Angela's POV
It was 5:45 am when I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I needed to prepare for my first day in college.
I'm a little bit nervous at the moment cause it's a new school in a different country. I applied for the scholarship back in Nigeria and I was so happy when I received the email saying I gained the scholarship. It wasn't an easy call leaving my family back in Nigeria.
On my way to the airport it was hard saying goodbye to my sister but this is what I've always wanted and I've got it.
I've always wanted to study in south Korea cause I'm a die hardn k pop fan, my slogan is K-pop is lifeu.When I landed in Korea everything was just so foreign to me. I was lucky I knew how to converse in Korea due to the Korean I learned in Nigeria.
I arrived a month before the school year starts so I could get more familiar with things in Korea. I made a few friends during this period but turns out we attend the same college. They promised to tour me around campus when school resumes.
Kyung Joon and ga rin were so friendly, they were the friends I became close to. Park kyung Joon is from a well reputable family his father is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company in Korea while ga rin is from an average family her mother runs a restaurant in daegu and her father works for a large firm in Korea.
Kyung Joon was really friendly when we met I didn't know he was a rich kid chaebol. He was so down to earth, I met him the day I went to a restaurant in daegu which happens to be ga rin's mum restaurant.

Flashback
I was sitting alone waiting for my order to be served when he approached me. I felt a little bit uncomfortable when he sat on the chair opposite mine. It felt really awkward until he said
"Hello there, I'm kyung Joon it's nice to meet you"I was surprised that he could speak English fluently. He was a little bit forward for a Korean cause not all Korean are friendly around foreigners most especially blacks because they think we don't speak Korean well.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Angela" I replied with a small smile on my face.
He returned the smile which made him look really cute. He had a nice haircut, he wore a black pants, a white T shirt and a jean jacket. On his legs, he wore a white Nike sneakers. Perfect outfit for a cute young guy like him."Angela you look pretty and reserved, mind if I have your number?
"
He was really forward, how would I give my number to someone I just met in minutes. He noticed how uneasy I felt then his eyes cranked up in realization."Hey! I'm no stalker or serial killer. I just love your charm and hope we would hang out more and be friends" I sighed and smiled
"You were just so friendly around me so I got the wrong idea,I'm sorry" he was really cute when he smiled " there's no need to apologise I'd have felt the same way if I were you" I nodded in understanding."So, are you a tourist or you came here for a short visit" he asked
"No,I'm here on scholarship I would be studying here" his face cranked up in amusement "really?, school does not start in a month but you are here early"This guy is really interesting to chat with, he's the only one who paid more interest to me, maybe cause he speaks English well.
"Well, I came early to get used to the environment before school starts" he nodded "oh really? Mind if I show you interesting places in Korea? Korea is a very interesting place when you get to know more about it"
The waiter came and served my food and asked if I needed anything else. I said "no" since I wasn't too used to Korean food.
Kyung Joon ordered a drink so he won't feel left out while I eat. I ordered a plate of udon noodles with kimchi cause I really loved it.
I was starving so i ate really fast and kyung Joon sat there staring at me while taking a sip of his smoothe. There was about 10 minutes if silence before kyung Joon spoke"You are really good with your chopsticks most foreigners use fork instead" I had to swallow the noodles in my mouth before I responded "I learned" he looked anxious to ask another question but he didn't cause I was more interested in eating than talking.
When I was done the waiter came and cleared my table. Then i decided to ask a question "do you come here often?" He was happy I asked cause he was the one doing all the talking. He answered "my friend's mum owns this place, I'm a regular here. I help out when I'm free but she's not here right now. Would you like to meet her?"
Oh yeah, I would like to meet her" I replied "ok then I'll just call her"
He must be really close with her then, I felt he'd be bothering her if he calls her.
"why don't we meet her some other time, won't you be bothering her just to meet me?" He smiled and dailed it anyway.
He spoke Korea while talking to her he said"야! 가린아 어디야? 새로운 를 친구 마나자.
"ya! garina eodiya? seroun chingu reul manaja"
"hey garin,where are you? lets meet a new friend.
"지금와"
"Jigeum wa"
"Come now". He then hanged up, I was amazed cause of how fluently he speaks Korean too so I decided to show off the little Korean I learned."당신은 한국말을 아주 잘합니다
"Dangsin hanging Mal eul aju jal habnida"
"You very good at speaking Korea"
He was a little bit surprised that I speaked it with the right intonation."Wow! You speak Korean well too why didn't you speak it all this while?"
" You didn't speak to me in Korea so I didn't bother" i replied in a sarcastic tone. He smirked "you have a good sense of humor too"
"Ok, ok enough with the compliments already" he laughed.I met garin later on that day, she was also friendly like kyung Joon and I loved her personality too.
I, kyung Joon and ga rin became close from that day on.
