The world moved in front of her in fast and quick motions as she headed to work. She focused on the trees that seemed to move and the tall magnificent buildings out of the window as her face turned from displeasure to one of irritation and impatience the longer she sat in the bus.

Emira wasn't too fond of public transport. If she were to need to use a form of public transportation, it was limited to and strictly a taxi.

Emira didn't enjoy the rude stares and discrimination she got while using public transport. Being mixed, she had a tanned skin tone with brown eyes and beautiful large well-shaped lips.

Being mixed was a whole struggle for her with the features she had, she believed they were masculine and ugly. She currently lived in an area full of featurism and colourism and always had nasty comments thrown at her usually about her nose, lips and skin tone. If it wasn't that her lips were too big and like that of a duck, it was that her skin tone was ugly, and if not that, it was that she was fat.

But this was her last interest at the moment, it wasn't something she bothered too hard on. She knew what she was getting into heading into South Korea, but she's thankful all they do is rudely stare and not let her into bars. She isn't too bothered, though not completely unbothered, by it.

The bell dinged indicating the bus had reached Emira's work building and a huge smile spread across her face knowing she could now leave and she was in time for work.

She got up while securing her bag over her shoulder before walking to the door, handing the conductor the ticket and getting out of the bus.

The sun gazed upon her skin, accentuating the beautiful skin and giving it a blinding glow while leaving a shadow along her facial features that made her even more alluring to look at. And eyes gazed at her, as usual.

The bus continued its journey and so did Emira.
