Flashback - Summer 2023, South Korea
Luna, Yuri, and Nolan were sitting in a small Pocha at the corner of a bustling street in Seoul, a place where they already felt at home. The metal tables, bright lights, and the inviting aroma of sizzling dishes surrounded them. The atmosphere in South Korea had something magical: cutting-edge technology, endless activities, and a nightlife far beyond what they experienced in Europe. It was paradise, especially for Yuri and Luna, who were passionate about skincare and makeup. Here, they found everything they had dreamed of, far beyond what they could find in France.
"Come on, one more soju!" Nolan exclaimed shamelessly, pouring another round. Yuri, normally shy, had already loosened up under the influence of alcohol. Luna smiled as she looked at her, knowing that alcohol always freed Yuri's hidden soul, making her more comfortable, ready to dance and laugh without holding back.
"You're still so tall even when sitting, Yuri!" Luna teased affectionately. "It's not fair; I feel like a little mouse next to you." Yuri burst into laughter, setting aside her usual shyness, and raised her shot of soju.
"Yah, is it just me, or have we done this round of shots three times already?" she asked, laughing with sparkling eyes.
"And we'll do it three more times tonight!" added Nolan with a mischievous grin before disappearing from their table, probably off to flirt with someone in a corner of the bar.
Nights like these had become the norm since they arrived in South Korea. They spent their nights exploring the hidden corners of Seoul, stopping by Pochas to drink and eat local delicacies that only true connoisseurs could appreciate. The classic Korean dishes were now behind them; they were searching for what couldn't be found in Europe. They feasted on juicy samgyeopsal, spicy tteokbokki, and drank liters of makgeolli and soju, making each night more memorable than the last.
