Don't Talk To Strangers

When I was a kid, my mom always told me that, "Don't talk to Strangers" so as an innocent kid, I asked. "Why?". My mother looked at me eye to eye, "Because they will take you away from me".

Now that I'm a grown up lady, It still sinks in my mind. But as I also grow, I realized that 'Strangers' can also be turn into 'Friends' that's how I met my friends. And some 'Friends' turn into what we call 'Relationship' but since I'm busy with my career, I still don't find that 'Relationship' of mine.

But don't you think that some 'Strangers' are just 'Strangers'?

Going home late is my usual routine. Waiting for the bus to arrive and sitting at the very back of the bus. But this night is different from the other nights.

While feeling the cold breeze from the open window, the bus suddenly stopped.

It's kinda weird because the new passenger don't know how to pay nor to speak our language. He's acting strange. Thinking that he's wearing a full covered clothes from head to toe. Black cap, Black mask, Black T-shirt with Black jacket, Black pants and also black shoes.

Did he just attended a funeral?

He also don't know where to seat. There, he met my gaze. By his gaze, I knew that he has these hot aura but at the same time cute because of his cute little eyes. He shyly sat beside me.

OUT OF ALL THE EMPTY SEAT, HE DECIDED TO SEAT BESIDE ME?! WHAT THE HELL?!

I kinda feel uneasy because he's a complete stranger with matching weird actions. He slowly looked at me with hesitation.

"Umm, You...Know...Go.....Here?" he asked while pointing the picture of a hotel from his phone.

'Ahhh just a weird tourist' I inwardly said. Why is he strolling the city all by himself? It's kinda big though, he might get lost.

"Ahh The Diamond Inn? Yeah I know where it is" I said coldly. He's still a stranger so I should be careful.

He scratched his nape like he's not at ease. Is something wrong with him?

"You...speak Korean?" he shyly asked again. Oh I see, he can't understand me because he's from Korea. What should I do? I don't know how to speak Korean?

I will just gonna talk to him with hand gestures.

"I...ca-n't...sp-eak.....Ko-rean". He kinda get it so he think again on what to say.

'Ghad! this is so hard, talking to a complete stranger and don't know how to talk in Korean is more harder than taking a board exam' I complained inside my head.

"You..Umm....Walk..Me....Please...Here?" he requested.

I can't decide properly because it's really late. But as I look to this poor little cub— I mean to this cute Korean man it gives me guilt if I don't help him. My conscience will chase me!

I looked at him before I agreed,

"Okay"

and then he gave me an eye smile.

Gosh! He's eyes can't be seen if he's smiling too much! How cute! Wait? What am I thinking? He's a stranger, and strangers may do bad things so I still need to be careful.

The bus stopped at the park where the hotel is headed. As I stepped on the ground and the suddenly cold breeze makes my body shivers as if it detects that something bad will happen.
