Lisa's POV

I stared at the hangul sign in front of me for 5 minutes. Okay, Lisa, you got this, alright? I was anxious to move because I'm not really used to situation like this. Should I go to the Information Desks? Or should I look for a bus? 

In the end, I decided to go to the Information. Of course, I have to be sure of what will I do, and I'm pretty much excited to go to YGE since I passed the audition in Thailand. I'm sure I'm just one step afar from my dreams! 

"Annyeonghaseyo! I-I am not really fluent at speaking Korean. Can you tell me how can I go to  Huiujeong-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul? Specifically, uhm, its YG Entertainment. " I said. I am so nervous right now. My heart is beating faster than it usually does. 

"If you want the cheapest way to go there, then go to the train. But It'll take an hour, the fastest will be half of an hour . Either taxi or you'll rent a car. " I was surprised that she was really fluent. I thanked her and immediately went to call a taxi. I'm not really in rush but I want to rest. I have travelled for like 5 hours, I badly need a rest. 

As the Information officer said, I was exactly here at Mapo District, but where's YGE? Oh right, I printed some details! Gosh, Lisa how could you forget that? 

"You should reach the entrance of Proud Apartment and you will see a street sign Huiujeong-ro 1 gil." 

After all the instructions, finally! As I step at the building my heart begins to pound more loudly than it did a while ago. Someone approached me but she spoke korean and I cant understand. 

"I'm sorry, I can't understand you. I don't speak much Korean." She giggled and said sorry. 

"Mian. Do you have a schedule with Mr. Yang?" she said.

I nodded. "It's okay. Yes, he told me to present this text to the staff who will assist me." The text was in hangul so I don't know what it is. 

"Oh, you're the one who passed the audition at Thailand? Chukha haeyo! The CEO is not here, he's with Bigbang at Japan so I'll be the one to accomodate you, for the mean time." She told me that her name is Minsoo Kang. And she's been working here already for 3 years. 

As I examined the building I was really fascinated, and excited. Ms. Kang lead me to my dorm. There are also many girls. They welcomed me with a hug.

I'll admit, I'm really out of place. I'm not Korean and I can't even speak Korean, how can I communicate with them?

I signaled Jennie eonni that I will just go outside but she kept insisting that she will go with me because I might be lost.

"I'll just wait here. Buy what you want just call me if you need help."

"Arasseo. "

I went to the section of the beverages. Since I am currently learning how to read and write hangul, I'll apply what I've learned.

"Soju? Oh, isn't this an alcohol?" Okay, I'm talking to myself.

Hmm. It's been 10 minutes since I was here and I'm still not finish choosing! Why are those ready-made-just-microwave-for-3-minutes-dishes just have hangul on them? Can't they write if it's spicy or if it has black bean paste? I'm seriously a mess right now!

Should I ask Jennie eonni for help? I peeked and saw her talking to a boy, oh, maybe it's her boyfriend. But dating isn't allowed, right? Oh whatever! I have to choose!

I glanced at the person who is looking at the ready-made-just-microwave-for-3-minutes-dishes too . Should I ask for help? Is he one of the staffs, oh of course no, Lisa! He is not wearing a uniform!

"Ah-ahjussi, spicy?" I showed him the one with the red font. He was wearing ann all black outfit with, of course, a black cap. His bloodshot eyes directly looked at me. That's scary, I was like narrating a horror movie.

But he looked clueless. Oh gosh, didn't he understand me?

He nodded. I was about to go away but he said something.

"I would recommend you the sweet and sour pork. "

I looked back. Okay, will I follow that recommendation? It would be rude if I won't, right?

"Oh. Arasseo. Kamsahamnida!" I bowed and immediately went to the counter.

I went out as soon as I gave the money.

Jennie was sitting there and slurping her drink. Wait, where's her boyfriend?

Oh wait, the guy he is talking to a while ago was the guy whom I had a conversation with!

Did I just met her boyfriend?
