I woke up earlier to start packing. I stood there starring at my open suitcase as it laid there empty and all my clothes spread out on the bed next to it.

I put my hands on my hips, "mmm... I have a lot of boyish clothes... this wont do."

I turned around to my closet where I kept my more girlier clothes. I wasnt a full blown tom boy or girly girl, it all varried on my mood. But I didnt mind dressing preppy, unlike my friends, they preferred the tomboy over the girly things any day. Even though I wasnt preppy, I felt like the prep out of the group.

I began to shuv a weeks worth or summer shirts, skirts and sandals in my suit case. i wanted to make a good first impression to his family. I even put some basketball shorts, 2 t-shirts, my blue converse and a big hoodie for if I decided to go for a run or something.

I spent a good 2 hours packing and unpacking. I didnt realize packing for only 4 days would be this much hard work.

"oh god, packing for Korea was easier than this!" I panted as I sat on my suitcase trying to get it to close. It was one of my smaller cases I brought when I came to korea back in June. When I looked at the clock, it was 1PM, our train left at 1:45. It was time to go.

I girls found out about my trip when i came home that night after going to bangtans apartment. i think they were more excited then i was.

My stomach only tightened as i approached the outside of the station waiting for the train. I rose my head and looked around for Hoseok. i realized he couldn't be seen with me, not yet, but i just wanted to make sure he came. My eyes searched the crowd over and over asi tried to look over people's head, as high as my short legs could lift me. Then thats when i knew it was him. Long legs, crazy looking shades, an extremely ugly hat (it was probably RapMon's), and those long slender fingers as it gripped onto his bag. i recognized those fingers anywhere.

The horn to the train soon went off letting all the passangers know it was time to board. I was one of the first people to boarder this certain train cart, immediately took my seat and gave my luggage to one of the train attendents as he put it away where all the larger luggage was stored. It was a 2-seater row, with the seat next to me empty. Once i sat quietly, i looked behind my seat to the other rows to see if i could spot him. Jhope was on the other side sitting in a row by himself about 5 rows back. i sat straight once more and put my headphones on to listen to music until he deciced to come sit to me.

Jeolla wasnt very far, but it wasnt very close either, but with all the stops along the way, the trip seemed very long. After sitting there for almost 2 hours, i was beginning to nod off. Thats when it hit me, literally.

"Ow!" i felt a heavy bag land on me. i looked up to see Hoseok in his horrible diguise.

"shhhh! dont draw attention!" He pushed passed my legs to sit next to the window. He then took the bag of my lap and put it by his feet.

"haha, how long do you plan on wearng that?"

"Until i arrive inside the home of my parents. why? ARE YOU EMBARESSED?"

i put my hand over his mouth, "only if you dont quiet down!"

He moved my hand and chuckled,  "i saw you sleeping already. dont get too tired, we should be there in about another hour."

i only nodded and awaited for Jeolla as we sat their quietly sharring ear buds for the rest of the trip.

As we arrived in Jeolla, we werent exactly in his hometown yet, but the train passed thru the farming areas. it was beautiful. I leaned over Jhope to look better out the window, he only laughed and leaned further back giving me more room. Green pastures for rice, hills filled with herbs, and other plants soaking in the rays of the sun.
