"The Great Adventure of a Cute Boy" - A Day in Los Angeles When I Lost My Passport and Childlike Innocence (Bella (29) HIKR-240)

This was my first time traveling abroad, my first time in Los Angeles, to see my brother. I finally fulfilled my long-held dream of traveling alone. But to be honest, as soon as I stepped out of the airport, my legs started shaking, and my heart was pounding with anxiety. I don't speak English, I'm short, and I'm often mistaken for a "middle school student" by the locals, but in the end, I safely reunited with my brother in the United States. After the reunion, I felt incredibly relieved and joyful... While sightseeing in Calabasas, which is very close to where my brother lives, I discovered that my passport, which I should have put in my bag, was missing. "...What, are you kidding me...?" I burst into tears. Without a passport to go home, and with my poor English, I sat on a bench, a little flustered. "Did you lose your passport?" I looked up and saw a tall, slender blonde beauty. She looked like she had just stepped out of a movie, holding my passport in her hand, smiling. "You dropped this, didn't you? It's a Japanese passport." "Yes, yes! It's mine! Thank you so much!!" I bowed deeply, and she said, "It's okay, okay?" Then she patted my head. To express my gratitude, I invited her to a coffee shop, which she was delighted with. I didn't know the name of the coffee shop, nor did I speak English, but she still smiled and led the way. She was taller than me, and I admired her greatly, so I didn't know what others thought of her. She always seemed happy. She called me Bear-chan. I mustered up the courage to invite her to a restaurant, and she readily agreed! When we got to the room, I was so excited I couldn't speak, only nodding in response. My heart began to pound in a strange rhythm. Her kiss was warm, the scent of her perfume and her body temperature were all so new to me. That night, I was still a "childish me," but she made me an adult.
