3 "an oppa"
He slowly walk to my table. I pretend to enjoy my drinks.
" what happened that day?" He asked me straight
"I'm sorry. But who are you?" Bom ask
"Me, no need to tell you fresh year. But the point I'm your Senior here. Also I'm asking what happened yesterday to this guy"
He put his hands at my table and looked seriously at me with his sharp eye. People at the cafeteria whisper to each other and look at us. I can sense people around become quite. It's sign that he has big impact around this campus.
"What's your name?"
"Hyun Jae. Shin Hyun Jae"
"What major you take?"
"I'm at music major" I just spontaneously answer his question
Song and Bom also quite, looks like we get a strong tense from him.
"So what happened yesterday, tell me. Detailed!" He raise his voice
"Oppa"
I hear someone yelling. The girl I've been thinking all day is show up. She run to this tall guy.
"Oppa, stop it"
"No..I must asked what happened yesterday"
"I've tell you it was an accident " she grab his arm
"Let's go home okay " she drag the guy and bow to us
They dissapeared and people continued their activities like nothing happens.
"What just happened?" Song still surprises
"Who is that guy?, you know him? "Bom asked me
I stand and grab my bag
"I'll go home now"
I leave Bom and Song with hundreds question
At my appartment, I throw my bag out of anger
I don't know if I'm angry to the girl, or to the guy or the fact that she call him oppa. Is he her boyfriend? It's drive me crazy. I never feel this rollercoaster feeling all my life. I've lived for 18 years now. It's so complicated feelings that I never had before. It's make me uncomfortable. I should talk to someone about it, but who?.
Kruuuuyuuuuk
My stomach, ah yes I have no time to eat lunch at cafeteria. I look at the fridge. It's empty. Mom said she will come tommorow to help me manage my food and all my necessities.
Today I'll eat outside. I change my clothes. Since it's summer I'll wear comfy clothes. I wear white t-shirt and short, also I wear some cap for protect my face from sun burn.
I decide to go to some restaurant near appartment. I'll eat lunch there and get home some for dinner.
I'm in the middle of eating when I saw the tall guy pass by with a girl. But is not her. They go to caffe across the street. A few minutes they out and bring a drink, the girl peck him, the girl look so close to him. Is she her girlfriend? or he is cheating?. Oh my god. It's so serious. To many things happened today.
I'm full, I bought enough food for dinner and for tommorow breakfast. Ah I need to buy some water.
I go to nearest convenience store. Without I'm expecting I meet the girl I kissed before. Her face is not too swollen now.
We look at each other awkwardly
"Wait"
"Do, you have a time" I gather my courage
"Let's walk a bit" I ask her
She nodded
We walk together head to my apartment area
"I'm sorry about yesterday " I begin talk
"Um"
"Is that your boyfriend. I don't have intention to do it, really " I make an x gesture
"Who you say?" She stop
"The tall guy who picked up you"
"I'm really sorry,if there's something misunderstanding between you because what happened yesterday just tell me. I'll explain to him"
"Explain that we were kissing?" She walk again and I follow her
I'm shocked, but she is right, how can I tell
"Hi I'm hyun jae and I'm kissing your girlfriend. Don't misunderstand " (in hyun jae's head")
She then smile
"Actually he is my oppa"
"Uh" I stop walking
"So he is your boyfriend, but why he out with other girl" I accidentally spilled it
I cover my mouth
"Other girl?"
"Listen, I'm so sorry. I see your boyfriend, no...no... accidentally see him go into the cafe and the girl peck him. And .. I'm so sorry. " I was so messed up and panicking
She begin laughing
"Uh, Why you laughing?"
She just can't stop laughing, he make a hand gesture to ask me wait
"No, I mean, He is my oppa, real oppa. My brother. You didn't give me chance to explain it"
" your brother? Mean your siblings "
"Yes, he was at music major, years 3"
I don't know if I can feel like this but I'm relieved. This tangled thread began to unravel. We look at each other and smile at the middle of the sidewalk. People keep walking around us .The sun begin to set shine her face with warm orange light. Her long hair look so beautiful on my eyes.
I definitely like this girl. And now I don't have any reason to hesitate.
