My journey to you

아름다운

The seat was unbelievably uncomfortable, no food was served yet, it was cold, loud and i felt utterly queasy in this freaking airplane. Ugh, this was the worst feeling in my whole life. Six hours wouldn't be that long right? Right?

Wrong. It was LONG.

Midnight flights really don't suit me oh my god. Well, the seat for once was uncomfortable to sleep on. How do people next to me managed to sleep so comfortably? I mean, hello? There was this lump on the head rest, it was annoying.

I'm starting to think how will i ever survive in Seoul.

Might as well shut my eyes now.

Is 4am morning to you? The stewardess literally woke me up at 4am and said "good morning!" with oh so much energy. I definitely felt more nauseous than before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving to Incheon international airport in 5 minutes. Please take your seat and buckle your seat belt..."

Wait, what? 5 minutes? That was fast. Ugh, i feel nauseous again. I didn't eat that much. Just a bite of potato. Oh well.

"The weather is currently -7 degrees and..."

WHAT? -7 DEGREES? HOLY SHIT. I came from a forever hot boiling country and i have to go out in a -7 degrees country?? Oh my god?? I only brought a very very thin jacket with me. My thick jacket was in the airplane cargo.

~~~
"Thank you for flying with Singapore airlines and we wish to see you again in the future..."

Okay. Lets go.

Brrrrrrrrrrr
The moment i stepped out of the airplane, i swear to god, it was so cold. I swear. It was 7 am in the morning and it felt really really cold. I immediately run further into the airport to feel the heat and searched for a nearby toilet to pee.

I looked horrible. My face all dry, my eyes puffy as hell, my hair fuzzy and eww i smell. Ugh. So i washed my face thoroughly, tied my hair into a ponytail tightly, brushed my teeth and sprayed my whole body with a dozen sprays of perfume. Then, I'm good to go. Well, not quite.

The airport was really quiet. I only came across a few Chinese. So i dragged my mini carrier to the immigration counter and yeah you know the process. Passport, baggage claim and finally i went out to the arrivals.

The place was exactly like in those Korean dramas. It was amazing. Starbucks, gong cha, convenience stores and also so many KOREANS not to mention the advertisements of famous Korean actors, actresses and models EVERYWHERE. Lee Jong Suk for gong cha, Park Shin Hye for Lotte and so much more.

The most annoying thing that i do not like was the crowd. It was hard to weave around at that place. It was very frustrating and annoying. I can't imagine people who live in a 50 million population country like here. Seriously, it was really really really crowded. Maybe i just do not fit living here in South Korea.

Oh well... Might as well just go with the flow.

~~~

"Holy shit it's cold!" I said out loud when i went outside the airport. -7 degrees wasn't kidding. Maybe I'm not used to this cold weather.

So i took a cab heading towards Seoul and admiring the view outside. South Korea was really beautiful oh my goodness. The air felt different from where i come from. It felt fresh and amazing to experience a beautiful place like this. The scenery and clouds were all beautiful. I just feel like closing my eyes for a second to absorb the beautiful environment around me. I've said "beautiful" so many times haven't I?

"I'm coming," I said to myself. I'm coming for him.

It took about an hour to reach the city where I am staying and the taxi ride costed about 30,000+ won I think which was like I don't know 30+ US dollars? I don't quite remember.

"Kamsahamnida," I said to the taxi driver after he helped me with my bags and he replied, "ne ne."

The cold air can be really refreshing you know. I kinda like it.

After settling with the hotel check in thing, I took some time to rest and yes i bought instant noodles for me to eat. Yum yum!

Eventhough I'm tired af, I didn't sleep at all. I want to explore Seoul immediately.

Wait, is that snow??

I hurried to the biggest window in my hotel room and saw little bits of soft cotton fell from the sky but it was just a few snowflakes.

Oh well...

I hope i can see snow again while i'm staying for a week here.

Focus, you know what you are here for right?

Right. I came here for a purpose to find him and meet him.

The guy I want to confess.

But first, let me just unpack.

I placed my black suitcase on the comfy bed and opened it.

Only to find out that it was not my suitcase.
