The Gem of the Land of Ginseng

episode 19's

"TING TUNG!"

"Eh?"

A voice emerged from my PC shortly after I removed my headphone jack cable. Tone chat login in facebook inbox. Hmm, Diana? She online?

*18.45

•^^^^^^^^^^^_online*?

Oh yeah, I was online, right? I smile. Well, maybe it's okay to chat for a second? I sent a reply for him. Come to think of it this is a moment where I chat with a girl who likes me huh? Haha, suddenly I feel nervous.

This is my first time. I don't mean Diana as my best friend. But as someone who likes me.

*hm.. Just idle. Hehe.. Biasalah, not the present child. I rarely.

I pressed the send button in the chat window. No need to wait for long, Diana immediately replied to him.

•Instead, the present child.

Substantial... Singles, that's why

gini sunday night at home.

"Errr, I forgot it's Sunday night!" Goddamn bum! The sky does not understand me the same. Rain cake. Let there be a single reason for my macem alone at home, like that's what I'm thinking right now.

*Hawaha.. Damn you

Is it there?:p

           •No, sir

Still waiting for answers

The encoded wonder is insensitive

*Love is playing the codes anyway mbak

A boy scout?

•wle, ! :p.

Cieee.. Syam.

Love-love only

Just about to reply, I saw him re-typing something

•it's coded lola anyway, though,

So yes it is.

Mostly..

Hoarded by books, his head.

Seeing his answer I smiled a little. Shit, why am I ge-er gini? Long time my fingers freeze. Silence carried away my feelings that floated in the air. Trying to jaim, I tried to respond rhetorically.

*Hahaha, who's talking?

I saw the words 'Diana Candra Dewi is typing..' On the chat screen. But the writing just popped up and disappeared. Like hesitating to press the send button. The reply I waited for was not welcome. Argha! I tried typing something to make sure he read my message.

"TING-TONG!"

I pared my intention quickly to type. Diana's reply was clearly more of a concern to me now. I sharpened my eyesight. My eyes rolled with the rhythm of my strengthening heart beat.

•that's what kind of open.

Who do you think you are?

Yes you are...

"Yes... Ye.... Lah's.... Yes, you are..." I repeat the word continuously as if I do not believe the writing listed there. Suddenly a strange laugh just slipped out of my mouth. Like something unbearable running through my chest. Whatisthis? L'm..

"TING-TONG!"

•I'm off first huh?

Called mamah..

Don't forget tomorrow, okay?

Remember, men can't be late!:p

"Tomorrow? Oh yea! Promise to Beaches!" I just realized that tomorrow is the day. I haven't prepared anything yet. Maybe I'll think about it later.

I said a short message. I smiled when I saw he still took a while to type before off.

"WOAMMS! Now what's up? Sleep period? Haha.."

I'm caught off guard myself realizing that I don't have any activities tonight this week. PR is all, play the game already, facebook already, what else dong now?

"Eat?"

I pulled out a chair and started to move from the room. As I passed through Euna's room I heard a noise. Not very clear, but I can hear. I looked at the door leaf full of suspicion and began to approach her. Gradually the whispering voice became clearer as I stuck my ear to the surface of the door.

"S-sa-ssi! What about mueos-eul wonhani?! kyaaa, babo! Maki!"

("S-Sa! What do you want?! kyaaa, fool! Stop!")

My eyes are wide open to hear it. That's a voice.. Euna!

"Hihi is calm first. I won't do anything, though. W-woh!"

"M-Mwo? Mwo mwo?"

("A-What? What what?")

"Well, I'm guessing you've got a really good Euna! I'm envious!"

"Anniiii!! Geogi issji anhayo! N - Na danghog seuleobo. Boji ma!"

("Ngkoo!! Jangaan there! I-I'm ashamed to know. Don't look!")

I'm sure that's the voice of Euna and Sarah. What are they doing? Why are there 'why-wrong' events, 'I'm ashamed', and 'do not see' everything?

All the absurd thoughts began to wander in my brain. This can't be allowed! I have to get in! But, I have to really make sure first what they do.

I stuck my body to the door body while pressing my auditory hole until it stuck there. My eyeballs were spinning, guessing what they were doing.

Suddenly their voices disappeared, even the noise that had previously bothered me suddenly disappeared.

How missing? I spoke without a sound. I tried to put my head there again, but nothing. Silent. It's like they're not in this room. I finally tried to knock on the door

"TOK-TOK-TOKS!"

"the euna? You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's take your friends to dinner." Saying later. I made it my reason for coming here as an alibi.

"the euna? Hey, you're with Brother?" Call me back. Because there is no law from inside. Soon the door was open. Just giving a slight gap to half his face that looked at me lazily.

"Mwo il-iya?"

("What's up?") Ketus. Patience, that's the key. I should have understood this attitude the most. Okay, let's try to be friendly.

"No.."

("You..")

"Na gwaenchanh."

("I'm fine.") Cut it off before I could ask anything.

"Aahaha, eung? Gamsahs"

("Ahahaha, is that it? Thank god")

I held back my frustration in a bland smile. My eyebrows may have been twitching so badly. It was so itchy to want to touch his forehead. But in the end I kept it in check and went back to my original intent.

"Not just want to tell you, if you laper invite your friend down. We'll have dinner together."

Euna just looked at me full of probes. Then he opened his room wide.

"We ate, really. Uhuh!"

Euna in front of me was clad in her slightly disheveled casual clothes. Her hair was also a bit tangled like it had just been 'heaven' by her close friend. Puberty girls are terrible!

But what makes me want to go back to my room is not that. But Euna's hand pointed at two empty plates complete with the glass. There was a black packet containing rice paper.

I guess they just finished eating fried rice bang somad which is sold near my house. The smell is still felt. I saw Sarah waving her hand at me. As if saying 'sorry Oppa' with a pityful smile that he was pointing at me.

Geurais..

(So yes.)

Yesangdaelo, Sseulmoga eobsoyo.

(I'm guessing, it's free.)

Without removing the smile from my face. I turned around trying to get out of there. My sister doesn't want to eat my cooking. It's fact. Why me? What's with this disappointment? What do I really want? It's obvious he's still mad at me. I also had to avoid it so that nothing happened between us. Anything on? Very amusing.

Indeed what will happen? All I did was act like a big brother in general. Nope. Act as a man of the face of the wall who ignores his own anxiety about his sister.

Trying to lose his ego to avoid his own sister by being friendly.

"Hey, Oppa."

("Hey, Brother.")

I peeked between my steps to get back to the room. I saw his eyes not daring to look at me when I looked.

"Can you please teach us something?"
