Motel with Jin...

I was supposed to meet Jin on Friday night, but she cancelled due to sickness and asked to meet the next day. Fine by me, I thought, as I'd save money and get a whole night of GTA in. I ended up meeting Malay for a KFC pie and talking about GTA before going home to play it.

Then on Saturday she sent me this message:

"i cried last night..i feel so desporate these day....my face so terrible... we better see tomorrow.."

And so that made it Sunday then. After my Grand Final game. I was worried she'd be in a sour mood and I'd be elated over a Grand Final win, but (luckily?) it didn't turn out that way. I still wasn't sure how her mother's surgery went, as she never told me despite me asking.

So after Sunday's game I met up with her. I was afraid she'd cancel again, and it'd make me start wondering whether this was all a ploy to just get the last batch of money from me without spending any unnecessary time with me.

But she didn't cancel. In fact, although I didn't get it until it was too late and I had started driving, she sent me a message asking me to drink. I drove to her place and she said she wanted to go to the Korean restaurant next door, so I asked her to go in first and I'd find parking.

After parking I found her all alone in the restaurant next to Madang. She was wearing some fairly bright coloured skirt, which I guessed it was because it was getting quite hot these days. I gave her a lighter I bought earlier as I needed some coins for the parking meter. She seemed to appreciate it, only adding that it wasn't new when I said it was, because there were some scratches on it. She ordered the food and didn't seem depressed. I was still trying to feel out her mood and wanted to ask about her mother, but we made some small talk. She even asked me about my basketball, and I said we came second and showed her the photos, adding that I got hit in the jaw.

There were some laughs, so she was definitely ok, but I felt like I still needed to tread lightly. When the moment came, I asked about her mother. She said she had surgery but was asleep now for a long time and if she doesn't wake up in a week then it's very dangerous. I assumed she meant a coma.

I had been drinking bits of soju here and there and was really starting to feel it. My head started aching and I could feel my face going red.

She spoke on the phone with someone, and despite me asking if it was Suri, she said no and then later said Suri and Ash would join us. I was like ok, and then said I needed to go put more money in for parking. I joked that I was going home, which actually scared her because she yelled out saying she had no money and wanted me to make sure I was coming back, lol. Due to my drunkenness, I actually stumbled a bit as I turned around to leave.

When I came back I found Suri and Ash sitting where I had sat, and there was now a seat to Jin's left. I shook Ash's hand and was surprised Suri wanted to shake hands too. Almost immediately we got into laughs and easy talk. Yuri said she knew I lost my job and asked if I was ok. Ash said he had been made redundant before for six months and reassured me I'd get something. Despite the fact that this was all a lie, I still felt the natural sadness that came with losing one's job. Hmmm.

Suri told me that her name was Suri, named after Tom Cruise's daughter.

We played that game where you have to flick the thing off the soju cap. When it was my first go, I dropped the cap onto the ground and Yuri said that meant I needed to do a 'shot' of a half glass of beer. I didn't do it in one go, but I did fairly well I thought for a guy who doesn't like drinking. Needless to say, I felt completely fucked after this.

So for the rest of the game, I was hoping to God that either Ash or myself would win so I wouldn't have to drink. Luckily, Ash won, and we watched as Suri and Jin downed their beers. We played another game and this time it was more exciting, with me executing the final blow and Suri playfully accusing me of cheating lol. They downed their drinks again and I just thought about how lucky I was as I think I would've thrown up if I had to drink anymore.

Suri mentioned something about Jin having to move out cause her family was here. She said Ash was sleeping on the sofa, her and her mother were in her room, and her brother and someone else was in Jin's room. She said Jin was staying with Jin Jung and was cleaning and cooking, adding she did it for $200 a day. Not sure if that last bit was a joke.

Later Suri and Jin went out to smoke. Jin told Ash and I to talk lol. I decided to take this opportunity to 'scope' some things out. I said  heard he and Suri were no longer going to Bali and he said yeah, because now Suri wanted to go to Korea as her mom wanted Ash there. He also mentioned the fact that her family's stay here in Australia was longer than he expected. I told him about my grand final that day and showed him a photo. I later also asked him about video games and he said he has a PS3 and plays NBA2K and some other games I had heard of but didn't like, but was surprised he didn't like GTA. I told him I went to the midnight launch.

Suri came back and I asked if Jin was still smoking. She said she still smokes now, but less. I just nodded, and Ash clarified the question for her. She questioned why I didn't ask her again when her answer was wrong. I know that's a bad trait of mine, to just nod and say yeah even when I don't understand, and I had been caught out.

Jin came back and we all continued eating and talking, then Jin asked me to go out with her to smoke. We sat on the seats outside and she started talking about going to a motel for the night. I thought she was joking at first but she actually meant it. I had to think quickly - I had work the next day, but she obviously didn't know that. What do I do with my car? Should I call in sick the next day? Do I book the motel for one night or two? How do I tell my mom I wasn't coming home tonight?

So many questions. I actually seriously considered saying no, but in the end said yes. There was even talk about coming to my house, and I said my mom was home. She asked if I hadn't told my mom about her and I said I did (lie) but I couldn't just bring her home for a night without some preparation.

We went back into the restaurant and the bill came. I was eager to pay for it as they paid for it last time. There was a bit of a struggle between Suri and Jin, until I grabbed the receipt off Jin and went to pay. It was $170 which was ok (guess I am now used to these Korean restaurant prices). When I came back Suri said she felt bad (probably because according to her I was now unemployed) but I said it was ok.

There was talk about Jin staying with me for the night and I asked if I could park my car in their apartment as Ash had earlier volunteered that. Ash said yeah but then I began pondering again. There was suggestion of getting a Korean 'courier' to drive my car home for $60, but I didn't like that. In the end, I sought Ash's help and gave him my car key.

We sat outside the restaurant for a bit, and there was now more talk about whether Jin and I would go to a motel or my house. I heard Suri say something to Jin in Korean and Jin said "Korean style", so I assume it was something about sex. What was so bad about us having sex if we were a couple??

Anyway, they left for my car and Jin called a Korean courier to pick us up. She asked to go to a liquor place, which happened to be right next door to the motel I had in mind. We went into the liquor shop and she bought a bottle of wine, then we went to the Ibis where I pad $150 for a room for the night. While waiting for the paper work to be processed, she kept biting me right in front of the guy, so I felt a bit embarassed.

We had also bought some snacks from the Korean grocery store so I was expecting a night of snacks and drinking. I made sure to get a bottle of water. But when we got up there, all I could feel was my head pounding away due to the alcohol earlier. I really wanted to sleep but she asked me to sit on the chair. She straddled me and made a call on her phone as she started kissing me lightly. She asked me to say hello to whoever it was as I kissed parts of her and opened a pack of snacks. She drank some wine and gave me some, but it repelled me, probably because I had had enough. She had earlier spilt some on herself, and now she split some on me.

After the call we kissed and I would intersperse it with drinks of water. I finally lifted her up and carried her to the bed where we kissed more. She asked me to turn off the lights which I did, then we stripped naked and she got on top of me and we started having sex. I half wanted the sex, and half wanted to fall asleep. I could tell she was getting really passionate. I got on top of her but then she would later forcefully get back on top of me.

After a while we just stopped and went to sleep lol. Sometime later, we had sex again and this time I came. I actually came inside her, which I started regretting almost immediately but I think I was too drunk to care. We went back to half sleeping again. I don't think either of us got much sleep. She woke up at about 4am to watch some Korean drama on her phone. I knew for my part I'd sleep a bit, wake up, sleep a bit, and wake up. I think I wasn't used to sleeping with someone.

Later on, I think she got restless and playfully hit me on my head and body. I put up with it for a while before getting on top of her and kissing her. We had sex again but ended when she said she was tired, so I got off and went back to sleep. We were still kinda playful as I'd try to lift up the blanket to see her breasts and she'd playfully resist.

Finally my alarm went off. I ended up sleeping for another hour before showering. When I came out, she was already dressed. We checked out, and I picked up the car from Ash then picked up Jin, which took a while because I had to wait for Ash.

I went home, brushed my teeth and caught a bus out to work. Normal life back on. First day of this big lie.

I texted her a heart symbol and she asked me where I was and what I was doing today, despite me telling her at dinner before Suri and Ash arrived. I wondered if she was suspicious, or if I was being over-sensitive and that these were just normal questions.
