Chapter 2
"You must be going on a date today!" Exclaimed my hair artist. "What nonsense are you spouting", I grinned at her. "You know that's impossible. I'm doing this for myself. I'm flying to Osaka tomorrow to attend BTS' concert." I'm getting my hair done and this hair stylist Kim Yoona is my friend and apparently she knows about my terrible love life.
I live alone in Korea and my parents live in j.a.pan. Currently I'm in my last year of college and I'm single. I'm a philophobic that is I strongly don't believe in "love".

As soon as the taxi moved along the allies of this peaceful city, I could see those beautiful cherry blossoms and immediately all those pent-up memories flooded my mind. I was running away from this city. I ran away from the people who were in this memory and most importantly I was running away from myself.
