Admiring the beauty in unfamiliarity, Hyun Bin strolled around the streets of this foreign country, immortalizing each moment of this freedom in photos.

He adjusted the settings of his camera to capture the serenity of the ocean, when he saw a disturbing sight of a woman trying to go over the stone fence.

He ran towards her, screaming in English, "Hey! Miss! Don't do it!"

The woman must not have heard him, because she continued climbing. Try as she might, the stone fence was just too high. Her arms kept her suspended, and her feet dangled in the air.

Thankfully, he got to her in time to get a hold of her. Grabbing her by the waist as he carried her off the stone fence, the woman's reaction lied in the middle of surprise and offense.

"WHA— let me go!!" The woman was hitting his arm in her attempt to escape, and when Bin released her into safety, the woman wore an unfathomable reaction in her face. "What do you think you're doing, you pervert?!"

"Pervert? Me?" It was Bin's turn to take offense. How was he called a pervert when he had the purest intentions in mind? "Miss, I was trying to save your life!"

"What do you m— ohhh," realization suddenly hit her, and she nodded at the misunderstanding that had just taken place. "I wasn't trying to jump.. I just wanted a photo of the ocean."

He was so appalled with her reason that he could not stop himself from speaking his native tongue as he scratched the back of his head, "Jangnanhae?!" [are you kidding me?]

"Omo, are you Korean?" The woman asked in Hangul.

Bin just casually nodded. He feigned nonchalance, while the woman looked genuinely excited. It wasn't that often that he met fellow Koreans while traveling, but he would not give her the satisfaction of the fact that he is somehow delighted. Afterall, she still called him a pervert when he tried to save her life.

...she wasn't trying to jump so there was no life to save, but it's the thought that counts, he thought to himself.

She spoke in their native tongue, and a feeling something he can't explain flushed over him. Finally, he felt something familiar amidst all the unfamiliar.

"I'm sorry for accusing you of being a pervert."

"It's okay. I'm not, though. Just thought i should lay it out in the open."

She let out a soft giggle, and he immediately saw how her eyes formed into crescents. Coupled with that smile of hers, he lived to witness what could potentially be the most beautiful subject of all photos in the world.
