《Not Anyone | Vernon Chwe》Chapter 4
Advertisement
When I got out of the airport, I feel like a whole new world just welcomed me. Everything about Spain is just different from my hometown.
It was already afternoon as the flight almost took half a day, but it didn't really matter, it was the right amount of long, or maybe it was just me, because I fell asleep almost the whole flight. I woke up extra early today than usual, so no one, I mean no one should blame me.
I chuckled at myself. I almost convince myself everyday that I'm a, somewhat, sad person but I really do know how to even make myself distracted, like how I literally checked out that guy earlier for my whole waiting minutes, and how I'm even making myself laugh right now.
I've been really weird lately...
I then again took a deep breath as I looked around. It's my first time here. If it wasn't for my phone's map, I'd probably look dumb looking around here.
It's actually beneficial to get myself a tour guide but... I'm broke.
My money's only enough for the hotel that I booked where I'll be staying in for two weeks or more and some other important things I need to stay alive.
"Hola, puedes...por favor llevarme...uhmm... a...este hotel?", I asked the taxi driver, barely even understanding myself. I showed him the picture of the hotel and he just nodded his head. (Hello, can you please take me to this hotel?)
I studied the Spanish language last night until midnight, but it seems like I've forgotten most of the things that I tried so hard to remember. Over night, how could I forget them easily?
But at the very least, I successfully asked someone to take me somewhere.
I sighed in relief as I leaned back on the car seat and waited for the taxi to take me to my destination.
I even had a moment to look outside and be in awe and can't keep myself from admiring the streets. It was beautiful, like how I expected it to be.

"Hola!", I greeted the lady front desk staff and she widely smiled at me. "Uhm...I uh...reservé..."
"It's okay ma'am. You can speak in english if you're having trouble.", The moment I heard her say that very first english word, I felt everything in me lit up.
"Oh thank you so much, finally.", I almost thanked her more and in a more absurd way but I immediately stopped myself when she chuckled. She's the second person that I met here and I'm already embarrassing myself...
"Yes, of course. You're welcome."
I awkwardly chuckled, "So uhmm... I booked a room here days before..."
"Alright ma'am, I'll just check it in a bit."
"Y—Yes, thank you!", I smiled at her and stood on my heel, still a bit nervous, as I waited for her to finish looking for my name.
I opened the door to my room and a beam couldn't help but escape my lips when the scent of the room welcomed me.
I dragged my luggage inside and gently set it aside as I plopped on the bed. It was so much more softer than my bed and I like it.
I stared at the ceiling and all the things that I went through played inside my head. I suddenly feel proud of myself, for still keeping my life together and how I managed to go to places.
Ever since I started working, ever since I started dating him, I feel like I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy myself like this, alone without worrying much about anything but just me.
As the bed got even more comfier, I wished for everything to stay like this forever or just for even a long while.
But no, I still have to buy myself stuffs from the grocery.
I went down using the lift, and when I got out the first thing I saw was the front desk. There wasn't a lot of people there in the lobby that this certain guy in a white shirt caught my eye for a brief moment.

He looked familiar but I can't seem to remember when or where did I meet him. How his body looked was almost vivid at the back of my head but I just can't complete it.
"Where did I see him again?", I mumbled to myself as I started walking again. "Or did I really see him somewhere?"
"Good morning. Yeah I booked a room.", I walked past the front desk and momentarily heard his voice, his deep but soothing voice, but it already repeatedly played inside my head like a catchy melody.
I told and made myself believe that it's rare for me to easily get attracted to guys but here I am, even getting attracted to that stranger's voice.
How I wish I had lack of attraction to everyone whom I know that I wouldn't meet again like any other people.
I went out of the hotel and luckily there was a near grocery store that was just a walking distance.
After getting everything that I needed, I went back to the hotel. But before I could even completely get inside the lobby, I slipped and fell out of balance but with a little luck, I managed to stay on my foot. But on the bad side, people stared at me, I could feel they're strong gazes towards me that I knew right there, I just humiliated myself in a place that I barely even know.
Oh just kill me now.
As my face screwed. I walked fast up until the lift, good thing when I got there, the door was still open that I immediately got inside.
I bit my lower lip as I shut my eyes close, mostly hoping that everything that happened just now was a delusion.
I haven't even been here for twenty four hours but I already want to go back, or maybe go somewhere that is nowhere near here.
I just want to cry, bundle myself in my bed and just isolate myself from people for some days.
I messed up! I messed—
"Uh—", I cut my own thoughts when I heard a guy's voice from beside me. I almost flinched but good thing, it was just slightly, but I really felt my heart skipping a big one beat. "Which floor?", He asked but I didn't take the risk to meet his face. I was just anxious that what if he saw me earlier too. It'll just double— no, triple my humiliation.
"T—Three, at floor three."
Still without looking at him, I saw his fingers pressed the buttons.
I straightened my posture but bowed my head so my hair would cover my face.
I know for a fact that elevators are short but at that moment it seemed like the time was intentionally dragging.
How can I even be this unlucky?
I looked down on my shoes but my focus immediately shifted when I remembered this guy's voice beside me.
His question circulated in my mind, trying to figure out why it sounded so familiar.
The answer was somewhere there inside my mind but I can't seem to take a grip of it. Without thinking much more, I just disregarded those thoughts.
How can I even worry over someones familiar voice when I also have tons of problems to be worried about, for example: like what happened earlier.
I feel like my braincells slowly dying. First, I have to learn Spanish, second, I'm literally trying to figure out almost everything that I encountered with which really adds up, and lastly, I have to figure out as well on how I'll stay here after embarrassing myself from people.

My Failed Reincarnation as a Demon’s Prisoner
When Kayn opened his eyes in the empty void, he was met with a familiar voice and the knowledge that he was neither dead nor alive and about to be reincarnated. What he didn't expect was to reappear in the world of the living and immediately get captured by a clan of demons, now living as their prisoner. After a lucky encounter, Kayn stumbles upon a room that could possibly give him what he needs to free himself from their captivity. But, as he soon finds out, escaping from the demon queen herself isn't the easiest of tasks... **DISCLAIMER**This story attempts to be quite comedic (I don't know if I'm doing a great job at it) and will be more comedy heavy at the start than later on. As the situations Kayn finds himself in become more grave, the story will become serious and less comedy oriented. There will always be comedy throughout, but at some point I do plan on shifting the focus. I'd love to hear everyones opinion on whether the comedy should be kept in full, or dialed back a little so the plot can take centre stage more often. Happy reading!

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
