I'm awaken by the small turbulence. I open the cover of the little window to find that it is daytime outside. All I can see is clouds and the sun. The sky is filled with so many different colors of yellow, orange and white. What a beautiful view. I wish to just stare at this view all day. Wait, I can see something. Something...buildings. I see buildings. Are we already here?

Soon the pilot says over the intercom, "Attention all passengers. Please remain seated with your seatbelts fasten. We will soon begin our decent to Incheon International Airport. We are right on schedule and should land at 12:50 PM. The current weather in Seoul is 11° C with sunny skies for the remainder of the day." How long did I sleep? When I said I love sleep, I didn't mean I could sleep for more than 12 hours. Eh, who am I kidding? I've done it before. Then again, I was tired from running like a crazy human being.

The cabin is filled with crying babies and children being restless. Adults talking with their seat partners about meaningless conversations you would only do if you were the talkative type. I raise up my music and start to organize my carry-on bag. My legs hurt from sitting for HOURS. I can't wait to see my new home. New? Home? Oh, yes. This is my new home now. It will be meaningless to turn back now. "Attention all passengers, we will now begin our decent into ICN. Thank you for riding with us and have a good day."

Excitement and nervousness builds up inside me. I catch myself smiling and I quickly place my hand to cover my mouth. But, I can't just hide my excitement. I can't believe I made it here. I watch the airport ground come closer and closer. This is one of my favorite parts of flying: landing and takeoff. I love the feeling. Although, I don't like roller coasters. It's the same feeling. Weird, I know. I'm a weird person. Aren't we all?

The airplane tires hit the ground and the plane slows down to a reasonable speed. I can see many different kinds of airplane companies as we make our way to our terminal. This is seriously a huge airport. My airport back home is so little compared to ICN. Umm, I hope I don't get lost. I could always ask for directions but...people. No [Y/N]! Be confident and believe you can talk to someone. Not all people are evil and rude. Just breathe. Everything will be fine.

I can see people inside the cabin trying to get ready to dash out the door once it's opened. I always like to get out early too. It takes forever to wait for the last person in the cabin. I have to prepare and WIN THIS COMPETITION. Sorry. Sorry. I'm calm. I'm good. The seat belt light goes off and it's on. People are wild animals trying to leave the plane. I find a spot where I can make my escape as this man was blocking the back of the plane people from getting off. As I was stepping into the plane hallway, I hit my head on the luggage rack. My luck is truly incredible! Just then, I can hear someone chuckling and asking, "Are you okay?" I turn to face the voice and find that same smile that got me at the airport. Hoshi...?
