"Nooooooooo! You murdered what's left of my crappy love life! Look what you did Eunhye! Now I can't phone him!" I wailed, causing Alex to snicker and Max to cringe at my loud voice.
"Joo-Eun, I can't believe you." she exclaimed, taking out a handkerchief from her purse. "You're such a little kid sometimes. I can't believe you'd be bawling over this." she murmured, wiping at my face.
"Well you would be too if you lost the only means of connection to the love of your life!" I continued to cry aloud, stamping my sneakers against the tile floor.
"I'm sure you'll see him again and then you can get his number again. It's no big deal, really." She went on and on, clicking her tongue at me.
Gah! No freaking way! This isn't happening! Maybe I'm just so used to my sister ruining things for me with her nosy, accidental ways that I'm just imagining that she screwed me over yet again and just erased the precious phone number on my-
"What's his name, anyways?" she asked, rudely breaking into my private inner monologue.
I just sniffled, wiping at my eyes. "Jin." I mumbled.
Eunhye thoughtfully tapped her chin before taking out her cellphone. I eyed her as she scrolled through her phonebook.
"Is his full Korean name, Lee JeonJin?" she asked, still scrolling down her long ass list in her cell phone.
I hiccupped and shrugged. "I don't know."
"Does he have pretty long hair around up to his neck with shaved under buzz cut, dark eyes, pouty lips, very tall guy, well-built and rides a Yamaha YZF600 Thundercat?" she asked instead, listing everything like I’m shopping for a thing instead of trying to identify a human being.
That’s my sister the know-it-all for you.
Max immediately looked up at the mention of a motorcycle and violently nodded. "That's him, Joo-Eun!" he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
I gawked at her in amazement upon hearing her describe my Jin.
"How-how did you..."
Eunhye took my cell phone and punched in some numbers. "There. Now you won't risk losing his phone number a second time." she announced, returning my cell phone to me with a wink.
I just stood there, stunned that she had known MY Jin, aka Lee JeonJin all along!
"You guys didn't date..did you?" I finally managed to snap out of my stupid daze and ask her.
It would be such a turn off if I end up falling for one of my sister's previous flings.
Eunhye slightly grimaced. "Oh, no way. I just know him because of Micky. That doofus has a ton of friends." she replied.
Micky's my sister's boyfriend. They met in junior high and have been calling 'breaks' every week just because of the typical petty couple fights. They always get back together by the end of the following week but this time, it's already been two and a half weeks and it seems that the couple are still peeved at each other.
"More than half of his friends are girls, if you ask me." she added under her breath, with a scowl on her face.
Bingo.
Park Chanwoo, aka Micky is quite the flirt. He's a pretty cool guy, really smart, funny, sweet, not to mention extremely good looking but he just can't seem to break the habit of flirting the socks off anything feminine.
He even woos my grandma, for Pete's sake. It's his curse and blessing to have such a carefree, ahem, nature.
"Well, if you ever get sick of Micky, I'm always available." Alex tried, wiggling his eyebrows.
Eunhye rolled her eyes and pushed him off his chair.
"I'd rather get my tubes tied and join a convent." she dryly replied.
"I was kidding around. Jeez, can't even take a joke." Alex grumbled, rubbing his butt which broke his fall while Max and I high fived each other with a laugh.
"By the way, Joo-Eun. I'm happy for you getting his number but I hope you don't become too attached to him."
I instantly felt my nostrils flare up in indignation and jealousy. "And why not?" I demanded.
Eunhye ignored my reaction, so used to my bull-headed nature. "From what I hear, that guy is pretty bad news."
"Maybe he's just...uh...misunderstood!" I defended him.
Eunhye shook her head, a grim look on her pretty face. "He's moved around a lot because he gets suspended from school for fighting all the time,"
"So he needs anger management." I cut in. "No big deal. Everyone needs to blow off steam now and then anyways."
"Joo-Eun, he also smokes. You hate smokers. You even manage an anti-smoker web-site." Eunhye wryly reminded me.
I lifted my chin. "Well, I'll buy him those patches and help him overcome it."
"He also drinks," she continued to list his faults on her fingers.
"It's healthy to drink every now and then." I insisted, finding myself slowly placing the guy under the 'dumb ass' list.
"He's a huge womanizer,"
I instantly remembered all those naughty things in his pockets but remained in my seat, crossing my arms with a stubborn look on my face.
I don't care! If you love someone, you accept all of their faults along with their good points, dang nammit!
"Well at least he's straight!" I blurted out, running out of good arguments.
Bah, who am I kidding? Eunhye is right. She's always right. Jin is a dumb ass in every sense.
