I ran as fast as I can so I can catch the earliest train to Seoul.
I made it just in time.
I board the train and begin to search for my seat.
I have found it.
It was near the window.
While waiting for all the passengers to fill up the train, I took...
I've travelled to so many places but I've never been to South Korea. Most of my friends have been there and they keep on bragging about it until one point, I end up buying a flight ticket to Korea. I gathered all the information from my friends and studied the tourist attraction places and a few other places.
Since it's gonna be a 10 days trip including Busan and Seoul, it'll be a whole new experience for me because this is the first time I'll be going backpacking alone. Usually my best friends will tag along but I have no idea why I wanna go alone this time and coincidentally, my best friends are not free.
So, when I finally set foot at Busan, I was so excited because it was autumn and it's my favorite season. I've spent 3 days in Busan and I had a marvelous time. I've met so many people from all over the world and even the locals are very friendly. Some of them even offered to show me around.

Thank god I can speak basic Korean or else I'll be in deep shit because not everyone here knows English and honestly even though my Korean wasn't that good, and it seems like they didn't mind at all. In fact they're very proud that I know their language.
After 3 exciting days in Busan comes to an end, it is time for me to pack my bags and move on to the next destination which is Seoul. According to my friends, Seoul is where you could find your "Seoul-mate". Very funny! I know they teased me a lot since I'm the only one who is single among my friends and my life focus is only on work and travel. It's not that I don't want to find a guy or anything. It's just that I'm not ready yet and I don't even remember how it feels like to fall in love with a person other than the country that I've visited (yeah my life sucks and I know it.)
But everything changes when I'm on my way to Seoul. I decided to take the 8.30 am KTX train to Seoul and I woke up a bit late. Thank God I manage to reach the station in time. I was panting like crazy and when I finally manage to find my seat, I put my bag pack at the compartment and took a seat near the window.
The journey is about 2 hours 45 minutes so it should be enough time for me to take a nap since I can't hardly open my eyes. Before I decided to doze off, I plugged in my earphones and pick a song to hear. I chose Big Bang - Haru Haru since it's my all-time favorite song.
As I was listening to the song, my eyes were getting heavier and before I know it, I fell asleep.
I woke up an hour later due to a manly scent that has been lingered at my nose. I was still drowsy as I lay comfortably on someone's shoulder. It was pretty cozy somehow. Wait...shoulder?
I quickly lift up my head and lo behold, it was a guy! Oh my god!! This is so embarrassing! Never in my life have I slept on a guy's shoulder other than my brother or cousins...or friends...basically NOT a stranger!
"Good morning!" I heard his voice and I couldn't even look at his face because I was dying of embarrassment. But I know I have to apologize to him due to my behavior.
