"I'm sorry but I need to go. It was nice meeting you though." I said hurriedly and started running away from him.

Why did I run? It wasn't an emergency. I just had to go to the hospital. There's really no need to run. So I stopped.

I heard someone calling in my direction.

"Hey! Wait up!" He catched up to me.

"For someone who has short legs, you do run fast." He said to me jokingly and there goes that puppy smile again.

I am not that short, I'm 5'3. Also, I'm no athlete but I can run fast if I have to.

I laughed at him.

"Where are you going? It's past 10 pm and you look like someone who does not live here." He sounded concerned.

"I have to meet my friends at the hospital but it's okay because I have my phone!" See! I waved it at him. Boy, he was tall, 5'9 to be exact. The second tallest person I know besides Judy, who is 5'8. I had to fully raise my arm and move my head higher than usual.

He grabbed my phone and said, "Your phone needs to be charged, see the sign?" He waved it at me and I saw the screen with the low battery sign on it.

"Shit! I forgot to bring my powerback and I barely know Korean and my directions! Don't even get me started with that. I looked at him with distraught.

This was actually the first time I looked at him coherently. I was kinda loopy inside the bar when I met him and I was so occupied with the call outside the bar that I never really had the time to really look at him.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? He said surprised.

"You look familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere but i just can't point it out."

He grew silent and fidgety.

"I know that we just met. You might be a criminal, who knows? I laughed nervously then I continued saying, "This is a lot to ask but I need your help. You are the only Korean I know who speaks English and frankly, you don't look like the type of person who kidnaps women, right? I really need your help!" I said with mixed emotions.

He laughed hysterically when he heard me say criminal and kidnap.

"How do I know that you're not a criminal as well? Huh! You can be a syndicate for all I care!" He said jokingly.

"Yah!" I raised my tone but he still kept laughing.

"Please, I really need to get to my friends." I lowered my tone and became serious.

"Ok ok! I'll stop laughing now. Tell me the address and I can help you get a cab."

"Shit! I said loudly, I did not memorize the address.

"I did not memorize the address." I said, avoiding his eye contact.

"How about the place you are staying? I don't have my powerbank with me as well."

"I did not memorize that address either." I said quietly and still avoided his eye contact.

"Now, you really sound like a criminal to me. You almost tricked me. I'm going now." He said suspiciously.

He starts leaving me. I am astonished. I did not expect our conversation to go in that direction. He is such a weird guy! "What am I going to do?" I said to myself. So I just stood there in awe of my depressing but at the same time, kinda funny situation.
