So that's what it meant. "No worries,'' Adi said with a grin. "Hyuma. No, Hyni... er, sorry for butchering the word.'' Woops. What a complicated word that was. Not more difficult than some Hindi words can be though.
Was Zhenya up for a hug? Even if she wasn't, Adi simply threw an arm around her and gave her a quick one. He was not thinking that she'd be graduating soon. Nope. "It's great to see you too. The remaining of summer was good! Lot's of camping.'' Mhmmm.
Oh! So Jackson was the guy's name? "Heya, Jackson! It's cool to meet you. You'll love it at Hogwarts!'' Adi held out a hand to shake Jackson's. "I got to say, you speak pretty good english.''
Zhenya was momentarily stunned by an Adi throwing his arms around her. Before he pulled away she wrapped her arms around him to return the hug, and smiled at him. Hugs, laughter and a good book were magic for the soul. "
Oh camping! Did you go camping again after the school trip?" She liked camping. Being outside, away from all the pesky modern noises.
SPOILER!!: J-J-Jackson

Buuuut... kinda weird if he didn't since he was taught to respect the people who is older than him, even they're just one year above him. Kinda rude not referent them as senior, right? Right. "Oh, glad to hear that. I still need to.. speak fluently." The Korean guy said. Some people didn't really understand his English very well because it still mixed up with the accent and Korean pronounce. Maybe because she wasn't a British too. "Oh, very nice to meet you. Zhenya noona..." He did pronounce her name correctly, right?
Seoul? Every time he wanted to tell people about his home, Jackson always felt a bit homesick. "It's pretty." He nodded. Maybe it sounded a little bit biased but... IT'S VERY PRETTY, OKAY? "You can enjoy the cruise to enjoy the Han river or shopping. But outside the city, there's also a pretty island named Jeju and it's very famous because it's the place for the most popular Korean drama." He often heard about that. If Winter Sonata didn't take a place in Jeju, maybe that island wouldn't be that famous.
Then Zhenya introduced another guy, Adi. "It's hyung by the way." he said and slightly chuckled. "Never mind, Korean is difficult for the.. foreigners. It's so nice to meet you, Adi hyung," So much F and he still needed to work to pronounce his F letter perfectly. Did he really mean that his English was good enough or just to make him feel better? Just take it as compliment, okay? "Oh, thank you. But I still need to... make it fluent." He nodded. "And I really hope that I can enjoy Hogwarts." Because until now, he still hoped that right now he still went to Kirin instead of being on a train to Hogwarts.
"So what do you say to greet those younger than you?"
The Korean guy thought for a while, then he shook his head. "I don't think there's a... specific call... People in Korea really... respect the people who is older. So the calling is to show that we respect the seniors. Also, there's a... different calling that the girls use." He explained. "The girls usually called the guy senior as Oppa and girl senior as Unnie. I don't know why it has to be.. different." He shrugged. But Oppa and Unnie sounded cuter so kinda weird if the guys use that.
Zhenya smiled at her new friend, "
Nice to meet you too," she said happily. Ooh Han river… Jeju island. Zhenya couldn't picture them, but she imagined something pretty spectacular. "
Sounds wonderful."
I really hope that I can enjoy Hogwarts. Zhenya's eyebrows crept up on her face. HOPE that he will enjoy Hogwarts? Well, perhaps having never been there, he doesn't know the magnificent castle that is Hogwarts. She just smiled and said "
I'm certain you will enjoy it. It's magnificent, it truly is." She was sure everyone would agree, right? Right.
Zhenya listened to Jackson explaining the terms they used in Korea. But she wasn't all that surprised there wasn't anything for the younger people, it was like that wasn't it? Traditionally, one must respect their elders. Oppa and Unnie.
