Miracle - Chapter Two

Pairing: Chanyeol x Eun Byul (OC)

A/N: This is a repost from my main blog @fluffyyeollie because I’m busy moving all my writing to this account. Please show it once again lots of love. Any likes/reblogs/comments would be highly appreciated.

I once again snapped my eyes open and I shot up, making the lights of my apartment turn on and I let out a sigh as I squint my eyes against the sudden light.

“I didn’t know I could have dreams within dreams.” I softly touch my forehead but as I expected, there was nothing there. My legs were also just fine and I wasn’t wearing what I’d worn in my dream. I checked my laptop, which had also remained untouched. I ran my hand through my hair, making it even messier than it already was.

I looked in the mirror, inspecting the black under my eyes and my pale face and let out and exhausted sigh.

“Whoever thought it was a good idea to make me function like normal people, is an asshole.” I put on a sweater and jeans and walked out the door.

I silently looked up at the countless choices these ‘Starbucks’ people provided. I was about to give up on getting coffee when someone softly tapped my shoulder and I turned around. I was close to letting out a surprised yelp but I managed to keep it in and I just tried to remain calm while I tried not to stare at the man in front of me.

He flashed me a kind smile, “is this your first time getting coffee here? You look so lost.” I nodded slightly and his smile widened as he led me to the counter.

“Two caramel frappuccino, please.” I looked up at him and he winked, “don’t worry, I’ll pay.” His eyes flashed at my collarbone and he nodded at it, “nice necklace.”

I looked down and pulled my collar up. He’d seen the silver strings on my skin, and luckily, he had thought it was a necklace.

“Can I have your names please?” We both looked up and I was about to speak up but he beat me to it.

“Chanyeol.” I looked at him from the corner of my eye, linking everything together in my head.

“Eun Byul,” I said and Chanyeol made a surprised sound.

“Whoa, that’s a pretty name,” I nodded at him and mouthed a 'thanks’ as he handed me my coffee and led me to a table.

“Thank you for getting me a drink, but there’s no need to accompany me, you know,” I observed him as he sat down in front of me and flashed me another smile.

“Oh come on, it’s no fun to sit alone.” He sipped at his coffee and motioned for me to do the same. I slowly brought up my cup and carefully took a sip. My eyes widened a bit and I looked surprised at him as I pointed at my cup and leaned in as I whispered, “this is tasty!” He looked at me for a moment and then burst out laughing.

“Of course it is! I’m glad you like it.”

We walked out together, or rather, I walked out and he followed me for some unknown reason and after walking a few blocks, I abrubtly stopped and he bumped into me. I turned around and crossed my arms.

“Is there a specific reason you’re following me? You’re not getting my number, my money or my body, so if that’s what you’re here for, I suggest you go away.”

He looked surprised at me and then burst out laughing, shaking his head and waving his hands in defence.

“No, no, that’s not what I’m here for at all. You just seemed so lonely and actually I-” he was pointing in the direction I’d been walking in but was cut off mid-sentence by a sudden shower pouring down on us.

I grabbed his arm and pulled him with me to a dry spot. Taking shelter from the rain, we made our first mistake.

Here are the best cheap hotels in Osaka!

[toc]

1. Richmond Hotel Namba Daikokucho

This hotel is a 20-minute walk from the Namba shopping area and the Namba train center. The taxi fare between the hotel and Namba is about 1,000 Yen. The hotel amenities are good - a welcome pack is given to each guest comprising room slippers and sample skincare from DHC and other little personal care products.

In the room, you will find other personal care items such as toothbrushes, hairbrushes, disposable razors, q-tips and so on. The room is a good size although the double bed is a small queen, can be a squeeze for two adults.

But there is room to walk around the bed, more than we have experienced in other hotels. Small touches are what impress. The bathroom mirror has a section on the sink that doesn't fade after a hot shower. Free telephone for guests to use.

They even have free non-alcoholic drinks from 2 pm to 8 pm every day for guests. All the staff is friendly and helpful and most we encountered speak some English. All in all, this was the best of the three hotels we stayed on during our trip to Japan.

2. Shin-Osaka Station Hotel Honkan

Our first stay at Shin Osaka Station Hotel. My family and I are there because it is very close to Shin Osaka station and consider it winter, near the station as an advantage. I'm glad we chose this hotel. Very cozy, low-rise hotel with front desk staff very polite and courteous.

With luggage, just follow the directions given on the hotel website, proceed to the east exit at Shin Osaka station, take the lift down to ground level and follow the guide to the hotel. About 5-10 mins.

No luggage, just 5 minutes walk from the hotel, across the sky bridge (green) and you'll reach the south-central entrance of the station. Very easy and convenient. There are 24-hour eateries near the hotel if you need to have dinner late. Lawson is just around the corner so it is extremely convenient.

Our stay includes breakfast and the hotel staff will ask us to choose at the end of each day for breakfast the next day. They have either Western (sandwich) or Japanese (a slice of salmon or mackerel).

Drinks (orange juice, water, coffee, tea) are free flow and have a buffet-style side dish, with miso soup. Personally I would recommend the Japanese breakfast. Neat, tasty, not too filling, appetizing.

There is also a selection of shampoo, face cleanser, moisturizer, both wash, hairbrush and washcloth, made available near the counter. You can pick and choose daily.

Lift is small, fits about 3 pax with 24inch luggage. The rooms are clean and neat. The toilet bowl has a heating element that warms the seat. So it is very comfortable during the winter. Pillow is a bit hard but still comfortable.

Although the hotel still uses the traditional keys to the rooms it is functional. Overall, a very pleasant stay. I will return to this hotel when I visit Osaka again.

3. Hotel Cordia Osaka

I could not wish for a better hotel to stay at. A bit bigger for a Japanese hotel, a spacious bathroom, and a toilet. Shower water temp perfect. Location is an amazing and lovely walk to attractions. Only 1km from the Osaka train station.

The staff is amazing, so helpful and curious. Rooms clean and fresh PJ’s every night. We stayed for 9 days, it was so good. We will be staying here next time we come to Japan. Best accommodation for the whole trip so far.

By the way, probably the best accommodation if you are disabled and need good access. Our room, however, has a large step up to the shower and toilet. I would ask if they have a disabled setup room. This is a great hotel. Nearly forgot, Starbucks around the corner and the TGIFridays restaurant just down the road has amazing food and service.

4. Dormy Inn Premium Namba

There are two Dormy Inn hotels literally facing each other. They even have a huge sign in front of both hotels to warn visitors. But, we were so tired and didn't see the sign. I guess a lot of travelers made this mistake, so the front desk guided us to the right as soon as I handed her my hotel voucher.

The hotel is a little walk from the subway station, about 10 minutes from Shinsaibashi subway station. The room was clean and well kept. There's even an omelet station serving fresh omelets! Free ramen is offered in the evening. The onsen is clean and relaxing.

5. Dotonbori Hotel

I stayed in this hotel for two nights on the last leg of our trip to Japan. The hotel is located in a quieter area of Dotonbori district but is just a short walk from where every action takes. There are also several restaurants and 24/7 convenience stores (Lawson) nearby.

The rooms and sauna are compact but this is not really surprising in Japan. Wi-Fi is free, but sometimes it is a bit spotted.

One of the best things about this hotel is all the freebies they provide for their guests. Ramen, beer, and wine are served free in the lobby every evening at 10:30 PM - many take advantage of this so the lobby area can become quite busy at night.

In addition, all drinks (canned coffee, soda, beer, etc.) in the refrigerator in the room are free. Guests can also borrow things like laptops, wheelchairs, strollers, pocket WiFi devices, etc. free. Things like hairbrushes, shower caps, razors, etc. are also provided in the lobby.

6. Arietta Hotel Osaka

Because it is located far away from the tourist area, it is relatively cheaper, quieter and compared to the hotels in Tokyo that I have booked, more spacious. The staff is excellent--they speak or at least understand English, and are efficient and warm. Basic breakfast is included-- the boiled egg is my favorite, and brewed coffee is available 24 hours.

7. HOTEL UNIZO Osaka Yodoyabashi

Englishman alone spent 9 nights in this splendid business hotel 45 seconds from Yodoyabashi Station everything in the small room but no safe..reception was excellent especially Naomi...quiet area, supermarket next door...great stuff......

8. Shin-Osaka Station Hotel Annex

Staying in Ostay Shin-Osaka Hotel Apartment. The place is so near to the train station & family mart but there is nothing there to do. But the rooms are super clean & high floor. Bought the 5days Kansai West Train ticket and took the Shinkansen to Yokohama.

A nice place to go & travel is easier with train tickets. Im just loving JAPAN so much as this is my 5th time in Japan. loving the cool weather & the atmosphere in Japan. Manage to go Kobe for a ropeway, visit the Castle, Nara, Kyoto & many more places with the 5days train tickets. It's worth the dollars.

9. Hotel Bali Tower Osaka Tennoji

From the moment you entered you were welcome. The number of toiletries free salt bath snacks wine hairpin hair samples nails polish wiping nasal strips and more is unbelievable. You are provided robes and can even wear all day to wear in the hotel.

All charging plugs are provided and if you choose eco clean, you have 500 yen to pay for room service. Very close to Tennoji station and lots of food around you. Breakfast is great and the three monkey bars are good value and you can get free or 20% discount with the room key.

I would definitely stay if I was in Osaka. We had room 1101 free wifi well staff doing well.

10. Hotel Brighton City Osaka Kitahama

As for Osaka, I found this hotel, the same price as other people, but the room was much bigger, and I could actually open my large suitcase on the floor and there was still room to walk around it.

And the bathrooms have higher ceilings, and the shower/bathtub is separate, which is my favorite part. Three or four stops to the north and you're at Osaka Station, south and you can get to Dotonburi. 7-11 right across the street. I would recommend this to anybody.
