The Note
Our South Korean AdventureThe next morning, I wake up to the soreness of my back and legs. Min Young and I must have fallen
asleep in the waiting room. I tried to sit up in my chair, but then I turn and see Lu Han staring at me with
a smile on his face. OMG! I quickly wipe the drool off the corner of my mouth hoping he doesn’t think I
look like a slob. Lu Han smiles pretending he didn’t notice, even though it was pretty hard to miss. Then I
realize someone had put a blanket over me. Was it Lu Han?
“Uh…so… where’s Min Young?” I managed to stutter.
“Your friend? Oh, she went to the bathroom a few minutes ago.” Lu Han answers casually. “So are you ok?”
Shouldn’t I be the one asking that question? I think to myself. “Umm…yyeah I’m fine.” I stutter again. I
look around trying to avoid eye contact, but then, Lu Han hands me a note on a small piece of paper.
“I’m glad you’re ok” He says with a genuine smile. “Here’s my phone number and address. I just wanted to
thank you for saving me, and if you want, you and your friend can come over sometime, and I can introduce
you to Exo. By the way, Exo is a really famous kpop band and I’m a member. We’re pretty famous you
know?” He says in a joking way.
I almost forgot I had told him Min Young and I didn’t know what Exo was. OMG! Did I hear what he said
correctly?!? No, my ears must be playing tricks on me….but he’s looking at me with a curious expression.
Oh, his gorgeous face, his ideally sized nose, and his wonderfully lush hair. When I finally snap out of my
thoughts, I realize I was staring at his perfect face for an unnaturally long period of time.
“Yyye…ye… thank you.” I hesitate while trying to prevent my hand from shaking as I take the piece of
paper he offered me.
“Well, I hope you decide to come. I really want a chance to repay you for what you’ve done for me.” He
says with an adorable smile.
I wave good-bye as I watch Lu Han walk down the hall to the elevator. I didn’t realize soon enough that I
never took my eyes off of him the whole time. I was drooling over his back side when Min Young came.
“Ya! Where’s Lu Han?!?!” Min Young asks me desperately.
I turned around and noticed that Min Young had brushed her wavy hair and put on….makeup? Was she
going to impress Lu Han?
“Hey, what’s with the eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss?” I ask surprised. “I didn’t know you carried makeup
with you 24/7?”
“Ha, I don’t. I had to borrow some from a rich lady who had come to bring her son in for a checkup.” Min
Young answered with a sly smile.
“Ah, I see…that desperate to impress Lu Han, huh?” I say knowingly.
“Ya, just look at your bed head” She accuses while handing me a mirror.
I take a nervous peak, and cover my mouth with my hands.
“Oh my god, I look like a FREAK!!” I exclaimed. “How was Lu Han even able to look at me like this without
cringing?” I try to use my hands to brush through my hair, but it was tangled deep.
“So where did he go?” Min Young asks while looking around.
“Oh, he left right before you got here.” I answer while still preoccupied with my messy hair.
“Awww” Min Young cries sadly.
“Hey, but he did leave us with his phone number and address!” I say trying to cheer her up.
“Omo!!! Really?!?” Min Young’s face immediately brightens. “Can we go to his house?”
“Ummm….I guess so...” I answer. “He said he wants to repay us or something like that.”
“Ahhhh!” Min Young squeals. “Hey, let’s go back to the hotel, freshen up, and give Lu Han a visit!”
“You can’t be serious, can you? First, it was ‘carry Lu Han on your back’ and now it’s ‘let’s go to his
house’ ?!?!?! We need to calmly decide what to do. Remember he thinks we don’t know he’s famous!” I
exclaim.
“So that’s why we have to go” Min Young says wisely. “He’ll introduce us to Exo, we’ll suddenly realize we
love their music, and become fans! Tada!”
Before I can come up with a counter argument, Min Young grabs my arm and pulls me up.
“Gaja!” She says as we run towards the elevator.
