'Jake'


It's a strange life. Last night I was sat in 홍대 Hongdae with a mentally disheveled and self-absorbed American artist, desperate to leave and stop listening/trying to fathom out her glassy eyes.

During this an odd number rang me up.

'Hello?'
'Hello' a female sounding voice replies.
'...Annyong haseo?'
'...Hello?'
(and repeat)
'...Annio Hanguk!' I plead in pig Korean, 'no Korean!'
The voice says hello again and starts laughing.
'JAKE?!' I cry out. I recognized the strangled pubescent voice finally - it's 'Jake' with the unibrow from school! 'What are you doing?!'
He kept laughing, so did I.
'Don't call me! Go to bed Jake!' (It was near 11).


Later I get a text -

GOOD NIGHT teacher. ^.^ I am sleep. Seeyounonmonday. ^.^
