Jae Shin’s POV

»4.30am«

*Alarm goes off* “BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP”

My eyes opened wide. Ya, Hong Jae Shin. You’re going to the Philippines today. I actually can’t believe it. I’M GOING TO STUDY IN A PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL IN THE PHILIPPINES. I cannot show how much I love the Philippines. Pilipinas, mahal kita! My Tagalog isn’t the best but I know enough to live there. 

"Jae Shin-ah! Ppalli irewa!" (Jae Shin! Hurry up and come here!) I heard Umma (mom) shouting from downstairs.

"Ne! Jamsimanyo!" (Yes! Wait!) I replied back.

I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up. AYIEEE! I’m so excited I can’t even stop smiling! I turned off the shower and got dressed. Time check! AHH! It’s 6.30! My flight is at 8 and I need to be at the airport at 7. 

I grabbed my suitcase, guitar case and my backpack. Okay, checklist. Phone? Yup. Earphones? Yup. Notebook of songs? Yup. Laptop? Yup! Okay. I’m ready. 

Not once in my 16 years of living have I ever been this far away from my family. 

"Jong Shin! Can you come and help me bring my stuff down?" I yelled at my 14 year old brother. I’m gonna miss this annoying idiot.

He took one of my suitcase and my guitar case and brought them down. I sighed and looked around my room. Ahuhuhuh, I’m gonna miss Korea:’( No more ddeokbokki! T_T 

I followed my brother down and saw my parents waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Umma was crying and Appa was just smiling. I’m SO thankful that my parents are supportive about my dream. 

(In Korean) “You take care of yourself, okay? Don’t skip meals. Eat rice with many side dishes!” Umma said giving me a hug. 

"Arasseo, Umma! Geokjong hajimaseyo" (Okay, mom! Don’t worry) I reasured her.

(In Korean) “Hey rascal, don’t forget about us okay? We’re still here! And we’re so proud of you” Appa said also giving me a hug. I responded with a hug.

"Ya Jong Shin! Be good, okay? Study! Help Umma around the house when Appa isn’t home, understood?" I said, messing his hair up.

"Arasseo, Unnie! Yaksoka!" (Okay, sis!! Promise!) He fixed his hair and glared at me.

I put my stuff into the car and entered. Ahh! I’m actually going to the Philippines! I know that I keeo repeating but I’m just SOO excited! I told our driver to drive to Incheon Airport. I rolled my window down and waved to my family. I’m going to miss them!

»7.30«

I finally got to check in and I’m now waiting at the boarding gate. The boarding gate opens at 7.45 and the plane departs at 8. I was listening to music on my phone. EXO<3 Any EXOtics reading? How hot are Kai, Sehunnie, Luhan and Canyeol oppas? Four biases<3 I just can’t choose between them okay?

They finally called our flight saying that we are now welcome to board. I showed the flight attendant my boarding pass, ticket and passport. She signaled me to the business class seating area, which was where my seat was. J14. J14. FOUND IT! Wooh! It’s a window seat! I put my backpack into the cabin overhead thing and sat back down. I closed my eyes, still sleepy. I felt someone sit down beside me. I didn’t even bother opening my eyes. I was too sleepy.

"Jugiyo…" (Excuse me..) The person beside me said. It was a man, probably around my age. His voice was deep, but not too deep. I turned my head and opened my eyes. Omo. His straight long-ish hair framed his face. His double eyelids complimented his beautiful dark eyes, a tall nose and pale skin. (A/N: Double eyelids, tall nose bridges and pale skin is life, perfection in Korea.) His lips formed a smirk.

"Ne?" (Yes?) I replied. I probably look horrible and dead but oh well. 

"Yeongeoreul pillipin jul aseyo?.." (Do you speak Filipino?) He asked. His face was filled with worry. Maybe he’s actually Filipino… But he looks Korean.

"Ne." I smiled at him.

"Ay buti naman! Ako nga pala is Marco. Half Korean-Half Filipino, pero di ako masyado marunong mag Korean." He smiled at me, offering a hand shake.

"Ahh, ako is Jae Shin, pero pwede mo ako tawaging Jessica. English name ko yoon eh. Full Korean naman ako pero mahilig lang kasi ako na manga teleserye at OPMs (Original Pinoy Music) eh." 

He seemed really nice! At least I get to practice my Tagalog with him! Friends for 4 hours^.^ Because our flight is only 4 hours long. We started talking about all the random things.

"Bakit ka nag pala pupunta sa Pinas? Maganda naman dito so Seoul" -Marco.

"Ah, so Pinas kasi ako magiistudy. Performing Arts! ^_^ v " -Me "Eh ikaw? Ikaw lng ba babalik sa Pinas?"

"Oo eh. Actually, pumunta lang kami sa Korea para sa business namin. Nasa music business ksi an pamilya ko. Producer kasi Dad ko eh.."  

"Wahh! Talaga! Wow naman!!" I smiled at him.

It wasn't long until our plane landed in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Me and Marco walked out of the plane together into the little tunnel thing.. You know, the tunnel that connects the plan to the airport? Yes? No? Maybe? But yeah, that thingy.

"Its so hottttt!!" Marco complained. 

"I know!! I LOVE IT!" -Me

We both went to baggage claim and took our luggage.. I grabbed my guitar case (It's a hardcase so it didn't get damaged) and put it onto the trollet pushy thingy. (A/N So I dunno a lot of the words, okay? xD Let it go.. *insert Frozen song*)  

"You play guitar?" -Marco

"Yuhp! It's my baby:3" -Me

I turned my phone and saw that I received a text message.

Ms. Jae Shin Hong, your driver will be waiting for you at the waiting gate. He will be holding up a sign with your name on it. Thank you for contacting Philippine Private Car Services and we hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines! Mabuhay!

I also texted my parents saying that I just landed into the Philippines!!! Here's to a new chapter in life<3 EXCITINGGGGGG!!! I can't even..xD

"My car is waiting for me outside so I gotta go:)" I waved goodbye and turned around making my way.

"Wait, Jae Shin!" Marco called. I turned back around.

"Yeah?" 

"When will I see you again?"

"You will.. If it was fate... Dramatic kasi ako eh!" I turned back around and started walking again.

"But -" I heard Marco say. I just waved at him still facing forward.
