"I'm so tired and have no one to vent to. When that happens, I ride Line 2.
It's a circular line, so it goes around Seoul, and I just sit and watch people go by, and time flies by.
As I keep going around, the sun sets, and when I reach the Dangsan Station to Hapjeong Station section, I get to see the best sunset in Seoul.
Isn't it beautiful?
When I see that, I forget how miserable I felt today and just think, 'Let's go home'.
