We go through the immigration section and then head for the baggage claim. I don't see Aron around so I assume he either hasn't arrived yet or already left.

"Momma look!" I look to where he's pointing and find our luggages. Thankfully they were close enough, yet far enough so I can get them with ease. I place them onto the cart and head out.

"Miguel, look for someone holding our names okay?" He nods and we walk out of the sliding doors and I look around. There were a bunch of fans and reporter along with families and friends crowding around. I guess Aron hasn't come out yet. I walked further out and tried to look for anyone with at least my name.

"Christine~shi?" A man approached me with my name on the paper he was holding. Wasn't it suppose to be a girl picking me up?

"Yes?" I answer hesitantly.

"Haerim~ah couldn't make it so I was told to pick you up instead," he tells me in Korean. Oh yeah, I'm in Korea.

"Hold on," I tell him. I take out my phone and call Eric.

"Hello? Did you land?" He asks right away.

"Obviously. Was a girl named Haerim suppose to pick me up?"

"Yeah is she not there? How'd you know her name?"

"She's not here. Instead there's a guy-" I hold the phone away for a sec. "What's your name?"

"Hyun Woo. Lee Hyun Woo," he whispers.

"Named Lee Hyun Woo," I tell him. Hyun Woo leads me away from the crowd and soon it becomes really loud. The both of us glance over and I see Aron walking out. He waves to everyone and gives a greeting and bow.

"Ahh, she probably couldn't make it. He's chill. He's a friend I made the last time I went to Korea. He's an actor so be careful. Are there reporters around?"

"Yeah, but they're busy paying attention to Aron Kwak from Nu'est," I tell him. Aron glances over and sees us as he was led out by security. He nods and I raise a hand in acknowledgement.

"What? Was he on the plane with you? Did you get to meet him?"

"Not important right now. I just needed to know if I was going with the right person. I'll give you a report of my trip later on. Adios," I hang up as he throws questions at me. "Let's go?"

He nods and helps me with the cart. A man follows us and I figured he was his manager. Eric did say he was an actor.

"Is it okay for you to be picking me up like this?" I ask him.

"Yeah. It's the year end, so I do have some free time. Haerim had to help her sister so she called me," he tells me simply. Avoiding the reporters, we slip into a white van.

"This is Miguel," I introduce after we are settled. "Miguel say hi in Korean like I taught you."

"Hello. I'm Miguel Chan and I'm five-years-old," he recites.

"Five in America," I tell him.

"Hi, Miguel. I'm Lee Hyun Woo and I'm twenty-four in Korea," he says smiling at Miguel. "Ahh cute!"

"1993?" I ask surprised. He nods. "Me too! Daebak!"

"Wahh! Really?" I nod. "Friends?"

"Friends!" I chuckle. And just like that we dropped formality.
