Frienemies?

         I got home yesterday around 5pm.  My roommate Meg was in Seoul and my other roommate Kayla was at church or something so I was home alone.  Or so I thought.  I turned on music and started to cook dinner.  I got a text from Meg’s boyfriend, San Gi, saying “what you doing?” and I said I was home cooking and so on.  Five minutes later I heard heavy breathing behind me and I turned around and San Gi was directly behind me.  I have never screamed so loud in my life.  (This is very typical of San Gi - he is the ultimate creeper.)  He was just hanging out in Meg’s room all day even though she wasn’t there.  At the time I was mostly annoyed and inconvenienced.

I called Robby to come over to save me from San Gi hitting on me while Meg was away.  He came by and soon the three of us were hanging out drinking when all of the sudden I heard a loud banging on my door.  I opened the door and there was this angry agishi screaming his lungs out at me in Korean.  I looked and he had kicked over a bag of recycling that I had left outside my door to remember to take downstairs later.  We’ve been doing this all year; no one has ever said anything.  I started to pick up the contents of the bag that HE knocked over all the while he is cursing at me in Korean.  He called me an idiot among other things.  Luckily San Gi was over and he stepped outside and San Gi and the angry agishi started yelling and screaming at each other and at one point San Gi was called “son of a bitch” (when a Korean says it in English, it comes out ‘son of a bitch-y’ – hehe.) 

Robby and I were pretty freaked out and we went back inside while San Gi and Angry Agishi duked it out.  About a half hour passed and Robby and I didn’t know where San Gi was so we went to look for him.  We found him downstairs in a restaurant drinking and laughing with Angry Agishi.  Then Angry Agishi was inviting us in to eat and drink.  I felt really uncomfortable but we went.  Anyway, it’s a really long story but in the end we ended up drinking with this guy for about two hours and he apologized and I half-heartedly apologized.  Geez.  Everything just escalated so quickly.  It was insane.

           Sadly, that was the better part of my night.

Last night I had plans with my friend Song Won.  I love Song Won.  He’s so sweet and so funny.  Sometimes he’ll just call to ask how I am and ask me what I did that day.  He’s a really nice guy and handsome guy.  But he thinks he’s not handsome.  He was telling me “this winter, face chang-y.”  Eye surgery, nose surgery….  Ridiculously unnecessary things, this guy is really handsome. 

Anyway so we hand plans and we were going to go to the singing room.  However, before we went I had to celebrate my friend Masashi’s birthday.  Song Won came for a bit and then he invited everyone to his coffee shop but no one wanted to go, except me.  So I went with him to his coffee shop and he cooked delicious food and made fun drinks for us.  Then he said he’d drive me home, not enough people for the singing room.  So we were on our way when he pulled out his phone and started playing music and singing along as eloquently as he could.  He has a great voice.

He was playing some English songs, among them, ‘Invisible’ by Clay Akin, which he was singing along to with all of the feverish passion he could possibly muster.  It was so funny, but I went along with it. 

Then he parked his car by Seonso and he kept playing music and singing while we walked along the water.  Then he started to play Soldier Boy and we both were doing to Soldier Boy dance outside by the water with cars dashing by…honestly hilarious.  Make it a life goal to watch a Korean dance to Solider Boy, seriously.

And then he drove me home.  It was such a random night.  Song Won is hilarious.
