Even the language barrier couldn't stop them from coming any closer.

☆☆☆

Another day under the bright daylight of seoul. its been two weeks since junhui shifted to a whole new country which he had no relations with but one of his close friends. He was having a hard time communicating. And he couldnt always have his friend around to translate it.

Thankfully, he had an online app to translate which made it quite easier, he knew this wouldn't work any longer he had to learn korean.

He knew some basic korean words such as how to say 'hello' , 'thankyou' , 'have a nice day' , 'can i get a' in korean and more but they were kind of hard to pronounce.

he was staying with his friend, minghao. He insisted him to stay in his apartment until he felt he could stay independent in a whole new country.

Minghao helped him find a tutor who could teach him korean. In the first place, junhui wanted to decline, 'we don't really have to look for one, you could teach me!'

Minghao shook his head, 'I could teach you but you need a tutor who could teach you better korean than me"

"I am going!" Jun shouted

"Lock the door when you go!"

"Okay" Jun locked the house down with the spare key minghao gave.

Today, unlike other days he had an urge to go the cafe nearby which minghao recommended.

The air was cool but the sun was out. Another day of jun getting to know korea.

The melodic ringing of chime sounded as the black-haired guy pushed down the door handle and slowly pushed the wooden door away from him to enter the café.

A few people sitting with phones in their hands waiting for their orders, some with the few learning notes in the hand, the other with laptops, because they were either working or just wanted to watch Netflix while they treated themselves with a cake or a coffee.

After ordering (with a translator) , he looked around for a vacant seat.
Luckily,he found one which was at the corner.

After few boring minutes, he heard his name, finally jun raised his hand to catch the waiter's attention. The waiter handed him his order,

Jun peacefully ate, just the scenario he had thought of. Eating on a peaceful day in a new country.

"Hey, may I sit here? All the seats are occupied.."

Jun looked up while eating, confusedly eyeing the boy who had a small smile plastered on his face.

The boy panicked, he blabbered something which Jun could not understand.

Jun quickly picked up his phone, opening the translator then typing,

Hey um I'm not trying to sound rude but i dont understand you..i can only speak chinese

He then showed it to the boy who slowly nodded, then shoving his hand in his pockets, taking out his phone.

After half a minute, he thrust his phone under jun's willing eyes.

Can I sit here? There seems to  be no empty place for me to sit

Sure have a seat

Seungkwan smiled, before taking a seat.

Thank you

Junhui smiled and shook his head.

***

Btw my name is seungkwan.

After few minutes of silence, which wasn't really silence- instead faint murmers which filled the air between them.

Junhui, nice to meet you

Nice name you got there

Junhui chuckled while saying thankyou.

Since when did you start living here?

Since Last week and what about you? Were you born and bought up here?

No I am from jeju, came here for college and you?

Transferred here for work

It's Difficult right? Transferring to a whole new country you don't even have any idea about how things really work

Really, it was tough. And the language, im still not used to it, my friend recently got me a tutor before I start to work.

That's nice

***

Minutes passed by, both were still engrossed in talking. Even their phones battery started to get low

Looks like my battery's getting low and my roommate is probably waiting for me. I have to go..

Seungkwan let out a breathy chuckle, to be honest, he wanted to talk to jun more but he was in no mood on getting lectured from his  overprotective friend. But it would be all worth it if there's any future for both of them- together.

Owh its okay

Jun didn't wanted him to leave, but he couldn't stop him could he? He sighed in disappointment, not satisfied to say goodbye

It was nice meeting you!

You too!

Seungkwan  looked at him confusedly, when junhui called out his name then furiously typing something on his phone then shoved his phone towards seungkwan,

I forgot to ask you, can i get your number? .. Maybe we could talk more..only if you want of course 

Seungkwan chuckled while taking his phone out,

xxx-xxx-xxx
Feel free to message me, I am free all the time

Junhui chuckled as he saved his number, then giving a missed call checking if it's the right number.

See you soon then

Jun waved at him, before seungkwan walked out of the cafe- not forgetting to wave back.

'All thanks to my good mood' thinks Jun.

And now he even got another reason to learn korean- a reason he wouldn't mind learning korean as soon as possible.
