"Lucky Girl"

What is True Love?

Tuesday and two days left.

MyungSoo had made no effort in trying to contact me what so ever. Though I had already decided to slowly let him go, it was the only thing I could do right now, because he was never going to let me enter his life again.

And I called In Ae yesterday, wondering if she could tell Jinho that I wanted to speak with him regarding that I wanted my job back. But she said that it was better if I asked him myself, so she gave me his number. Though I hadn’t called yet, I don’t know why I hadn’t. Maybe because I was nervous that I wouldn’t get my job back, but now with MyungSoo out of my life, he didn’t need to worry about any boyfriends.

I flipped open my phone and started to press in Jinho’s number. After taking a deep breath I placed it next to my ear and listened how the signals went forward, before a male voice answered and thus also greeting with a ‘Yoboseyo’ fallowed by his name ‘Jinho’.

“Yeh, Yoboseyo this is Iseul” I said a bit hesitated not knowing if he remembered me or not. It wasn’t like I had worked there for a long time, only a couple of days.

“Ah Iseul” he replied, though it sounded like he wasn’t too sure of who I was, *okay no time to feel awkward. Just say what you want to say* I thought. “I wonder if I could talk to you?” I asked and waited for some sort of reply.

“Sure, come down to the bar in an hour”

“Okay” and with that I ended the call and scrambled to my feet’s before I went to search for some clothes as I then proceeded towards the bathroom and a refreshing shower. After half an hour I was ready to go. I decided that I’d eat when I came home because I didn’t have enough time to eat and make it to the bar in time. And arriving late now, when I needed the job was a big no.

The subway train was jammed with people; well it was around the time when people would go home from work and school so. I needed to change trains two times, in Ichon and Samgakji in order to arrive at Itaewon subway station.

After what seemed like forever I finally stepped off at Itaewon, I glanced around to see what would be the nearest exit to where High Love was. But before exiting I gazed at the enormous clock that was hanging on the wall. 8.38PM, and they would open soon. Hopefully Shin wouldn’t be there. If he would then I have no idea of what I’m going to do.

But then, if I start working there again, would he stop looking for me? After all, he could see me at the bar, right?

To my relief there where no costumers there when I arrived, though Se Yoo was there and she didn’t look that happy to see me, well I weren’t that happy to see her either. “Iseul” In Ae’s oh so familiar voice chirped as she came into view before she hugged me tight.

“Hi”

“Are you here to talk with Jinho?” she asked and I nodded my head as I glanced around in the room to see if something had changed. But it hadn’t. Everything was exactly how it was when I left.

“Iseul” a male voice interrupted and I turned around, it was Jinho. He motioned for me to step inside his office. And before doing so I said a ‘see you later’ to In Ae who smiled and waved her hands and then walked off. A few minutes later I was sitting in a chair in front of Jinho’s desk.

“I-I want my job back” I stuttered almost inaudible as I nervously shifted my gaze around, afraid to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry, we already have enough girls” he apologized and I could latterly feel my heart sink. Great I couldn’t have my job back. Well I screwed up in the first place. So I guess I only have myself to blame.

“Ah okay” I replied disappointed, though it was something with his eyes that made me wonder, it was something that was telling me that he was lying. That he wanted me back, but couldn’t. Did someone threaten him? But without proof I couldn’t do anything but accept his words.

With a goodbye and a small bow I exited the room, just to end up bumping into someone. And without looking up I bowed deeply as I said a formal sorry. But the reaction from the other person was never what I imagined.

An amused laughter rang in my ears as I straightened myself and stared at the person in front of me, my eyes widened at the sight. It was one of Shin’s friends. And without warning, he leaned in closer to my face. As if he where going to kiss me. But before he could do so I had already turned my head away.

“Dae Jung leave the girl alone” I saw how Shin pulled the ‘Dae Jung’ guy backwards as he then walked up to me. “Lady, your one lucky girl” he murmured and then walked off, the other guy stared at me with a smirk on his face before he his lips and then fallowed after Shin. I didn’t dare to look turn my head around to see them walked off. Instead I hurried to exit the bar with a thumping heart.

What did he mean by ‘your one lucky girl’? I weren’t lucky. My whole world had been torn apart. How could one bee lucky then?

I swiftly walked towards a nearby sushi restaurant, I knew it wasn’t maybe the smartest thing to do when you where running out of money. But I didn’t feel like preparing any food, so the easiest was to just eat out.

“Ahjumma, set nr 3 please” I said after looking on the board that where hanging over the cashier. It was a set mixed with different kind of sushi. Some maki rolls a few with salmon and shrimps as well as tofu. It was thirteen pieces in total. Enough to make me satisfied. I glanced through a magazine as I waited; it was mostly filled with gossip about the idols in Korea. It was scandals, new album releases, concert maps and everything else you’d except in this sort of magazine. And by that meaning, nothing out of the ordinary. After scanning through the whole magazine and putting it aside I saw that the old lady was finished with my order.

As I ate, my mind still wouldn’t let go of the words that Shin had said. Why would he even say something like that?

*Did it have something to do with MyungSoo?*
