THE BRIGHTEST KNIGHT OF HALLYU

After getting stuck in traffic for most of the journey, the minibus finally arrived at its destination.

Eager to leave the vehicles steel confines, I jump out instantly as it comes to a stop after taking my luggage.

Looking towards the tall apartment complex, and its inhabitants, a feeling of home overwhelms me.

'POP!'

'POP'

'POP'

Confetti and streamers cascade from my side.

Expecting a group of people to rush out cheering, I'm bewildered by what I see.

A single slightly obese man, is in the middle of a garden of 1000 white roses wearing a shirt with the girl I love plastered on it.

'HORA!!! HAPPY VALENTINES! WHEN YOU SMILE, I SMILE!'

He screams into megaphone with no regard to the onlookers.

Did I hear that right?

Is he ….. really confessing his love right now.

And its Valentines day?

Taking out my cell phone, I dial the number of my 'best friend' who is about to be my dead best friend.
