The alarm pierced through the room, successfully waking Bada from her slumber. Mustering up all the strength she had, Bada got up from bed and began getting ready for the day. Looking up the tour last night she had realised that it included a fair bit of walking so she wore her most comfortable walking shoes with a nice casual outfit. Throwing on a white shirt, she grabbed her bag and cap before making her way to the pick-up spot.

The morning air was crisp and clear as she waited for the bus to arrive. Bada took in the early morning sight of Jeju, committing the mental image to memory. It wasn't long before a bus entered her line of vision and she stood up to get on. The door opened and you stepped out.

Starstruck. That's what Bada thought. She was absolutely and utterly starstruck by your beauty. Because holy shit. When did God make such beautiful people?

"Bada Lee right?" You wore a bright smile on her face, eyes sparkling in the sunlight.

Bada realised she had been staring for too long so she shook herself out of her trance and returned the smile. "Yes, that's me."

"It's great to meet you! I'm Y/N and I'll be your tour guide for today."

Bada bowed and shook your outstretched hand. Repeating your name in her mind, Bada made sure to remember it. As she entered the bus she was hit with the cool breeze of the air conditioning. She found a window seat, stowed her backpack, and settled in for the ride.

During the journey, Bada attentively listened to you speak. Your voice was calming. Comforting in a way. You spoke about Jeju's history, culture, and natural wonders also including the landmarks you'd go see today. Bada swore she had never paid this much attention to anything in the past 10 years of her life.

Time passed and the bus was filled with small chatter amongst the other tourists. On this tour with her, Bada spotted a family with a child who looked like they were in middle school and a group of friends. As Bada looked out of the window, the island's beauty unfolding before her eyes, she felt an unusual sense of joy and wonder. Perhaps Tatter had been right to force her on this trip.
