CHAPTER FIVE – Where Is She?
820 Words
I let out a deep sigh as I drop my self on my bed. Alone again. When was the last time I had someone here? This condo is absolutely beautiful with two large bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood, and ceramic tile, Fireplace, Granite Countertops and Central AC. But, it's really quite lonely to be in a room where you got everything you need, except for company.
Going back to the reason why I came back, I reach for my phone in my pocket and called the person I know could help me. I need to start my plan now. I scrolled for his name- Kim Ji Won- also an actor, and one of my close friends in showbiz.
Five rings. I almost gave up, then finally an answer. "Y-ye...?" His very weak voice came. He's still sleeping maybe. Shooting for a daily sitcom could really end up at the wee hours of the night... or should I say, day?
"Hey, bro! What's up? I'm sure not you." I chuckled at the thought of him trying to be sober but failing. When friends say that you can call them anytime, I take them literally. I love how it annoys them.
"You already know it, but you still called. What do you want?" I hear scrambling of sheets on the background. Even though I disturbed his slumber, he's really trying to wake up.
I really love this guy! He's one of the few people, who I can really count on, all the time.
"Dude, I need your help." I started sitting up on my bed.
"You just came back and you're already asking me for a favor? Well, you always need one... So, what is it this time?" He really knows me. We've been friends since we were just starting with auditions, workshops, and all. Though, he's quite ahead of me at some point, career-wise.
"Well, since you have more connections than I do, I need you to find someone for me." I started. 'Of course, I don't really mean you. Have someone look for her. I need to know where she is."
"Her? She? You're looking for a girl? I never thought that Lee Yun Ho of all people would bother looking for a girl." Amusement can be heard clearly from his now awake voice. "And where on earth will I find her?" Now he's the one annoying me. Getting even, aye?
Not meaning to sound boastful, I know I'm not bad looking. I won't be an actor if I do, right? I'm pretty tall, six feet in height. My skin is quite fair, and my hair could pass that of Justin Beiber's, but black in color. I didn't copy him, okay? I'm older than him, so I'm original. I've been working out too, so I can say that my body now is somehow worthy of being shirtless.
What I'm trying to say is, I know I can get any girl I want. I don't really need to put much effort. I don't know why, but this one's different. She IS different.
"Yes, I'm looking for a girl. I don't know where she is. But I met her in Incheon before I went to Japan." I'm really hesitant that I would find her, but I have to take my chances. I dug on my bag's pocket to get something. "I have a name and a number; maybe you can use them to track her." I gave him the details. "And Ji Won, she's not Korean, okay?"
"Alright. I'll see what I can do with the little information you gave me. I'll get back to you as soon as I have some news, okay? Now, leave me in peace. Goodbye!" He hung up immediately not even letting me respond.
It's okay, he's not really mad. We're just like that to each other. I looked at the piece of paper. All this time, I still kept the yellow post-it she gave me. The only memory I have of her, and the night we shared together.
I can still remember her angelic voice when she asked me what's wrong. I can't forget her eyes glowing with so much care. Even the touch of her hair so soft, I can still feel my fingers running through it. And her lips so soft, I think they left a mark on mine.
Everything about her, and the way our bodies move as we became one, I can't help but reminisce. But, there's something more in her that makes me want to see her again. I just can't specify what. God, I even claimed her! I was her first!
Gabriela Mitchell. I like her name. I really want to talk to you.
I don't know what's happening with me. Why am I doing these things just to find a girl? What is she to me?
Hopefully, Ji Won would make a miracle and help me answer these questions.
