"Joshua, I'll come to you"

# Airport
"Yes, I will do that. Thank you!"
Yes, that's all. I hope you have a pleasant trip.
I managed to get my reserved ticket to Korea with the help of an airport employee, and now I'm wondering what to do while waiting for my flight.
What should I really do? I'm going to eat the in-flight meal...
Should I contact Vernon? You're saying I'm going?
No, I'll have to do it to Sophia!
(Yes, Sophia is Vernon's younger sister.)◠‿◠)

✉️ Text message ✉️
'Sophia, I'm going to Korea soon too!'
* Vernon, it's a secret from Joshua
Your parents probably know
I'm going to hang out with you for a week!
-
Now that I've contacted you, shall we just look around the airport?
Actually, this is my first time at the airport.
So I don't really know... I didn't go when you went to Korea because I was annoyed.
Today, my parents drove me to the airport and we said a proper goodbye. They told me they had to leave for work even though it was the weekend, so I saw them off well.
My parents raised us to be quite independent.
So maybe that's why my brother is so independent?
I'm a little less than you, but I think accomplishing something on my own is really fun!
It weighs a bit on my mind to leave my parents behind and go to Korea, but since they left the U.S. for work and are having difficulty making a living in Korea, I guess it can't be helped...
I should take lots of photos in Korea and send them to you, and we should send you lots of our photos too!!
Anyway, talking like this has made the waiting time fly by again. It's almost time to board the plane.
As more and more people gather, I think it's starting to sink in that I'm actually going to Korea...?
# Inside the airplane
* "We would like to inform you of the following for the safety of our passengers.."
.

"Would you like a drink?"
*"Ah, yes, I'll have a Coke, please!"
* Yes, here is the cola.
* "Which in-flight meal would you like?"
"Um... please prepare Set B."

It's my first time trying airplane food, and there are already so many fascinating things. I'm so excited! I don't think I'll be able to sleep because I'm looking forward to it so much!!!

Can't sleep because you're excited? Do you feel like you won't be able to sleep because you're so looking forward to it?
I slept really well.◠‿◠
Vernon's father was already at the airport to pick me up, so I'm so grateful...
I was so happy to see you after a year that I didn't run over and give you a big hug, haha, but instead waved my hands wildly to greet you.
"Joy is here. It's been a while."
Was the journey okay?
"Yes! Long time no see, sir!!"
"Yeah yeah, you've been doing well, right?"
"Jisoo is amazing for finding a place to live and coming to Korea all by herself, and you are amazing for coming just to see her."
"So I guess we're siblings. We look alike, don't we?"
"That's right, they're alike. They look exactly the same, and they do the same thing."
"But, are you really not going to tell Jisoo?"
"I miss you so much"
"Hey, it wouldn't be fun if you did that as soon as you arrived~"
"Vernon doesn't know either, right?"
"Yeah, only Hankyeol knows."
"Joy, I heard you told me."
"That's right! Oh, right, please call me Jia!"
Hong Ji-ah◠‿◠"
"Alright~ Jia, welcome to Korea."
I miss you, oppa.
Let's just hold out for a week. Once I get there, I'll make sure to keep Choi Vernon quiet so we don't get caught...

Arrived at Vernon's house in Vernon's father's car!
Wow, what is this? The house is really nice somehow...
So this is what a Korean house looks like.
Actually, on the way here, I couldn't take my eyes off the unfamiliar yet new scenery unfolding beyond the car window; I just stared blankly, completely entranced.
My father seemed to be looking at me with great satisfaction, but I didn't know; I was just constantly exclaiming in amazement.
Korea is so beautiful.
It was so fascinating to stand on different land under the same sky for the first time and see such different scenery!!
# Vernon's House
* "Sophia!!"
* "OMG! Joy!!"
"It's been so long, I missed you!"
* "Me too T_T"
"Why have you become even prettier?"
As expected, the prettiest
"You're the one who's so pretty!"
"Welcome! My brother went out for a bit to meet his friends."
"I see, it must have been a while, Vernon."
Korea was so beautiful
"I'm glad I came!"
.
.
After spending a long time saying goodbye to Vernon's family and staying in Vernon's younger sister Sophia's room for a week, I unpacked and was waiting for dinner time when!
.
.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-
Ding-ding-
Wow, I'm really hungry.
"Mother, we're here!!"
"Huh? Hansol, is there someone else? I think it's a guest."
"what?"
Oh, are these Vernon's friends? They look really cheerful.
Vernon, who was the last to come in, must have just found me.
.
.
"uh!?"
"What the fu..."
...? That friend is swearing as soon as we meet after such a long time, hahaha.
