"You're terrible at lying Lyn so give up already"
"Fine! But do you think I did or said something wrong?"
"I think not. Maybe he's busy or something. Just leave it be. He'll reach out if he wants to"
"But I feel terrible. Stupid even"
"Says the one who didn't want to be friends with him" she scowled
"I was only trying to be careful"
"Yeah yeah whatever. Now go on and get cleaning. It's already past 4pm and if you still want to watch that drama with me then let's do this quickly and head home"
"Do you know what drama I have in mind?"
"The one you watch every Sunday Celine.... Do you have a crush on Song Kang? because this is near obsession. You don't even watch the entire episodes, just skipping to all the heated moments"
"I've seen all the episodes repeatedly. I just like to....."
"Watch them making out!" She says sighing
"Ya! You don't have to say it like that"
"But admit Celine, you like watching those moments"
"We all do. Now quit trying to make me feel like a devil"
"Try getting the real action and stop tormenting yourself watching all that"
"I never said I was missing out on anything did I?" I say raising an eyebrow. I know where this talk is headed. Somi is playing cupid and trying to have me to date someone. It's never gone past one date with all 4 guys, I don't know who's the problem; me or them? All I know is I never felt that connection.
I always got distracted and tired no matter how much I tried to give it all my attention. And maybe a part of me was still scared of dating. I don't want another mistake. Another Michael.
"At this rate I'm going to start praying specifically for you to find love again. Whatever that bastard did to you needs to go away completely. Remember what I told you at namsan park on new year's eve? It's a new year, new beginnings, renewed hopes and a chance to try again. Don't get stuck holding on to the past"
" I know Som, it's just that right now, I'm too invested in this and my career"
"Oh please. Celine, you were too freaking invested in your father's company that he shoved you into the arms of a psycho and you stayed there because of that same job!"
"I know" I whisper with my head hanging low
"When will you learn to live for yourself? Have some fun Celine! For once in your life, think about you. Put Celine first! I'm not asking you to jump into the arms of any moron or even the celebs who have visited this store and hit on you, I'm saying make out time for yourself, breath Celine" She moves closer and engulfs me in a hug.
"You're sounding like my mum now" I say smiling
"Ofcourse I'm your mama. Who else can deal with your crazy ass Lyn? But just promise me you'll do better alright? First, begin by accepting love, quit being afraid of love itself. Not anyone wants to hurt you"
