"Wow!"
I breathe in the fresh air.

I've been on the plane for hours!

I think as I stretch my arms.
"Hmm... I speak Korean at home but... am I really ready to do it all the time?"
I say to myself.
"Excuse me."
Someone says, and I move out of the way.

Well I understood that. Perhaps I'm over thinking it.

I walk out of the airport with my luggage.
"Hmm? Where is she?"
I ask aloud.

My mother said her friend had a daughter my age that I could stay with. She's supposed to pick me up but... I don't see her.
I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"Hello, are you Y/N?"
The girl asks.
"Yes."
I reply.
"Oh, I'm Ji-yeon but just call me Ji. It's easier."
She says.
I smile and nod. She leads me to a red car and I get into the passenger seat. We chat for awhile until we reach her house in Busan. I'll be staying here with her until I can move to Seoul myself.
We ended up watching a movie and going to bed, she's not a bad cook.

I wonder if we may actually become friends. I've kind of not been taking her seriously but... she's pretty cool.

I wave bye to her and go to my room. Taking off my makeup I sigh.
"I wonder if they'll think I sing well."
I pout for a while.
"Well off to bed I suppose..."
I mutter. I take my long brown hair out of a ponytail and put my hair tie into my desk drawer.

Should I dye it... ?

I shrug and unbutton my shirt. After pulling off my shirt I take off my shorts then shoes.
"Ugh! A chill just went up my spine."
I say. I turn around to face the mirror that's right next to the window.
"Hmm... I wonder if my boobs will get any big... er."
I say groping them but then I stop cold and take my hands away from my chest. The window is open but not only that I'm staring right into someone's eyes... a guy! I close shut the curtains and slide down the wall onto the ground.
"That did not just happen!? He saw me touching my boobs! That's so embarrassing! My life is over!"
I try to forget what just happens but it's so hard.
"Okay Y/N! Pull yourself together!"
I shout pumping my fist into the air.
I suddenly hear a knock on the bedroom door.
"Hey, Y/N! Are you okay? I've been hearing quite a lot of shouting."
Ji-yeon says.
I look back at myself in the mirror again.

What the hell am I doing?

I put my fist down and call out to her.
"Uh... y-yeah! I'm fine!"
"Okay, just making sure."
She says. I hear her foot steps fade and breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is awkward. The worst part about it is... he was kind of cute..."
I mumble to myself.

--

My alarm goes off and I jump out of bed.
"Big day today Y/N. Big day!"
I say, picking up my brush and brushing my hair.
I get dressed with the outfit I picked out the day before. Once I've eaten I'm out the door as quickly as I can get there.
"I'll have to walk to the bus stop to get to Seoul."
I say clutching the straps of my leather pink backpack. Then I hear footsteps. I turn my head slightly to see who's behind me.

It's the guy from last night! Wait! I know him!
