EV was an amazing place, don't get me wrong, and I absolutely loved it, because every night with 140 foreigners working there in a small place, we would play a different sport every night and have movie night in the conference rooms. And when we weren't playing sports we were planning camping trips, talents shows, fund raisers, and of course drinking at the pub or having parties in our rooms. So every week, one night I would play basketball, volleyball, soccer, touch football, rugby, and ultimate frisbee. I tried to do do a dance with some of the girls there, but I gave up on that. I have no coordination and I can barely do a padabure properly. I only managed to get up at six a couple of mornings to do yoga. We even had a girl there, who would give us kickboxing lessons. After a while, though, I still got bored with all these things. I wanted to be in Seoul or explore more of Korea.
One weekend a year they have a massive Ultimate Frisbee Tournament in Busan. Busan is the southern most city on the coast of Korea. A bunch of us went. leaving on the Friday and then Clio was coming to meet us on Saturday afternoon. I packed everything. The cool thing about Korea is that they have a bullet train. The bullet train will take you from Seoul to Busan in 3 hours. Before this train, it would take a whole day to get there by car.
That Friday, the South Africans were having a barbeque in
the backyard of English Village and there was a concert by the EV Boyz of
course, so Micah had to stay for that. So first we ate with everyone, then Maisey,
Micah, Tasha, and I first had to take the train into Seoul. On that train, Micah was being his ridiculous self and he pretended to slam into the door and knock
himself out. The ajumas(old Korean ladies) on the train were concerned and making “aahh” noises.
The rest of us were dying laughing.
When we got on the bullet train, we started talking and that
meant of course we were talking about people in the Village. As I said before,
there were teachers and there were actors in the village and Micah was an actor.
They were called “Edutainers”, because they created little plays for the
visitors to learn English. We got yelled at a couple of times for being loud, as per usual.
So we got to Busan. We went out. The first night, Maisey was
not feeling well, so she went to bed early. Micah was supposed to sleep in the
bed with Maisey. But the three of us went out, I got really wasted . Tasha and
Micah had to carry me home. I don’t even remember getting home, but when I woke
up in the morning, Tasha and Micah were in the same bed. I didn’t really think
anything of it. We were all friends and I slept on the floor.
We all got ready and played ultimate frisbee on the beach,
which was great. We met new people who were living all over Korea and got invited to a party that night. One of the Korean guys taught me how to say, "Juketta" which means "I'm dying." We
explored Busan a bit, and then we went to the party. There was a Scottish guy
playing on one of the teams. At that time, I was obsessed with James McAvoy( who is Scottish), so
I was thinking, I might give this guy a try. At the party, he bought me a drink
and we started talking. First of all, I couldn’t understand a damn thing he
said, and secondly he was way too boring and wasted. Fail.
The next day, everyone but Tasha played frisbee again. Clio was there now, she came the next day. So that night, we all went to this bar called, “Thursday
Place.” When we got there, there was a beautiful Korean man sitting with his
friend. He was tall He had muscles and
dimples. Since I had so much luck with the “shiganesoyo” before, I went up to him and used it again and he said, " Of Course."
We hung out and he gave me his number. He said he had to
meet with a client. He was a golf instructor and his English name was Danny. So
he and I were texting, while he was gone and I couldn’t wait for him to come
back, but when he got back, I was really drunk. He brought his client and his
client’s wife back with him. He told his client I was his girlfriend. I was
sort of shocked, but I just went with it. Apparently, he was trying to make a
good impression in front of his client and I was trying the whole time to get
him to leave and have sex with me. The next thing I know, Micah picks me up and
carries me out the door. Micah, I think was kind of upset with me, because he was like a big brother figure, and he said I was just throwing myself at this Korean man. I was like, "So what? I'm single and I'm young and he's hot, leave me alone!"They must’ve known that the guy was coming to my room that night,
because the three of them slept in one room and left me in the other one by
myself.
The guy texted and came over. He was beautiful, but so
disappointing. I was really hoping the Asian stereotype about penises was not
true, but he proved it very true. When he had an erection, his penis (I am not
exaggerating) was the size of my pinky. I couldn’t feel anything. He was thankfully good as some other things...I'm not even sure if I should count that one....
In the morning, I was pretty ashamed. I didn’t really know
how to act because I had acted like such a whore in front of my friends. We
eventually got over it. I was kind of scared though, because that was my first real Korean experience. I was afraid they all might turn out to be disappointing.
One night, Tasha and I went out in Seoul. We of course, upon my pleading, stopped by Ho Bar for a little bit, and saw Aaron. Then I promised afterword to go to Itaewon. We went to this bar called Helios. Little did I know, this was the beginning of a ridiculous saga, that is Ju Hyun.
Tasha and I were just taking it all in and having a drink. The next thing I know these two Korean guys come up to us and want to talk. They wanted to buy us a drink, so I thought, that’s cool. One of them was really unattractive. The other one the more I looked at him, the hotter he became to me. Well, the ugly one was clearly into me and kept feeding me Long Islands. He said, “You are so beautiful.” I said, "You are crazy." He said, "Yeah, I’m crazy about you." Every time he went to the bar, I got to know his friend. The ugly one’s name was Jay and I thought the hot one’s name was Jun.
After talking to “Jun,” I found out he studied English in
England for two years. He had a sort of sexy, deep, British/Korean accent. I
told him I was not at all interested in his friend, but I think I could be interested in
him. He was like, "Oh really, because I think you are gorgeous." He said, "Let’s
dance". So we danced and we started making out. He told me he loved how my eyes got small when I smiled and that I had a small face. (Koreans are obsessed with small faces, because they all look like bobble heads) At that point, we were both so
drunk from drinking long islands, that we were stumbling, making out all over
Itaewon. (Later, Tasha told me that some guy came up to us and told us we were disgusting.)
He asked if I wanted to go back to his place and I was like sure why
not.He called a driver to come and get his car and take us back
to his place.(In Korea, you can call a driver, to come to where you are and for a fee they will drive your car, anywhere you want to go) We had sex at his place. He just kept telling me how gorgeous I was. In the
morning, I told him he had to take me back to Itaewon so I could catch the
train back. I had to go to work. On the way taking me back, he was still
complimenting me and saying he would like to see me again. I was trying to kind
of brush him off and I said, "I’m sure you have Korean girls lined up at your
door." He said he didn’t.
I thought about him all the way back to Paju, but didn’t
think anything would come of it. He called me the next day and asked if he could
take me out. He said he found some strands of my blonde hair on his sheets (kinda creepy, lol) and it made
him happy. He asked if he could come up and take me to dinner, but I had the
date with the bartender, so I told him I wasn’t sure about my plans. He asked about Thursday. I said
Thursdays, I play ultimate frisbee. He said we were like Romeo and Juliet. I
wasn’t sure what he meant by that.
I was talking to my girlfriends about it and they were like, "Come on Jess, you can miss one game of ultimate, let him come up and take you
to dinner." So I thought, what the hell, may as well play the field a little.
So this is how I came to be dating two Korean men at once....more to come next week.
