Time went quickly as our last period ended.
I called, "Hello, Hazel. This is Oppa. Sorry, I can't make it tonight. I'll be meeting Karla. I promise next time. Okay? Bye," I hung up and proceeded to the group study.
As I headed my way to the nearest coffee shop before going to the meeting place, an unexpected girl blocked my way.
"Oppa!"
Wearing a light green floral dress, white flats, and in a low pig-tailed hair, she appeared in front of me.
"Oppa."
It was Hazel. I was surprised. I could have thought of any lie or any excuse not to get caught by her. But Hazel, her looks became unfamiliar. I wasn't able to bat an eyelash the moment I saw her standing before me. To my surprise, I felt strange toward her.
"Why are you here?" I finally spoke out.
"If you're not going to treat me to dinner tonight that means you will be doomed forever!" she uttered these words.
"But..."
"Look, Oppa, I already dressed up and now you're telling me you can't?"
I swallowed a bile in my throat. I don't know what to say. I'm cornered.
She looked down and said, "And besides, I'm already hungry too."
There was silence between us. Until she spoke again.
"Are you going to choose that white lady over me?"
Yes! Or no? I don't know. I can't tell.
She looked straight to my eyes. She smiled bitterly. "It's okay." Just like that, she turned her back.
I realized I won for the first time. But why do I feel pain inside?
Just then, I finally made a decision. She lost to me but I can't lose her. And no matter how I try, I still can't lose to her. Before she was able to make a few steps away from me, I grabbed her hand and told her, "Let's go on a date."
