MINZENG'S POV

Im finally arriving to Seoul, i've been waiting for quite long until i could come here... My parents always talked me about this place.

After all, they were raised here... I wonder how this place is... I hope to find a place to get inspired by and be able to express myself through my new works.

-Driver: Sir, we already arrived...
-Minzeng: Oh yeah, thanks (smiles) here you go... (pays him)
-Driver: Have a nice day sir...
-Minzeng: Yeah, you too (smiles and bows)

Well, for now... I can just say that people here are really nice... That's a good point. Anyway, let's see how my new flat is...

I grab my suit and get inside the building, I use the elevator to reach the fourth floor

I grab my suit and get inside the building, I use the elevator to reach the fourth floor. I feel a bit nervous since I haven't seen it yet...

I head outside the elevator, and head to my flat's door... I open it, and I find lots of boxes... Of course, the track must have left all my stuff here before... Seems like I have a lot to do...

I start unpacking, and placing everything on their right places, and about four hours later, I decide to stop so I can have something to eat. I seriously need to eat something... My tummy won't be silent if not...

Of course, at the fridge there's nothing... Ugh, I should head to a convenience store... I'm really lazy to head outside, but I want to eat, so... I don't have any other option.

I grab my wallet, my coat, and leave the building... Let's see if I don't get lost here... In any case, I can always ask someone... And if not, I'll just use my phone...

-Some minutes later-

Well, here I am... Let's see... What should I buy? It's not as if I understood too much about Korean snacks... My mom used to cook Korean food, but since I've been raised in France, I don't know about this snacks...

How about if I ask someone here to recommend me a snack? Yeah, that's what I'm going to do...

-Minzeng: Sorry, sorry...
-Girl: Hmm?
-Minzeng: Could you recommend me a snack?
-Girl: What? (confused)
-Minzeng: I'm new here in Korea, and I don't know which snack should I buy, I'm just asking for a recommendation if it's not a big deal... (smiles)
-Girl: Ohh... Well, this one are my favorites... (smiles)

-Minzeng: Hmm

-Minzeng: Hmm... I see, thanks, I'll take them and give a shot (smiles)

I take the snacks, bow to the girl, and head to pay... I'm gonna return as fast as possible, since I need to unpack some more still...

Once I'm back at home... I sit at my new couch, and decide to eat the new snacks... The truth is that they look delicious...

I take a bite, and God damn it! This tastes really good! They are perfect for my break... Yeah, I feel like gaining energy again...

Okay, time to continue unpacking... I need to make sure to have everything ready for tonight... Tomorrow I would like to start investigating around Seoul in order to get inspired and start creating new works...

CHAEYOUNG'S POV
Today something weird happened... I interacted with a boy who didn't recognize me... Was he living under a rock all this time? Well, maybe it's because he's new in Korea, but he could talk Korean really well... Uhm, how weird...

-Dahyun: Chaeyoung-ah, are you done with the snacks? We need to return back to the dorm... (smiles)
-Chaeyoung: Yeah, yeah, I have everything I need... (smiles) Let's pay and return...

We pay for the snacks and while walking back to the dorm, Dubu decides to ask about the boy from before...

-Dahyun: He didn't recognize you, right?
-Chaeyoung: I think he just doesn't know about us... He said he is new in Korea... (srughs)
-Dahyun: A foreigner, huh? Sounds interesting... Where do you think is he from? (smiles)
-Chaeyoung: Hmm... Maybe... Japan? China? Taiwan? I don't know...
-Dahyun: So, what did he want?
-Chaeyoung: He was asking for a snack recommendation... (smiles)
-Dahyun: I see... What a weird boy...
-Chaeyoung: Well, at least we can explain about it to the members... (smiles) It'll be great hearing something different...

MINZENG'S POV
-Some hours later-

Okay! I have everything ready... All my stuff is correctly placed and distributed now... I can finally rest after a long move...

Oh, I also bought some ramen before... I think that it'll be what I'll have for dinner today... I mean, I don't have anything else anyway.

I head to the kitchen, and while I'm preparing the ramen, I hear a blow against the wall... I guess that my neighbors are kinda nervous...

Anyway, I srugh it off, and enjoy my warm ramen while sitting on my new couch, enjoying a drama on my new TV... This is the best, but being honest, tomorrow is when everything will start.

I can't wait to take out my sketchbook and start planning my upcoming works... One day, everyone will admire my point of view with each of my pictures....

I really want to become a great paintor... It's just about time... I just need some more time, a bit of inspiration... And... Everything will go smoothly...

I finish eating my ramen, I look at my watch and it's still soon... But, what am I supposed to do anyway? I'm tired and I have nothing to do... I think that the best option is going to sleep...

CHAEYOUNG'S POV-Dahyun: So, after all

-Mina: You look happy... (smiles)
-Nayeon: (arrives to the dorm) How's that I didn't know that we have a new neighbor?!
