Tabby's POV:

I live with my grandma in a small two bedroom apartment. We live in London, England and that's where I have lived all my life. Grandma is the one who raised me and I wouldn't have it any other way. My grandma is not only my guardian, but my best friend. I can literally tell her anything.

In the last year, I have discovered the awesomeness of Korean culture. I started listening to Kpop at the beginning of the year and now it's my favorite music to listen to.

A month ago, tickets went on sale for a Kpop music festival and guess who is going to Seoul! I booked my tickets and I'm staying a week in Seoul. I admit that I'm WAY beyond excited. And that day to get on a plane to Seoul is today.

I'm in my room finishing my packing when I hear soft footsteps behind me.

"Tabby, I can't believe you are going to another country by yourself." My grandma says and sighs. I softly roll my eyes. She has been saying this ever since I got my tickets. I turn around and smile at her.

"I will be perfectly fine and I'm only going for a week." I reassure her.

"A lot can happen in that time." She mutters. I grab my suitcase and walk over to her. She reaches up and tucks a strand of my long brown hair, behind my ear. My hair is in braids and my grandma lightly tugs on one.

"I just worry about you, T."

"I know grandma. I'm going to be fine." I say with a soft smile. She smiles before pulling me into a tight hug.

"I love you sweet and I will see you when you get back." She lightly kisses my cheek before letting me go.

"I love you G." I start to walk out of my room.

"Don't fall in love with any boys while you're there because you're NOT going to live there." I turn slightly to see grandma pointing at me. I laugh lightly. A boy? Yeah right. I doubt if anyone will notice me in the big city of Seoul.

I walk to the airport and go through the procedures. I get my ticket and I make my way onto the plane. I look out the window as the plane rises. I find myself smiling everytime I think about where this plane is taking me.

I'm out of my seat as soon as we are able to get off the plane. I'm ready to see Seoul. I get my suitcase and I head to the airports front doors. I get my phone out and pull up maps to direct me to my hotel. I start walking down the sidewalk, trying to take it everything around me.

I get a few blocks in when I stop again to look at maps. I look around me and I frown.

"Where the heck am I?" I mutter to myself. Just then, without any warning, it starts to rain. I quickly put my phone away and try my best to get close to the building next to me. I have nothing to keep me from getting soaked. I look around the sidewalks and see that of course no one is taking notice of me.

As I'm looking left down the road, the rain stops beating down on me. I look up to see a red umbrella over me. I look to the right of me and see a guy standing next to me. He is a little bit taller me with dark hair and purple at the top of his hair. He smiles when I look at him.

"You look like you needed help." He says. I bow my head slightly.

"Thank you. I could use come help." I admit.

"I'm here to help." He smiles.

"I'm looking for my hotel." I tell him.

"Where are you staying?" He asks me. I take out my phone and show him the address. He smiles even more.

"You are in luck. That is where I'm staying too." He informs me. Looks like I am indeed in luck. I smile softly.

"Thank you for helping me." I say and walk beside him as he starts leading me to the hotel.

"Oh it's no big deal. The hotel is just a few blocks from here." He says. I look up at him and offer him my hand.

"I'm Tabby." I tell him. He shakes my hand.

"I'm Bobby." He says. I smile and as I study his face I realize that Bobby is pretty cute.

"Where are you from?" Bobby looks at me and asks.

"London, England." I tell him. Bobby's mouth turns into an O.

"Woah! I've always wanted to visit there." I chuckle at his reaction.

"I love it there." I say. Bobby nods his head.

"I feel the same about here." He says with a smile.

"This city is very beautiful." I remark as I look around. A few minutes later, Bobby stops walking and holds his hand out in front of him to show that we have arrived.

"And here we are." He says.

"Thank you again for all this." I tell him. Bobby smiles.

"I'm going to help you get checked in and find your room." He says and starts walking again. I follow him into the hotel. I go up to the front desk.

"I'm Tabby and I'm here for a week." I tell the receptionist. She smiles at me and looks at the computer. She nods and grabs a key.

"You are in room 96." She tells me and hands me the key.

"Thank you." I smile and take the key from her. I turn around and walk over to Bobby.

"Follow me. Your room is just down the hall from me." Bobby says and we go into the elevator.

The elevator stops on the 3rd floor and Bobby leads me down the hall. He stops in front of my room.

"If you need anything at all, I'm just in room 90." Bobby tells me. I smile at him.

"I appreciate it and everything else you've done." I say. Bobby smiles.

"I will see you later." He says before turning around and walking to his room. I go into mine and fall onto the bed. I'm so tired from the traveling.

I do unpack my suitcase and get ready for bed. Tomorrow is the big concert festival. I lay down and instantly fall asleep.
