It was 6 o'clock in the morning nang magising ako dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa mukha ko. I immediately get up and went to the comfort room to do my morning routine. As I look at the mirror, I remembered the guy that saved me last night.
"Who are you?" I asked out of my curiosity.
The guy looked straight to my eyes. Hmm, his eyes looked familliar. Pero hindi ko pa din dapat siya pagkatiwalaan porket niligtas niya ako. He is still a stranger unless he'll introduce himself.
He just smiled as a response. Natulala ako nang sandali sa ganda ng nata niya. Kahit nakamask siya ay nakita ko iyon dahil bahagyang umangat ang mata niya. I feel something in my hand and then I realized that I am holding his hand! Goodness! I immediately pull my hands causing his to slip.
"Mianhae" he murmured. Marami pa siyang sinabi pero yun lang ang naintindihan ko sa lahat. Pano ba 'to? I should have attended Korean class bago ako pumunta dito! Gracious!
"What did you say? Can you speak in English?" I asked. Aba, sa English nga kulelat na ako, sa Hangul pa kaya?
He laughed a bit at that. He smiled at me once again before he ran away. Oh, that whatever-his-name guy!
Maglalakad na sana ako pabalik when I noticed something. It is a wrist watch, sa kanya ata ito. I bring it with me and siguro remembrance nalang? Haha
Nahinto ako sa pagrereminisce nang kumatok si Tita Ely sa pintuan ko. She shouted na kakain ka at sinabi ko naman na sandali lang. Masyado ata napatagal ang pagrereminisce ko.
Lumabas na ako sa aking kwarto at dumiretso sa dining area. Di ako kumain ng marami dahil marami akong gustong tikmang pagkain sa pupuntahan ko. This day, I decided to go to Seoul Street. The place where native foods and variety of cosmetics are sold.
Sumakay ulit ako sa train. Di naman ganon kalayo ang Myeongdong kaya mabilis lang ang biyahe.
People were talking too fast, it's like understanding a difficult Math problem. I can't understand them but there's a word that caught my attention and made me look at them, "EXO". Tinignan ko ang mga Koreans na nag-uusap tungkol doon. They're all wearing EXO jersey shirt and a bonet. I should've worn mine too!
I looked away nang makita nilang nakatingin ako sa kanila. Siguro ay nagtataka sila kung bakit ako nakatitig sa kanila.
Kinabahan naman ako nang sinundan ang mga hakbang ko. Are they following me?
"Annyeonghaseyo! I am Lia and these girls beside me are my friends. We noticed that you looked at us when we mentioned EXO. Are you an EXO-L?"
I bowed and nodded, "Annyeong! I am Brianna and yes, I'm an EXO-L."
"Jinja? Jinja?" Sabay-sabay nilang sabi.
Jinja is an expression which means really.
I laughed a bit because they looked super cute and adorable!
"Are you going to their concert?"
Buti nalang at fluent sila sa English at hindi ako nanonosebleed. Hays
I nodded again, "Ne."
She get her bag and look for something. "There you go." She said nang matapos na siya sa paghahanap. She hold my hand and lend something there. "Here, take these" she said with a huge smile.
Nanlaki naman ang mata ko nang makita iyon. My jaw dropped when I saw it. Goodness gracious! "Are you really giving these to me?!" I said. Sobrang generous naman nila pero this is too much, kakakilala palang namin tas ganito na? And I didn't know na mayroon palang ganito.
She nodded. "Is this really true? Legit?" She laughed at my reaction and question. I just want to make it sure! "Yes dear, if you don't believe on me then give it a try after the concert." She gave me a wink.
I.can't.belive.it!
SHE JUST FREAKING GAVE ME A BACK STAGE PASS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!
"But why me?" I asked out of my curiosity. "You aren't a Korean and you really went here just to see them, right?"
"How did you know?" I asked, shocked.
"Oh, I forgot something in my introduction before. By the way, I am Lia Park, a psychologist and manager of EXO."
I hugged her tight dahil hindi ko na mapigilan ang nararamdaman kong saya! "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
She hugged me back. "By the way Brianna, we have to go now. See you in concert!" She smiled widely and waved her hand. I did like what she did too.
Nag-ikot ikot na ako sa Myeongdong nang may malapad na ngiti. Nagutom ako kaya naman lahat ata nang madadaanan kong food stalls ay kinakainan ko. Their food tastes great! Dapat ata ako matutong magluto ng ganito.
Every cosmetic boutique na madadaanan ko ay pinapasok ko at bumibili. Di ko rin pinapalampas ang nga promos at free try. Dapat ko na ding alagaan ang skin ko from now on para naman magmukha na akong Koreana!
Di na ako makadala sa dami ng paper bags na bitbit ko. I should have ask Tita Ely to accompany me! I ride a train again pauwi. It is getting darker outside. I checked my phone at alas-singko na pala ng hapon. Sana naman di na ako abutin ng dilim sa labas. Ayoko nang mangyari ang nangyari kahapon. But di ko maalis ang lalaking tumulong sa akin. Don't tell me I have a crush on him gayong di ko pa nga siya kilala!
Nang makababa ako nang train ay dali-dali kong tinahak ang daan pauwi. The road is clear at wala masyadong tao doon. While walking too fast ay may nabunggo ako. Hobby ko na ba ang pagbunggo ng tao ngayon? What the hell?!
Pinulot ko ang nga gamit na nalaglag at the guy na nakabungguan ko didn't bother to help me at all. He didn't even said sorry kahit alam ko namang ako ang may mali. I bowed my head and murmured sorry. Aish! That guy, he didn't even help me and now he didn't apologized? The heck?!
Nang makauwi ay pumasok agad ako sa kwarto habang pinipilit na isinkin lahat ng nangyari ngayong araw. A girl gave me a Back stage pass and a guy bumped into me and didn't apologized. But I am very happy! Huli na nang may marealize ako.
DID I JUST FREAKING MET EXO'S MANAGER?! WHAT THE HELL?!
