Mina's POV
"Mina! dinner's ready! Come downstairs now honey let's eat!" I was awoken by my mom's voice. When did I even fell asleep? I checked the time on my phone and it says 8:36 pm. What? Really now? I stretched a bit and jumped out of bed. Ugh. What the heck is happening to me? I looked at Mr. Hanz with hopeful eyes, searching for answers, but just like the usual, he didn't respond. "You're lucky I love you so much." I told him while squinting my eyes...
Still no response. Pshh, I smiled to myself, You're crazy Mina.
I suddenly heard a vibrating noise coming from my study table. I looked at it and saw that my phone was the one causing the vibrating noise. Then it hit me.
Ah! Jinjja! Now I remember.
~Flashback~
(A while ago)
I was trying to get rid of the thought that I have an old perverted stalker when I received yet another message.
(5:47 pm) Unknown number: "I'm back! :-)"
What the fudge? Just when I thought my nightmare's over then it'll just.. uggh! I internally groaned to myself. I stared at my phone for a while before I decided to leave it on my study table.
'I just need a refreshing shower.' I told myself. I need some kind of distraction to forget about this perverted ahjussi who keeps on bugging me.
I took an oversized shirt with a flag of my beloved country Japan, and a pair of shorts from my closet. 'This will do' I told myself.
Unfortunately, my penguin pajamas are in the laundry so I won't be able to wear them tonight. Sigh.
After a very refreshing shower, I sat on my bed and opened my laptop. I need a relaxing music as well.
(Music starts playing)
[A/N: I was listening to The Once's You're my bestfriend on repeat while writing this Chapter. Thanks to our beloved bean for this one. This song doesn't fail to keep me relaxed af. :"> sorry for the sudden A/N. <3]
I don't know what it is that keeps on urging me to check my phone but it's so strong that I wasn't able to resist it.
Deym you unknown force!
And so I took my phone from my study table and mentally prepared myself for the torture that's soon to hit me.
My hands were literally shaking as I checked my phone for unread messages.
9 unread messages?! What the heck?!
As I tried to remember the ahjussi from before, I can say that he's probably of the same age as ahjumma.
Deym...
How can his fingers be this strong?
Woah woah woah wait! stop right there!
That doesn't sound wholesome at all. Wrong question. Erase erase.
How can he be this persistent?
That's it.. Question's now wholesome af.
Ugh..
Mina! in the name of Heinz ketchup compose yourself!
I tried to read all of the messages from the ahjussi. Why am I not surprised?
(5:51 pm) Unknown number: "Do you know who I am now?
:-D"
(5:56 pm) Unknown number: "How about the answer? :->"
(5:58 pm) Unknown number: "Hello?"
(5:59 pm) Unknown number: "Hi :-)"
(6:03 pm) Unknown number: "I'll give you a clue about the answer to my question. :-)"
(6:08 pm) Unknown number: "It's a part of our body as well. Haha! I can't even. :-D please answer now."
(6:15 pm) Unknown number: "Am I disturbing you?"
Wow. Isn't it obvious ahjussi? Nice. That's an improvement.
(6:18 pm) Unknown number: "I'm sorry. :'-("
(6:25 pm) Unknown number: "Sorry again. I won't disturb you anymore."
What took you so long to realize that ahjussi? Thank God. I slumped on my bed in relief. I feel so relaxed now. Hmm.
~End of flashback~
So that's why I fell asleep. No more ahjussi! Yass!
"Mina honey I've been calling you for ages. Come on let's eat now honey." My mom went over my room just to check me. Wah, My mom's the best! Okasan Jjang!
"I'm sorry I just woke up mom. I'll be there in a jiffy."
My mom smiled at me and nodded her head. "Okay come quick, I'm starving." I smiled at her. "Haha! Yes ma'am."
I quickly picked my laptop up and turned the music off. I then ran quickly downstairs, the sweet aroma of Japanese food welcomed me.
Okasan and I were enjoying each other's company. Have I told you that my mom's tempura and teriyaki are the best? Mmmm. Yum. Not that I'm making you envious or something. It's just soo yummy especially when it's accompanied by the best thing in the world. Heinz ketchup. Yup, Teriyaki and Ketchup. Don't judge me.
"Honey slow down a little bit. You're not in a competition." I shyly looked at my mom. "I missed Japanese food mom you can't blame me."
~~~~~~~
After eating dinner, I washed the dishes and cleaned the table.
"Oh Mina, I forgot to tell you, I got this when I was preparing the laundry last time. I think it's from the diner you often go to.. I don't know... Here check it." My mom left something on the table and left.
What's that? A piece of paper? I went near the table and took it. Wait. It's a tissue paper. Okasan's been acting weird, why is she giving me this piece of tissue paper?
I was about to throw the tissue in the garbage bin when I noticed something.
A note?
"Hi Myoui Mina, sorry I wasn't able to protect you from the ahjussi a while ago. Again, I am very sorry. Not all Koreans are like him okay? Don't worry, the next time we see each other, I'll accompany you to my favorite places and introduce you to some of my friends. Take care Ketchup girl."
P.S.
Here's my number text or call me if you need someone to talk to okay? (XXXXXXXX)
-Son Chaeyoung :-)
I swear my eyes popped out from its socket after I read the note. I didn't need to check the number twice.
The smiley with a nose was enough.
Oh fvck...
