"Ji Seul, are you sure you're going to be fine on your own?" Jaehyun worriedly said through the phone. "I will. Don't worry too much. I learned a new self-defense move thanks to you." I reassuringly answered.
I was on my home. It was around five in the afternoon. The skies were plastered with hues of orange and red, a little bit warmer than usual. The sun was prepared to set beautifully today. Some of the stores had already turned on their lights and some have already closed.
"I swear if anything happens to you I will—" I objurgated Jaehyun and said "You will what? Chill, will you? Are you being treated already?"
He hummed. "Very well then. Off I go! Bye!" I immediately dropped the call and hid my phone back to my tote bag. As I take a step forward on the asphalt floor, I swayed my left arm from back to front while my right was securely gripping on the handle of my bag. I take a good look of the buzzing streets and on to the people. The atmosphere of being here in the city makes me feel even more alive than ever. It makes my blood rush for some reason. From what I've realized, the city can never be lifeless. It's always breathing. It's always working. The lights, the sounds, the architectures, the colors, and the stories are what make it beautiful. I appreciate that in a whole different level. Maybe because I am biased. Or maybe because I know that I belong here. Or maybe because I am shallow.
But there's something else in the city that makes me afraid: the people. They can disrupt the city's flow. Their cruel acts taint the beauty of the city in every way possible. Now that I think about it, it's already being spoilt. And it gets worst every single day.
All throughout my walk, I was just minding my own business. I was speculating for aesthetically pleasing views and buildings to serve as my inspiration and reference for my next art exhibit. I took pictures and wrote notes. Three years here in Seoul is not yet enough for me to discover its fascination.
I lifted my phone in front of my face and placed my thumb on the artificial screen to take a picture of the famous Café Yeon Nam Dong. I intentionally stopped by here for the sole purpose of personally seeing its interior design and the cartoon-like furniture. They had series lights hung over the roof and a lot of cute decorations on the outside. After which, I continued walking to the direction where my house was located.
As I silently ambled my way, I heard faint footsteps from behind which gave me the chills. However, I just assumed they were my neighbors. The sun was still up there. No one would possibly try to harm me at this time. They could be seen. There are CCTV cameras hidden in this area. But even so, I decided to dig into my bag and hold onto the swiss knife Jaehyun gave me.
