" morning Jinny..." Said Windey.
"Oh. Hey windey... How you doing?" I replied.
" Mm... So-so, and you?" Asked again.
" same here... It's just a boring routine lifestyle. Anyway let's get in." Then we went in the classroom.
It was my year of graduation, I was doing fine until one day come that changed my life completely; it turned it up and down.
I was sitting alone waiting for my father ro pick me up. My father was a little bit late, so i stand up turning around and suddenly...
"I'm sorry..." A handsome guy with an Asian figure apologized in Korean after collided with me in a rush.
"Oh... It's okay..." I responded in korean as well.
"Oh! You speak korean!?" Asked that guy shockingly.
" Ah....hihi a little bit." I giggled.
"Well... That was really suprising." He kept speaking in Korean, and I liked it; because it was my kind of dream to speak in Korean with someone. Therefore it was of a great since that one was a Korean guy.
"Why is suprising?" I asked in korean.
"Well... You really look like a korean native speaker. You have a really good pronunciation." He praised me, and then a bowed thankfully.
" wow... Now you're really a korean girl. Oh right I was looking for a girl that speaks korean and she is a college student who also speaks English." Then he stopped. " I've been told that she's from this college... You may know her... Her name is Jinny." He ended.
"Oh God!!... " i turned away trying to escape, hoping he will not ask me of my name.
"Excuse me... What's your name?" He asked in korean.
"Oh God... It happened." I said in English.
"What happened" he replied in English then he said" hey wait... You speak Korean... And now you speak English, well i suppose your name is Jinny."
I sarcastically giggled. Then in a suddwm moment i grabbed his hands and started running as fast as I can, towards the garden of my college.
" hey... What's wrong? " she started speaking in korean.
" there was a group of bad men in tuxido behind your back and they were staring at you. Are you kinda a gange Master... Or mafia or something? " i said as soon as i arrived at the garden.
He stepped towards me and said :" well... Those group of bad men in tuxido that were standing behind my back are my bodyguards. I'm a celebrity." He giggled in his last sentence.
" what? A celebrity? Well... Is that why did I think that i knew you before?" i asked.
"Maybe? And maybe because... You know... We Asians people look like one person..." He laughed. And i giggled.
"No... I sure i saw you somewhere. Anyway... Why are you here looking for me. For someone called Jinny... That speaks korean and English?" I asked curiously.
"Well... It's a big secret." He answered.
for unknown reasons I followed him to the garden of my university. I eas curious to know why he was looking for me.
" okay... I followed you just to discuss with you the reason you're looking for... besides I didn't want my friends to see us. I don't like to be the topic of gossiping. Anyways go ahead." I said in a sharp tone.
He kept staring at me for almost three minutes, then he said.
" I need no matter what." Then he gave a cart with his number. " You have to call me." Then he looked around and secretly ran away.
I was confused, so I just turned home for some rest.
" Jinny... dinner is ready" shouted my mum.
I went to the kitchen. " hey mum... hi dad " I said.
" Hi jinny!" said my mum in a concerned voice.
" you look distracted today... is everything alright?"
" Ah... well... oh yeah... everything okay, there's nothing wrong." I replied.
" well... surely there's something wrong" A voice of my brother was heard in the living room.
" okay... I'll tell all about it..." I started talking about what happened that morning.
" well... I can only give you one advice. Listen to your heart. Do you really wanna help him?" said my father. " I don't know..." I really don't know." I answered.
" Do you have to know who is he to help him?" added my mother.
" I really want to help him. but I'm not sure."
"Ok... let's vote... who want Jinny to help the unknown Asian guy? raise your hands please."
" five hands were raised to the air... yes my younger brother interfered too. Then I decided to call him.
The next morning I was running late for the college so I asked my father for a ride.
" Bye dad... see you tonight. " I farewelled my dad at the park lot of my college.
" I had my classes as usual. however during the whole day I kept feeling that I've been watched. someone has been following me wherever I go. At first I thought it was the Asian guy, but then I realized it was someone else. So I tried to check it myself, and eventually I captured the suspicious follower, and it turned out to be one of the bodyguards of that Asian guy. After a proper speech with the guard it turned out he is really a celebrity. But I didn't understand his need for me. He could have a translator whenever he want since he is very famous.
I started getting curious about that case.
Why he fleed away from his bodyguards, why he is there a foreign person looking for me, someone who can speak English and korean, while he can get a translator easily. I had a lots of questions floating around my head. So I decided to give him a call.
I skipped my classes for that day, and went to the garden and called him. Suddenly I heard a phone ringing, so I turned around to find him standing in front of the tree staring at me while raising his phone.
"Hey there..." He shouted in korean.
"Oh... Hi." I dropped my phone looking at him running towards me.
" I was waiting your call." He stopped in front of me. " I knew you would call." He ended.
" well... I want to know everything... That's why I called."
" we better find place to hide." He suggested.
"oh yeah...I've met your bodyguard before, they asked about you." I said.
"Oh no..." He looked into my eyes and said." I hope you're good at running." Then he grabbed my hand and start running.
"Hey... What's wrong? Why we're running again." I shouted.
"you've been tracked... They surely tracked you to get me. We better run and find a safe place." He said breathlessly.
" ok... I know a place." I grabbed his hand to the another way.
We kept running for nearly fifteen minutes.
" here... Here we're... We arrived." I said out of breathing.
" a caffee shop?" These is your place?" He asked
" why... You don't like it. Then let's go back... Maybe they have a better place for you..." Suddenly he turned towards the coffee shop.
" need inviting?” he shouted.
" I'm coming..." I shouted back.
Then we entered the coffee shop," take a place... It's my treat today... Coffee or tea?" I asked on the way to order.
" the same as yours." He replied.
I ordered two cups of tea... Because I know Korean people are famous with drinking tea.
"Here's your tea..." As I sat at the table facing him.
" you know what... I really miss my seniorita. I hope she's fine." He said
" what? Seniorita?" I asked
" yeah... Her name is Jolly. The beautiful in the world" he ended.
"Well... " I giggled
" oh yeah... Let's talk..." He requested.
" what do you think we are doing now? Aren't we talking?" I asked sarcastically.
" no... I mean a serious conversation." He suggested.
" well... I agreed with that." I agreed.
" first let me introduce myself properly..." He stood up and said in korean:
"Hello... I'm Kim Dail... Finally nice to meet you." Then he bowed.
" Hi...I'm Jinny Laurie. Nice to see you too." I bowed back. As i introduced myself in korean. Then we sat again.
"Okay... Let's go back to talk... We should clear some matters. Don't you think so!" He asked.
" what do you mean.Mr. Kim Dail." I asked.
" that's what I mean... Stop calling me Mr. Kim Dail...just call me Dail." He requested
" huh... I don't think so." I replied.
" why... I bet we're at the same age." He said.
" I don't think so...for me, you seem to be an Ahjussi." I said while I took a sip of tea.
The word Ahjussi in Korean means mister or an uncle.
" Hey... I'm still a young man... I'm only 26." He claimed.
" Whatever..." I said.
" what about you...how old are you?" He asked seriously.
" do I have to answer that." I asked.
" yes you have." He insisted
" well...since you insist... I'm twenty four."
I answered.
" great...that makes me your Oppa." He said Delightfully. Oppa in Korean used when addressing a older brother, of male friend, and sometime to adress a boyfriend.
" don't even think of that." I said.
" okay... But you have to stop calling me Mr.Kim Dail... It's really starge...so just call me Dail. Deal?” he requested.
" ok...deal...now come back to the most important thing." I said.
" OK...I'll tell you all about it...well...what I'm about to say may seems insane and crazy to you...so hear me till the end." He went serious.
" okay try me." I replied.
