The next few weeks were a whirlwind of preparation. Y/N barely had time to process the reality of her move to Seoul. After accepting the job, she found herself immersed in a flurry of activities: packing her life into boxes, coordinating logistics, and saying goodbye to friends and family.

Her coworkers threw her a small farewell party, filled with laughter, tears, and heartfelt speeches. Adhi stood up to say a few words, his voice thick with emotion.

"Y/N has always been the backbone of our team. We're going to miss her creativity and warmth, but we know she's destined for great things in Seoul. Go show them what you're made of!"

As she hugged her colleagues goodbye, Y/N felt a mix of sadness and excitement. Each embrace was a reminder of the life she was leaving behind, but it was also a celebration of the journey she was about to embark on.

Finally, the day arrived. With her bags packed and a heart full of hope, Y/N boarded the flight to Seoul. As the plane took off, she gazed out the window, watching her home shrink below her. It was a bittersweet moment. She was leaving everything she knew behind, but the promise of a new adventure awaited her.

The flight was long, filled with a mix of nerves and anticipation. She scrolled through her phone, looking at photos of Seoul, her heart racing at the thought of being in the city she had idolized from afar. The bustling streets, the vibrant culture, the music—it was everything she had dreamed of and more.

Upon landing, Y/N felt a wave of exhilaration wash over her. The airport buzzed with activity, the sounds of Korean chatter filling the air. She took a deep breath, trying to absorb it all. This was it—her new life was just beginning.

Yerin greeted her at the arrivals gate, her smile bright and welcoming. "Y/N! You made it! How was your flight?"

"Long but good! I'm so excited to be here," Y/N replied, her nerves beginning to ease.

Yerin led her to the car, chatting animatedly about the city and her plans for Y/N's first few days. As they drove through Seoul, Y/N's heart swelled with joy. The streets were alive with color, neon lights blinking overhead, and the aroma of street food wafting through the air. Everything felt vibrant and full of possibilities.

After a short drive, they arrived at Y/N's new apartment. It was cozy, located in a lively neighborhood filled with cafes and small shops. Yerin helped her carry her bags inside, showing her around.

"It's a bit small, but you'll get used to it," Yerin said with a wink. "And the location is fantastic. You're just a few subway stops away from work and all the major attractions."

Y/N set her bags down and took a moment to soak it all in. She was in Seoul, in her own apartment. The excitement coursed through her veins like electricity.

"Let's go grab something to eat! I want to introduce you to some real Korean food," Yerin suggested, pulling Y/N out of her reverie.

They wandered through the bustling streets, stopping at a small restaurant that specialized in bibimbap. As they sat down to eat, Yerin filled her in on the office culture and what to expect in her new role.

"The team is fantastic. You'll fit right in! And don't worry, they're all super friendly. Plus, there's a team outing next week where we'll all go hiking. It's a great way to bond," Yerin said.

Y/N nodded, a bit apprehensive but excited at the same time. "I hope my Korean is good enough. I've been practicing, but I'm still a little nervous."

"You'll be fine! Everyone is very understanding. And they love it when foreigners try to speak Korean," Yerin reassured her. "Just be yourself."
