a tapping on my shoulder caused me to wake up. i looked over and it was haechan.

"we're getting off now."

"oh thanks!"

"yep." he said, getting our luggage out from the compartment above our heads.

"thanks, again." i smiled.

we walked off the plane together and through the airport.

it was roughly 9pm and completely dark out. looking outside, all the cars everywhere, i had to admit i was kind of scared to be in a big city.

and i wasn't even in seoul yet.

"NARI!" i heard my brother yell from somewhere. then he came to me and gave me a tight squeezing hug.

"heyyy, thanks for coming here for me!"

"no problem! i also have your place all set up and everything's ready for you. i can help you unpack if you'd like."

"yes! that would be amazing! thank you so so much!"

"who was that guy you were walking out with?"

"oh i just sat next to him on the plane. he's actually going to the same school as me actually!"

"that's good. now you will have at least someone."

"well 1. he's a guy and 2. he sounds like he has a bunch of friends already."

"so? why does it matter if he's a guy. and you can always make friends with his friends."

"i've never had any guy friends. and it'd be kind of weird if all of my friends were guys."

"yeah i guess but it's not like that should be your reason you can't be friends."

"whatever. let's just get to my place! i'm so excited to see what it looks like!!"

"it's kind of small, but kind of spacious. i don't know how to describe it- just see it for yourself."

one hour later

i stepped out of the car, looking up at the tall, immense building standing before me. oh my godddd it's so beautiful. i think i wanna cry. this is going to be my house.

we took an elevator up to my room. i was room 2 of the 4 on level 17 of the 20 story building. the room was small, but big and spacious, yet still small. the first room you enter was a small kitchen, walking straight ahead, a small hallway which opened up to a living room with the exterior wall being made entirely of glass windows overlooking the city. to the right of the living room, against the wall, was a narrow stairway up to a loft, a bed with a closet to the right, and a door straight ahead opening to the one bathroom in the place.

"I LOVE THIS! OH MY GOD THANKS FOR HELPING ME WITH PAYING FOR ALL THIS AND JUST EVERYTHINGGGG!!!"

"yeah, call me when you need me!"

"oh you're not going to help me unpack?"

"i figured you could figure out you closet yourself. and there's really not much else to unpack other than that."

"okay thanks, but before you leave, just wait, lemme give you a hug!!" i rushed down the stairs to the kitchen. i hugged him tightly in the doorway and cried a little.

i was scared for tomorrow. i might feel even more alone here. what will i do?

"bye nari. love you and good luck tomorrow!" he said, walking out the door.

"thanks, bye, and love you too!" i smiled and shut the door.

the time on the microwave read: 10:52pm.
