The arrival at Seoul

On getting to Injeon airport Seoul, It wasn't as bad as she thought. With her mum dragging her luggage behind her, looking everywhere as if searching for someone.

 "How will we get to our destination from here?" Alex asked halting as her mum did the same.

 "Mrs Park promised to be here as planned, I'm sure she'll be here soon." Mary Ann said trying to comfort her.

 "You know how much I hate waiting right?" She asked her mum who haved a heavy sigh.

 "Let's just give her a moment." Mary Ann comforted again, trying hard not to provoke her.

 Suddenly, they heard a voice among the waiting crowd. It was Mrs Park. She dropped the cardboard paper hurrying towards them.

 "Mrs Smith." Mrs Park called as she walked towards them.

 "Oh Mrs Park, I thought you won't come." Mary Ann said as she took her hand into hers.

 "Why won't I? It was an appointment after all." She said releasing Ann hand.

 "And I guess this must be Alex." Park said, unsure of her guess.

 "Hi." Alex said timidly.

 "You're so right Park, meet my daughter..."

 "Mum, can the introduction wait for now?" Alex said sounding a little bit rude making Mrs Park somewhat surprised.

 "Alex." Her mum said in a whisper.

 "She's right, I'll have more time to spend with her after today.For now, I have to show you to your apartment." Park intervened with a smile on her lips.

 "What?" Alex asked in confusion.

 "Can we get going now?" Ann asked as she held her luggage while Alex did the same.

 On there way to Songpa-gu street where according to Mrs Park will be their new home. She couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful environment of Seoul. Alex smiled as group of student pose for a photo shot in one of the beautiful Lotte castle Gold. That made her remember her fun days in Harvard Westlake Middle high school, when she and some of her class friends pose in a shopping mall.with the aim of just getting a candy. She was daft to the dialogue of her mum and Mrs Park, which she thought as boring. 

 They arrived at a huge building that look more like an estate. Alex gasp in awe as she mount off the vehicle.

 "Is this the place?" Ann asked park as they unpack. 

 "Yeah. 6th floor." She said as she stared inside the apartment using the lift.

 "What did you say Alex." Ann ask impressed.

 "Well mum..." She stopped halfway as gze met with girl standing on the 4th floor holding onto the railings with a poodle standing next to her. She look stern as she stared at her strangely.

 "Alex." Her mum called out following her gaze. She smiled when she found out why her daughter is lost.

 The strange girl looked away, thanks to a little girl who seems to be her little sister tugging at her hand. With a word which didn't understand, she looked away walking in.

 "Already had a new friend?" Ann asked teasingly.

 "Are you serious now?" Alex said carrying a bag and heading inside.

 Mary Ann smiled as she picked a luggage following up.

On getting to the 6th apartment, they met Mrs Park on the line. 

 "Thank you." Mary Ann said dropping the luggage as she Alex did same.

 "You're welcome. I'm sorry, I really have to go now." Park said pleadingly.

 "It's okay, after all, you've done enough." Ann said.

 "Goodbye then."She said, embracing Ann.

 "See you tomorrow Alex." She said hurry away.

 "Yeah." Alex said.

 "Hey, grade 8 girl." They heard her voice at the elevator door while other discussion esued in Korean language.

 To Alex outmost surprise the little girl tugging at her elder sister hand was holding the box which was forgotten in the car.

 "Mrs Park asked me to bring this here." The girl said.

 Mary Ann and Alex exchange a confused glance. 

 "I thought you were bringing it?" Mary Ann asked.

 "Actually yes. But when things got out of hand, I dropped at the elevator door." Alex said owing up.

 "Thank God you didn't argue it over with me this time." Mary Ann said as she went inside while Alex collected the box from the girl.

 "Thank you." Alex said.

 "Welcome to Seoul." She said bowing slightly.

 "Thank you...was that your sister?" Alex asked.

 "Yes. I should run over now, she might get mad at me for wasting her time." She said hurrying away before Alex could utter another word.

 "That's rude." She muttered hurrying inside.

 "Isn't it cool?" Her mum asked just as she came in.

 "Actually mum, it feels like I'm acting a drama here. This is so luxurious." She exclaimed, dropping the box.

 Her mum smiled, walking towards a room. 

 "And thank God we arrived on a Sunday, because you'll be registered into Hamlin art high school tomorrow." She said exiting.

 "What!?" She exclaimed..."That isn't happening soon mum!, I have to adapt to this strange place." She said following her lead inside the room.
