"Yeah mom, I have everything!"
Exclaimed the [Hair-colored] female as she tried to find a way to get out of the huge train station. 'I swear, this place is larger than my entire hometown!' You though as you overheard some guys talking about you in a less than pleasant way.
'And it's filled with creeps.'

"Yes, I'm listening. I told you to not worry. No, I'm fine! Yeah, I'll get a job. Don't worry, I'll clean the place up!"

"Okay, don't overwork yourself, bye!"
You sighed as you closed your phone and looked around.

You have been waking for fifteen minutes straight and still no exit. 'How do people use this everyday! I can't even find the stupid exit' You though as you saw some fat guy with tattoos approaching you. 'Now's not the best time, buddy.'

"Hey cutie, you not from around here?"
He asked.

[Name's] P.O.V.

Really? Now? Can't this son of a bitch see that I'm trying to find the exit, I swear if he makes another move I'm going to call the cops, I haven't had breakfast, I wasn't able to watch the new episode of [Fav. Anime] and now my phone's almost dead!

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
You lied in hopes of this bastard leaving.

"Well then let's ditch him, I'm probably way cuter."
This guy is getting on my nerves, why can't some hot guy now appear out of nowhere and say he's my boyfriend to have this bastard leave like it happens in animes?!

"Sorry, I'm running late-"

"It's fine, you'll forget all about it when you come with me."
He said, now holding your arm. This guy is touching me with the same hands he was smoking with and judging from the smell, he probably hasn't even washed them!

"Don't touch me!" I shouted as I punched this bastard in the stomach, I think he deserved that.

*stomach growls*

And now I'm even more hungry! Luckily he pissed off but now I have to find some place to eat too!
As I walked along, I found a small place to eat, It wasn't too expensive either, even though the food was somewhat shitty I think I could make due with whatever they had.

[Narrator's] P.O.V.

The female soon ate all the food she bought, her poor table manners did receive some strange looks but that was the least of her worries right now, all she cared about was her poor stomach and the fact that it was getting late and she still had to get to her new home.

After paying the shop owner the money for her food, she once more took hold of her suitcase and decided to waste the little battery she had left to get home, since she claimed it was an 'Avengers level threat'.

After embarrassing herself in front of some more strangers, [Name] finally reached the place she would be calling home for a few years, or until she could afford
a nicer place.

She lived in a poor neighbourhood since the houses there were quite cheap even though it was a sketchy place and the neighbours didn't help calm her nerves either but she had to make do with what she had and in order to attend J High she needed an address since she couldn't exactly write 'some hotel 'round here' on the forum.

As she tried to reach for the key in the depths of her handbag she saw a glimpse of one of her neighbours. It was a short, obese guy with glasses. Appearance wise, he didn't look like much but he looked like a nice guy so [Name] decided to keep her prejudice to herself and not let it get in the way.

"Hi! You must be my neighbor, I'm [Name], I just moved here!"

Said the female with one of her signature smiles. It was like a trap card she used to get what she wanted but in this case it was simply to leave a good impression since even though she was quite up to date with western lifestyle, she was still a country girl so it would take her a while to get used to the costumes of the city life, especially one such as Seoul.

"Hello! I'm Daniel Park and I just moved here a few days ago too!"
He said while rubbing his neck with a slight dust of pink on his cheeks.

He sort of looked cute but that was another one of those things you weren't going to tell anyone.

"What a coincidence, next thing you know we go to the same school!"
Said [Name] chuckling slightly.

"What school did you go to anyways?"
He asked not really expecting your answer.

"Oh, I'm going to go to J High!"

"Really! My friend also goes to that school, he's sleeping at the moment but if you want he can walk with you in the morning since, you know, you go to the same school!"

At that moment [Name's] eyes lit up.

"Thank you! I really needed that! You see, my sense of direction is as bad as it can get and It doesn't take me much to get lost!"
She said while her cheeks were slightly pink from embarrassment.

This made Daniel happy knowing that for the first time, someone, much less a girl had acknowledged him and not resented him because of his appearance.

"Well, I have to get to work, bye!"
He said as you finally found the key to your house.

'I'm glad my neighbours aren't assholes like the ones I had at home!' Thought [Name], grateful for the kind boy she now called a neighbor.

*Time Skip to the morning when the alarm rings*

*Default phone alarm rings loudly*

"Shut up you annoying thing! Because of you I wasn't able to hear what [Fav. Anime Character] was saying to [Character], the scene was so dramatic too!"

Shouted the enraged female as some eye bags were visible on her face, and the drool from imagining steamy scenes with her ideal fictional characters.
She was about to replay the scene when she remembered that her neighbor promised a tour of her new school and a walk to said building courtesy of his house mate.

She didn't really expect the person she would be walking to be very handsome either but she was grateful nonetheless, anything is better than to be late on your first day of school just because of your cursed sense of direction. Or at least, that was what [Name] thought.

And in order to leave a lasting first impression on everyone she meets, she decided to actually bother a little more than usual with her appearance, going out of her way and applying creams, masks and much more to not look like a walking zombie but instead the ideal Korean beauty according to modern trends. This process did require her to change her entire skin regime a few months prior and it was hard but it payed off as [Name]'s skin now radiated and her hair looked like one of those Fartene* models whose hair looked like something out of this world.

*A brand specialized in hair products that I made up, based on Pantene, Fartene sounds much, much better, dontchu agree?

Hello! This was the first chapter of the LOOKISM book, though I'll also accept Lookism requests since, y' know, I'm into the fandom so It'll take less time since It's more fresh in my mind.
