June 2017

(In the evening)

Once Hyungsik and I were immensely satisfied with our succulent black pork burger by the island's sea view, we headed back to the hotel in our rented vehicle.

The beginning of our twenty-minute drive was filled with awkward silence, a stark contrast to our lively and chatty selves during the day. It wasn't that we were weary from the day or bloated from the meal, but a vague air crept in without us both realizing. Despite his quietness, Hyungsik looked to be energetic all right, having no issues concentrating behind the steering wheel. As for me, as the Jeju skies turned from sky blue to sunset orange and then dark night, so did my senses and emotions – bubbly to sentimental and then guarded.

Keeping my hands clasped together, I mentally hypnotized myself to relax, although the corners of my mouth occasionally twitched at the stifling silence.

"Hmm-hmmm," Hyungsik cleared his parched throat, as we came to a halt before the red traffic light. Shifting his weight in his seat, his right hand reached out towards the rounded knob of the radio player, slowly, "Maybe, we should listen to the radio..."

With a light tap on the circular button, the slow tune of a familiar 90's R&B ballad came to fill the worrisome air, and I couldn't be more relieved. That was, until...

Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I will do anything, girl you need only ask

I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night...

I swore I almost choked on my own breath as the lyrics traveled from my ears to my brain. I let out a loud cough as I squirmed in my seat, discerning that Hyungsik was doing the exact same thing.

He beat me to my reflexes and already had his hand on the player, eager to change the channel. I heard him stutter, "Another... uhmm, channel?"

I nodded, wincing.

Boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come on now, follow my lead (hmm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body...

I love Ed Sheeran's songs. But this song was just at the wrong place, wrong time.

I turned my face towards Hyungsik, noticing a light pink shade on the edge of his elf-like ears which made me turn away as quickly.

Both my palms came up to my nose and my mouth, prohibiting myself to make any sound that would make matters worse. Hyungsik's teeth was now pulling on his lower lip as he nervously tapped on the radio frequency scanner, desperately searching for any calming and most importantly, decent tune, in the car.

(Bass Jamming)
I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back these feeling for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Then come on, come on

Let's get it on, ah baby, let's get it on
Let's love baby
Let's get it on sugar
Let's get it on...

I felt the hair on my arms stand as the soulful tune about lovemaking played. This was probably the most obvious tune yet. Hyungsik swore under his breath as he tapped the power button, clearly struggling with the choices of songs on the airwaves. Deciding silence was probably for the best, he cleared his throat once more, "I think... I think we're better off without the music..."
