A Day Without You

Chapter 2

Minutes later, they arrived at Sevit University, and Mr Kang drove into the school compound.

“I’ll lead you to your hostel, since you don’t know where it’s located. Then, we’ll go to the staff office where you’ll meet with your guardian.” Mr Kang said as they both alighted from the car.

“Okay.” Funke muttered as she took a look round the school compound.

“Woah! It’s large! So great and awesome!” She complimented as she placed her two hands on her waist.

“Let’s go Miss.” Mr Kang said as he carried the bags and they both started heading to her hostel.

On their way, Funke tried to greet many people she came across but it was all in vain as no one even gave her attention, not to talk of responding to her greetings.

“Why are they not responding to my greetings??” She asked Mr Kang who only smiled.

“Oh! That’s because you’re new here. They know that they’ve never seen you before, so they don’t wanna talk to you. But trust me, once you settle with them, they’ll know that you’re now a part of them.” Mr Kang said, and Funke nodded with a slight smile.

“I hope so.” She muttered as they continued walking.

After walking for few minutes, they arrived at a well built hostel. It looks so expensive and classic.

“Wow! Is this the place??” Funke asked as she gasped at the sight of the house.

“Yes. Do you like it??” Mr Kang asked with a smile, and Funke squealed happily as she jumped around joyously.

“It’s perfect! I love it!” She said with so much joy, and Mr Kang smiled satisfactorily.

“I’m glad you love it. I was praying so hard that you like it.” Mr Kang said, and she smiled.

“I can’t wait to go in. Do I have a housemate??” She asked.

“Yes. Two house mates. Actually, it’s four people in an apartment, but your parents said they want only three in an apartment, so it’s a three bedroom flat.” Mr Kang explained, and she smiled.

“Are they Koreans?? Or from other countries??” She asked.

“They’re both Koreans, but if you want me to change them for you, then I will gladly do that.” Mr Kang said but she shook her head.

“No don’t worry. I actually want Koreans as my house mates because I love Koreans.” She said and Mr Kang smiled.

“That’s good. Okay, let’s go in.” Mr Kang said and they both entered.

There was no one around when they entered, so Funke got a bit disappointed.

“I guess they went out for something. Or maybe they went to receive lecture.” Mr Kang said when he noticed the disappointment in her eyes.

“Oh!…” Her voice suddenly trailed off.

“Okay, so let me take you round the house. First, this is the sitting room for the three of you. Let’s go to your room. Your bathroom is there.” Mr Kang said as he dragged the bags along with him.

Funke followed quietly behind him. She was really disappointed because she thought she would meet her house mates and they’ll have fun together to celebrate her arrival.

Mr Kang opened the door to Funke’s supposed room, and they entered.

“Wow! How did you know that my best color is blue??” Funke asked as she gasped at the sight of the room deco.

“Your mum told me to keep the room deco in blue. I first guessed that your best color should be pink, but she said I was wrong.” Mr Kang said and Funke smiled.

“Well, you weren’t totally wrong because my second best color is pink, comes purple, then white, and lastly black.” Funke said.

“Oh! Okay. Let’s check out the bathroom.” Mr Kang said and took her to the bathroom.

“This is completely awesome!” Funke gasped when they entered the bathroom.

It was as spacious as three rooms joined together, and it was all painted and decorated in ocean blue.

“Oh mah gawd! I love it! I really love it so much! Thank you Mr Kang. Thank you so much.” She said happily as she checked out the bathroom.

“Press this button for shower. To fill the bathtub with water, either cold or warm, press these two buttons. The one that has letter ‘C’ inscription is for cold water, while the one that has letter ‘W’ inscription is for warm water.” Mr Kang explained, and Funke nodded in smile.

“I get it.” She muttered.

“So let’s proceed to the kitchen.” Mr Kang said as they both headed out of the bathroom.

“Are we sharing same kitchen or differently??” She asked.

“It just one kitchen. You’ll use the same kitchen.” Mr Kang said and she nodded in smile.

“That’s great! They’ll teach me how to cook some meals.” She said happily as she followed Mr Kang behind.

Few hours later, the door opened and two girls came in. They’re probably same age as Funke.

“Anyeongseyo.” Funke greeted with a smile as she sighted them coming in.

The two girls looked at her from head to toe as if she’s nothing, then without saying a word, they both headed to their rooms.

‘What just happened?? Did I just get ignored again??’ She asked herself as she watched them heading towards their various rooms.
