Hai, my name is Rachel, I'm 25 year old well that was 2 years ago. I finished school with a degree and started working as a sport and recreation manager at a hotel. I have been working my hardest for the last 2 years, even though it's hard but it's worthy.
Since school I have been wanting to have a work that requires me to travel a lot, but not all what we want we will get it. I have this school trip before where we go to korea and I not very satisfied with the time because I wasn't able to discover all the places there, so I promise myself that I will definitely visit Korea again.
I'm not a good student and my grade aren't too bad and aren't too good also, we can say it as 'Just Average'. I'm more of a fantasy person, always imagining things that impossible to happen, I have this imagination where I meet a top celebrity that I'm a fan of and be good friend, but it's just a dream that will never ever happen in my life.
I have this hobby of mine where I loved to scroll news before going to bed, mostly entertainment news, then saw this news where my most loved celebrity getting married. It was a sudden news and not even an official dating news before and now getting married, it's feel like your boyfriend getting married eventhough your still together, you can feel the broken heart even though you never meet him before. I know every fanatic fan feel the same.
I put the feeling aside and just move on, though I may be disagree a bit about the marriage but we can just wish them happiness, although I have thought that they won't last long. It been a few months after the marriage, I'm still curious about their marriage and stalk their social media and not a single picture of them together, I just let it off and just go on with my on life.
Now it been 2 years I have started working at a hotel and stress out a lot. Now I have enough money, I decided to go travel alone. I'm going to have the best time of my time.
The preparation is ready, I have list out all the places I'm going to visit and also of course plan out the budget so it won't go over budget.Two days later I have reached Incheon international airport, take my luggage and take a deep breath feeling the air around and its feel so refreshing, it feel so good to be back to the place I have been before. I take the most budget places I could find around Seoul though not exactly cheap but it most comfortable and strategic place I could stay at. Well I need to start off my time in a city and discover interesting around especially food hunting. I have apply for train and bus ticket, making sure it enough for my stay in Seoul. Taking the limousine bus from Incheon airport to myeongdong. I could walk but I decided to take taxi because it more comfortable when taking luggage.
I never travel alone before, so getting a lot of information is necessary. Staying at international Seoul youth hostel is more convenient for me because it's near the places I want to visit. Without wasting time after checking in, dropping out my stuff and get a quick shower and take step up to Namsan tower. Well Namsan tower is a must visit place in Seoul so why not since the hostel is very near, I can just take a walk to reach there.
My only goals is to take a look at the nice view of Seoul and taking the round-trip cable car. Some people think that it might be expensive but it actually very cheap for an adult. Travelling alone might actually help release your worries but it will be tiring to visit lot of places for a short time.
There are so many places to visit around Seoul just by taking buses or subway. Going to Namdaemun, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Insa-dong, Cheongyecheon stream and more. There is not enough time to visit in just a few days but as long as I'm happy it worth the sweat.
I never imagine to visit a lot of place in such a short of time but going backpacker is like that. Taking my last visit at Seoul and decided to take a trip to Jeju island. Jeju is an island and there is a lot of places to visit so it is more convenient to rent a car. Staying at the Jeju guesthouse and taking a walk around the area, it a breathtaking view for me to experience, so many places to visit I just don't know where to start. Going to the theme museum, to the theme parks and going to visit the cave, I won't get enough of the place, there is so many place to discover.
Well that is so far the trips that I been taking for the past 5 days, not to imagine it is very lonely, tiring and boring trips. There is no one to talk to and only taking pictures of the places and also binge out. Well not for long, not until that night I decided to take a walk around the island at midnight where some people might be already asleep. Walking around the beach feeling the breeze and hearing the sound of the sea beating, it's kind of relaxing and ease the mind. I could fallen asleep laying on the sand, then I get up and take my last visit to the chapel. Thankfully there is no one around when I get there, it a very beautiful chapel and not to imagine walking inside it calm the heart, from there I notice there is someone sitting in the front seat kneeling.
I shouldn't come inside, but my heart tell me to get inside and take a seat in the middle. I shouldn't have stay but I can't stop looking at the person kneeling for almost an hour now. The person probably in a deep thought and had many thing to repent on, I know it's not my problem to care for but I couldn't get it of my mind to not care and be curious. I get up, walk to the front seat and put down a bottle of yogurt drink "cheer up, God will hear your prayer", then I walked out.
"Wait" he said. It was dark so I'm not really sure if it a man or a women, but hearing the voice make it clear it was a man. I stop and look back. "Thank you" he said again. I walked forward to the front and sit at the opposite seat that he was sitting. I been silent the whole time since I don't know what to say, after a while I get up "I'm sorry I shouldn't have disturb" then head out. "Wait, I could use a companion"
It not very comfortable for me but since I started it I can at least lean my ear. I sit silently at the back sit of his sit and wait. "I'm willing to be a listener for you if you want too, that is the least that I can do at the moment" I'm not sure why I said that but what done is done.
After hours of talking, I can conclude that he divorced for like a month ago and couldn't really move on from it. I couldn't say much because I never been married and never been divorced before, I can only be a good listener. Never imagined it almost sunrise, the place getting brighter and from there I can see his face more clearly. It almost shock me to death because it is someone I never imagine to see and imagine talking hour with him.
"Are you Nick (just a stage name not referring anyone alive)?"
He looked at me and just nodded. "I'm very sorry to hear all the story from you, I shouldn't have mingle but don't worry I promise not to tell anyone" I don't know if this is a good or bad thing but I never imagine to meet someone that I'm a fan of."I'm very glad to be a good listener to you and I think that is the only thing that I can do, I think I should take my leave now but don't worry your secret safe with me" I couldn't get my head straight after knowing who he is.
"Wait" he said. "I'm very thankful for your help and you are a very good listener, I'm very glad to meet you and I like talking to you"
I think I'm going crazy just by hearing his voice, it's like a dream come true for me. I couldn't say much so I can only smile back, before I could walked out he stop me again."Wait!" He said. "I know I might sound crazy but I think I need to say this to you"
I could only listen and be anxious to his every word.
"Do you want to marry me?" He said. With his look, saying those word to a stranger must be a bad decisions, no the worse decision he can make, and I think my mind going to blow off just from hearing those word especially from a top celebrity.
"I know you might not be in a good mind but saying those word to a stranger is a bad idea" I might gone crazy for not saying yes but he is a celebrity and just divorce like a month ago, it not a very good decision to make.
"I know I might sound crazy but I really want to marry you" he taking his word very seriously and I'm not really sure what to say.
"Although I really want to say yes, but you are a celebrity and I'm just a stranger to you and not to mention that we only known each other less than a day"
"So that mean a 'yes' from you?"
I'm not very sure what going on inside his head right now but I think he is very serious beside we are inside a wedding chapel. I'm not sure what to say but having someone to say that for you is kinda a fantasy only happen in a drama.
I don't know why but I think I also not in my right mind when I said "yes" to him.
