Six months ago, Gyllene would have never thought that a new beginning in South Korea would be the cause of her shuttering.
Bad relationships, fake friendships, heartbreaks, and failing dreams.
Can one revive from utter destruction?

Me and Taehyung had already arrived at the coffeehouse near school. We were sitting next to each other, while taking about our passions and dreams. Taehyung wants to study business and management, here in Seoul. Unlike him, I aspire to be an architecture student and move back to Europe. Suddenly the door bell rings and I see Addo right at the entrance of the coffeehouse next to Yoongi. My heart starts beating faster for an unknown reason. Behind those two I spot 3 other guys.
My heart suddenly drops when I realize that the last person to enter the coffeehouse is the handsome blond guy I had seen in the morning. When did my life become so adrenaline- charged all of a sudden?
"Jungkook!" Taehyung says excitedly and jumps up to greet his boyfriend.
"Everyone, this is Gyllene. She's a new student at our school and Addo's brother. Gyllene, this is Jungkook." He says introducing me to him.
We shake hands, and then Jungkook approaches Taehyung and holds his boyfriend's hand smiling at him. They look so good together as a couple, that I can't contain a smile that is now plastered on my face. Then he introduces me to Namjoon, the purple haired guy, who speaks fluent English with a great accent.
"Lastly, this is Jimin." I watch him getting in front of me hesitantly. His smell is phenomenal, it's a mixture of vanilla and roses. I feel butterflies in my stomach as he reaches out to shake my hand.
"He- Hey, Nice to meet you." He states quietly and blushes.
I shake his hand feeling like I would explode because of my fast heartbeat, but I try too seem calm and composed. His touch.. His touch feels great. It feels like his soft hand caresses my heart and I feel paralyzed, lost, enchanted, when he looks at me.
I'm a slave to his gaze and this feeling is so unfamiliar to me, yet I smile back and reply "Nice to meet you too."
It feels like we're frozen in time, him and I, until Yoongi breaks the comfortable silence and our dancing gazes. "So, should we take a seat?"
Everything is in motion again. We take out seats at a round wooden table, me sitting between Taehyung and Namjoon and across Yoongi and Jimin. The latter avoids eye contact, contrary to Yoongi, whose eyes don't leave me.
"So, Gyllene, how do you find Seoul?" Everyone's attention is on me when Yoongi asks that.
"Um, I like it here. It's nothing like London though , it was a cultural shock, really." I reply confidently.
"Have you strolled downtown? There are some great places you should definitely visit." He asks interested.
"Only a little bit 'cause I didn't have enough time when I arrived with my parents, you know."
