Irene would be taking them to the airport, Tj sat in the back of the car, feeling exhausted from the whirlwind of emotions she was experiencing. Irene and Celia were talking excitedly about the upcoming trip, but Tj could barely focus on what they were saying. She just wanted to shut her brain up, she had no idea why she was feeling this way."You okay back there?" Irene asked, looking at Tj from the rear-view mirror.Tj forced a smile. "I'm fine" she said, though it was clear she wasn't.Irene raised an eyebrow, not convinced. "Are you sure?" she asked.

It was an unusually cold day at the office for TJ. As she prepped the conference room for the call between her company’s staff and that of HYUN-TECH, her fingers trembled from the cold. A collaboration between both companies seemed underway, and her excitement was through the roof. If all was successful, it meant a trip to South Korea for a few weeks. The thought of that was enough to make her feel giddy all over. She had been a fan of the Korean culture for as long as she could remember, and a trip there was like a dream for her. When the meeting began, she sat at the table with her Galaxy Book 3 in place, taking minutes. Her boss, Mr. Bouche had his back turned to her and the rest of the team as he spoke to the CEO of HYUNTECH and his team through a large screen. She did her best to focus on the meeting, but her heart kept doing backflips in her chest at the excitement of the Korean trip. She snapped back into the meeting when she heard laughter. It seemed like the business talk
As the plane touched down at Incheon International Airport, Tj could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She was finally in South Korea!

She grabbed her bag from the overhead bin and made her way down the aisle of the plane, her steps light and airy. As she stepped into the airport terminal, she felt a rush of adrenaline. She was finally here! Tj’s boss, Mr. Bouche, hailed her over to him as soon as she entered the terminal. “Come on, Tj!” he said, a smile on his face. “We need to get going. We have a tight schedule.”Tj hurried over to him, a little breathless. “I’m here, I’m here,” she said, trying to catch her breath.Mr. Bouche laughed. “Good, let’s go.” He led the way to the black town car that was waiting for them outside. Tj followed, her excitement mounting with every step. As the car pulled away from
Tj was still reeling from the events of the morning as she sat down on her bed at the hotel. Just as she was scrolling through the pictures she took with jihoon , her phone started to ring. And of course it’s Irene, it’s clear she had already seen the pictures that Tj had posted on the gram. "Irene!" Tj exclaimed, her voice full of surprise. "You've seen the pictures yeah, can’t believe I got to meet the park Ji-hoon“"Bitch! Just one day in Korea and you are already meeting celebs!" Irene said, her Nigerian accent proficient due to her shock. "Oya, start telling me everything, where? How? And why?!"

In the hotel room, Tj and Celia are pre-gaming before hitting the clubs. “ I am so not carrying you guys back to your hotel rooms so you guys better cool it with the shots" Marvy, the mum of the group cautioned. “ yea, yea mummy what ever you say" Celia and Tj replied giggling , it wasn’t their fault she decided to be the DD tonight. Tj was going to dance, drink and forget that gorgeous face that’s been stuck in her head all day . A chime on her phone signalled that their ride was here “Ok ladies let’s move out" Tj exclaimed with excitement and it seems she was a bit tipsy. In the car there was a lot of singing and giggling , the girls were ready for a wild night and ready to get lucky. The moment Tj and her friends stepped into the club, they were hit with a wave of energy. The music was pounding, the lights were flashing, and the people were dancing. The club was packed, but Tj and her friends didn’t care. They were ready to have the time of their lives. They headed to the bar
CHAPTER FIVE As Tj found her way to her sit on the plane sadness filled her heart, “Did I really have to leave this early?” she asked no one in particular. 18b, she had finally found her sit, she placed her hand luggage up in the rack and took her sit, she plugged in her air pods and began to savor her last moments in south Korea, “oh we’re sitting together” she shot her gaze to the person who had said that, Cecilia smiled at her and she smiled back, “I don’t want to leave” she muttered to Cecilia who was now sitting beside her “Believe me, after my experience in the club, I decided that I will never leave Korea , did you see those men? Did you pay attention to those abs? I’m just going back to L.A to get my stuff. I’m moving to south Korea” she dead panned, Tj laughed at her joke and she smiled. “You know what you should be worried about right now is the fact that Mr Bouche is flying business class and he has us flying economy’’ she scoffed “ right?
