The sound of an announcement woke you up from your slumber.

"We have started our descent towards Seoul. The local time is 5:43 PM, and the weather is 29° Celcius."

You plugged your headphones in, drowning out the noise with some music and you rolled your shoulders, relieving some of the tension in them after your almost 13 hour flight. Thankfully you were able to get some shut eye before you landed.

"Excuse me sir, can I take that for you?"

You looked up to see a flight attendant standing above you, gesturing to the plate you had in front of you. "Oh, yes. Thank you" You manage to throw out as the attendant reaches in front of you, taking the plate and disappearing down the aisle.

You tried to distract yourself by looking out of the window, the endless sprawling city reminded you of London but felt so so different at the same time.

Soon enough the plane landed and you were one of the first ones off the plane. Taking the advice from your new club you arrived with a hood up and sunglasses on, probably to avoid being recognized? But who would even be waiting for you, it's not like you were an actor or an idol.

'Whatever' You thought as you continued through the airport, if that's the advice you got then you weren't going to fight against it. Maybe you'd see one or two paparazzi.

Boy were you wrong. Once you stepped out from baggage claim you were met with a bombardment of flashing light and people in every direction calling out to you. Something you had genuinely never experienced before.

"Oscar!"

"Kang Oscar, just 1 question!"

"Look this way please!"

You took a second, overwhelmed by the pure chaos of it all. Is this what all the idols felt like? 'This was kind of a fun experience.' You smiled as you approached one of the reporters, taking off your sunglasses to look her in the eyes.

"Thank you for your time Oscar. I wanted to know, what makes you want to join a club like FC Seoul? It is, in nearly every metric, a step down from the spotlight of European football that so every professional aspires to play in" She asks before pointing her mic at you.

"Well, first off I want to say I'm excited to be here and get started with the team." You ran your hand through your hair as you thought of what else to say. "But I look for good opportunities, I had a few other options but this was the one that spoke to me."

"Does this have anything to do with the rumors of you possibly playing for the Korean national team?" The reporter threw another question at you.

"Unfortunately I don't get to make those decisions." You smiled back at the reporter who was eager to ask more questions but an assistant from the club gave you a tap on the shoulder, motioning you that it was time to leave.

You gave a polite nod as you continued on your way, the other reporters still calling out to you as you made your way past everyone and eventually into the car that had been waiting for you. The whole world disappeared as you closed the door behind you, finally some silence as you let your hood down and took a deep breath.
