Yellow Pickled Radish

I saw him at the corner of their ramyun shop slicing the yellow colored picked radishes. By the look of it, hes not used to what he’s doing. But in that corner you can see that he’s satisfied, he’s happy. People flocked the shop not just because of the ramyuns one of a kind taste but because of the handsome staff as well. As I stared at him, I know by heart that he’s he most handsome amongst all of them all. Everyone I guess figured that out as well since almost everyone patiently lined up to get their serving of the sweet tasting pickled radish and to get a glimpse of him as well.

The store is crowded but I made my way through and sat n the empty seat right across where I can see him.  I got my self one chicken ramyun and as I sat there patiently waiting for my order, I stared at him. My heart fluttered just by staring at him. That day he’s wearing that powdered blue shirt that complemented his hazel brown eyes. His faced has turned pinkish red from blushing as the girls lined up to get their serving of the radish. He looks at them, smile and sometimes wink as he hands them their radishes. And I thought, hmmm… what a player. But no, he’s just trying to be nice. I didn’t know how long I have been staring that him and then just like that, his eyes caught mine. My dreamy eyes caught his dazzling gaze. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at those sparkling eyes and that wide smile. I looked away as the sexy waitress handed my my ramyun. I was getting my first sip of the ramyun soup when I tried to get a glimpse of him but he wasn't there. I tried to scan the shop but he’s nowhere to be found. I looked down at my ramyun and decided to just eat it all up and leave. Then I saw a hand handing me a serving of the pickled radish and a deep voice saying, “...this is best paired with your ramyun” I looked up and there he was. My yellow pickled raddish guy right in front of my eyes, I can smell him! I can’t believe my eyes. My heart was racing that I didn’t know what to say. I was there, looking up at him smiling blankly staring at his sparkling eyes. When all of a sudden I heard a familiar song. He tried to say something but the background song was too loud that I can’t hear him. It’s becoming louder and louder and the surrounding was getting darker and darker that I can no longer see him. And just like that… I woke up!

Damn it was just a dream! Damn this alarm clock! Damn it! Guess who my pickled radish guy? Ha! Guess it right… Jung Il Woo! My ultimate Korean idol. And thanks to his lovely face and Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, I had my moments with him even if it was just in my dreams.
