Foreign Visiting Programme (BTS FF)

एक

"Call me when you reach, okay? Don't forget!"

"She'll definitely forget, aai (mom)."

"Shut up, tai (elder sister)! I'll call you, mom. Don't worry."

"Best of luck, daughter." "Thank you, dad. I'll call you when I reach. Bye."

Saee's POV

After 8 hours

Finally! After 8 hours I reached here, Seoul in South Korea.

Oh my! Let me introduce myself. I am Saee Joshi and I'm an Indian. Currently I am studying Korean and my college has arranged the foreign visiting programme. Fortunately, they selected me as the one to visit South Korea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"Hello aai, me pohochle.(Hello mom, I arrived) Now, I am going to my hostel. I'll call you later. Bye, mom."

Take a deep breathe Saee. Get hold of yourself. It's just a person! Go and ask the key!

(All the conversation from here will be in Korean.)

"Excuse me, hello. I am from India, the foreign visitor."

"Oh! Hello! I am Soohyun, the receptionist of the hostel. But you can call me ahjumma (aunty). Here, take this key. You'll meet your roommate in your room, since it's saturday. It's 201, 2nd floor."

"Oh! Thanks ahjumma."

Whew! That was tiring. By saying this to myself I started my journey towards my room.

3rd person POV 

A girl was walking through the halls when suddenly a boy was running away from his fangirls who were going literally bonkers. The girl was confused, she wondered, 'Why are the girls after that short guy if he doesn't want to be with them?' It was not a scene that usually takes place in her college since every single student is aiming for perfection and competing with each other rather than wasting their time (according to them) in relationships. She also wondered, 'Why was a GUY doing in a girls' hostel?' But she gave up on that and continued her journey towards her room.

The guy noticed the girl and realised that she was not Korean but left her alone for the time being to save his life from the crazy fangirls.

Back to Saee's POV

ROOM 201

This is it. I am finally going to fulfill my dream here. The dream of perfecting the language I loved. I am going to meliorate my speech. I am going to achieve my dream.

Take a deep breath, Saee. I heard a girl talking inside. I think I should knock.

Knock Knock.

Another girl knocked the door and said, "You must the visitor from India. I am Lisa. I am the one has the latest gossip of the college. I would like to know about you. Do you want me to show the college? Ooh, maybe we can do make up together? I am so excited! Let's plan a road tri-"

The door opened and a girl with long brown hair came into our vision.

"Lisa, are you hogging the new girl again? Look at her, she so scared! Go away!"

Lisa's face saddened, "I was just trying to be friendly. Sorry."

The familiar feeling of guilt started gnawing in my stomach. "Don't worry. I was just surprised. There's no need to be sorry! By the way, I am Saee Joshi, o-oh sorry! Joshi Saeem that's how you say it, right?"

"You must be my new roommate! I am Chou Tzuyu. And this is Lalisa Manoban. She is the social butterfly. Come on in! Bye Lisa!"

She, as in Tzuyu pulled me in the room along with my heavy luggage. 

On that day, I realised that I am an anxious, antisocial girl who lives on fandoms and love fictional boys. So, I really, I mean REALLY need to work on, my social skills otherwise I can't live here. I hope my next move would be better than hyperventilating while talking.
