Highlights of my Day... November 18

1. Woke up and had absolutely no idea where I was. It was dark, I couldn’t feel Mi Nam lying beside me like usual, instead, I felt the wall to my left and heard the sound of someone breathing to my right. Then I realized… I was still at “His” house, lying on the floor.

2. I didn’t really sleep well after that though cause there’s something about sleeping at someone’s house that I just don’t find comfortable. I like my own floor mat, my boy Mi Nam cuddled up to me, and I especially only like the sound of Mi Nam’s snoring to fill my ears as I sleep. And so, I woke up with puffy eyes and instantly became the shyest girl in Cheonan, hiding my face so that “He” wouldn’t look at me. Got my answer to my question, “What are we doing, dating or hanging out?” As it turns out, I was SO wrong about him… he’s definitely into me, cool.

3. Finally, I arrived back in the comfort of my own home. Mi Nam greeted me with his usual overly-hyper jumps and licks to my face. There’s definitely a certain comfort and pleasure I get knowing that Mi Nam’s waiting at home for me… he’s my four-legged son… hehehe.

4. Later on “He” called me. We had promised to meet up and study together but mentioned the idea about eating dinner together. So, I came flying down the stairs and jumped in his truck. News flash… we’re going to dinner together, but so are an additional 12 dudes (his soccer team mates)!

5. Showed up with “Him” at the restaurant and I was quite intrigued that they didn’t seem shocked at the fact that I was a foreigner. No one asked me questions about where I’m from, my job, how long I’ve been in Korea, or etc. Later on though I found out that “He” has already told them ALL about me. His floor manager approached me and told me that “He” talks non-stop about me… interesting.

6. One of “His” team mates turned to me and asked me if we were a couple but before I could even try to answer, “He” blurted out “yes”… yes?! Hmmm… ok. They all laughed at my facial expression. I was quite shocked at his answer…. Hmmm.

7. I sat at the end of the table beside the only other girl present. She was the wife of one of the team members and had brought along their son, a cute pudgy little boy no older than about 1 & 1/2. I was a big hit with him!... too much of a hit though…. Hehehe. For the entire meal he cuddled up to me, sat on my lap, and played with my fingers. Everyone thought it was super cute until they tried to take him away from me and he repeatedly burst out in tears.

8. After stuffing myself with the seafood I tried to keep down and not choke on (I’m not a big fan of seafood!!!), we then went to one of “His” friend’s house where we then were offered more food…. more seafood. Seriously, eating moving food or food that smells worse than my feet isn’t what I exactly want to see on my plate. And so, I just sat there and stared at the “thing” on the plate. It looked like a mix between a skinned fish driven over a couple of times by a 4x4 and something Mi Nam hacked up, but the smell… oh gosh!

9. Studying at “His” house turned out to be somewhat productive… not really. I thought it cute that he tried to explain some Korean grammar rules to me cause he struggled with finding the appropriate English words.

10. Wow… what a weekend. I started the weekend not knowing what the heck was going on between us and now I definitely have some answers… but now I have more questions. I asked “Him” what he’d say if one of our team mates asked about us or, more importantly, if our coach inquired about us. He said he’d tell them the truth… and so lies my stress. Our secret could change everything… correction, it WILL change everything, and I don’t know if I’m ready for that.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why do we always insist on making life so difficult?
