Before the list...

"Yes— I did— I'm safe— Yes it's beautiful here— Okay— I will." I roll my eyes. Obviously I wasn't going to get a word in. "Elton!" I scream into the phone. He finally stops his random rambling and breathes.

"I am fine! I am going to be fine! I'm literally just here for a semester. Anddd I literally just landed here so I haven't even explored that much yet. So please calm down. I love you!" I was finally able to stop him from freaking out over me. "Okay. Okay! I'm fine! I love you too little sis. Be safe! Remember your allergy!" "My allergy isn't deadly," dust. I hate it. It's like I have a constant cold, "Plus I have my mask on." I say as I adjust my black mask over my mouth. I chuckle at Elton's reaction and lug my carryon and my suitcase behind me. I hang up after Elton freaks out over more stuff before he finally lets me go.

I stand outside the airport and look around for a taxi that doesn't already have someone in it. I raise my hand up for one and someone sees me and stops. I put my bags in the trunk and get in the back seat.

"Seouldae, jebal." (Seoul National University, please.) I tell the taxi driver. He nods his head and heads off after putting the address into his gps.

Upon arriving at the university I get my stuff out of the trunk and pay the driver. He smiles before driving off.

I turn back around to look at the campus but instead I run into someone's hard ass back.

"O! Jeongmal mianhae!" (Oh! I'm so sorry!) I say. The boy shakes his head and gives me a small smile. "It's okay." He replies. I gain a shocked expression, "You speak English?" I ask. He nods his head, "I do. Just not well." He says. "Oh! I'm Casey Castee! I'm an exchange student." The guy takes a second to process my words before he nods his head. "I'm Jin-Young." He introduces. He offers to show me around the campus and I thank him for his kindness. It's the perfect thing that I needed on my first day arriving.

"Actually a lot of us speaks english." Jinyoung says with his heavy Korean accent.

That actually makes sense. I had read that in other countries during like primary school they would teach other languages like English or French and they would grow up learning three separate languages.

"Yeah. It's really cool how they would do that." I say, referring to principals and such. Jinyoung nods his head before he gestures to a hallway. "Down this way is girls dorms. And to the left is boys dorms. Boys not aloud in girls dorms after dark. We all have four to five roommates." Jinyoung explains briefly. I nod my head, "Uh... I hope you don't mind me asking... but can I have your number?" I ask. Jinyoung raises a brow.

"I mean! You don't have to give it to me! I just want it so that I can have someone to talk to and ask questions if I need help." I explain awkwardly. Jinyoung laughs and nods his head, "Yeah. I like that." He says. I smile and chuckle a little at his broken English.

We both go our separate ways as I find my dorm.

"Ah ha! Found it!" I knock on the door really quick and someone answers in a flash.

"Oh! The American!" A very pretty Korean girl greets.

"Yeoboseyo! Naneun keisi ya!" (Hello! I'm Casey!) I greet with a wide smile. The girl smiles right back at me.

"Hi! I am Min Ah! Welcome to Seoul!" She says with a really cheery voice.

I think I might fit in around here.

To be continued...

In all honesty.

I get rather annoyed with the fact that I keep making chapters so short even though I take months to actually publish them.

If you want longer chapters... please do not rush me.

Writing takes time.

It's hard work even if it seems so easy.

I'm happy you all enjoy my book this much but it really takes a toll on me when I feel like I'm not writing to my full potential just so I can get a new chapter out for you guys!

I mean no offense by this and I really hope you guys understand that I don't mean to take a long time or to blame you guys for me writing shitty chapters.

Lol I just hope this will suffice for now.

And you will all have to suffer with that cliffhanger from last chapter just a little bit longer!

Bye bye!! ;)
