I felt like my parents didn't care about me. Work is all they ever thought about, so that's how I'm here, stuck in a new country. Out of all places, a country that I had no idea how communicate, to go around, or anything. I was new to their culture, their language, and the way they were.
I mean, moving isn't a big deal when I lived in the United States we moved to different cities and states, but I knew I would be fine, but here I just feel like I don't belong.
I hadn't gone out since we moved, which was like a month ago but my mom kept bugging me about going out and exploring so that how I'm here now walking, not knowing where I was going.
I kicked a single rock as I walked towards the mall since that's technically the only thing I knew how to do here shop and eat. I laughed quietly to myself that sounds so brattish.
I went in and already felt weird, I didn't understand anything people were saying or anything that was written in the advertisements outside of the stores. I entered a random store and started looking around, while looking it didn't take long for me to do something stupid and ended up crashing into somebody. How do you even say sorry in Korean.?! I grabbed my phone really quickly and pulled out my notes which I had a list of the basics.
"Uhm...uh.. je-song-hamnida" I said bowing a little I wasn't used to bowing so I found it a little to weird
"It's alright don't worry about it" he said laughing"Oh gosh you speak English thank god! I'm sorry I don't speak Korean" I said with an awkward smile
"It's alright, it wasn't bad" he said with a smile still on his face
"Well it was just one word" I said with a giggle as I raised my shoulders
"I understand how you feel trust me" he said
" I would guess, I just moved to Korea and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing with my life right now, and now I'm telling you my problems which you probably don't care about... sorry uhm I'll shut up" I said I talk way too much
"No it's fine I don't mind and I'm just killing time so how about I show you around the mall whatever you need help translating or anything I'll help" he said with a smile
"Your honestly amazing thank you!" I said
"Alright then, but I don't even know your name we just kind of just hit it off" he said with a chuckle
"Oh yea! Hi my names Elena nice to meet you" I said taking my hand out
"I'm Kim Nam Joon" he said shaking my hand
"Ok it's gonna take some time for me to remember your name but I swear I'll get it" I said
"Ok" he said with a laugh
"I can't thank you enough honestly I could use all the help I can get" I said
"Where are you from Elena ?" He asked
"I was born in California but I've moved all around the states because of my parents work" I said
"So moving to strange places isn't really new to you?" He asked
"Nope" I said looking at different shirts
"How old are you?" He asked
"I am 19 how about you I want to know about you too" i said
"Ok I'm from Ilsan-gu, Goyang South Korea, and I'm 22 years old" he said
"All the places sound so weird, so how far is it from this place?" I asked
"Seoul? To Ilsan is about 4 hours maybe" he said
"Ooh how much is this?" I asked holding up a dress
"Can't read either" he said with a raised eyebrow
"That's mean Nam Joon" I said with a pout
"Sorry it's 49, 205.81₩ which is around 41$" he said
"Thanks hm is it really worth it?" I asked putting it in front of me
"It looks good" he said
"Thank you now help me pay for it" I said
He continued helping me and we were now eating lunch since I felt bad for dragging him everywhere, I had to treat him to something.
"So tell me more about your self" I said sipping on my drink
"Ok like what?" He asked
"Do you have a job?" I asked
"Yes I rap" he said
"You rap like professionally?" I asked
"Yea I'm in a boy band that's really known" he said
"Ooh tell me more" I said
"I have a nickname too-"
"naneun dangsin-eul wihae ontong chajgo iss-eoss-eoyo"
Side note: (whoever speaks Korean or understands Korean please don't kill me I just google translated & everybody knows that shit don't work but that's all I got)
a guy said looking at Kim Nam Joon
"Mian- heyo" he said "hey sorry to keep this short but I'll meet up with you again here's my number don't hesitate to call me if you need help I'll see you around Elena" he said
"Annyeong" I said
"Bye bye" and he left with the boy
I gathered everything I got and made my way back home
"Elena your home, how was your trip" my mom said
"It was alright mom thanks" I said going to my room and I laid on my bed and I soon got a call
"Hey El, how's South Korea treating you?" I heard from the other line
"Ugh"
"Oh come on it can't be that bad" she said
"It's that bad I've been stuck in this house for the longest until today, which actually wasn't that bad"
"Please do tell" liv said
"Well, I want to the mall and had no idea what I was doing there. I then bumped into this guy that spoke English and I was so grateful you don't even know" I said
"Ooh a guy interesting what's his name" she asked
"Kim Nam Joon" I said
"Wait what!" She exclaimed
"His names Kim Nam Joon" I said
"Yea I heard you Elena! Kim Nam Joon! What do you know about him!?" She asked
"Well I know he raps and he's in a boy band group and he's 22" I said
"No fucking way you met rap monster......"
"Who what..?" I asked
"Rap mother fucking monster Elena! Hold on I'll send you a picture immediately and tell me if it's the same person!" She said and I soon got the message and opened it"Omgeee yes that Nam Joon!" I exclaimed
"No way in hell! Elena you met the Rap monster from BTS" she said
"Bts what is that?"
"Ugh I'll send you a picture" she said"Oooh Nam Joon is there and the guy that came to get him too"
"WHAT GUY ELENA" she screamed
"Jungkook i think" I said inspecting the picture
"You met my bias!!! No way" she said
"Oh.." I said not knowing what to say to her crazed fan way
"Way cool well your life is amazing" she said
"Shut up my life sucks but whatever I have to go its getting late" I said
"Ok bye baby love you" she said
"Bye" I said
And I sighed and decided to text him-
