       Fumbling with her new keys Mina
       somehow managed to unlock the
       front door of her new apartment.
       Sighing she pulled her suitcase inside
       and shut the door. Mina had never
       seen her new apartment, heck she's
       never even been to Korea before, yet 
       there was no denying she felt a sense
       of being at home. It was a small little
       place, yet held all of the necessities.
       A simple kitchen, a bathroom, a living
       room, and a small bedroom. No matter
       how small it was it felt good to finally
       have a place of her own. Up until now
       she had always lived with her parents
       and now she's moved thousands of
       miles away all on her own. It seemed
       like an unsettling shift and change
       to her parents, who had never spent
       very long without her.

       Setting her suitcase down she walked
       over to the farthest wall of the living
       room. This wall was completely made
       of glass and allowed her to view the
       beautiful city lights of Seoul, South
       Korea. It almost seemed unreal. The
       brilliant lights and colors that danced 
       across her eyes seemed too vibrant to
       have names.
       The tall reflective buildings seemed to
       stretch far beyond the midnight sky
       and touch the stars. The noises of the
       city and nightlife almost seemed like
       music, a cacophony of harmonic 
       disasters. It was all so beautiful to her.
       With her palms and nose pressed  
       against the glass she then realized this
       was definitely one the most beautiful
       moments of life. With those thoughts
       now mingling and dancing in her head
       she went to bed with dreams of towers
       and stars with colors that she would
       never be able to name.

       It Was Midday Monday when Mina
       rolled out of bed, jetlag setting into
       her little body. She had arrived
       relatively early to Korea, giving her
       a full month to adjust before starting
       college. No amount of jetlag could stop
       her though from seizing the opportunity
       to explore the new world around her.
       She rushed to get ready throwing
       whatever clothes she could find on her
       body. Grabbing an apple she slipped on
       a coat over her warm knit sweater, since
       winter was already in full swing in
       Korea. The ride on the elevator was
       short and sweet and she soon was
       greeted by a ding. The lobby was nice
       and clean and she could see that the
       landlord was busy cleaning. As she
       passed the middle aged woman she
       nodded politely to her since she was
       busy tidying a few things here and
       there. Walking out she was greeted by
       a chilly breeze and the bright sun. She
       took a breath and could immediately
       feel the cool air fill her lungs, making
       them expand and feel light and airy.
       Smiling she skipped down the steps
       and turned the corner when- whack!
       She ran directly into someone's chest
       sending a flurry of papers, herself and
       her half-eaten apple to the ground.

       After Namjoon's late night shift at the
       gas station he was finally making his
       way home. Just like any other day he
       had picked up a few job applications
       in hopes of finding a safer and better
       paying job. He was almost home when-
       whack! Someone rammed into his chest.
       The job applications he was holding
       were suddenly released from his grasp,
       fluttering around in the slight breeze.
       The girl he ran into was about to fall
       backwards onto the hard cement at
       that very moment. Time slowed for a
       moment and Namjoon reacted quickly
       grabbing her wrist and yanking her
       onto her feet in the process. She seemed
       startled, and by the looks of it she was
       not from around here.
