Dear Diary,
Today, I had a blind date.
My co-worker Brad, who is a nice guy, arranged a date, saying that the
man would be perfect for me: sensitive and careful. Well, believing what Brad
said, I went to the Caffe Dene for date.
On the way to café, I got
to watch TV news about those who sell human flesh. According to that, in
Bundang, where I live, there are several people who sell human flesh. It is
said that about 2 stores were caught for that, there may be more stores selling
human flesh secretly. I was shocked, but I wasn’t that concerned about
the fact: I’m not related to it.
The man was fairly
handsome. However, he seemed very nervous and pale for the whole date. It was uncomfortable,
but well, it might have been the first date for him, I thought.
We went to Caffe Dene, had
a cup of coffee, talked about everyday life stuffs. His name is Alex. He also
lives in Bundang and he likes to hike, go fishing. I wanted to ask him about
his job, but I decided to wait until he says about his job.
Suddenly, a phone rang-it
was his. He asked, “May I?” in a pale, shivering voice. I, of course, had to
agree.
“Hello?”, he answered-no,
almost whispered-the phone.
“Oh yes, yes. Why?”
“Really? Umm…..that’s a
pity. I wanted the thing to be fresh and alive.”
Suddenly, I remembered the news
that I saw today. Linking that news with this handsome (but pale...) guy seems
nonsense, but I couldn’t stop doing that. Thinking that hearing only one side
is okay, I kept overhearing the phone conversation of Alex.
“Then, when can you bring
that fresh meat?”
………..Meat? No, it would be a
normal meat like pig or cow. Not a human flesh, I wished.
“Okay. You can bring the
meat in next week. But remember, it’s not just a meat. It’s not like a normal
meat like a pork or beef.”
“Oh! And what are you going
to do with the bones? It’s hard to separate the bones and the flesh.”
Is the meat human flesh? Or
something else? I couldn’t think of anything other than human flesh. The image
of Alex separating the bones from the corpse was vivid enough for me to be
absent-minded. I felt dizzy.
“If you’re busy, I should
do it. You’d better learn how to do it.”
I had to get out of this
date. What should I do? Just scream and run away?
“Okay, I’ll see you
tomorrow!”
What should I do? What do I have
to do?
Alex hung up the phone, turning
back to me.
“Sorry, it was just from my workplace.
So….what was I saying?”
I, with a reddened face, said,
“Ha...ha....Umm....I….I have to go to the bathroom.”
“O...kay. Why not?"
“Bye!”
Right after saying that, I almost
ran away, getting out of the coffee shop as soon as possible. Will I call him
later? Of course not! I should be thankful to my instinct to notice a
prospective killer.

Today, I met the strangest woman I
saw in my life. As it was a blind date, it is reasonable to be the worst date. I
had a major cold today first of all. But more importantly, the woman, named Jen, was not
that attractive: full of wrinkles in her face and a mousy attitude. I
didn’t like her much, but thinking of the effort my friend Brad put on
arranging this date, I tried to be nice to her. The only excusable act that I
did was doing a phone call in front of her. But, it was quite short I think.
Only 4 minutes? Besides, I tried to whisper. Anyway, it was a
call from my clumsy assistant. He was supposed to order the fishes for sushi,
but due to his laziness, he failed to order it on time. It was a major
mistake, but as I had the woman in the front, I had to be gentle. After hanging
up the phone call, however, the woman just ran away from me. Going to the bathroom? Huh, I could have done better than that.
Why? Why did she do that? I don’t know. But I actually felt kind of relieved about her leaving me.

One thing for sure: I should never
do blind date.
