"Ladies and gentleman we will soon arrive at the terminal. Please check to make sure... You didn't forget anything. When the bus stops completely..."
The announcement was made in the bus.. The passengers for a few more minutes stay silent before the bus started to slow..
Ji Ah sighs.. She puts her earphones and closed her book. Other passangers also get their belongings..
Bus stops..
Passengers takes their stuff before getting out of bus..
With all other passangers, Ji Ah goes to take her luggage.. She takes out her bag and goes to look for a cab..
After few minutes she finds one and gets inside...
She was checking her phone for a place to stay.. To her surprise, the prices are too high for her to aford..
I should have already planned for a place to stay..
She scolds herself mentally for her stupidity..
She keeps her phone down and looks forward.. Feeling hungry she thought of having a meal..
"Is there any nice restaurant?" She asked the driver..
"Yes mam, there is a nice restaurant near by.." he replied..
"Okay.. Please stop there.." Jiah says..
After ten minutes they arrived at the restaurant.. Jiah takes her stuff and pays the cab..
Jiah goes inside the restaurant and takes her place.. She orders some ramen and kimchi..
Oh.. I haven't called Seung ho yet..
I should first call home..
She takes out her phone and dials her home..
"Hello Jiah" Her mother answered..
"Mom" Jiah replied happily..
"Have you reached" Her mother asked..
"Yeah I'm at a restaurant.." Jiah says looking around before she looks at her hands.. Her thumb traces her finger nails..
"Ordered something"
"Hmm.. Kimchi and ramen.."
"You found any place to stay.." Her mother asked curiously..
Jiah bits her lips.. She thought to lie but then she decides against it.. "No.. I've just arrived here.. I'll look after having a meal.."
"Oh okay.. Tell me when you'll find one.. Your dad wants to talk to you.."
"Hmm.. sure.."
"Hello Jiah"
"Hello"
She talked with her parents.. They hung up after few minutes..
Jiah then called Sung ho..
"Hello Jiah.. You arrived here"
"Hello Sung ho.. Yeah.. I've reached here just now.."
"I'm sorry.. I couldn't come to receive you.."
"Its okay.. No problem.." Jiah says, though she wished he would have come.. They are meeting after two years now.. Though they have talked on phone, she has still missed him..
"Can we meet tomorrow? I'm busy right now.."
"Yeah sure.. No problem.." Jiah says..
"Thanks"
"Hmm.." Jiah says and they hung up..
She sighs..
Her meal isn't arrived..
Her thoughts started wandering to other places.. Mainly on what she is doing here in Seoul. She has no idea what she'll do here or for how long she can stay here..
Surely she came here for work and for her long time boyfriend Sung Ho.. They have been together since their college days and after college they never got an opportunity to meet.. May be she knows why he wants to meet her in person. She feels a pain in her heart..
She knows they might break up tomorrow.. She still hopes they could work on their relationship but it seems difficult.. Sung Ho has been behaving differently for months now and already has made up his mind for a break up.. She also doesn't feel the same about their relationship.. She wasn't much good at relationships.. but still she tried..
She is just hoping she'll find a good job.. Jaeho has provided her a job at his company.. He was her senior in college.. It seems nice for starting.. She wants gain experience and earn some good salary.. She has worked at a school in Busan but she wanted to became a successful writer... Writing is her passion.. She has given herself some time for writing and has completed four to five books..
She has told her father everthing and he has supported her..
Writing was the biggest reason why she came here to Seoul.. She wanted to publish her book..
May be I should write something..
She takes out her laptop and opens a new document..
She wonders on what she should write..
'May be I should write on my latest idea..'
She starts wording her imagination on the document about a detective and her latest case..
The detective is the best in her job and so far she has solved every case she has got..
She is a beautiful woman somewhere in her mid twenties..
She is an expert, with high IQ and good at dealing with crime cases..
She has got a latest case which is worrying her a lot..
He is the main antagonist of the story..
He is an expert and skilled doctor.. He is a perfectionist.. He performs everything like an art..
He is the most handsome and alluring man.. His great looks, smooth voice, his charmastic aura can easily manipulate anyone..
He takes time as he is making art.. He always takes from the victim as a prize..
He is taking revenge.. He won't stop till he completes it. He traps everyone who tries to stop him..
The detective is trying hard to catch him..
Jiah stops writing.. She can't think of any good ideas..
She sighs... She looks at her mobile..
Its been 17 minutes but the meal hasn't arrived yet..
Ah.., I'm really not good at waiting.
She looked back at her screen and relaxes on her chair, hands on either side of the table as she begins thinking what she could write more on the story..
"What happens next?"
A voice from her back makes Jiah scared.. She yelps and slightly shifts from her chair.. She almost jumped from her place.. She turned and looks back to find a tall man with red brown hairs, beautiful features, handsome face, a cute smile and a curious look on his face.., dressed in a brown pant, a shirt and a coat.. His aura felt different.. There was something in him that was attracting her towards him and puts her mind in a trance life state for a moment..
He is the most handsome man she has seen and she would have been mesmerized by him if she wouldn't be so surprised..
"I'm sorry if I've scared you.. I'm Lee Yeon.." He says rubbing his neck.. "I just caught few words from your story.. Find it interesting so start reading it.. If you don't mind, can I sit here?" Yeon asked signaling towards the chair..
"Umm... Sure.." Ji Ah nodded.
Yeon takes his seat in front of her..
"So do you just start reading anything you find interesting.." Jiah asked.. Yeon smiled at her.. "Not everyone.." He looked straight at her as if looking directly at her soul.. His eyes looked hypnotizing and for some reason Jiah could not look anywhere else but him..
"What are you doing" Jiah asked.. She was feeling anxious..
