Everything went better than expected!

I found myself waking up at 1am last night. This was obviously bothering me. I ended up calling Erica from my home phone, and it rang and rang until someone just rejected the call.

Hmmm.

I couldn't sleep and bummed around on the net before finally going to bed, resigned to the fact that this was another Naby situation.

At about 3am, I heard my phone message tone. At first I had hoped it was from Erica, but then realised it probably wasn't. I checked my phone, it was a message from a new number.

3:31am - Erica my pone nomber
3:31am - Erica my pone nomber
3:31am - Erica my pone nomber

Whoa...it was her. From another number. At 3:30am. She must've gotten my message? Did she know the two unknown calls were from me?

I thought about answering it, but didn't want her to know I was awake at this hour (hence leading to the further inference that I was awake at 1am).

Then I got more messages.

3:37am - I will see u again when i come back

What did she mean by that? Is she off to Korea NOW?!?

Nevertheless, I still couldn't reply.

3:37am - I will miss you

Awwww. In that instant, it suddenly made everything right. I had been too quick to judge, too quick to come to a conclusion. I fell asleep, feeling good.

When I got up, there was another message.

7:01am - Today i wil go back to korea. . .

Oh. So she is going back today.

I now knew at least that she hadn't ditched me. That she hadn't screwed me around. That maybe things were out of her control.

I felt happy again. Before, I seriously didn't know how I was going to play in the Finals tomorrow night with this attitude. But now I felt on top of the world, ready to take anything on. Funny how my mood can just change like that.

Me @ 7:41am - I will miss you too :(

Me @ 7:42am - Why do you go back today?

By now I had left home and started walking to work.

Erica @ 7:49am - TT

Not really sure what that meant. It seemed Korean. Or maybe it was just a pair of eyes.

Me @ 7:51am - I will wait for you, we will have steak when you come back :)

This had suddenly turned into something like the Titanic, or Romeo and Juliet, where I felt like we were being forced apart.

Erica @ 7:54am - Steak. . ok. com back . you waiting

Me @ 7:55am - Send me message when you come back ok?

By now I had put my phone in my bag.

I pulled it back out later, and to my surprise...

Erica @ 8:00am - Ok

Erica @ 8:02am - 'Missed call'

She...called? Did she want to speak to me, or did she just press the wrong button? Damn me for putting my phone in my bag. If I hadn't of, I would know whether she wanted to speak to me or if it was an accident.

How would talking go? We have enough trouble communicating when we're together...and on the phone?

Erica @ 8:07am - Me korea   pon ok?

Not really sure what that means.

Me @ 8:08am - Want me to call you?

Erica @ 8:09 - Yes

I sucked in my breath and called. It rang. And rang. And rang. I hung up.

Then she called back.

I called her Angry Bird. There was a slight pause before I heard her voice. All of a sudden it sounded familiar. I asked her where she was, and made out that she was at the airport. I could hear a PA in the background, so she probably was.

I didn't want to ask her why she had to leave now, because obviously it seemed like she didn't want to answer that.

I told her two months was too long. She asked me where I was, I said I was walking to work. She said she would give me her Korean number. I asked if she wanted me to call and she said yes, and started giving it to me before I said I didn't have a pen and asked her to message it to me. She said ok and said bye.

Erica @ 8:14am - [she sent her number] ok?

Me @ 8:15am - Very ok :)

Me @ 8:15am - Have a safe trip!

I put my phone back in my bag. When I got to the office, I saw more messages.

Erica @ 8:24am - You konw kakao talk ??

Erica @ 8:28am - Thank you.

Me @ 8:43am - No kakao talk...but I will look for it :p

And that was it :)

Despite feeling like shit because of the lack of sleep, I was A-OK and...
