went to grab some coffee, as it was the only thing that kept me up and energized. There was small cafe near the library   just few blocks away, so when I went there and ordered the coffee but then I saw that I forgot my vallet and about to freak out but then there was this handsome Korean guy behind me who looks like came straight from any Korean drama, so he was kept saying but I was too busy drooling over to notice him talking to me saying " Heyy , don't worry I will pay for your coffee. " Umm.... No, it's ok , I will just return it. Actually I forgot my vallet at library" I said. " Hey it's no big deal, they have already made your order, so plz take it " I hesitated before excepting the offer.
" Um thanks, I really appreciate it ".then I went to take a seat at one of the free seat in the cafe, taking out my phone to check if I had any texts from Haley or my family, but then I felt someone sitting across me and then I see that Korean guy who payed for my coffee, " Sorry can I sit here" He said. " Yeah, sure" i said. "My name is park seo jun , btw. What's yours!? " He asked. " I'm tahreem yousuf, I'm here to complete my degree of MBA, I'm studying at Chang ung university". I said . Not wanting to answer step by step. "Wow, MBA . U must be smart, well where are you from? " He said. "I'm from pakistan. What do you do? U don't look like a student, a bit older for that, "I said. " Hahaha, I look old, I don't get that a lot, people usually said I'm 25 years. Well FYI we are in same university and I'm a student , it's my last year. I should have completed soon its just i went to complete my military training. " He said. I pretend like I didn't get affected by his interest in me and he telling me about himself. Considering Koreans are really shy and not really friendly to foreigners but he's different and for handsome guy like him talking to an average looking chubby girl. " Well now I got it, btw thanks again for the coffee. And it was nice talking to you park seo jun. " I said, standing up as I have to go back to library. " It was a pleasure to talking to you too, tahreem  and it's okay about the coffee, I hope u have a good time in South Korea and we might meet again. "
