Ch. 3

You woke up in a deep sweat. It was way too early - five a.m. to be exact. You darted out of bed and looked around you. You hardly got any sleep, but that didn't stop you from jolting up to start your day. Today was important. You looked over to Min-Soo who was fast asleep with her head hanging upside down off the couch. How the hell does she sleep like that?

You hopped into your kitchen and pulled a tea kettle out of the cabinet. You filled up the tap water to the top and put on some brew. Tea was always a wake up miracle in the mornings. You maneuvered yourself to the couch and poked at Min-soo to rise and shine.

"Whaaaaaaat?" Min-Soo murmured as she rolled her head awkwardly back up to the couch.

"Wake up, Min-soo," you calmly whispered, "The concert is today."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" her eyes opened wide as she realized what day it was, "_____! I'm so ready!"

You didn't even have to pull Min-soo out of bed like you had expected as she literally sprung out of bed from all fours. You held back laughter as you instructed her to get ready as quick as she could. You reminded her that you wanted to get as close as possible to the front of line for the concert. You quickly rushed around your apartment, getting everything ready and double checking all of the items that you needed for the day. You packed up some water, blankets, extra cookies and food. You made sure both tickets were securely inside of a pouch within a small bag that you planned on taking in with you.

You finished gathering everything and going over your list a few more times as Min-soo came out from getting dressed. You whisked yourself into the bathroom and washed yourself off swiftly. You had your new outfit hanging up ready to be worn. You slipped into it and checked yourself out in the mirror. Everything was great, exactly how you had planned. You put on very light makeup after completely cleansing your face - giving yourself a natural and soft look. You finished up everything and practically ran into the living room.

"Okay Min-soo, let's do a final check before we leave. Do we have everything?" you asked.

"Yes, I think so. I've got my tickets - they're with you," replied Min-Soo.

"Okay great. I have all the snacks we need. Do you have money for the subway and extra to get things at the concert?"

"Yes, I do."

"Perfect. Okay I'm ready if you are. Let's do this!"

"EEEEEP"

You and Min-Soo ran out the door to en route for the subway. You both had the same idea - making sure you were going to catch the earliest ride. You both climbed onto the subway as it arrived at the station. You both sprawled out in your seat and anxiously waited at each stop for the next thirty minutes. You both nervously chatted about the events that were going to take place in line. The registration process was thoroughly gone over until a perfect plan was set in place. Each of you were going to split up and pick up your tickets separately since your surnames were different. You had agreed to a meeting spot after getting your ticket and crossed your fingers that your positions in line were close. The plan was coming together quite nicely. You were going to make this the best day of your life.

The subway arrived at the station you had to get off at. You grabbed up all your stuff and made sure Min-Soo was close. You continued further and saw the giant venue before your eyes. It was a huge white building with multiple layers on the roof with all sorts of booths out front. The concert hall inside was enormous. It was still early morning and the sun was just now coming up. About 400 other concert goers had beaten you there, which was okay because in your mind, you would still get a good spot. You ran with Min-soo up to the main booth to figure out where you needed to go. You both noticed you needed to find the alphabetical station for your last name and split and ran towards the booth with your surname.
