And now here I am the next day, done with my template and typing away all the shit in my head. Also chatting with my friend on facebook :D which I opened for a peek kekeke hopefully I will get to go home early today :/ that’s all for now~ Miso out!
I was spinning in my chair impatiently when Jo차장 came in. “You must be bored…lets go for some tea” I jump out of my chair even before he finished his sentence. My ass has suffered enough for the day. We ask Kim차장 to join us, with a phone in his ear his signals us to leave first. Down at the coffee shop Jo차장 asks me what I’d like to drink. I scan the menu swiftly for the specific letters- m, n, g, k, w. And I see K-w! Kiwi juice :3 my holy grail in Korea, it’s the only thing that can substitute my thirst for mango I think. We sit down after getting our drinks and see Kim차장 coming in with…another lady who’s name I don’t remember. Anyhoo….the adults start talking about their wine club, trying to decide a name for it. “Autoever Wine Club?” Jo차장 suggests. “Nah….that sounds dull” the lady whose name I don’t remember says. I blank in and out of the conversation while constantly checking my phone. And I remember Natalie is leaving today. My heart clenches a bit, and I let out a deep sigh. Why are ALL my close friends leaving this year? There Donghyun oppa ( USA-1 year) , Minseok oppa (Australia-1 year) , Yuri (El Salvador-2 years), Tiara (She was only in Korea for the semester)….maybe I’ve been cursed L(( I know Allah punishes me from time to time whenever I get too happy. Nailpolish-allergy! Shrimp-allergy! Jeggings-allergy! Whoever I get close to- moves away or I move away or goes to study abroad -_- but Natalie…! I cant imagine a Korea without her :’( Even though we haven’t been super close this past semester, we never feel awkward to peek up where we left off. She has been one of the constant friends who offer moral support no questions asked. Even with so much cultural differences, she never made me feel misunderstood. We have this silly voice of talking whenever we are excited together. Kekekek :v I remember the last we hung out, having yummy Persian pizza and chatting away all our feelings…I must be stronger K After all, this is life I had chosen for myself, where people would come and go constantly, leaving little to mourn the loss of their presence. Even me, myself has moved around way too much. I can hardly believe it, I have lived in three different places in my three years in Korea. And I’m about my move yet again in my fourth year~phew! That’s too much physical and mental strain on my feeble heart. I console myself with the hope of writing long-glittery letter to Sweden later :D I blink back to the present, the wine club discussion still going on. “Do you like wine?” Kim차장 asks. “Yeah I do” I reply quietly. “Good, then you should join! Next Thursday after work, don’t forget.” I nod happily at the thought of skipping tutoring that day. I’ve had the pleasure of tasting wine three times in my life. First time when I was kid, somebody had brought a bottle of wine as a gift. I was so curious about the taste that I begged my mom over and over to let me take a sip. Surprisingly, she let me :O It was only a tiny sip. “I’m letting u taste it so that you know how horrible it is and never ask for ti again.” She was right indeed. It tasted gross, like spoiled grapes, making me choke. The next time I had wine, it was in the Muju trip (which I went to with Mike, Roly and Tiara). We had visited the famous Muju Winery Tunnel. The wine there was...heavenly~~~~made from the best and most fresh grapes of Muju. It was like drinking extra fresh grape juice. And the last time was……a few weeks ago, just after Christmas, Jo차장 took me out for a drink and insisted I try the Christmas wine. It was different, not bitter, but not entirely sweet either. Overall, I liked it; I find wine to be the most elegant from of alcohol out there, though nothing can beat cocktails (non-alcoholic ones of course). Anyway, we headed back to the office, and after an hour of finishing up my work I left for tutoring. On my way to tutoring I messaged Daehan oppa :3 :3 It was a shock to receive his text after…2 years! :o I will rewind and elaborate a bit here. 2 years ago, when my family (Mu, pu and boggo) had come to visit me in Korea, we had been invited to the SK Telecom’s vise president’s house. He had two adorable sons~both of whom were Kyunghee students coincidentally :D they were soo cute, pushing one another to make the make the first move. They spoke to us in English after a lot of hesistation. Me and boggo kept whispering about how cute they were. After my family left Korea, I received a letter from one of the bros at my dorm. It was soooo adorable beyond words...even though I had a bf that time, I was swept off my feet by that gesture >_< hoohoo! So hearing from one of the bros after so many days was a shock and pleasure ^_^ It was somewhat odd though, him texting me out of the blue like that, seeming overly enthusiastic O.o Anyway, he said he’ll be graduating in February and also asked me to hang out with them sometime. Hehe I don’t know how serious he was but I’d be more than glad to meet them again. I reach the coffee shop where I’m supposed to tutor and sit down. Feeling unusually exhausted, I ordered a sandwich. Perhaps it was my worst moon party in a long time, I’ve never felt this exhausted before. Throughout the tutoring session I could barely keep my eyes open, nodding and adding comments weakly. I felt guilty about teaching haphazardly today, but my body was failing against me. When I finished I took the subway. Moon party was in it’s full eclipse…I decided it was better to stand all the way to avoid any accident. Ten minutes into the ride, I started to feel queasy. It was as if my body parts were shutting down one by one. A strange internal alarm went off in my head, prompting me to put my ipad back inside the bag, fearing that I would drop it anytime. I tried holding on to the pillar beside me. Too late, my vision got blurry and hearing muffled; a feeling similar to the effect or air pressure. I prayed in my head so that I don’t lose my consciousness. I saw someone leave their seat. Slowly I sat down gratefully. I don’t know for how long, but even my mind shut down for a while and I hung my head, paralyzed. When I came back to my senses, the train had stopped at a station. I was too weak to move and see which station, and instantly the train started again. I looked around and realized I had just missed my station -___- dang it! I was sweating and shivering all the way back home, weird I know K I took a long hot shower, ate chocolates and launched myself on my laptop. Still feeling lightheaded, I followed my usual routine of calling my parents, answering all the kakaotalks, saying one last goodbye to Natalie and finally sleep O:)
And now here I am the next day, done with my template and typing away all the shit in my head. Also chatting with my friend on facebook :D which I opened for a peek kekeke hopefully I will get to go home early today :/ that’s all for now~ Miso out!
