Arriving in South Korea (1/1)

It was the day of your eighteenth birthday, June 14, and your parents decided to go on a one-month vacation to South Korea. You were so excited that you had already packed your bags a week before the flight. You heard your parents calling you from downstairs, telling you to hurry up so all of you could get to the airport faster.And so you did. As soon as you and your family arrived at the airport, you and your older sister, Mina, went shopping. Your older brother went on his own, shopping for girls, and food. Then all of you regrouped and followed your parents to board the plane. Once seated, you put on your earphones, sat back and relaxed until the flight was over.Mina couldn't stop pestering you about 'what if you find love' or 'if you get your heart broken, don't say i told you so'. She was just so worried about you, but you told her not to worry since you were old enough to take care of yourself."Ate, tumigil ka na. Okay lang ako! Hindi na ako bata.. Wag kang masyadong mag aalala," you said."Pasensya na pero alam mo, sobrang protective ako sa 'yo," Mina said."Oh, ito...Pag na hulog ako sa pag-ibig at maging wasak ang puso ko, ibibigay kita ng 1,000 pesos," you said."1,000 lang? Wala ka naman ng pera! Oh sige...Deal!" Mina smiled widely and shook your hand to seal the deal.You chuckled lightly and smiled. "Matatalo ka, ate."After a long journey, the plane finally landed at Incheon airport in South Korea. Everyone got off the plane and you and Mina were the last to leave. Your brother, Yeojoon, was waiting for both of you at the exit. He sighed irritatedly when he saw you, because you were so late."Ang bagal nyo! Sa susunod, magmadali naman kayo, ha?" Yeojoon asked, annoyed.You became angry and stuck out your tongue at your brother, hitting him across the arm when you walked past him."Kasi naman ikaw..." you muttered."Hoy! Yeojoon, wag kang ganyan sa kapatid mo," Mina warned."Oh, anong gagawin mo pag tinuloy ko ang ginagawa ko?" Yeojoon asked. "Mas matanda ako sa 'yo. Wag mo yan kalimutan."Mina kept pointing at Yejoon and telling him not to hurt you, but that didn't stop him. Mina also became irritated and started hitting him. Yeojoon ran off to the exit of the airport and Mina followed him. You were left behind because of how slow you were walking.Suddenly, you accidentally bumped into someone due to the fact that you weren't looking where you were going. You dropped your iPod and gasped. The other person dropped his phone and bent down to pick it up. But he instead picked up your iPod, mistaking it for your phone then put it in his pocket. You shook your head and grabbed his phone, thinking that it was your iPod."Sa susunod, tumingin ka kung nasaan ka pupunta," you muttered. "At kung hindi - "You looked up and your eyes grew wide. You bowed your head and apologized several times. The person in front of you smiled, telling you that it was no big deal. He held out his hand and you shook it."Bang Yongguk ang pangalan ko," the man said. "At ikaw?""Si ___ ako," you said, blushing. "Sobrang pasensya na po.""___!" you heard Mina call out.You and Yongguk both looked to her direction. He turned back around to face you."Kailangan ko nang umalis," you said. "Paalam!""Paalam," Yongguk said, waving his hand as you ran to Mina. He grinned. "Ang ganda mo, ___. Dapat magkita tayo ulit."He let out a sigh and left. As soon as you caught up with Mina, she gasped and poured out questions all over you, asking if Yongguk did anything to you, etc. And when you denied it, Mina became very worried."Ate!" you said. "Ganito ka naman ulit. Always so protective of me! When will you let me go? I'm 18! Ate...please.""But ___!" Mina whined. "Hindi. 'Di pwede!"You made faces behind your sister while she turned around. You took out your phone, then realized that it wasn't yours."O...nasan ang phone ko?!" you asked yourself.You stopped walking, then went through your bag to find your phone. And when you couldn't find it, you dropped to the ground and took out everything you had in your bag. Mina turned back around and ran up to you."Anong ginagawa mo?" she asked. "Halika dito!"Mina bent down and helped you put your belongings back into your bag. She held your wrist as she ran up to the rest of your family. You then told your parents that your phone was missing. But you ended up being scolded for not being responsible enough to look after your things.Yeojoon let out a laugh. He told you not to worry and that you might find it soon. After a while, your family checked in to a five-star hotel where you all settled in. Taking out the phone you had earlier, you became curious and decided to go through it.You went through the person's photos. You knew you weren't supposed to be doing that, but curiosity got the best of you. Then the phone started ringing. You gasped in shock, throwing the phone away. You sighed and went to pick up the phone. You answered it."Hello?" you asked."Sino 'to?" the person on the other side asked."Ikaw ang nag tawag. Sino ito?" you said."Ako ang may-ari ng telepono na hinahawak mo," the person said. "Si Bang Yongguk ito.""Oh! Yongguk!" you exclaimed. "Ito si ___.""___!" Yongguk smiled. "Magkita tayo so we can trade. Sa tingin ko, mayroon akong iPod mo.""O, sige..." you said, before hanging up the phone.You excitedly picked up your purse and told your family that you were going to be back in a while. Mina's eyes grew wide. She stood up and told you that she wanted to come with you."STAY. HERE. ATE." you said loudly.Mina pouted as you walked out of the door, closing it in her face. You rolled your eyes while you left. When you arrived at the place you and Yongguk agreed meeting at, you spotted him sitting down at a bench beside a store.You took a deep breath before making your way over to him. When he saw you, he immediately stood up."Hey," Yongguk grinned. "Ito ang iPod mo. Pasensya na!"He took out your iPod from his pocket and handed it to you. As his hand touched yours, you got butterflies in your stomach. You couldn't move for a few seconds and was totally still."___?" Yongguk said, clicking his fingers in front of your face."Huh?" You snapped back to reality and shook your head. You chuckled lightly and handed Yongguk his phone back.You were about to leave when Yongguk stopped you."Pwede ka bang mag manatili nang sandali?" he asked."Uh..." You turned around to face him. "P-pwede."A smile formed across Yongguk's face. A smile that made you melt on the inside. Yongguk took your hand in his and sighed happily."Yongguk!" a girl called out.He gritted his teeth and sighed. The girl ran up to him and placed her elbow on his shoulder. She was tall, beautiful and had a slender and curved body. You became jealous upon seeing her and thought that she was Yongguk's girlfriend."Sino 'to? Siya ba ang syota mo?" the girl asked Yongguk.He turned to his older sister and bit his tongue."Ate, kaibigan ko lang siya," Yongguk explained.His sister smiled widely. You laughed nervously. His sister put her hand out and shook yours."Nice to meet you," his sister said.You bowed your head and smiled. When Yongguk's sister left his side, Yongguk let out a sigh of relief. He kept hold of your hand while he was talking to you and you were sure you were about to pass out. He caught you when your legs gave out."Okay ka lang?" Yongguk asked, worried.He helped you sit down on the bench while you tried to forget the feeling."Siguro..dapat magpahinga ka," Yongguk said."Hindi, hindi. Okay lang ako..." You put on a shy smile and stood up."Sure ka?" Yongguk asked.He placed his hands on your waist to keep you balanced. You turned your head away and bit your lip, making a bunch of faces to keep you calm. Like spazzing, but with facial expressions. Even biting your fingers.You turned back around and blinked several times at Yongguk. He then asked you if you had time to go around shopping with him and you immediately nodded your head."Great!" Yongguk exclaimed.He grabbed your hand and he started running off to a music store. Yongguk went through most of the CDs and asked you to pick which ones you thought were best. You walked over to him. He put on a pair of headphones on your head and you nodded your head along with the rythym.When you closed your eyes, Yongguk left your side to look for more CDs. And instead, another person filled his space. Eventually, you opened your eyes."O, Yongguk - " You looked up and noticed that he wasn't there. You were worried and looked around for him. The person beside you chuckled lightly which made you freak out on the inside. He picked up your hand, planting a soft kiss on the back."Kim Himchan ang pangalan ko," the person said. "At ikaw, aking maganda?""___," you stuttered.Himchan smiled and looked at you. "Hm, maganda rin ang pangalan mo. Ikinalulugod kong makilala ka."A scarlet colour appeared on your face. Finally, Yongguk came back and handed you a CD."I binili ko ito para sa 'yo," he said. "Akala ko baka gusto mo ito.""Salamat!" you thanked, throwing your arms around Yongguk.He was taken by surprise. He laughed and hugged you back tighter."Aalis na ako," you told him. "Magkita tayo ulit bukas!"You giggled and reached up to kiss Yongguk's cheek. Himchan gasped at your sudden move of affection. He lightly pushed Yongguk out of the way and quickly kissed your cheek."Ah..." You ruffled your hair in confusion and ran off.Yongguk crossed his arms and looked at Himchan seriously. Himchan put on a fake smile and rubbed the back of his head."Ano? Lahat ng mga babae palaging hinahalikan ka! Bakit hindi ako?" Himchan said."Pero iba si ___. Hindi siya katulad ng ibang mga babae," Yongguk said. "Hindi ko alam...Pero gusto ko siya."Yongguk smiled like an idiot while Himchan couldn't stop fantasizing about how beautiful and dreamy you were."Come on," Himchan finally said. "Let's go."-hey there :) please comment and tell me what you think ^^ some of the dialogues will be in Taglish because even though I'm Filipino, I have forgotten some words in my language (I grew up in Ireland) so don't be mad at me! :P
