2008

“Taeminah . .Please approve my proposal! I promise this is the last time”. A boy begs to me with him puppy eyes and hand clap together.

“But, I don’t like your idea Jonginah, too childish”, I slurp my drink and continue my lunch.

“But please.. Just this time”, he beg and kneeled to me.

And another girl tries persuading me too. “ Taemin, just only you can help this poor boy”, she said while caress Jongin’s hair.

“NO”, I must take a straight action now. Many of his lame proposals I take, and turn to a shame in front of girls. This is his fifth times he makes me as matchmaker. Why he always like girls that I know?

“You said No because she is Naeun, right?”, Jongin stare at me with intense eyes.

“Don’t you say you have a crush on Naeun too, Taemin?, this times Soo Jung speak up. Jongin looks at me with full of curiosity. In Jongin mind, “Please don’t say you like her too”.

I almost choke my drink. “Impossible, she is my friend and I am consider her as my family!”

Slight smiles appear on Soo Jung face. And I don’t why.

“Why you don’t accept my idea?” Jongin said.

I am thinking hard to make a most reasonable reason. “First, there are forth girl’s hearts that you had been broken down and I don’t want Naeun as you fifth victim. Two, I don’t want to involve in your stupid crush anymore. Three, there are many thing I must to do beside to take care of your business”.

“Such a cruel”, Jongin frown. “Okay.. I will find my own way”. Jongin said as he leaved me.

“Whatever you want Jongin”.

“Please consider Jongin feeling this time, he is serious about Naeun”, Soo Jung said as she leaved me too.

I take a deep breath and begin type a message to my friend.

“We will meet on Jinki’s restaurant at 5 p.m, you go first, there is thing I must to do before”

Before I almost lock my phone, a reply message arrive.

“Okay, but don’t too longer Oppa”

I smile on my handphone, and text a reply

“I know you, you don’t have patient when it come to gogi, I must came faster or I don’t have a meat to eat”

Another fast replay come to my phone.

“Are you kidding me ? I am not a gogi monster you know?”

I can imagine her pouted face. I smile like a idiot.

“Ahrasso, waiting for me”

But there is nothing reply from her. Are she mad at me?
