Chapter 2

It was 1am when I landed in Seoul. The 16-hour flight took all my energy even though I was sleeping most of the time. And I realized it was a dumb idea not to book a hotel room beforehand. Now I need to wander through the streets of Seoul like a Zombie. Good that I didn't put make-up on or I would look much worse. I used the Restroom to wash the tiredness off my face. Ugh, it didn't help a bit. Only a warm and comfy Bed could save me. On the way out of the Airport workers greeted me and bowed down. Even though I was fluently talking English I was grateful for my Father teaching me Korean. I could communicate without any problems. I also greeted the workers and bowed down too. Bowing, a small gesture but for Korean's it was a way of showing respect. I took a taxi and told the driver to drive me to a good and acceptable Hotel.

"Miss? Should I bring you to a cheap hotel or a more luxurious one?"

I didn't know. My Father gave me a credit card for my needs. So I actually could choose between cheap and expensive Hotels.

"Uhm, between cheap and expensive please. There is no need to pay much money"

The driver nodded and started the engine and begun to drive. Seoul at night was a beautiful sight to behold. I couldn't wait to see how it was at daytime. Tomorrow I'll start looking for Sponsors or for Art enthusiast who would like to work with me. It would take me awhile. But it's better than marrying a stranger. I need to forget the arranged marriage.

I was half asleep when the driver woke me up. "Miss? We arrived. This Hotel belongs to one of my friends Aunt, Mrs. Kim. It's clean and tidy and the service is good too. You can trust Mrs. Kim just tell her Taxi Lee sent you" The driver smiled at me and helped me to get my luggage out.

"Thank you uhm, Mr. Lee?"

"Yes Miss it's Lee" Obviously.

"How much does the Taxi ride cost?"

"Oh, 53.369 Won Miss" I gave him the money and he bowed down.

"Thank you again for your hard work and for the advice Mr. Lee I hope the see you again"

"Tell Mrs. Kim to call me whenever you need a ride" I nodded and bowed down.

And soon Mr. Lee drove off. 2 Hours in Seoul and I already made friends. I went into the Hotel directly to the reception. There was not a bell I could ring.

"Hello? Is someone here?"

I looked around to find someone. Soon a short woman with black hair, glasses and red lipstick came out off a room which I assume was her office. I think she is in her 50's.

"Hello dear, how can I help you?" She was so cute.

"Mr. Lee sent me, I wanted to book a room" I said with a smile plastered on my face.

"Oh, Mr. Lee huh? You should have taken him with you here I didn't saw him for a long time" She said while looking for the key for my room. She turned to me with a smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't know that but he said I should tell you to call him when I need a Taxi, Mrs. Kim right?"

"Yes Mrs. Kim is right. What is your name my dear?"

"Ryu Rose nice to meet you"

"The pleasure is all mine Rose. Mr. Lee should have taken your number you are really beautiful" she winked at me.

Wow, that was fast. And me beautiful? I'm not beautiful. I'm not skinny neither have I the height of a model. My mood dropped at this thought.

"Uh" I laughed awkwardly "I'm not looking for someone right now I'm sorry and besides that...I'm not beautiful" I said looking down at my feet.

"Oh my dear these beauty standards shouldn't lower your self-esteem you are beautiful inside and out. Besides that, I didn't really thought that Mr. Lee would have a chance with you" she said laughing. "Now go and rest I can see you had a tiring day my dear" She handed me the keys.

I took the keys from her and bowed down. I went up to my room it was in the 2nd floor down the corridor. I opened the door to my room and was impressed. For a woman in her 50's she knew how to manage and clean a Hotel. And Mr. Lee was not wrong about her nor the Hotel. I went into my room and opened my luggage and took my pajamas out and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower. After all the skincare stuff I smeared on my face I cuddled myself into my bed. I messaged my Father that I arrived at my Hotel and told him what happened. I kept the messages short because I knew he was working. He really wanted to call me but I said I was tired after the flight. It was a 16-hour flight was it not obvious? He finally did let go of me and told me to sleep.

"Yes Dad I really should sleep" I mumbled putting my phone down. I fell asleep after two minutes. I dreamed about the near future as a known Artist in Seoul not knowing it's just a dream.




That was Chapter 2 y'all. Please comment your thoughts, do you like how the story is going? And don't forget to voteu :D

So I want you to imagine Rose like an average girl not like a model. The world is fixed on looking literally perfect that is why I made Rose' character and her appearance like this? I hope you get what I mean. Other Girls should get recognition too! :)

Bye :)
