Rin's POV
Len told me that he had a translator guide person to help him around Seoul. He didn't know a lick of Korean, and neither did I.
This'll be interesting.
We got off the plane around six in the morning. Len already had a reserved hotel for us to stay in, which was refreshing.
A limo picked us up at the airport and it was about a thirty minute drive. Len and I was silent. We just stared out the window, probably thinking about what to do now.
Kei and Haneul hasn't texted me or called me yet. I was relieved because I didn't know what to say if they were to speak to me. I broke a promise and ruined our friendship. I felt like a traitor.
The chauffeur helped us get our luggage out of the limo's trunk. We thanked him with bows before making our way into the hotel.
The great thing about this hotel is that all employees speak Korean, Japanese, and English. A little bit too convenient if you ask me. But, I'm not complaining at all.
Len told the lady behind the counter our room that we scheduled to stay in. She smiled and let us pass through. It was Room 125.
We walked down the long hallways of the hotel to get to the room. When we finally arrived, I threw my things on the floor and flew on the bed. "I'm going to sleep. Good night~" I sang to Len, closing my eyes.
Before I closed them though, I could see his lips turn up in a smirk. "Don't you need to take off your clothes, Rin?" he asked.
I shook my head. "Nah~ I'm all good."
"You'll get the mattress dirty, though," he urged.
I groaned, sitting up. "Fine!" I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out some Spongebob pajamas. "I'll be in the bathroom."
"Wait!" Len exclaimed.
I sighed, turning around. "What do you want now?"
His face turned red. "I-I was...uh…"
I raised an eyebrow.
"I-I wanted to...uhm...t-take off y-y-your clothes…"
I widened my eyes. "WHAT?!"
"I-I MEAN-"
"PERVO!"
"AH! WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THE LAMP?!"
The next thing I saw was the lamp shattering on Len's head.
"I-I'm sorry, Len...You shouldn't have been such a pervo...Hehe…" I laughed sheepishly while dapping a warm towel on his scratch that was on his head for the bleeding to subside.
He winced from the pain. "Yeah...It's all my fault." He rolled his eyes at his sarcasm.
I narrowed my eyes. Then, I pressed the towel hard on his scratch.
"Ow! Rin! Take it easy, please!" he begged, a slight yelp coming out of his mouth.
I smirked victoriously. "Sorry, baby~" I cooed.
"You should be happy that I didn't get so hurt," Len informed.
I shrugged, putting the towel on the nightstand beside the bed. "I already said sorry. That should be enough to heal-" I paused to poke his scratch. He screamed. "-that little beast there."
"STOP~!"
I giggled mischievously, throwing my legs over the bed and laying my head on the pillow. "I'm hungry, Len-kun~" He tensed visually. "Order some foooood~ Now!"
Len sighed, scratching his cheek with his index finger. "I don't like to be ordered around by my girlfriend, y'know…"
"Hey! That's what you get! You've been a bitch towards me so I'm going to be a bitch back!" I shouted.
He widened his eyes exasperatedly. This is too much fun! "So, you want to throw a lamp at my head?!"
I laughed loudly. "Of course!"
Len scowled, but after a while, he began to laugh with me.
Then, he ordered room service. Korean food is different than Japanese food, that's for sure. There was this one dish called Dak Galbi. It was delicious. It was literally just noodles and spicy chicken.
My stomach was filled with amazing food that made me have a huge grin on my face for the rest of the night. I took a quick shower and fitted into the pajamas that I picked out earlier.
Since there's only one bed, I told Len to sleep on the couch or something. I didn't feel quite comfortable sleeping with him in the same bed. Shame, shame, I know. I mean, he's my boyfriend. I should be comfortable with these kinds of things. But, I didn't.
Len understood and grabbed a blanket and a pillow from the closet in the bathroom. Then, he settled on the couch just across from the bed.
We stayed up all night, just talking.
And, it felt good.
I woke up that next day to find several text messages from Kei and Haneul. I expected much.
All of the messages were wondering where I was at, what I was doing, and why I couldn't say anything. I felt guilt churn inside me.
I needed some fresh air.
And fast.
So, I left a note for Len, telling him that I'll be out for a while. I fitted into some jeans and a sweatshirt because it'll be kind of cold today.
I walked out of the hotel room with a granola bar in my mouth. I decided to just walk around Seoul because I want to get used to this new environment.
Seoul was, to say the least, very...normal. Sure, there was big buildings and beautiful scenery. But, it wasn't like how I imagined it to be.
I need to learn Korean fast or I won't live for a week. I mean, we had the translator with us. But, sooner or later, Len and I are going to have to learn a bit of Korean.
I mentally noted to go online and buy a handbook of Japanese to Korean words.
Then, I saw a cafe. I smiled to myself. I need a smoothie or coffee or something that'll wake me up. When I entered, there was a cute Korean girl with light and long brown hair that bowed to me. "Annyeonghaseyo*!" she greeted.
What does that mean? Does that mean 'Hello?' I smiled. Then, I looked around. What the hell are these drinks? They were certainly drinks, but what are those things in the cup?
Then, the Asian in me came out.
Bubble tea! It's boba!
I face-palmed myself internally. Stupid, stupid me.
Then, I turned to the cute Korean girl. "Ahh…"
She must've got the hint that I didn't speak Korean. So, with the biggest accent that I heard, she started to speak Japanese. "Y-you...no speak-u...K-Korean?"
I shake my head.
Then, her mouth formed an 'O'. Next, she held up her index finger to resemble that this'll take a minute. I nodded to say that I understand. She scurried off into the kitchen.
After waiting a few moments, another cute girl with darker hair came out. "Hello!" she said in perfect Japanese.
I grinned. "Hi. Sorry. I just came here yesterday. I don't know a lick of Korean."
She giggled. "It's alright. We have a lot of foreigners that came here. You get used to it after a while."
I smiled wider.
"Sooo...if you don't mind me asking...why did you come to Seoul if you don't know Korean?" she asked, leaning on the counter.
I felt comfortable with telling her why Len and I did come to Korea. She seems nice enough. "My boyfriend got offered a job as a choreographer in one of the companies here."
Her eyes brightened. "Oh my gosh! Really? What company?"
I shrugged. "He didn't say."
She shook her head. "Ask him as soon as you see him. Or, better yet! Bring him here. I wanna see this kid. Hehe~"
I laughed. "Sure thing."
"Alright. Time for business. What would you like to order?"
Soon, I picked chocolate flavored bubble tea with a pastry to go with it. I haven't had boba in such a long time. It's definitely delicious. The lady even gave it to me on the house. Too bad I didn't get her name.
Suddenly, I felt someone bump into me. This made me drop all of the things that I ordered. "Oh my God! Are you kidding me?!" I shout out.
"Joesonghamnida*, chincha*. Jebal*…" The person bent down and tried to clean up the mess they made.
When they were done, I saw this person was a guy. He had similar blonde hair and blue eyes to me, and he was a bit taller than me. Then, his eyes widened. I blinked. "R-Rin…?!" he exclaimed.
I took a step back. "H-how do you know my name?"
That's when he opened his arms and quickly embraced me. I gasped. "W-what-"
"You don't remember me, Rin…?" he whispered into my ear.
I flushed. This is awkward… "N-not really…" I don't even know this person.
He let go of me but he still had his hands on my shoulders. I raised my eyebrows. He smiled, putting a lock of hair around my ear. "You got even prettier since last we saw each other."
I quickly slapped his hands off of me. "Okay. Dude. Tell me who you are before I call the police. This is creepy."
He laughed. "You haven't changed at all, Rinny-baby."
Rinny-baby?
That's when it all came back to me…
"RINTO~! You told me the answer to this question was A, but I got it wrong!"
"Ahh~ that's what you get for believing me."
"I'M GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE NOW!"
"That sounds like a personal problem."
"RINTO~!"
"Oh, my God! You sound like a baby. I should give you a new name."
"Noooo~"
"Rinny-baby! That's the one!"
"NOOO~!"
"Why? It's cute!"
"I HATE YOU, RINTO!"
"I love you too, Rinny-baby."
My eyes started to voluntarily water with tears. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and brought him close to me. He chuckled, smoothing my back. "Rinto...I finally found you…" I sniffled.
I finally found my older brother who I haven't seen in so long. This felt like a dream.
It felt like eternity, but we finally released each other. Rinto laughed some more, ruffling my hair. "It took you a minute and twenty-eight seconds to find out who I was."
I shook my head, a slight giggle coming out. "You're still the same weird brother who times other people on how long they take to do things."
He winked at me. "You know it!"
"So...How is your fiancee doing? I haven't seen her in a while~" I sang.
We were currently at Rinto's house. It was really normal, which is...weird. Especially for someone like Rinto Kagene. He's never had anything "normal" in his life.
Rinto sighed. He took a seat on his leather couch that was across from where I sat at. "We broke it off. I'm engaged to someone else now."
I blinked, biting my lip. Such a player. "Oh, yeah? What's her name?"
He grinned. "Choi Minah."
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, the irony."
He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean…?"
"Remember when you said you will never marry a girl who isn't Japanese? Well, look at you now! You're engaged to a Korean girl named Minah!" I exclaimed.
He laughed, slapping his leg. "You remembered that?"
"Who wouldn't when you said it everyday? It drove me, Dad, and Mom crazy!"
Rinto was about to say something until he stopped himself. His eyes trailed to the floor. That's when I realized what I said.
I mentally slapped myself. Rinto and I made a truce when we were younger. We promised to never bring up Mom or Dad. Ever.
And, I just broke that promise.
"Rinto...I'm so sorry. I-I wasn't thinking…," I muttered, clearing my throat awkwardly.
Rinto visually gulped. "It's alright..."
"I'm sorry…"
After a few moments, Rinto spoke up again. "So...why are you in Seoul anyway?"
I smiled, glad he changed the subject. "My boyfriend was offered a job as a choreographer in a company here."
Rinto widened his eyes. "My little sister...HAS A BOYFRIEND?!"
I gasped. "Why are you so surprised?!"
"Oh, my God! We should throw a party!"
"Rinto, this isn't my first boyfriend!"
Rinto looked at me with disbelief in his eyes. I gave him a shocked look. What the hell?! "Are you sure, Rin?"
"I am 100% positive, Rinto…" He's making me feel a little self-conscious…
Rinto 'phew-ed' as he wiped fake sweat from his brow. "Well, that's good to know my sister hasn't been single her whole life."
I rolled my eyes.
"You should invite this boyfriend of yours over for dinner tonight. Minah will be home by then. What's his name anyway?" He smiled.
"Len Kagamine."
Rinto shook his head. "I'm glad you know that...uh...Dad was lying about Len being a step-sibling. Or, that would've been weird…"
I nodded. "Yeah…"
Rinto stood up from the couch. "Anyway, I'll see you tonight...?"
I gasped mockingly. "You're already wanting me to go?"
"Yeah."
I slumped my shoulders, hitting his arm. "You're so mean~"
He patted my head. I growled. "Ah, stop being such a baby, Rinny-baby!"
I couldn't help but smile. Then, I scowled. "Don't you dare embarrass me in front of my boyfriend, got it?"
"I'll try my best to embarrass you~"
I punched him as hard as I can.
He yelped, "OKAY OKAY! Geez…" He rubbed the spot that I punched him at.
I smiled innocently. "Good. I'll be going now!"
"Thank God…"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"NOTHING, NOTHING!"
I laughed, making my way to the door. "I'll see you tonight. Both you and your Korean fiancee." It was still ironic to me how he said he'll only marry a Japanese girl but ends up proposing to a Korean girl.
"Okay! Bye~"
That afternoon, I walked out of my older brother's house with a huge grin adorned on my face.
