Let Go

Lost~Chapt 2

I rolled my suitcase behind me with a thousand of other suitcases going in all directions. It was so busy, everywhere I looked there were people. The korean writing was everywhere too, labeling the exits and so on. I did not know what ANYTHING ment, so I was lost right as we stood off the plane. My mum lead the way, so my brother and I followed. This is SO different to New Zealand.

We were at the Itaewon Airport. Thankfully my mum had found someone that spoke abit of English but I have heard that quite a lot of people in South Korea can speak some English, so were good. The woman talked to us about what bus to take to our little apartment and wrote down some words in romanization korean so we could ask how much things were and stuff. She was VERY helpful, I thanked her and we set off. My brother smiled at me and took my hand because he knew that I always got abit nervous going to different countries. We headed towards the exit sign after we had been past the passport area, I was starting to get alittle excited now.

I was enveloped in the streets of Itaewon, it is INCREDIBLE!! Everywhere was so colourful and full of life!! It was starting to get darker now because it was 8pm and there was fairy lights hanging from the trees. I could hear faint music in the background. The streets were packed full of people. It. Was. Beautiful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were standing on a bus, all three of us. People were looking at us and I was beginning to get uncomfortable. "Why are they staring?" I whispered under my breath to my brother.
"Just ignore, its fine" He said.
I sighed and looked out of the window, it was night now. A few more minutes until we reach our apartment. I closed my eyes from the long day of walking and waiting and walking again. All of this was so tiring...
I woke up. I was still on the bus.
SHIT.
I turned around and my brother wasn't there OR my mum. OMG FUCKING HELL THEY LEFT ME? I hesitadedly looked around the bus but recieved weird stares back. OMG OMG OMG. I dont even know where I am. Beside me a man sat, looking at me oddly. I began to breath really fast and ruffle around in my coat pocket for my phone. IT WASNT THERE. I gasped and checked the floor. But just as I looked down I remembered, I had left it on the plane. SHITTING HELL WHAT THE.....
I was about to scream but a hand landed on my arm.
"Are you okay?" The man beside me sat, he had a mask over his mouth.
"Um yeah!! Well no!! I'm not..." I spoke to him, getting shyer and shyer.
"What's happened?" His eyes were a deep brown colour.
I forgot to respond to him because I couldnt somehow take my eyes of his.
Suddenly I realised and jumped back, but my feet crashed into my suitcase and I tumbled to the ground. Everyone in the bus was looking at me, I didnt move off the floor, it WAS TOO embarrassing. I covered my face with my hands and blinked twice to see if this was real. "Excuse me miss? You alright?" He said worryingly and pulled my arm upwards so I could get on my feat. He was strong. My heart fluttered with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement. "Omg yeah sorry, I should go!!" I pulled my arm away from his warm hand and hurried off the bus that had came to a hault thankfully but just as I jumped off the bus a hand grabbed mine. I looked back round and it was him again. "Your suitcase?" He laughed and rolled my suitcase off the bus for me. "Oh thank you!! I'm so sorry for wasting your time!!!" I took the suitcase from him accidentally brushing against his hand again. It was so soft and warm. I laughed shyley and thanked him as I went, but something stopped me and I turned around again, "Excuse me?? Do you know where we are?" I asked, knowing I felt so dumb.
"Um, we r in Gangnam..." His voice was full of warmth and loveliness. He was a dream. His brown curley hair covered his eyes. "Ah! Thank you very much, sorry I will go now" I hurriedly turned back and rolled my suitcase against the bumpy pavement. The memory of him was still fresh in my memory that I had almost forgotten I was lost in the middle of a city at night with no phone. I was too embarrassed to go back and ask him again. I looked back and he was watching me, still stood in the same place as I saw him last. I awkwardly waved my hand at him and looked a different direction, trying to make it seem I didn't look back because of him. "Hey!!" He called~"Wait up!!" I froze and looked shyley at him. He was running after me. As he got to me he chuckled, "I saw youuuu!!"
"Saw me what?" I spoke, giggling under my breath.
"What is your name?" He asked, walking next to me.
"Maya, yours?"
"Taeyong" He answered, like he had said it a million times...strange.
I looked at him and his eyes met mine, he grinned at me with his bright white teeth. "So what are you doing by yourself late at night?" Taeyong said, his gaze resting on my face for a moment. "I am asking myself the same question, I'm lost" I sighed and we started to walk again.
"LOST? Why didn't you say earlier? I can help you!?" His face had brightened and he began to take off his mask, "The air is nice and clean now" I stared at his face in amazement, he was so handsome. Why was this guy so good looking?
"My mum and brother left me on the bus probably because they thought I would follow but I didn't because I fell asleep and the bus would of gone already..." My voice sounded small and weak. I was very scared to be lost in a country I don't know. "I'll help you find them, don't worry" That's when he lightly grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. My heart fluttered again. "Thank you" My voice was louder and much more relieved. We walked down the road, strangly he was keeping to the shadows, but I carried on walking with him because I knew he could help me...
