Forced to Marry a Teacher
82. Welcome to South Korea



At exactly 19:00 Korean time, the plane aboard Astrid and Janus landed at Incheon International Airport. The two-hour time difference between Korea and Indonesia makes the sun there sink faster. The situation in Korea at that time had entered the afternoon.


Astrid stared at the clock that was coiled around her arm still showing it at 17:00.


"It's only five o'clock in the afternoon but why it's dark" Astrid whispered into Janus' ear.


Janus laughed at the whisper that his wife made. "Your hand is still following Indonesian time. We are already in Korea, the time difference between Korea and Indonesia is about two hours. If your watch is five o'clock in the afternoon, it means it's here at seven."


"I think my watch is broken in fact I forgot if I set foot in the land of oppas" Astrid murmured while embracing Janus' arm.


"Remember, even though this is where the actors you idolize are drawn. But your oppa is just me" grumbled Janus.


Astrid held out her two thumbs. "Neomu motsita, Janus oppa." (You're so handsome brother Janus)


Instantly the red hue on Janus' face appeared. He shook his head at the praise from the Korean language that his wife said.


"It looks like you're already good at Korean. If I stay, you have no trouble because you are good at speaking Korean" Janus joked.


Astrid shook her head. "No, don't leave me. I can only learn some of the vocabulary I learned through drama. If you leave me alone, airport officials may announce a missing child" he said with a stifled look.


Janus then laughed, he did not expect that his wife would take his jokes seriously. To make Astrid hold her husband's arm tightly.


Shortly after leaving the airport, Janus and Astrid board a taxi to where her mother lives. During the trip, Astrid gazed at the glittering lights of the buildings in the city of Seoul through the taxi window. Not to forget Astrid also had time to see the most famous river in Korea, what more river if not the Han river. Feels a dream for him, for the first time he saw the city as well as the river that he could only see through Korean drama, now he saw it for real. Even he went to the land of ginseng with men of Korean descent as well. Didn't Astrid already look like the main character in a Korean drama. Having a handsome husband like a Korean actor and he also set foot on the ground which he called the oppa country. How happy Astrid is. However, behind his pleasure, he also felt nervous about meeting the woman who had given birth to his soulmate.

Arriving at the destination, after paying a taxi. Janus and Astrid went down. How nervous Astrid was when she set foot in front of the apartment building, which she said was a building that contained an apartment owned by her mother-in-law.


Astrid took a deep breath and exhaled it quickly. "Sister, is my appearance still pretty?" astrid asked in a nervous tone.


"I told you, no matter how you look, you're still beautiful. So there is no need to be nervous, if you meet my mother later," said Janus smiling.


Janus and Astrid immediately take the elevator to the ninth floor, to Yuna's apartment. Arriving in front of the apartment, Janus immediately pressed the bell button. However, Janus repeatedly presses the button, Yuna does not seem to open the door of her apartment.


"Sister, it looks like your mother isn't inside. Should we just wait or come back tomorrow?" ask Astrid.


"There is no need to wait or come back tomorrow, because it's already night if you have to find a hotel. I know the password of this apartment," said Janus while pressing the password button next to the door.


After Janus pressed the password, the door finally opened. However, there was something strange after Janus and Astrid entered the apartment. All the funiture in the apartment was covered with white cloth and the floor was a little dusty.


"Is this really where your mother lives, brother?" astrid asked in surprise with her eyes twisting around the room.


"But this place seems to have been empty for a long time" Astrid said in surprise.


"We better get this place cleaned up first, and tonight we'll just stay here. Tomorrow morning we go to Busan, to my aunt's house. I have to see my aunt if I want to know where my mother is" Janus said.


Astrid and Janus immediately cleaned the apartment owned by his mother. All the things in the apartment look the same as when Janus lived first. Doesn't it feel strange if his mother moved the residence without bringing a single item from her apartment. Janus's feelings were uncomfortable. What's the matter with her mother. To make Janus feel anxious half to death, thinking about the condition of the woman who had given birth to him.


Janus, who looked anxious, could not focus clean. Until making one of the jars was nudged by him.


"Prank...


The urn was broken instantly as a result of being knocked down by Janus.


"Sister, it's okay" Astrid panicked as she approached.


"Yes I'm fine. You do not come closer so as not to get hurt," said Janus while cleaning up the fragments of the urn.


Astrid also according not to approach the area that there are fragments of the urn. However, when Janus was cleaning up the shards. Suddenly one of his fingers was injured. As Astrid panicked, she rushed to her husband.


"Your hand is bleeding" said Astrid, grabbing Janus' hand.


"I told you not to come any closer, what if you get hurt" said Janus, who also panicked as Astrid approached.


"At the same time I was wearing sandals, where it might hurt" Astrid said, wiping the wound on her husband's hand. "How is it, I didn't have time to bring the wound medicine," he said anxiously.


Janus smiled at his anxious wife. "No need to worry, after cleaning this I'll go to the pharmacy to buy medicine."


"How can you go, your hand will hurt" Astrid said.


"So you want to go buy the medicine" said Janus chuckling.


"Maybe, I'm not good at speaking Korean" Astrid said as she blew a cut on her husband's finger.


"Therefore, after clearing this up I will go out. While buying medicine, I will also buy dinner for us, so you just wait here," said Janus who returned to clean up the fragments of the urn he was holding.


After finishing everything, Janus went out alone. Astrid waited for her husband in the apartment.


Astrid waited only an hour, Janus was back again to the apartment while carrying two servings of galbitang for his first dinner menu in Korea. Astrid also seemed happy when her husband showed her the food he often saw in Korean dramas. Even the smell was then smelled on his nose, to make the worms in his stomach was screaming in excitement.
