Daleun sighed as I asked another question.

"Can you just shut up?" He sighed closing his eyes and relaxing into the chair.

I pretended I wasn't offended with a brisk eye roll.

I was sick of being left in the dark. Usually going with the flow was something I didn't mind, but we were going to a totally different country. Thats a very diffrent kind of dark.

I looked at the time. We were just taking off and it was 5pm already.

After alot of messing around on my phone's calculator, I figured that it would be late afternoon in Korea when we arrived. I decided if I didn't wanna kill anybody I better rest up.

I decided to let the angst slip away and just let my eyes slip closed.

"Hey dummy, we've landed," a voice said, waking me up from the best dream about a lamaa and Starbucks i'd ever had.

I had blinked a few times before realizing that I and Daleun were the last on the plane.

I moaned and felt around for my bag. Under the seat above my seat, under my butt. 

It wasn't there, but it was in Daleun's hand.

He tossed it to me.

"Thanks," I gawked tiredly.

He just hummed a response, before leading me off the plane in a rush.

It wasn't till we were in the crowded airport, that I  realized we were, really were in a totally different place.

"So where exactly are we?" I asked in wonderment.

Again he was silent, but he pointed to a sign that was not in Korean.

'Incheon airport'

"Oh," I hummed "can we get food- wait do we even have any money?"

He rolled his eyes again "come on."

He started walking, leaving me behind.

Jerk in the red hoodie. 

I rushed to catch up with him, but the crowds were suffocating. He was always just too far for me to grab his sleeve. An inch away. 

Daleun suddenly slowed, and turned, grabbing my hand and leading me, zig zagging through the crowd.

Once we neared the door the crowd wasn't as bad, the entrance was just busy. Together we walked out to the crisp air of Autumn.

"I'm tired," he said.

"Me too," she replied breathing in the crisp air "want to go to a café or something?"

"Fine."

We must have walked a block and found a coffee shop right away.

After ordering and receiving two americanos, Daleun proceeded to exit the café, leaving me to scramble after him.

He already seemed to know where he was going.

I had seen him check a map on his phone while they were waiting for the coffee, and wondered where on earth we could be going. Nothing was predictable, every turn somewhere new and foreign. 

I could tell he felt my presence when I finally caught up with him, a smirk growing on his face. He handed me the coffee, acting like he wasn't paying attention.

He honestly likes playing with me I think. Driving me out of my mind. Making me suffer.

"Where are we going?" I repeated for the millionth time that day.

That was the last time I decided I would say that. His silence was surely going to be there every time she asked the question, so why bother wasting her breath?

Suddenly, he turned into a building.

Quickly, I realized it was a hotel. A very nice hotel at that.

It wasn't a super fancy hotel, but still nice.

They walked to the front desk.

"Annyeonghaseyo," the lady behind the desk said.

"May I please have my regular room?" Daleun in asked in perfect Korean "I'll be needing it for awhile."

The clerk's eyes flicked up to me, then back to Daleun.

"Oh ye, jamsiman," she clicked on the computer for a moment " Sorry we are full."

He handed over a stack, which was already into Korean won. He must've already exchanged the money earlier. I thought I saw an ID badge on top.

"Room 628, sorry sir, I didn't reconize you, it's very unlike you to bring any girls around here."  she said with a wink.

"She'll be around more often now."

Daleun thanked her and the two of them continued to the room.

"What did you say to the lady?" Ameris asked.

"Oh nothing," he said with knowing smirk.

"Then why did she keep winking at us?"

He just shrugged.
