"Oppa!" I heard a yell from behind. I sighed in annoyance.
I turned around and saw her running towards me.
"Annyeong!" She smiled brightly
I nod at her in response.
"Oppa I brought you lunch. I made it this morning." She eagerly gave me the lunchbox.
"You shouldn't have ...."
"Ani. It was my pleasure Oppa. I love cooking for you."
I timidly took the lunchbox from her and nod my thanks.
I started to walk away
"Have a great day Oppa!" She yelled at me.
I winced in annoyance.
*So irritating...*
---------------------
We stepped out of the building ready to call it a day when she appeared out of nowhere.
"오, 젠장 ( o, jenjang! - oh sh*t!)
"Oppa!"
"Yah! Why do you have to appear like that! You scared the living lights out of me!"
"Sorry... I just want to see you before you leave. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat dinner. I know a good place not far from here."
"No thanks." I started to walk away when she grabbed for my hand.
"Oppa... come on.. it's really not far...."
"Yah! What don't you understand?! I don't want to eat with you!"
"Oppa...."
"You're so irritating. Always following me around like a stray puppy! You're so annoying! Yah! Don't you have a life?! Other friends to bother?!"
She didn't answer but when I saw her tears threatening to fall. I knew right there and then that I went too far..
"Yah.. Sorry.. I'm just.." I tried to reach for her but she stepped back.
Her tears now falling. She bit her lip and turned around and ran away.
"Yah!" I called out for her but she didn't stop.
*What the hell did I do?!*
----------------------------------
Few days after, I haven't seen her around. I would stop by the restaurant she worked at the building but she was always not there.
*She's avoiding me.. that's fine! This is what you wanted anyway! Right....?*
Days turned to weeks then months. I always wonder how she's doing. She never seek me out since that night. I should be happy right? I got rid of her.
But deep down I know.. I want to see her.
"Ani. I just want to apologise. That's right." I said to myself.
"Talking to yourself again huh? That's scary."
I turned around and saw a good friend I haven't seen for a long time.
"Yah! When did you arrive?!" I exclaimed and pulled him for a hug.
"This morning. As soon as I removed my jet lag I came here. How are you? Long time no see my friend."
"Great!... fine..."
We started to walk out the building to do some catch up when from the corner I saw her.
