Me and Love went to the restaurant that was around the office building. We decided to eat naengmyeon. Not really us, rather I. I think hot weather like this usually Koreans will eat naengmyeon. I don't know if my tongue is now used to Indonesian cuisine so I think it's time to synchronize my tongue with where I live now. I have Korean blood, right?
Going out to eat at work might make Love less comfortable. While me? I'm used to the hours I like so it's okay for me. Hehe.
" Aren't you comfortable eating at work?"
Love nodded her head.
" I'm an exemplary employee."
I laughed at Love's response.
" Haha. Just relax now the nickname loe will increase after this."
" What?" Ask curiously.
" Exemplary employee of his girlfriend's son sajangnim. Haha."
Love throbbing.
" a... It's so crisp." His word.
" You need to be too good. Who now dares to be the same loe and negur loe?" My real canda was trying to calm him down.
I opened my laptop and started working on a new design while waiting for my order cold noodles to arrive.
" Kim sajangnim is the one who dares my country." The answer.
" Are there really also my bokap? Aaaahh. but I think I'm not going to negur prospective son-in-law. Moreover, his son-in-law's candidate is not wrong." My god.
" Any way you're talking about a son-in-law." His protest.
" Shii." I laughed at the expression of Love.
" Shew dong? Now the girlfriend of the time tomorrow really so my ex candidate bokap. Haha."
" Huu ngarep really loe." He said while throwing the paper that had been crushed by him.
" My boyfriend is cold and rich in refrigerators, fierce again." I was laughing again.
Love grew furious and instead threw her notebook at me.
BUKH.
" Aww, what a terrible chagiya." I'm still teasing him. Seeing the expression of Love that was upset even more makes me anxious.
" Chagiya, chagiya your palamu." The omel.
The restaurant owner's aunt came to deliver the order and I finally stopped my joke on Love.
I immediately started eating as soon as my order was in sight. Do you know that Aidan is his hobby of eating? Ah I remember the first time I ate with Jessi noona when Jona hyung told me to drive Jessi. Maybe that's where I first started falling in love with Jessi noona. Yes right I should get used to calling Jessica with noona frills even though it was in my shadow. Even better I shouldn't have to think about Jessica anymore.
Cring.. Cring.. Cring...
My phone's beeping. I looked at the screen when Jessica called. I was silent, just finished thinking about it, Jessica called me. What else for? I had no intention of lifting it, I continued my feed.
" Hp the muffled sound instead of being picked up?" Love Saying.
I kept quiet and didn't answer. Then Love peeked at the screen of my phone that I put on the table.
" Jessi noona? It's Jessica who always keeps you focused, right?" Ask.
I stared intently at Love and it made the guts of Love shrink.
" I'm sorry if I got mixed up." Said slowly.
After the first call was not picked up I finally decided to pick it up on the second call.
" Hello noona?"
" I'm good. Very good in fact. Wh why? Do you miss me the same? Haha."
Love seems to be watching me. He knew I was just pretending. I don't know how far I told her when I was drunk yesterday.
" MWO? Jinjja's? (*WHAT? Really?)"
I was surprised, even very surprised to hear the news that Jessica conveyed but I had to pretend to be excited.
" Waa. Chukkae (*happy) noona, I'll be samchon again (*paman) nih."
" Yes yes, tomorrow I'm going to Indonesia with my new boyfriend."
" Seriously dong. Now even I'm eating the same mba boyfriend."
" Yes, I'm deadline tomorrow."
" Really."
" okay. Congratulations on your pregnancy, noona. I'll call Jona hyung too."
" Bye."
I hung up the phone and instantly my eating mood was gone. I pushed the noodle bowl away and I lowered my head.
" Aidan all right?"
The question of Love made me realize that there was someone near me right now.
I just smiled bitterly at the question of Love.
" Ajumma? Soju hanbyeong juseyo (*aunt? one bottle of soju please)." I asked soju to the aunt of the restaurant owner.
" Aniyo ahjumma (*no aunt)." Love instantly rectifies the order.
" Loe what the hell is Aidan? Do you want to repeat my mistake this afternoon? It's still working hours, you can mabok. " Love reminds me not to get drunk.
" But I want to get rid of the burden of my love. The only way ya with me is drinking."
" There I am Aidan. Loe can curhatin it's all the same to me."
" But you won't understand Love." I said while holding tight.
Slowly the water pooled in my eyes.
" Yes... That's why I tell you let me understand." Her speech.
" I know this feeling is wrong. But until this moment I can't forget the slightest feeling of Jessica." I finally told her about love.
" Jessica who's loe?"
" My brother-in-law now."
Love began to understand the direction of my conversation.
" So you love brother-in-law Loe?"
I nodded my head in response.
" The story is complicated. At first he was betrothed to my brother continued because one thing and another their matchmaking was void and finally I was betrothed to him. But he was happy with me, I finally chose to let him go back to my brother. But my feelings are too good Love. Can you imagine how I feel now? I felt betrayed when the news of her pregnancy just now."
I covered my eyes with my hands because I thought my tears had started to come out of the hiding place.
" Can I give you some advice?" Ask Love.
I just nodded my head without lowering my hands from my eyes and face.
" Loe should try to open your heart to others. That's the only way you can move on. The most powerful heartbreak cure is to fall in love again, Aidan." Her speech.
" Yes I know that very well but practice is not as simple as theory."
" Loe said rich because you haven't tried to let Jessica out of your life. Either because it's not ready or you're intentional to not want to be ready." His words made me think that what Love said had a point.
I paused for a moment then thought of an idea that I thought was strange, but I still wanted to try to say it.
" Love?" Call me.
" Eum?" The answer.
" Loe want to help me make Jessica forget?" My toot.
" I'll try to help you as much as I can Aidan." The answer.
" I mean, what if we're really dating?" I ask more about the declaration of love.
" huh? Meanin?" Love is still confused by my question.
I turned serious then held her hand.
" Love? Narang Sagwillae's? (*Love? Will you be my girlfriend?)
