"I'm not an alien. I'm an Astronaut."
"You're from Earth?"
"No."
"You're an alien then."

When she planted flowers on the graveyard of his heart, he thought that she will be there to water it too.
What h...
"It is so hot!" Jin complained for the thirtieth time already in less than thirty minutes since he landed in Dubai. Y/n smiled at him but dragged him to the exit of the airport. "I love the heat!"
"That is why you are so hot!"
Y/n stopped and turned around, scrunching her nose at his ridiculous comment. He smiled nervously and shrugged his shoulder but then straightened up before carrying the trolley towards the airport exit.
"Use your language translator, portable Google!" Y/n yelled and joined him. "It says Arabic but they know English as well," Jin told her and she gave him a confused stare. "Everyone knows English." She remarked.
"Tell me something in English then, butterfly."
"How are you? I am good. We Dubai. Go go!" Y/n said that Jin was awed at her cuteness when using her Korean accent in her English. "You are a great English speaker!"
Y/n smirked at him proudly and rested her hands over her hips. "Of course, I got good marks in English back in school." Jin smiled at her and waved his hand for a cab, his eyes still fixed on Y/n.
"I am sure you speak really well! You can handle this!"
-
"I take my words back! Let me handle this!" Jin said, pushing Y/n back from talking to the receptionist with her broken English and making them look like supposed terrorists.
"It should be a tourist! And no, we are not terrorists. I am sorry, she is a bit weak in English," Jin told the receptionist who was scared for her life while listening to Y/n calling themselves terrorists instead of tourists. He chuckled hesitantly while Y/n was rolling her eyes behind him.
"We have a hotel room booked here. At Burj Al Arab." He said, fluently and Y/n chimed in, showing two fingers. "Two days." Jin turned to her with raised eyebrows. "This one also two days? Anyway, the name is Rue Y/n." He informed the lady behind the desk and she smiled, nodding and checking the computer for the booking.
"We will assign you a bell boy who will take your things to your suite. Enjoy your stay," she said, bowing at them but Y/n approached her, shaking her head dismissively.
"No, we no stay. We tourist. We stay in South Korea! You know Seoul-" Jin pulled her back and smiled at the lady.
"Ignore her, please."
-
"Why are you ignoring me?" Jin questioned, following Y/n who angrily walked from one store in the Dubai Mall to the other without paying attention to him. He sighed, poking his cheek with his tongue as he watched her stand in front of a dress
She was holding the red bodycon dress, admiring it. The salesman walked to her from behind, licking his lips but Jin noticed him. He stood beside Y/n and put a polite smile on his face. "How can I help you, ma'am?"
Jin strolled towards them and stood tall, towering the sales guy. He smiled at him mockingly. "She is choosing a dress for me. So you can help me. Not her," Jin said and the man's jaw dropped at his words.
He smiled shakily and scratched his neck. "Dress for you, sir?" Jin heard Y/n giggling behind him but he was gazing at the salesman seriously. "Yes, do you have a problem? I cannot wear dresses?" Jin asked.
Y/n pulled him away and walked away from there, leaving the salesman in utter disbelief. "You are scaring him. He is just doing his job, Jin." Y/n complained, spotting the trial room.
"He is creepy! I caught him checking you out!" Jin argued but Y/n passed him a red suit jacket, motioning towards the trial room. "Go and try this. And wait for me, I will try this one." She said, lifting the red dress and Jin looked at her with big eyes.
"Y/n, if you wear this-" he stopped, shook his head vigorously, and quickly went inside the trail room, resting his back against the door and clutching his heart.
"My heart will explode!"
-
"Where did you get all the money from though?" Jin asked walking inside the underwater zoo and Dubai Aquarium. Y/n flashed him a lop-sided grin and turned to the front. "I used to save up all of my salary, remember?"
Jin looked at her in amazement and nodded. "Now, I know. You always wanted to travel." He said with a big smile but it faded when he realized something. "Wait, that means you are kind of wasting your years of savings by taking me on your trips."
She turned to him and smiled at him. The blue reflection of the water all around, falling on her face and the shiny effect of her eyes, she was saying something to him. She reached out her hand and took Jin's hand in hers as she grinned at him sweetly, causing his heart to skip a beat.
"How can I travel the world without you, huh?"
-
"Burj Khalifa!" Jin said, admiring the view of the whole city from there. "Are you writing the report?" Y/n brought his attention back to her and he nodded.
"I am. Every night before going to sleep, I add in my observations of the whole day." He said with a grin and she smiled, pointing something outside the window. "We are going there tonight." She said and Jin followed the direction she was pointing at.
"Where?"
-
"The Dubai fountains!" Y/n squealed and stood by the railing along with the crowd. She took her glasses off and admired the performance of the water with the lights.
She felt two strong arms enveloping her figure from the side and resting them on the railing in front of her. She gulped, knowing very well whom it belonged but she tilted her head upwards to look at Jin smiling at her.
"You took your glasses off," he rasped and she grinned, facing the fountains again. "Isn't this a beautiful sight?" She asked, feeling his body right behind hers as he placed his chin on the crown of her head and nodded.
"But the most beautiful sight is in my arms right now."
-
Jin smiled as he placed Y/n's head on his shoulder who was in her dreamland. He sighed and looked outside the window, seeing the clouds and the vast blue sky.
He moved his head and looked at the ticket in his hand and then read it slowly. He took a deep breath, his chest feeling heavy all of a sudden but he thought that it was probably because of the altitude. He tilted his head and rested his cheek over her head while whispering,
"Egyptian lands, here my butterfly and I come to you."

How did I even come up with the mispronunciation of tourist as terrorist?
