Dream Life

Chapter 1

'Alarm ringing vigorously'

"ughhhhhhh......." like that I wake up, just like every morning, but today was different unlike the laziness which I feel everyday ,today I'm excited, nervous and thrilled at the same time 'cause FINALLY I'm moving to South Korea!!

Yes, I love Kpop and Kdramas and that is one reason why I wanted to go there but not the sole reason I'm not a kboo! But it is the culture and my type in guys and my wish to explore another country that has lead me to Korea. I'm not moving permanently I will transfer to another country after sometime but for now it is what it is.

BTW I'm Kiran, I'm Indian, I'm a Chartered Accountant with an MBA degree and I'm 25. It was a difficult journey convincing my Indian parents to let me go to Korea but I succeeded so I better work hard.

Back to the story...

I get up feeling refreshed and brush my teeth, and go to eat breakfast prepared by my lovely mom.

"Kiran I have packed your snack bag. check if you need anything else and tell me ok?"

"Yes, Ma!"

"Your breakfast is also ready, eat and once again check whether you've packed all your belongings and specially your passport and visa." mom said while leaving the kitchen to wake my brother and sister.

"Yes" I said as sitting down the dining table.

After breakfast I checked everything once again as my clumsy self I had forgotten my ID proof OMG how dumb I am! I pack and don't tell mom to avoid any scolding on the last day.

I take a shower and get ready to go to the Airport. I give my luggage to the driver to take it to the car while I say farewell to all my family members.

First in the line are my Uncles and Aunts (Chachas' and Chachis'!) , then are all my small siblings , then my grandparents who are teary eyed and Finally my mom who is on the verge of crying. I did my best on not to cry and sat in the car heading to the Airport.

I've my first flight to Mumbai and from there a second flight to South Korea. It's gonna be a long ass ride (NCT Mark reference! anyone?) i thought to myself.

I board my flight after 2 hours of waiting in the airport all because of my punctual Uncle who made sure I reached Airport 2 and a half hours before the flight, which I'm thankful for otherwise I would have been late.

I reached Mumbai and it was Lunch time and I ate Lunch (my fav KFC) at the airport and boarded my second flight to South Korea with a book "P.O. Love Box" which I started reading in the first flight and so far I'm lovin' it.

In the flight I met a girl my age from Busan, South Korea. She was lovely we talked in the flight and she told me how much she liked India and it exceeded her imagination also she told me about Seoul, about how people are there and whatnot , she works in Seoul in a cafe. Her name was Lee Eun Ra.

After reaching at the Incheon airport we both took a taxi to Seoul and we exchanged our numbers.

"Call me whenever you have a problem or need anything" she aid as I dropped her at the subway station.

"Thank you, take care." I said and we bid goodbye.

Yes, I know Korean. I didn't learn it professionally, just from dramas and internet nd my job didn't require certified Korean speaker being an International Company so yeah, I can communicate in basic words.

The taxi driver dropped me off at the hotel where I was provided temporary accommodation for a week.

"You speak Korean very well" he smiled at me as I got down.

"Thank you" I thanked him as he handed my luggage to the hotel staff.

He smiled once again and left.

I contacted the Company Human Resource department, from the hotel phone as I didn't have my local no. yet, that I had arrived. They talked to the Hotel staff and I got my room.

I checked in the hotel and connected my phone to Wifi and called my mom.

"Have you reached? Checked in the Hotel? Had dinner?" my mom asked without even taking a break.

"Yes mom, I've reached and yes I'm in the hotel room and I'm going to have dinner later." I said and smiled.

I told her the details of how was my flight and she told me how they were doing. She told me call her and tell her about the company to which I replied obviously hahaha and we ended the call.

After the call I slept for like at least 4 hours. After waking up I ate dinner, my instant cup noodles that I brought from India, and got things ready for work tomorrow morning. And then I slept again lol.

Tomorrow morning I woke up even before the alarm could ring, I was that excited!

I got ready went down to eat breakfast and then went to the subway station to take a train to go to work. It was a 5 minute walk to the company.

I stood and looked at the company logo that said "BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT".

"Let's do this! I can do this!" I said and entered the building in front of me.

Bighit was never my first priority but seeing their company grow so big because of BTS and TXT, I knew they had a wider scope and luckily there was a vacancy for the Finance Department.

I had applied and got in, so here I am.

Let's see what the future beholds : )
