"God, I am so excited to see this concert," I squealed as I bumped into a towering mass of human body and fell right on my butt.
"Are you ok" a male voice said in Korean. I stood quickly only to fall back on my backside because of the close proximity between the stranger and myself.
"Aah, my butt" I moaned and mumbled in english, as hit the floor for the second time and then took the hand the stranger offered.
He laughed as he pulled me up to his chest without any effort, "are you alright, I mean, is your... you know, all right" he quickly uttered in perfect english as he stifled another laugh. My head whipped up with a neck cracking speed at the english, there shouldn't be any other foreign fans this far away from the concert hall and this deep in the city. As our eyes made contact, my already wide eyes, widened even more as I took in the black leather and blonde mane being sported by Kris, our favorite Chinese-Canadian from EXO-m. My mouth dried instantly as I stared up into the eyes more than a head higher than my own. Why, why me? Why couldn't I just meet a cute boy in a normal way, and I thought tonight was going to be the best night of my life so far...
******************************Four Hours Earlier************************************
"Can you believe that a little over 16 hours ago we were in the United States...and now, now we're in Seoul! Freaking Seoul Ally" I screamed to Allison in the next room as I finished unpacking my belongings into my new room in our shared little officetel in Seoul.
"Yes, AALIYAH, for the um-teenth time, yes, it is AMAZING!" She yelled back, then popped her head into my room with a huge Ally grin on her pale face brightening her already glimmering grey eyes, and framed by her long, rose-gold blonde hair which was dangling down her face and leaning on the door frame of my new homebase. Allison and I have been best friends for umm, all of our lives, so basically since I left the womb-Ally was born on September 30th and I was born on October 31st, yup halloween and in the same hospital, its a little bit freaky. We have lived three houses away from each other all our lives and as an only children, we basically adopted Allison into my family. Even though high school and middle school sucked, I had Ally. A lot of people grow apart in those horrible, horrible years, like we did with our friend Madelyn... but that is an entirely different story. "Holy shit Liyah, you are done already" she whispered as her perfect almond eyes widened and she took a step into my ridiculously pink decorated room, elongating her body into its full 5'9" frame, " it has literally been two hours since we landed in Seoul international."
"Yup, and yup." I smiled up at her from my perch on the floor near my bed as I tucked my luggage away underneath my bed. I have always been a bit of a neat freak, so the impulsive to have my room in order, was pretty maddening. "I just need to add the final touched to my wall" I said as I placed a huge EXO poster above my reading desk and a smaller poster of Tao above my bed. "And now, my inner fan girl has been sated" I said as I grinned back at Ally, " do you need help or should I set up the shared spaces before we start getting ready for tonight?"
"Eeeep," she squealed as her grin returned and she began to hop around my room like an overgrown bunny. My and Ally are like ying and yang our personalities and our likes are so polarized it isn't even funny. I will admit Allison is more of the strong one in our friendship, she doesn't usually fangirl or look at anything "girly"-because you know boy bands are girly to her (as if, have you seen Changmin shirtless, I have, and none of that is in any way girly), but if there was one great thing we had in common, it was our love of EXO, I mean, who would love, tall, adorable-sexy korean boys who can sing, dance and make your ice cream melt with a fleeting glance.
"So, do you need help?" I asked while rolling my eyes, walking around her tall, slim frame and heading towards the kitchen all the while holding in my ridiculous fan girl instincts. We had tickets to an SM concert that night, which is precisely why we decided to take a flight into Seoul two weeks before our teaching orientation. Tonight, I was going to get to see all of EXO perform right before my eyes, we can't forget SHINee and TVXQ can we... and oh my God, BOA! I love her, she is so daebak! Tonight is going to be amazing I thought to myself as I started unpacking the already well stocked kitchen.
"No, I will be done in... give me one more hour and I'll come help you out here, I just need to unpack all my clothes and you know towels. I can't believe there aren't any extra-ridiculous sized towels in South Korea. I am so glad we watched all those teaching in Korea videos on youtube. I feel so prepared!" She said as she walked towards her room in the lofted area of our officetel/apartment.
"mhmm," I mumbled as I stuffed my face with one of the apples we bought from the mart across the street, "we would be bad youtube gurus... youtubers, if we didn't take other... youtubers advice" I laughed after I got my apple down.
********************** Three Hours Later*****************************
After unpacking and napping for a good long hour, Ally and I started to get dressed for the SM concert. Since we got to Seoul, we noticed that everybody seemed to be a lot more dressed up than the people in their early 20s that we were used to seeing in our small town college back home, but, again, we were ready- Youtube really is a life saver, it really helped me decide to take that fourth Korean language class instead of another English Lit one.
"Liyah, can I borrow your red lipstick?" Ally asked, head popping into my room once again. As I turned around to look at her, I blanched, excuse my dated phrases, but she was all dulled up. She had her cat-eyed liner and misty eye shadow on to perfection, her cheeks lightly pinked, her blonde her up in an artfully messy bun, and her leather pants and black sheer top combo with teal pumps were absolutely adorable.
"Girl, I am so done with you. How do you make teal pumps look good? I just, I just can't deal with all of this," I gestured towards her body and tossed her my lipstick.
"You look pretty darn good yourself" she laughed eyeing my fishtailed curly brown locks falling below my shoulders, my nude make up with a hint of red lips barely overshadowing my deep amber-brown eyes, my pale pink dress paired with black combat boots and a brown knee high socks to match the rest of my accessories. I smirked as I watched her put on the red lipstick, my only lipstick- I prefer lip gloss- then proceeded to herd her towards the door turning off the lights and grabbing out bags laid out on the kitchen counter as I did so. She laughed all the way out, knowing the only reason I was rushing her was because I wanted to grad something to eat near by and still be early for the a series of buses, we made it to the concert hall and then began trying to hunt down the address to a hole in the wall restaurant my Korean pen pal Tae yang unnie-she liked it when I called her unnie- had given me, it was a place which only a few natives frequented and was well hidden from most foreigners and a very many natives alike.
Before we got to Korea, Ally and I started a youtube channel in which we displayed our love for k-pop, j-rock, american music, fashion, you know basically everything thing we loved and hated. After two years of pouring our hearts out to the world, we finally started hitting 300,000 viewers per video and since we announced our stay in Korea, it seems like our fame has doubled, which makes sense since a large portion of our videos were of us dancing to some choreographed music videos one of most famous being Exo's "History."
We turned into a small alley way and entered a side door into the smallest restaurant I had seen in the four blocks we had just walked, but what could I say, Ally had a good eye for restaurants. The inside was gorgeous with little privacy booths and cute curtains to give the illusion of eating alone in a restaurant full of people and the smells nearly drowned me with my own hunger as we found seats and ordered. Still in my head, thinking about EXO and all of SM's ridiculously handsome talent, I excused myself and made my way to the toilets.
"God, I am so excited to see this concert," I squealed as I bumped into a towering mass of human body and fell right on my butt.
"Are you ok" a male voice said in Korean. I stood quickly only to fall back on my backside because of the close proximity between the stranger and myself.
"Aah, my butt" I moaned and mumbled in english, as hit the floor for the second time and then took the hand the stranger offered.
