Being in a long distance relationship is hard for many. I've been in one for god knows how long. The only exciting thing about it is when you both finally see each other after months or a year of being apart.

I'm living in Shenzhen china right now with my best friend Jun while my lovely girlfriend is in Anyang South Korea. We are both studying for a bright future. although we wanted to study in the same college, our dream drifted away because of her parents deciding to get her a scholarship. She got accepted in KAIST university since she studies really hard. For those who doesn't know, KAIST is one of the biggest universities in the country. Like Harvard. The US has Harvard, they have KAIST.

Anyways, I'm currently going to Anyang for the first time to surprise my girlfriend. It's my first time going to Korea so expect me to ask for directions.

I just got off the plane and Mingyu, Y/n's brother is gonna help me get to Anyang. I'm here in Incheon national airport because... Meh.

"Myungho-ssi!!" Mingyu runs to me.

Don't get me wrong, Mingyu and I are the same age. I just happen to be more mature than him.

"Oh, hello Mingyu-ssi!"

It's also my first time seeing her brother, Y/n comes to China instead of me going to her place. He's so... Tall...

"Woah... I didn't expect you to be this tall. You're like a bean pole."

"I get that all the time. It's pretty much a compliment. It's also a pity because my sister is short."

"Alright... Let's go get my bags." I pat him on the back.

I never knew I would learn Korean because I lived in china my whole life. I didn't expect to come to any countries aside from Hong Kong or Taiwan. How me and Y/n met was in a fair when I was in 4th year highschool. Their school had a field trip to visit Shenzhen, they didn't come to our school but we bumped into each other inside a fair. The first time I saw her, I wasn't really into women at the time but damn, she looked so pretty. I said sorry but she didn't understand what I meant and said "sorry" in Korean. Lucky for me, a friend of mine, Jun spoke Korean because he took Korean lessons. We happened to bump into each other for a few times when we were there so we became friends after that. We exchanged numbers and not so long after, 9 months they came back to China and I officially asked her to be my girlfriend.

"This is yours right?" Mingyu asked me.

"Yup, let's go." I picked it up.

We loaded the car with my bags and went off to Anyang. The reason why I never went to other countries is that I'm scared to be stranded or lost. Fortunately Mingyu has my back.

"So Mingyu-ssi, where is Anyang."

"You know where Gangnam is, right?"

"I know the place but I don't know where exactly."

"Anyang is just under the Gangnam. Here, Korea, Gangnam, Anyang." He spoke in English.

"I didn't understand a single bit."

"Oh. Sorry."

I'm not poor or average, my mom owns a mall in China, my father owns the fair I mentioned earlier. I never wanted to go to other countries just because. I have a valid excuse okay!

We finally made it to Anyang but Y/n is not here in their house. I finally met her parents and brother but she isn't here. Gosh...

"I guess I'll go out for a while?"

"Hmm, come back before sundown. Y/n's gonna be here." Her mother nods.
