copied and pasted to my brother

Fear is starting to set in. Listen closely if you're curious as to why I'm yelling.

•••••5 hours ago•••••

"Hello? The answer is yes! What? Right now, I have complete free time! Don't think you can make it? That's just right! No, seriously, that's horrible! I am starting to cry." I spoke on the phone while I celebrated.

True or false? My uncle has expressed an interest in playing golf with me. And now I know that his own back has failed him, so I can go out and buy some grocery. You do understand that I have no intention of starving to death, do you not? Now when I'm so pale, I'm still handsome.

As usual, I must be among the world's most gorgeous men, right? In a word, yes!

A quick grab of my shopping bag and I'm out the door. I am now en route to the closest supermarket.

In search of bargains, I wheeled a shopping cart into the store. As I make my way towards the Toothpaste area, quietly doing food shopping suddenly I spot someone.... Kim... KIM?! Oh no! It's...my crush from junior high! Sh*t! She's already gotten married. It breaks my heart to see... There will be tears shed here. Oh no! I can feel her approaching me. In a mad dash, I enter the restricted areas marked "staff only." Off! Relief!

When I went to check on her, she was already gone. Nice Now I have an exit strategy!

I push the door, but it won't budge. Don't move yet.... push again.... AHHHH!

I am locked!

•••••Present time•••••

Ahhhh! I'm going to have a terrible end in a supermarket! I have not even married yet! In what direction should I go? Is it necessary for me to turn to force? But I am not hulk! My brother told me I needed to start working out, but I put it off.

I really hope I don't have to die bankrupt. Whyyyy?

...

There is no way out. Six hours have passed.... I'm dying of hunger and then KABOOM!

"Ahhhh!" I collapse to the floor again.

"People, please don't try to hide here for an afternoon. ". A man says as he pushes a shopping cart inside.

"Thank you! Many thanks!" In spite of the heat, I rise and run outdoors to express my gratitude. Where did I put my shopping cart? I look back and realize the guy is taking my trolley!

"Ahhh! Yes, please! Excuse me, Mr." I yell and make a run for the door.

...

What a great day! Worryingly high levels of tension can be experienced while grocery shopping these days. That's why I'm here at the pub, to relax. Keeping from getting intoxicated! I need some time to unwind!

I went into the bar of the restaurant across the park from where I live.

Well, well not many people around the bar. In the midst of me making my way to the bar. A familiar voice is heard.

Yes....I do remember that now. Laughing.

As I look around, I notice a man in a suit and a woman in a black coat seated on a stool by the bar.

I arch my brow, huh?

The woman turns to look at the gentleman properly and I catch a glimpse of her face...

"..."

Exclamation: "Rae Jin!?" I yell out, then immediately bite my lips together. She turns and faces the guy again.

OMG! She drinks?! Excuse me, but she's going out with a guy? What?! What is she wearing? She's dressed all black, she still manages to look so rad, ahh. THEY ARE DATING! NO! For some reason, males have always irritated her. But they're giggling right now.

Trying to keep my composure, I move to the side of the room opposite her. I purchase a beer while staring at her from afar.

"Wow, you're gorgeous..." This is what he (the man) says.

Upping my hood over my head, I lowered my gaze in dismay. He had muscles.... wait...I can see his abs! My eyes can sense it.... We last spoke three days ago, and now.... we meet, Rae jin....

They are these two!

Yes, I'll wait till he goes then I'll....talk. Yes. Okay!

...

It was an hour of conversation at least! Yes, at long last he has left us! Off!

After a few moments of conversation, she reaches for her drink, revealing that it has remained untouched.

It's time for you to ask some questions, so go to her, tell her... no, and buy her a drink as thanks. Yes!

I cautiously made my way toward her....

A tap on the shoulder from me. When she reflects on what just happened, her mouth hangs open.

''For what purpose are you...here? She asked while frowning.

The question, "Hi, how are you?" The question comes as I sit down next to her and investigate more.

''Please don't tell me you planned on getting drunk again.'' With the same grimace, she inquired.

"No! Of course not! It just so happens that I am in this area at this same moment."

Right," she mulls over as she takes another sip.

"So... can I buy you another drink for rescuing me with your incredible karate!" I praise her.

"Taekwondo." She made a remark of clarification.

With a resounding "Yes, yes!"

"Sorry but I had enough alcohol for today...."

"Wait! How about water? Nonsense! Juice! Juice?!" I ask while panicking.

Okay," she says as she adjusts her position in the chair.

"So....who was it?"

"Sorry?"

"That guy with the silver chain and the red tie," she confirmed.

''You saw that much detail? Wait, you weren't watching us, were you?

"WHAT?! Of course not! ...and yep, I watched him depart."

"Right."

That man over there was my boss." She answered.

"BOSS? Your boss...are you.... I mean do you like him?" I inquire while sipping on my juice that I ordered earlier.

"What?"

"Yes."

As for him, "Umm....fine," She took another gulp, seemingly bewildered.

"Alright, alright, fine. He had no problems at all." I scratch my ear as I talk.

She asked, "Wait....why are you so wound up?" She seemed troubled as she inquired.

"What? No... just saying...I mean...if he flirts with you, you phone me, okay?"

"What? And where exactly is this leading?"

"Sorry uh..."

"I... I will do but.... he definitely has more muscle than you are though." She smiled with a wicked grin.

"What? NO WAY! What can I say? I am the hulk! Superior in strength, good looks, and so humorous!" I insist.

She makes a giggling sound.

''Are you sure?''

''Sure thing'' I snap my fingers in rage.

"Alright but I can protect myself." She says with a smile.

As in, "No, no... you might need some assistance with the fists." I must object.

"Black Belt, Taekwondo." Her grin broadens as she says it.

My jaw is dropped but at the same time I stare at her face with the smirk on.

"What? The hulk disappeared, and nobody knows where it is." To put it simply, she laughs.

"Oh, he went on a camping trip. May I just drop you?" I answer while getting up.

"Won't you finish your juice?"

"It's disgusting anyways...." I itch my nose.

"Hahaha." She wakes up laughing.''

''So....my car?" With a sly grin on my face, I inquire as I take the lead.

"Yes..." She returns a smile and steps in front of me.

Oh ma'am, I don't know what I'm saying.
