Everybody's sitting at the rectangular table in this order; Joo-won, Ha-jun, Celeste, Kallie, Jun-seo, Yong-sun, Me, Hyun-ki, Ji-hoon, and Tae-geun.
This is a very awkward setup. I want to switch places with someone, but how do I say..."Hey, can I sit in your spot, because I don't wanna be in between the guy I'm in love with and the guy that I like?" It's definitely an interesting conversation starter. However, I just want to have a normal rest of my day without there being anything insane happening...again.
Everyone ordered their food. Different smells and tastes all in one room is like a yummy heaven. It was all going good until THIS MAN PUT HIS HAND ON MY THIGH, AND STARTED RUBBING IT LIKE HE WAS MASSAGING A CHICKEN! Yong-sun I will murder you. How could he do that while I'm sitting next to HYUN-KI? Then he whispers to me, "You never said you wanted it to stop". You know what? He's technically right. I never said the word..."stop". That's the problem. I don't wanna tell him to stop.
"MaeMae?" Ha-jun calls my name with a concerned look.
"Huh?" I give him my attention.
"Are you alright? You look...like you've seen a ghost", he stares at my flushed appearing skin.
"Oh. I'm fine", I smile brightly at Ha-jun.
"Okay", he returns a smile and continues eating.
"Did I really affect you that much?" Yong-sun whispers and grabs my thigh again. My eyes widen and I begin to panic. I quickly stand up from the chair.
"Uuuum, I'm going to the restroom. Celeste, Kallie...can you two come with me?" I walk backwards towards the restroom. They knew something was up, so without question they caught up and accompanied me to the restroom.
"What's up?" Celeste appears extremely worried. Kallie seems to have the same expression.
"Back in the store...when Yong-sun and I were alone-", I am cut off by Kallie.
"YOU AND YONG-SUN KISSED!" Kallie got anxious.
"No...we almost did, but I stopped us. He said he'd stop making a move on me if I said stop", I debrief them before splashing water on my face.
"So tell him to stop", Celeste crosses her arms.
"That's the problem. I don't WANT him to stop. I think I like him, and I feel like a horrible person for it", I start to sob. Celeste and Kallie comfort me to rid me of sadness.
"Aaawweee MaeMae".
MAEMAE
MAEMAE
The words echo in my head going back to reality.
"MaeMae? You okay? It looked like you were daydreaming", Hyun-ki notices and waves a hand in front of my face. I gain awareness of my surroundings. We're back at my apartment.
"MaeMae! DON'T GO OUTSIDE", a voice tells me inside of my head.
"No. I have a really strange feeling. I just need to lie down for a minute."
In a split second, I faint.
