"I am not a perfect person. I make a lot of mistakes. But still, I love these people who stay with me after knowing who I really am."

-Maddie-

"Last day in Korea guys~" Leah says in a sing song voice. She plops on the bed as she uses a towel to pat her wet locks that were cascading down her shoulders. "Yeah....I can't believe time moves so fast." I groan.

Capella sits next to me and Valery joins Leah. We all intentionally woke up early so as not to waste our last day here.

We had so much fun here the past few days that we lost track of time. I couldn't actually believe that after today, we will taking the next flight back home.

My thoughts wander to the memories we spent here. The amusement park, the shopping spree and the date. My immediately heat up and I giggle. I actually enjoyed our date. I would have never thought that Tyler would be such a romantic.

"Uh...Maddie? Are you okay?" Capella's voice cuts in between my thoughts. My friends are all displaying looks of concern, curiosity and an emotion I can't quite explain.

"Oh! Me? Yeah...I am totally fine." I answer in a flustered tone. Great job Maddie. You officially acted like some creepy lady. I mentally applaud myself for my stupidity. Valery raises her eyebrows in suspicion but kept quiet. I can tell by the look on Leah's face that she was silently judging my very very weird behavior.

Luckily, my friends shrugged it off. I heave a sigh of relief. Note to self, do not do that ever again.

"So any suggestions?" Valery asks, looking at the each of us. We all racked our brains for ideas. To be honest, I wanted to go to the nearby theater to watch since a lot of people recommended the cooking nanta. But I am not sure if my friends would join me.

After moments of silence, Capella states her suggestion.

"Maybe we could go to Insadong. I've seen a lot of people buying traditional souvenirs there." She grins. "We can also rent Hanboks there too!" Capella shows us a picture of the various traditional dresses on her phone. "Isn't that cool?" She squeals.

"Or..." Valery butts in, shoving Capella lightly to the side. "We could go to Ewha women's university." She smiles. "We could take long walks there and enjoy nature. Besides, there are also a lot of things we can shop. Like food, clothing and more."

"No no no. We should go to BTS's concert." Leah says, waving the other two off as she raises four tickets. She opens her bag and reveals four army bombs ver. 3. We all looks at her bag and back at her.

"What? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity." She shrugs, her eyes glistening with excitement. I bet she was fangirling mentally. I let out a sigh.

"All of our suggestions clash." I manage to say as I look down in dissatisfaction. Silence fills the air. Nobody spoke for a while. Then, an ding was heard from Leah's phone, signaling a new notification. Our attentions shifted to the phone as Leah's face fell in disappointment.

"Oh! The concert was canceled.." Leah mutters as she looks at the screen of her phone sadly. "I guess I'm okay with any of your suggestions. There's always a next time for the concert."

Suddenly, an idea pops in my head. "Hey! What if we split the schedule? We go to ewha women's university first then maybe we can go to insadong then watch something in the theater and maybe go to a place of Leah's choice?" I suggest, smiling.

Huge grins broke into my friends' faces as they all shook their heads yes. "Then, what are we waiting for?" Valery asks, happily. We all grabbed our coats and necessary items and headed out.

"Hm...so we are at euljiro-ga 1." Leah mutters as she looks up on the map, counting the stations. Her family has been to other countries and have used subways a lot so she knows her thing.

She purchased tickets while Capella and Valery bought some food to snack on later. With Leah as our guide, we successfully made it to Ewha women's university.

As soon as we got off, the cool morning breeze greets us. Leah shows us the directions and we were able to make it to the shopping district. "And here we are!" She smiles. My gaze goes to the long street of stores here. There were a lot of clothing stores and some souvenir shops here and there.

We checked out some of the shops and found some aesthetic clothes. "Let's come back here later." Valery says. "We might find something better."

"I bet you'd forget about it later." Leah says, sticking out her tongue at Valery. She playfully glares at Leah before laughing. Capella and Valery had to drag Leah and I out of the stores since we didn't want to leave.

"C'mon guys. What about the highlight of this place?" Valery whines, pulling a pouty face. We both sigh in unison and slowly trailed behind them.

While we walked around, we spotted a cool graffiti of angel wings. "Oh..this is a nice spot for a picture in instaback!" I squeal, quickly running over. We each took pictures and proceeded to go up. I decided to upload the picture while hiking up.

Suddenly, we stop walking and I bump into Capella by accident. "Woah....." I hear her gasp. I look up to see a beautiful school with huge gardens.

"This looks awesome." Valery says, taking pictures of the school. We took a group photo and selca. There was a huge garden and lush trees around every corner. The school stood majestically in the middle. They had their own museum and such. It was really cool.

After a few hours there, we bought what we needed to buy and left. Leah smiles widely as she hands me a friendship bracelet. I can see the other bracelets she bought for Pella and Valery. Each one was decorated delicately with intricate designs that suits each of our own personalities.

"Thank you..." I smile brightly. She nods her head and walks ahead of me to hand her gifts to my friends. We boarded the train and quickly sat down. I heave a sigh as I catch my breath. "So how is it so far?" Capella asks.

"This is really tiring to be honest..." I trail off. I don't really exercise as much so I am not used to walking such long distances. Also, I am a huge couch potato. I am used to chilling and cuddling with Capella's cat.

"Maddie, we can do it. We are near anyway." Valery cheers. I nod, hoping to distract myself from the aching feeling that was forming on my sore feet. Stay optimistic Maddie! This may be your last trip with your friends. I encouraged myself as I plastered a smile on my face.

Every moment must be cherished, whether it is everyday talking or a once in a lifetime adventure, it all must be treated with worth. Because once they are gone, you'll miss them and regret taking them for granted. It is not about how big or small a memory is, just being in their presence makes me feel happy and I am contented with that.
