*This is my first story from a personal experience*
Taylor stood at the arrivals gate waiting for Jung-Su to appear. She hadn't seen her friend since leaving South Korea 7 months earlier. They had been introduced through mutual friends and had instantly hit it off. Taylor had found comfort in having a friend who knew both Korean and English and obviously the country that was so foreign to her, so well. Although she never would admit it to her other friends and coworkers she had fallen secretly in love with Jung-Su shocking her in the process.
Taylor had come from a predominantly white neighbourhood and had only really been attracted to white guys. She did realize that there was an entire world of good looking men out there that were not white after arriving in Korea. Still the inside jokes about Asian men plagued her mind. After meeting Jung-Su she didn't really care about the jokes any more although she didn't push anything leaving everything to chance. Jung-Su was always respectful and never tried to make a move leading Taylor to believe that they were just meant to be friends.
After 10 minutes of shifting from foot to foot Taylor saw Jung-Su walk through the gate. He looked tired but handsome as ever. He walked with an easy confident pace with his suitcase trailing behind him and his carry on slung over his left shoulder. He was wearing his glasses which made her smile because it somehow upped his attractiveness. Jung-Su looked around trying to see where Taylor was standing amongst the hordes of people waiting for loved ones; he spotted her when she waved from behind a rather large woman. Taylor's heart jumped again as he flashed her one of his famous grins as he walked over to her.
"Hi there stranger" Taylor said not able to contain joy as she wrapped her arms around him loving that he was taller than average for a Korean at 6'2.
"You look good." Jung-Su said as he stepped back taking her in.
"You look like you just got off a plane!" Taylor shot back smoothing out his shirt.
"So do you want to go lie down or do you want to get a bite to eat or what?"
