1.

Felix was really excited, tomorrow was gonna be the day he waited for so long.

He finally had a chance to start everything over.

Felix was switching schools.

Felix lived in the countryside of South Korea with his parents and went to a school next to his house. He lived in a really small town of less than 150 people.  The town was surrounded by fields and forests and the nearest city was about 40 minutes away. So he was super excited to finally move out and start the new year in a new place far away from his boring life filled with painful memories.

He was moving to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, which he visited only 2 times in his life during his childhood and had no memories of whatsoever besides some pictures his mom kept of him and his family posing at the most popular destinations.

It was a really big change for him and his parents, since they had to let go of their only and beloved child, but they wanted the best for their boy and would do everything possible to help and support him in any decision he took, even if it meant letting him go away and hardly seeing him. They arranged everything and once he got accepted they helped with the packing.

Felix's parents couldn't leave to Seoul with their son to help him move in into his new accommodation due to their busy lives and the exhausting and long trip to they would have to take, which only meant one thing, Felix would have to bring all of his stuff and find the school and dorm by himself.

That fact scared him a bit but he was ready for it no matter the difficulties and the new surroundings he would have to deal with. Felix was 17 and he was determined and optimistic in all situations since it was his own decision.

Optimistic in all situations...but not when it came to 2 suitcases and 2 more boxes with all his books, clothes and other things he took from home not thinking about how skinny and tiny his body was and how he probably wouldn't be able to travel around with this kind of heavy weight for several hours.

Felix, who managed to arrive to the Seoul metro station, stood frozen as if he'd seen a ghost.

At this point Felix couldn't move anymore after carrying all those heavy suitcases and boxes around, his body felt weak and sore, even though he did get some rest in the train, which he had several difficulties to get onto, but he eventually did after seeking help from 5 different staff members who showed him the way to his seat because otherwise Felix would definitely get lost.
But as soon as the train arrived, the long hallway leading to the metro station completely defeated Felix, so he stood there frozen, not knowing where to go, blocking the way for several people with his luggage, which he realised only after a few bumps and shouts from the people around him who were trying to get through.
Felix was completely unfamiliar with these kind of places since he never took a metro in his life and all he could see was luminous signs with confusing directions and an abusing amount of people that immediately made him feel dizzy just from one look at it which almost made him regret every decision he made since birth.

Felix, decided to move to a corner to not cause any more problems and also to take a breath and overthink the situation to figure out the next steps he would need to take in order to arrive safe and sound to his dorm. He came back to his positive self ignoring the stressful situation and took out a giant Seoul map his parents kept from the last time they all visited the capital, trying to figure out exactly where he was, turning the map in all possible directions after not being able to find it.
After some tries in fighting with the complex paper, he finally gave up, and tried to follow the luminous signs instead. There were numerous of them but the never-stopping flow of rushing people wouldn't allow him to see the names of the stops correctly which made him go into a kind of a panic.
