White Day...
I have a stalker.
Okay, maybe not a stalker.
But, this kid loves me.
He's my secret admirer, minus the "secret."
Alright, I may be overstating all of this.
To be honest, I'm basing all of this on two meetings with the kid.
Yesterday was White Day.
White day is basically Valentines Day, without all of the red.
Also, it's a day where guys gives candy to the girls.
Well, Monday-Wednesday, I sit up in the school's library during lunch and chew the fat with anybody who wants to practice their English with me.
Towards the end of the lunch hour, this little boy (a 1st year) comes up to me and just kinda stands there.
He doesn't say anything, but he just hangs around, staring at me.
I try talking to him, but it's obvious he has no clue what the heck I'm talking about.
I can say, "And he asked us, 'are ye angels?' and we said, 'nay, we are but men.' rock!" and he would just keep on staring.
So, I start talking to a group of girls and they give me a bunch of lollipops (it's White Day, remember), all the while that kid keeps staring.
After 15 minutes, the bell rings and all of us leave.
Now, today, I'm back in the library and the kid comes back.
This time, he shuffles around a bit, asks me (in Korean) if I can speak Korean, but I stare at him blankly.
The next thing you know, he pulls out a lollipop and gives it to me!
I'm like, "thank you so much!!!"
Then, 10 seconds later, he pulls out a heart-shaped Ferrero Rocher box, full of random candies (none of which are ferrero rochers), with a red piece of paper folded into the shape of a AIDS ribbon taped to the box.
So, I say, "Wow, that's so nice of you! thank you soooo much!"
Then, he reaches back into this Mary Poppins-like pocket and pulls out more candy and gives it to me!!!
He hangs out for the rest of the lunch hour and when it's time for me to leave, I hear little feet scuffling behind me.
I knew it must be the little boy, but I didn't want to turn around.
When I reach the teachers' office, 3 floors down from the library, I turn around and the kid is behind me, kinda smiling.
I walk into the office and to my desk and all the while, the kid is watching me from the doorway through the 1 inch crack of the door.
Now, tell me, is or is this kid not a stalker? (is that even proper english)?
I think he's bordering on stalker-status.
Actually, I'm trying to make myself feel special!!! hahahaha.
I mean, stalkers are creepy and scary, but don't all of us secretly kinda want one?
muahhahahahahahaha.
UPDATE: my little stalker just gave me more candy. puhhahaha. he gave one piece of a lemon-flavored mento. it was kinda salty... he must have been holding it in his sweaty little palms. kinda gross. kinda really gross. then, he stood around my desk for a while. once he left, i got up to deliver something to the other teachers' office, and when i look over at the doorway, i find this kid looking at me through a 1 inch crack in the doorway again!!! hahahaha. this kid is seriously crazy! crazy about me! when i caught him, he got all scared and shut the door!!!puahahahaha. man, i'm so full of myself for writing about this, huh? he's so cute though!
UPDATE: i finally know why that kid is stalking me. he's "special." i don't think he's retarded, but i think he has some learning diabilites, perhaps. i wonder what koreans consider "special." cuz, there are some kids (like this little kid) who seem 100% normal, but are labelled as special. kinda strange. so now i have solved this 3 day old mystery. and now, i don't have to feel kinda awkward whenever he hangs around me.
