WALK THROUGH WALLS

THIRTY-TWO

" Lensah you can be evil if you want" Aggie complained
" What did I do this time round?" I said
" You forgot to wake me up today thus I was late for your surprise concert with Korn here."
" We never planned anything and have you forgotten yesterday how you were complaining that I woke you up so early?"
" Aggie, give my mother a break now please."
" Yeah Aggie, Cai is right, can't you see that she doesn't look like her normal self?" Eugene said.
" What has happened to you Phi, you look pale!" Tem said while putting a yoke on my plate and taking my egg to peel it.
" It's nothing, just a bad dream last night that is making me angry"
" N'Lensah, I know you don't believe that yourself."
" Guys, can you cut it out. If my mom wants to talk she will do it. Let her be."

At that, I looked at Cai and whispered a thank you to him. I then ate my eggs and excused myself from the table. I guess I needed some time alone to rearrange my thoughts. As I was walking out of the cafeteria, my phone just rung,looking at the caller, it was just the person I wanted to talk to.

" Hey my Aussie sweetheart. "
" Morning my African angel. I woke up and just thought of you. What's up with the flirting this morning?"
" It's nothing Fe, I was just about to call you."
" I know you never call except when going through something."
"😔😔😔😔😔😔"
" Why are you making faces girl it is true. Anyway, I don't hold it against you. I am happy that you always see me as a shoulder to cry on and that's enough for me. Now tell me, how is the competition itself there."
" What can I say, I just got into an argument with my team leader and truthfully, I am scared that I went too far this time. I was agitated..."
" And then?"
" I walked away from her but I was told that she was crying."
" I understand what you are going through but just a stupid question, have you been praying lately?"
" Mmhhh!!"
"Lensah, that's not a rhetorical question sweetie, have you or the best question is did you pray today morning?"
" I....I kinda forgot to pray..  I have been busy to..."
" Oh, seriously Lensah, we are going with the busy card really?"
" Calm down Fe, I..."
" Let's talk later ok and Lensah, don't do anything stupid in the meantime, cool down ok? Can you do that simple thing?"
" Ok..." And before I replied the phone was silent. I look at the phone on my hand and I don't know if I feel ok after talking to Felix or if I feel worse.

At this moment, I had reached my room. I went in, put my phone on my bed, went to take a quick shower and then I dressed up not forgetting the pink t-shirt and then I laid on my bed. I think I dozed off because my phone vibration woke me. It was Cai calling to ask where I was because the class had already started. I told him to sign for me that attendance list then I rampaged my things to find where my writing materials. Then I went out towards the class.

Officially, this was the worse day so far. Now I was late for class which meant that I will be the centre of attraction for entering class after the instructor...BRAVO RAE... These were the times I wished I had a voodoo doll and needles to prickle her everywhere for my amusement.. if only wishes were horses...

As I was approaching the hall, I bumped into someone.. nice now comes the Korean etiquette class 101
"Joisonghamnida!" I said while bowing down. When I raised my face, there it was, the annoying smile that I always want to wipe away from this handsome face.
"Annyeonghaseyo Mrs Park. Mmh, so you can be humble if you want. Damn I wish I had taken a video of this. Jimin will not believe this." Jungkook said while laughing at me.
" Are you finished mocking me because I am kind of in a rush to class" I said while attempting to walk past him. Damn this day could not be this bad and it is still early morning now I meet the most annoying mankae of BTS house.
" Damn girl, what crawled up your ass this morning. You look like shit. What's up! This is not the Lensah that J'adore!"
"That Lensah, mmhh cette fille est morte hier soir! Mianhae"
" Hey, slow down there, I know you are multilingual or something so don't embarrass me with so much French."
" You started it yourself. Anyway Mjungu, I am leaving, jal isseo!" When I just pass him, he holds my arm to stop me. "Hey you young boy, have you ever heard of sexual harassment?"
" Oh sorry" then he leaves my arm," sorry for teasing you just now. What's up, you don't look fine."
" I am not fine but I am a woman we are strong mammals you know. Excuse me, am heading to class."
" But you are late already. Let me treat you to some frozen yogurt then you tell me what's up with you. I know that you hate my guts almost all the time but I can be a very good dustbin."
" My my my, so our little Mjungu is all grown now much that your mouth can spot out knowledge"
" What can I say, you bring out the cleverness in me. So are you up for some frozen yoghurt Mrs Park?,"
" You know my weak point so much. Let me just send a message to little Cai then we go ok." Then I took out my phone sent the message and then we started walking towards a canteen nearby.
" So what brings you here?" I asked him when we reached our destination
" Jin forgot some documents back at home and I was bullied to bring them to him. Jimin wanted to come because he would have a chance to spend the day with you but the others said that it was a disaster in the making because he would be forced to leave and noone was up to that challenge."
" Mmmh, I see."
" Yeogiyo!" He called the waiter and ordered two vanilla frozen yogurt.
" How do you know that I love vanilla?"
" I had V and Jimin talk about how you hate pink so I figured that you don't like strawberry yogurt which leaves vanilla. Who hates vanilla."
" Damn, my words exactly. Vanilla makes the world go round."
" Phews! At last she smiles. You know your smile is priceless!"
" Stop it with your flirtery Mjungu! Anyway I guess I neede that. I had a very rough morning today."
" What happened. When I met you earlier, you looked like you were carrying the whole world's problems on your head."
" It's nothing much. I am not happy with my team leader."
" Let me guess, she is a showoff ha!"
" Exactly. It doesn't help that I am in the pink group"
" Whoah! Now I get you." The waiter came and gave us our drinks," but don't you think that you should look past the colour thing and try to see anything positive that she brings to the group."
" I have tried. The group colour is not a problem being that I have friends in the boy's pink team so that's one plus. This particular girl is just too selfish. We have two non Korean girls in the group but she doesn't consider that, she communicate in Korean language. Today we were to meet early in the morning, she never made it and then she had the audacity to blame me when I go late to another wierd meeting she organized.other groups have down something constructive in their groups but us, no, yesterday instead of doing that, she was talking about her trainee experience."
" Oh, now I understand. The non Koreans use you as their translator ah" I nod my head," I know the feeling but why don't you try thinking past the flaws. I know it is hard now. You have how many Korean members in your group?"
" Five"
" Wow, that's tricky, but then why do you exclude you from the Korean members. "
" Ok, there are six Koreans, a Japanese and a Taiwanese."
" What is the assignment this week?"
"Me Gustas Tu by Girlfriend."
" That's not a hard song. Do this, just pretend to be a fool. Go with the flow. Help out the non Koreans in your group, you never know where your blessings are hidden. I know you can do it. Hell you are an African lady who wants to make it in the K-pop industry.. that's a big step. I believe you can make it and it is not because I am flirtering you but because I see how Jimin believes in you. I know Jimin never goes wrong when it comes to judging people. Cheer up ok?" He then pats my back.
" Ok Mjungu. I think we should have a selfie to remember this faithful day that you talked like twenty wise old men."
" Ah, stop it, you are making me blush...."
" Oo oh! Little Mjungu is turning red hahahaha!"
