Perpustakaan (atau kantin ya?) favorit di Seoul

Jadi belakangan ini ada tempat-tempat yang jadi favorit gw banget kalo ke Seoul. Awalnya sih karena pas gw dateng ke sana di musim panas, jadi mau jalan-jalan keluar tuh capek juga kalo outdoor terus. Jadi pengennya ngadem aja dan jalan-jalan kalo udah adem. Solusinya adalah gw ke perpustakaan seharian baca buku dan nongkrong sambil nunggu matahari tenggelam.  😙 Awalnya gw emang cuma sekedar tour keliling Seoul cari perpustakaan yang menarik dan nyaman, tapi gw menemukan better deal lagi yaitu kantinnya! Jadi biasanya perpustakaan umum di Korea itu akan gabung sama community center jadi pastinya ada banyak banget fasilitas umum warga disitu, salah satunya adalah kantin yang murah meriah! Makanan di restoran di Seoul biasanya udah menyentuh harga 10.000 won per meal, tapi kalo gw ke kantin ini bisa makan lengkap dengan harga mulai dari 5500-6500 won aja. Wow gak tuh. Jadi kegiatan gw pas musim panas kemarin bener-bener pagi ke perpus, baca buku, siang makan di kantin, baca buku ...

Let the mystery be a mystery

I was listening to the radio that I listen to every night, and this song came out. So I just get reminded of this story from 2012.

So 8 years ago when this song came out, I really really like it, and at that time, Beast was my favorite boy group and I especially love Yoseob's voice. So when the company announced a duet singing competition and they will give a lunch together with the singer as the prize for the winner, I was ecstatic. Because luckily, I was staying in Korea at that time as an exchange student. 

I was so excited, but I can't really sing and the high notes in the song are just kicking through the roof, so high. But I was determined. That was a chance that could make my stay in Korea more fun. Definitely, I thought. 

So I guessed I was up for the challenge, and just start practicing my singing so diligently. I memorized all the lyrics, fixed my pronunciation and just overall tried my best.  

But the deadline was near, so I recorded myself at night after class, and I had so many takes to perfect the singing. I wasn't fluent in combining audio files, adjust the timing, and everything, so I tried my best to sing it perfectly at one take, which was not possible. So I sang a few times till I realized I will rip my vocal nodules if I continue singing. So I finished it, and go to sleep after that.

The next day, my friend came to my room and said,

"Did you hear last night? there was a ghost I think, there was a sound of a woman crying and screaming, (name) heard it as well!" with a worried look on her face.

My roommate looked at my dead face while holding her laugh.

and I was like 😑

Me and my roommate just laugh in silence.

And I think I haven't told her until now. 

Let the mystery be a mystery. 💆
