DAY 1 INSADONG, SEOUL

I thought i had fallen inlove with south korea.

I smiled as i looked around the old restaurant I found though an alley in Insadong. it felt so authentic, eating samgyeopsal there. The walls were wooden, the place didn't have air-conditioning, and nowhere was it fancy, I loved it.

I closed my eyes and inhaled.

Ah, the smell of freedom.

...I opened my eyes, and immediately turned my head to the direction of the sudden burst of laughter on the other side of the room. It was a group of guys. I was about to turn my attention back to the food infront of me when one of them caught my attention. Unlike the guys he was with, his silver white hair could make the whole room stop and stare....

...He was quite cute. Wow, I muttered to my self. ...

He had a nice smile; a defined jawline, too.

Even with the green jacket he had on, I could tell that he had a broad shoulders. He was the perfect combination of manly and cute.

I wondered if he were celebrity. But then again, I was pretty knowledgeable when it came to K-pop.

If he were famous, I would have surely recognized him. But he didn't seem familiar

Then, as if there was some sort of pull, his eyes found mine.

If i had been in kdrama, I would have been the shy girl that would look away ang blush.

But I wasn't in one.

Being myself,I didn't avert my eyes. I just looked back at him. So what if I was caught staring? He couldn't sue me for that. Sure, he might have thought that I was crazy stalker girl, but it wasn't .

Like I'd see him after that night.

I watched as his grin morphed into a close-lipped smile, and he tilted his head at me in curiosity. The corner of my lips turned into a smirk, knowing that i had caught his interest. A small part of me wondered if he would come over--

Whoa.Stop right there. Lets not get away in over our heads here, Yumi!

Our eye contact broke when the ajumma who seemed to own the store came with my second round of rice, one that i had ordered earlier.

Yes, I was a heavy eater and food must always come first.

"Kamsahammida, ajumma," I said, smilling at her.

She bowes. "Ne."

"Jeogiyo!" I called quickly, before she was able to leave my sight. "Mul,Juseyo."

"Mulyeyo?"

I didn't know much korean, but thankfully I knew enough of the language to know how to ask for more water. Everything there was spicy, after all. I even thought of buying some milk to drink from the convinience store after dinner.

I nodded." Ne"

when she walked away, I picked up my chopsticks and was about ready to dig in.

But then, I suddenly couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation at the back of my neck.
