It was sunny outside in Seoul, South Korea as Jeonghan packed his luggage into his car and shut the back hatch. He covered his eyes slightly and looked around. It was beautiful out, flowers blooming, trees leafs bright green and the sky a cloudless baby blue. Joy filled Jeonghan as he breathed in a big gulp of air and let it out with a satisfied exhale. He had promised his parents he would make the best out of what he was getting himself into. His parents told him he was very fortunate to get into a college like the one he was going to. To get in you needed high grades and lots of credits. Jeonghan was fortunate enough to have some pretty cool teachers in his high school time that helped him through it all and made him who he is today.

"Jeonghan~ You left your phone on the counter~" His mother yelled from the kitchen window. He quickly checked his pockets and rushed inside to snatch his phone off the counter. His dad then walked in from the work room.

"We're very proud of you," He started, he opened his arms and took Jeonghan in, giving him a warm hug. "You got yourself into one high end college here in Seoul. Work hard, don't slack off, good work will count towards your future." His father says as he gives Jeonghan another squeeze. Jeonghan hugged back.

"I will, father." He stood there for a minute. For the first time in his life he was fleeing the nest and moving to bigger things in life. Jeonghan was no longer a child.

Part of that scared him. His mother and father grew Jeonghan up to be who he is today, but he never once thought about leaving them. His mother hugged him from behind.

"It'll be alright. You have our numbers, we'll be here if you decide you want to come back." His mother says, his father nodding in agreement. As Jeonghan pulled away, he smiled and laughed softly.

Jeonghan started up the car soon after getting in and breathed a sigh. He was nervous. Looking over his shoulder he saw his mother and father waving. He waved back and smiled. He left.

Driving down the road he was hit with sudden sadness, he had finally made his parents proud, he felt proud, however he never thought about leaving them. Thinking about it made him tear up. He wiped the tear from his face and sniffed. No way he was crying in a car going to a college. He'd save that for the dorm he would be staying in. About 45 minutes later of driving he found the entrance to the college. "Seoul National University" it read in it's glorified writing on the sign. He inhaled and exhaled as he drove down the road.

Beauty was everywhere. Flowers showed Jeonghan the way, the sky blue and trees greeted him in with their waves in the slight breeze. As he looked forwards an opening in the beauty said hello. It was Seoul National University, the large buildings making Jeonghan's mouth drop. He saw people wearing uniform and blushed lightly as he realized he had no such clothing. Maybe he would get lucky and find a clothing shop somewhere on campus. He looked around and saw a front office sign so he parked his car and walked on in, leaving everything in the back.

The office was a casual office consisting of the normal grey, green, and blue carpet flooring. There was a cubical in the small space provided and a woman looked up from her work.

"May I help you?" She asked as she saw Jeonghan.

Jeonghan nodded. "My name is Yoon Jeonghan." He answers.

"Ah yes! Freshman I suppose. Let me look for your file." She answers and gets up to look through the filing cabinet. She came back with a manila folder in her hand. "Here we are, take this, this is your schedule, right now, it's optional for you to go to your night class considering it's going to be rough getting everywhere and I believe by the last period of the day before night you'd be pretty tired." Jeonghan took the slip of paper from her and looked it over, nodding. "This is a map of the layout of the campus. If you get lost or need help finding where to go, look at this for a reference." She handed him the second sheet of paper. "Lastly, you are in a two bunk dorm, meaning if you'd like, someone will sleep and study in the same room you will be. We have your room mate set as Choi Seungcheol. If he gives you trouble let us know, your dorm is all male, no females allowed in after 6pm or before 10 am. Any break of the rules and you will be given a strike on your transcript." She hands him the last paper.

Jeonghan nodded and looked at the papers he had collected. "If there a key to the dorm?" He looks at the picture of last years graduates.

"You're key is in your room. They are in the first drawer on the left in each desk." She replies. He nods and bows as a thank you and walks out and into his car again, looking over the map he looks for student parking and soon makes his way there as he parks in his reserved parking spot. He took his stuff out of his trunk and made his way to the elevator and to the main floor of dorms as a man walks onto the elevator.

"I see you're new." He says while staring at the door with a blank expression.

"Y-Yeah.." Jeonghan was getting nervous and quite flustered, the man looked at him with a weird look and got off on the next floor without a goodbye. This made Jeonghan a little nervous. Were people like this? He made his way to the third floor and got off and looked for room 415. Once there he opened the door and stared at what stared back at him. His dorm was spacious, roomy. The windows let in lots of light and there was a door that led onto the balcony. The shower and toilet were in separate rooms and the beds against the walls. Jeonghan sat on the bed on the right and set his bags down. Maybe he could get used to this, at least there was a decent try in the works.
