'ugh'

you thought as you walk down the streets of seoul. this unfamiliar smell makes you nauseous , and dizzy. you couldn't walk straith anymore , you wish you didn't got that schoolarship.

all you wanted to do was get some ramen for your new apartement. you didn't knew going to 7/11 was going to be this hard. since you aren't familiar with this place , you kinda got lost. you went to alleyways that are creppy , giant buildings and many more.

but you still couldn't find 7/11 , so you asked someone. "excuse me , where is the nearest 7/11 ?" you asked. he stopped and looked at you for a while. he accidently sat down and put up his bottle. because of how innocent you were , you didn't even know that he was drunk .

"you go to umm- uh straight and then- left" he said then burping out loud. you nodded and left that man. without you realizing the man has already pass out , in the middle of the streets. you turned your head back and saw the man lifeless , with a bottle on his hand. you thought to yourself  'so this is what seoul is like'. you thought you probably could not stand a day in here. but this is all for the best school in korea.

finally , you arrived. the smell of sweat and old men filled the store. and of course you we're disgusted , again. you quickly pick out the ramyeon and some other essentials for your apartement. after that you went to the cashier , which has a two meter line. you sighed , it's 11pm why is a convention store so crowded in this time of day ? you play your phone as you waited.

suddenly a middle aged , blonde haired woman went infront of you , cutting the line. "excuse me miss , you can't do that" you said. the woman gave the most menacing look to you , she's definitely one of those 'can i see the manager mom's. you gave a forcefull smile to her , just because you didn't want to die.

after a while , you finally reached the checkout. the person working there is very...slow. so that's why there is such a long line. you pour out all the stuff you want to buy onto the table. the person sarcasticly smiled at your stuff and start to scan it , slowly. you just waited , crossing your arms while you're at it. it's been 15 minutes and he haven't finished scanning yet. now you start to wonder if he's really getting paid or not. "hey , could you be a little faster ?" you asked. he stopped then stared at you , fiercely. you gulped , damn people in seoul are scary.

"it will be 50.000 won" he said. i nodded then opened my bag to grab my wallet. strangely you don't feel your wallet in your bag. you tilted your head and start to look in every corner in your bag. you were so frustrated , you could feel the stares from the people on the line. that made you more pressured and frustrated. the room start to feel humid. for some reason you couldn't breathe right.

"wait a minute mr.." "suga , just call me suga" the person said. you moved to the left a bit to find your wallet. well all the people behind you has to wait for you right. you can hear groans and complains from here. shit , this things are tougher than you thought.

finally , you found your wallet. after a long search trough your bag , and finding shit that you didn't even knew was there all along. "hey , here" you said , handing suga the money. "oh someone paid it for you already , he said you were taking too long" suga said while handing you your stuff. "who ?" you asked. "that guy with the black hoodie" suga said. you feel thankful , but it's someone you don't know so you had to pay him back.

you grabbed the groceries from suga's hand and ran outside. "ya !" you shouted. the man turned his body then looked at you. he stood there looking confused while putting his hands on his pockets.
you ran up to him and then lend him your money. the guy just stared at it , not grabbing it. "take it" you said. you couldn't tell if he's smiling or looking smug because of the giant mask that he's wearing.

the guy shook his head and turned away. you just couldn't let him be. so you pulled his shoulder to make him look at you. you gave him the money then the guy took the money and then puts it in his pocket. you felt satisfied  , so you smiled.

a slight blush went up to his cheeks , his eyes were widened also. and why is that ?

because the smile you gave him won't be getting out from his head from now on.
