Wasuremono (Japanese)

(n) forgotten or lost things; an item left behind on a train or forgotten at home

I found myself remembering something and teetering on the edge of Uh-oh, and finally realizing something important.

"Oh, shit. The box!" I cried. I looked back at the parking lot and see the van drifts away. I could only form an o shape on my mouth and not moving an inch while seeing the van moves farther away, getting smaller in my sight each and every second passed.

Afterwards, I walk inside the building, ride the elevator, and arrive at my sort-of home in the middle of Gangnam. I live alone here, it's a small lofty-styled place with not so much things inside, and that things are mostly Scandinavian-styled. I drop my bag at the sofa, erase my make-up, cleanse my face, brush my teeth, and then change my clothes to a more comfortable ones. I lay on my bean chair, feel tired but not sleepy enough to go to bed right away. My parents call. They asked about my day, my dad mostly talk while my mom will chime in between. It was short, the call. I love this routine when I just arrive home like this, just like normal people, just like other young adults who is going to university, get back to their dorms at night and their parents called around asking how their day went through.

I scrolled my smartphone, checking the chart, a habit that is also my guilty pleasure. I promised myself not to pay attention much to the chart as it put pressures on me, a hefty kind of pressure. But it also gives me a sense of accomplishment, how can it not? An apparent result of hard work is shown real time, and so it is a damn awesome pleasure to be on top of the chart. And yes, Leon's still on top. Nice, Ji Eun, nice. Mapsosa is 2nd. Sponsor is 3rd. Fourth is Fear by Song Mino of Show Me the Money. Oh that Mino from Winner, we had this little kind-of awkward but awesome harmonization duet at MAMA before. He released another new song? Okay let's check that out.

Oh, it's featuring Taeyang.

Download. Immediately.

Eh..eh oh. Wow. What a lyricism from the song. What a delivery.

We're all sinking in the same boat here. For them it's "fear", for me it's "wait". We're all bored and desperate and waiting for something to happen. Waiting for life to get better. Waiting for things to change. Waiting for that one person to finally notice us. We're all waiting. And at some point of my life, I am waiting for Youngbae oppa.

Yes, I would like to finally calling his name with added term of endearment oppa behind his name. Not oppa meaning older brother but oppa as in, you know, oppa. Except he is always seeing me as a fan, an ecstatic, wide-eyed, giddy, and giggly one. And probably a dongsaeng and hoobae.

I guess the more you start to like someone, the more you ache when they're gone, and maybe it's that middle ground that hurts the most, when you can see them and still not feel like you're near enough. So close and yet so far. That excerpt from Emmy & Oliver is explaining my position to Youngbae oppa the best. So close and yet so far. I kissed him on the cheek on Heroes, he chose me 3 times on some random pole about Heroes member he likes the most, I guest-performed on his solo concert, he hugged me during Alive promotion on Inkigayo, I sat next to him on Melon Awards, he jokingly asked for my rose on MAMA, we're together on Infinity Challenge Music Festival...
