"Uhmm... My reason wasn't gorgeous people for sure. You just wait and watch what is waiting for you." Tiara was giggling inside about her friend's reaction and couldn't hold herself back to tease her friend.
"Let's catch a taxi to the hotel. I booked." Kaashi suggested.
"Yeah, Let's go." Tiara agreed and started to go towards a taxi driver who was standing near his taxi while Kaashi just followed her.
"Hello, Can you take us to the Vin Costel Hotel near Hankai streets?" Kaashi asked the driver while the driver looked confused and Tiara was just watching the show standing beside Kaashi and seemed to enjoy it.
"Huh, Nǐ xiǎng shuō shénme? Nǐ xiǎng qù mǒu gè dìfāng ma?" - (What do you want to say? Do you want to go somewhere?) A little giggle escaped Tiara's mouth she was trying to hold it back until now but she couldn't hold it anymore after seeing Kaashi's widen eyes in disbelief and started to cough to hide her laugh behind it.
"Stop laughing and think about what we can do now?" Kaashi scoffed at Tiara.
Tiara ignored Kaashi and started to do something on her phone.
"Ugh, Is it important to do chatting with your boyfriend right now?" Kaashi asked freaking out but Tiara ignored her again and continued doing something on her phone. Kaashi peeked into Tiara's phone but Tiara shoved her hand toward the taxi driver and tapped on the speaker button.
"Nǐ hǎo, nǐ néng dài wǒmen qù Hankai street fùjìn de Vin Costel Hotel ma?" - "(Hello, Can you take us to the Vin Costel Hotel near Hankai Streets?)", A robotic voice came from the phone.
"Ó, suǒyǐ nǐ xiǎng qù bǎn huì jiē" - "(Oh, So you want to go Hankai streets)" said the taxi driver.
"Shì de shì de"-"(yes yes)" Tiara said while nodding her head leaving Kaashi in shock about her sudden change of language and how she knows their language.
Tiara typed something on her phone and played the audio again. "Zhè shì jiǔdiàn dì dìzhǐ." a robotic voice came from the phone and Tiara shoved a paper slip in front of the taxi driver at the same time. The taxi driver nodded and said "Okay okay, sit sit" he looked like he was struggling to say it with a lot of hand gestures to make what he was trying to say clear. They got into the taxi and stayed quiet during their ride to the hotel.
The hotel check-in went smoothly because they could communicate in English even though Kaashi wasn't much of help in it as well, Tiara handled pretty much everything till they enter their room.
"I knew you would come in handy because you have experience in different countries." Kaashi said proudly like she knew something like this would happen.
"Uhmm... Yeah, but those were English countries I went to." Tiara tried to agree with Kaashi but couldn't because she knew her friend is just blabbering. "Yeah, We should go to sleep now because it's already late." Tiara added.
"But you were sleeping on the plane as well and you still are ready to sleep!?" Kaashi asked shockingly with a little loud irritated voice.
"Yeah, I was sleeping for barely half an hour but then that couple started to talk to each other and mention me and said 'Oh, look she fell asleep' Then the man was like 'That's good, We can talk to each other without feeling awkward, I was like-" Tiara was just explaining but Kaashi stopped her in middle and said "Aren't you ashamed of yourself listening to some couple's talking while acting like you are sleeping!?"
"I didn't do it on purpose, okay? I was sleeping for real at first but then they mentioned me so I woke up!" Tiara explained.
"Then you could just wake up and stop pretending that you are still asleep." Kaashi scolded Tiara because of her behavior.
"Yeah, And scratch their happy moments from them? No thanks. I was happy that they didn't feel awkward because of me." Tiara defended her action.
"But you listened to their private talks, Tiara. You invaded their privacy." Kaashi complained again.
"Oh, Shut up. It was a public place and I didn't leak their private information to anyone. Stop it because you are talking to a political student right now. You can't defeat me." Tiara tried to end the conversation.
Kaashi sighs and said "Yeah, You should be in debate club as well, you know? No one can win from you."
"Not interested. I am going to sleep now. Good night" Tiara said and went to bed straight.
"Wait, Aren't you going to eat dinner?" Kaashi asked.
"Ahh, No, I already ate some snacks from my bag." Tiara's voice came from below the pillow that she was holding before her head.
"Jeez, Don't tell me you still take a lot of snacks in your bag." Kaashi refused to believe her.
"Yeah, What's the problem with it?" Tiara wanted to sleep but till answered her.
"It's… nothing…" Kaashi surrendered herself and ordered some food for herself.
The next morning, They started to get ready for the concert which was after 2 hours. Kaashi was wearing an off-shoulder purple top, and black shorts with white and purple sneakers while Tiara was wearing a loose white T-shirt, skinny blue jeans, a black shirt tied to her waist, and deep blue sneakers.
Finally, The time came and they reached their destination which was the concert venue. They were standing outside of the venue for the check-ins but Tiara was terrified taking deep breaths after seeing thousands of people around her making the place very congested.
30 minutes later, They successfully made it to the main concert hall with thousands of other people, within 2 minutes they saw 5 manly figures on the stage, and just like it the concert started. Kaashi was crazily happy and was singing the song with those K-pop stars in the crowd, She knew each and every word of the song that they were singing while Tiara was making weird worried facial expressions not knowing what they are singing, who are they or what everyone else was doing, She started to clap awkwardly after noticing everyone else's behavior, cheers, and song syncing because she figured that she can't cheer, scream or sing the song with those singers like everyone else.
After seeing the idols carefully, Tiara asked "Why do they all look the same? Are they brothers?" Kaashi glared at Tiara with a little shock in her eye and started to smile a little "No, It's okay not to recognize their faces at first because all Koreans look similar to other country people but their faces aren't the same." Tiara looked confused by her statement, Kaashi looked at Tiara again with an evil smirk forming on her face like there was something going on in her mind that she is going to do with her friend.
The concert ended after 2 hours, Tiara took a relief breath that she can get out of that place and can take the fresh air outside. They went outside the hall with everyone else but some people didn't want to leave the concert hall and meet with the idols but the security dragged them out.
Tiara started to search for a taxi to go to the hotel but Kaashi stopped her to do so and said "Stop stop, we aren't going back right now."
Tiara was confused and thought about what her friend wanted to do now and asked her "But why?"
"Because they are going to host a fan meet after 2 hours." Kaashi informed her.
"But everyone else is leaving, Are you sure there is a fan meet?" Tiara asked her being confused and doubting if her friend's information is correct or not.
"Yeah, Because they are unlucky and couldn't get the chance to attend the fan meet." Kaashi replied trying to make her friend believe her.
"But what will we do for 2 hours here?" Tiara asked.
"Well, Aren't you hungry?" Kaashi asked and Tiara nodded happily just to think about food as she wasn't carrying her bag with snacks in it. "Then let's go to a restaurant." Kaashi held Tiara's hand and pulled her in a direction.
After walking for 15 minutes they finally found a restaurant, They ordered food just by guessing what would be okay for them as they didn't know any Aglos dishes.
"The dishes' names were so weird." Kaashi complained. "That happens when you go to a new country" Tiara explained.
"Yeah, I just wish the dish I choose is good to ea-" Kaashi was just telling her worries about the dish she selected but got interrupted by a waiter. "Zhè shì nǐ de shíwù, xiǎngshòu"
"Thank you so much." Tiara said and the waiter just nodded and left. "Do you know what she said?" Kaashi asked "No, But I'm pretty sure it was about something like this is your order. What else he can say?" Tiara just explained how she just guessed what the waiter said and Kaashi giggled after hearing her answer.
Tiara was just about to eat her food but Kaashi stopped her and said "At least let me click some photos of these dishes before we eat." Tiara couldn't believe her friend that she wanted to click pictures of the food as well and said "You won't let me eat in peace, huh?" Kaashi ignored her and continued taking photos of the food from different angles. "You can eat now." Kaashi raised her eyebrows and indicated at food with her eyes while putting the phone in her handbag. Tiara just rolled her eye and started to eat the food peacefully.
They left the restaurant and reached a different venue which wasn't far from the concert hall and the restaurant as expected there was a big crowd as well. They entered a big hall with hundreds of other people and formed a line with others. Kaashi looked at Tiara who was behind her in the line wearing an evil smirk with a rogue look in her eyes. Tiara asked her 'what' by raising her eyebrows.
"I'm giving you a dare to do." Kaashi said with a smirk on her face.
"We aren't playing a truth or dare here then why will I accept your dare?" Tiara's eyebrow knitted because she knew that smirk and rogue look in her eyes isn't good for her.
"Don't you want food and go back to your home?" Kaashi tried to blackmail her.
"Ugh, What do I have to do?" Tiara sighs and asked.
"Do you see that guy wearing a white shirt with blonde-ish hair, you have to kiss him on the lips" Kaashi pointed to one of the idols who were sitting on chairs side by side.
"Are you crazy? They can send me to jail and I don't think I will get a chance to do it." Tiara sighed and said, "No, I'm not doing it, you can do whatever you want." Tiara shows her angry face to Kaashi with big doe eyes.
"Don't you want to go home?" Kaashi said sarcastically.
"Yeah, But what it has to do something with me going back home?" Tiara asked raising her brow.
"I won't buy your plane tickets or buy food for you then how will you be able to go back home?" Kaashi blackmailed her friend.
"Yeah, And my parents will literally kill you." Tiara threatened her.
".... Aaaann… Killing me won't take you home, will it?" Kaashi smirked wiggling her eyebrows twice like she knew she won.
"Yeah, but they will put me in jail that won't help me get back home either!" Tiara saw Kaashi with side eyes while pulling her jaw towards the right side gritting her teeth in anger.
"Well, You can just run away after kissing him." Kaashi suggested.
".....Uhmm.. okay but what about the cameras all over the place?" Tiara asked and it looked like she was agreeing to do it scared to be in this country forever.
"You can hide your face, just keep your face towards the idols. There are no cameras behind them." Kaashi pointed towards the directions where the idols were sitting.
"Uhmm, But didn't you say they are very famous?" Tiara gave Kaashi a final death glare
"No, If they were that famous then wouldn't you know about them." Kaashi said with an innocent face.
"Yeah… You're right…" Tiara agreed with her about their popularity.
"So, You are going to do it, right?" Kaashi asked for clarification with a big smile on her face.
"It's not like you left me a choice. I will have to do it either way." Tiara rolled her eyes and sighed feeling sad about her luck with finding good friends.
