Let the lights shine

Mina

"Green tea latte please" she said in a soft voice.

He was looking down at his phone. A flood of messages had come in. Sweet and worried love letters from his girlfriend. He had to reply. The typical 'im ok, sorry i didnt text. Miss you too'

They sat down as she started bowing down the freshly made pancakes. You would think that such a slender girl wouldnt be able to eat that many pancakes. He looked at her with the wildest interest of a child. She was still so strange, yet so common. She was like a strange flower to him. Beautiful with a strong stem, yet very fragile petals.

"So what is your name?" He asked her.

"Mina." She replied back in between a bite.

He was stunned for a second. How did she.... he understood she is taking the 'no name no number' phylosophy and didn't want to say her real name, Amber, but why chose the name of his girlfriend.

"How did you?" He paused.

"Huh. How did I what? Get my name? Well my mom decided she likes it. Why is it weird in korea?" She innocently answered.

"No no its not" he nervously replied. Suddenly a tense feeling overtook him. Why is it so uncomfortable?

"And you?"

"Me? Kim... Kim Chinwoo" he replied.

"Nice to finally know you Kim"

"Oh no. In korea Kim is my family name. I am Chinwoo. Call me Woo if you prefer." He said and she smiled back.

They finished breakfast and he left off for work.

He felt a warm breath on his back. It was going down his spine. It felt really good. It then crawled around in and to his front. A hand slid down his pants and he felt the plesure of a naked touch. It was good. He couldnt help but let out a moan. He then heard his name "chinwoo" in a soft voice. It was nice. All he could do what mumble "mina." The image of the browneyed foreigner vividly infront of him.

"Chinwoo" the call got louder. "Chinwoo" "Chinwoo" it was stressed and loud and he suddenly snapped out of his sensation and widely opening his eyes witnessing the face of his girlfriend. "Are you ok? You are sweating. You were also saying my name in your sleep. You feeling ok?" She asked in that warm soft voice she has.

He couldnt even mutter his words. He just nodded and turned around on bed away from her. He couldnt bare this. The name he had cherished as hers was now overpowered by the new 'her'. The foreign one. Not even Mina in reality. Yet she toyed his mind and possesed it. How in such swiftness? Could it be just good sex? Honestly what more was there? There couldn't be more, right? 

'Mina' went again through his mind as he refell asleep.
