Hae-rin P.O.V

City of love, is what the people called it, they go with their partners on vacations or go on vacations to find partners but that was not the case with me...

I was traveling to the romantic city, but I had neither

Nor the partner, and neither I was going for a vacation

I had to finish up my remaining two years of my college and had internship lining up simultaneously.

Why paris you may ask, the whole and sole reason,

Panthéon-Assas University of law

I had just bid goodbyes to my big asian family, sniffing my way through the check-ins and verifications, I had made it to the lounge my father had specifically given me access to

I look at my boarding pass and wonder, what surprises did the place held for me

There in the busy rush of the airport, sat a transfer student, who was leaving behind her last 3 years of studying law at the SNU, the big asian family and all the life till now, for an internship under senior most lawyers and the remaining two years of law education and whatever the French city had in bag for me

It was currently midnight, my flight was in an hour, I decided to call the number of the agent who was supposed to arrange a place for me to stay

It was currently 6 in the evening in paris, so I guessed she would pick my call

"Bonjour, comment puis-je vous aider" came in her chirping voice

"Hello, I'm the transfer student from Korea... I spoke to you a week ago.."

"Yes yes I remember, don't worry sweetheart, your request is granted, I've found a perfect place for you, just speak to me once you land" she spoke in a heavy french accent

"Thank you so much" I hung up the call.

I cleared up my mind from any kind of stress and prepared myself for the upcoming flight of 20 hours

Once the boarding call echoed loud in my surroundings.

Before I knew, I was searching for my seat.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.───

Once Hae-rin settled down on her seat, a lady- middle aged maybe, comes up to her

"Young lady, you are in my seat" she said rather irritably

"I'm sorry ma'am but isn't this 17 C?"

"But it is supposed to be under my name"

The passenger, beside Hae-rin looked between the two women, and decided to step in, although they were conversing in hushed voices, it seemed to bother him

"Excuse me, miss." Hae-rin looked at the source of the manly voice which echoed in her ear

"This is supposed to be either one of yours, so confirm it with tickets."

Hae-rin pulled the ticket out of her pocket and it was clear that the lady had some misunderstanding.

The lady apologised and asked a flight attendant to help her find her place.

After the plane took off, Hae-rin looked at the man beside her, debating whether or not she should thank him, she finally let's out a small awkward "hey" from her mouth
