The next day, when I woke up, my eyes were puffy, my ankle hurt like a bitch and the palms of hand were red like a tomato from my chlorine allergy. But I went to work despite all that. It was my first day at work after all. 

“Ah! KimRose!” Announced Jan Dia the moment I entered the little porridge restaurant on the most crowded street I have ever come across since I came to Korea. 

“Hello Jan Dia. Am I glad to see you again.” I greeted before giving her a friendly hug, which she eagerly returned. “How is work going?” 

“As usual only a few people come and go. Not very busy I’m afraid.” Replied Gaule as my attention fell on to her. She was a small yet slender girl with a schoolgirl face. She too held the bright small that God seemed to bestow only upon a chosen few. 

“Good lord, Gaule! You should’ve killed one or two with that smile of yours by now.” I said as Gaule gave a small laugh before nodding. 

“I actually have a boyfriend you know.” She said while handing me an apron with the porridge shop’s logo on it. 

“Well he is bloody lucky then.” I joked as both Jan Dia and Gaule laughed with me. Seems likes I am not only going to make enemies in Korea. There are going to be friends too; really good friends…

A good hour had passed since we last said farewell to a customer. Jan Dia was slouched on a nearby table while Gaule kept cleaning the same table again and again. It’s fair to say that both of their spirits were down. And that somehow didn’t settle well with me.

“I have heard there’s a school trip coming up, will you be going Jan Dia?” I asked in hopes to cheer them up. “Are you excited?” But the reminder of the trip only seemed to make her glummer. 

“Yes…I’ve heard about it but… it… it also costs $25,000 for two days.” She said.

“What?!” I blurted without meaning to. “That’s nuts!” 

“We know… I wont be going that’s for sure.” Assured Jan Dia as her head slumped back on the table, only this time my head joined her head.

“We could go to a trip of our own!” Began Gaule. “In two days time, my parents need someone to take a really large order across the eastern river. We could do that instead. I mean it’s a chance to earn money alongside a fun trip. What’s to loose?” finished Gaule with a giant grin. 

The idea wasn’t bad. And to be able to earn more money seemed good like it always did. Unintentionally my eyes met Jan Dia’s as we both stood up to hug the daylights out of Gaule. And so it was decided, Jan Dia, Gaule and I were going to sale across the eastern sea.

So, came the day of the trip. All the other students were heading for Europe while Gaule, Jan Dia and I prepared for our own trip. Off course Woo Bin knew nothing about it and nor did anyone else including Adam. A breath of fresh air is what this trip was. But my happiness was soon stepped on when Adam and that curly head friend of mine decided to follow us.
