What He Brought…

About a half an hour after the first phone conversation, the phone rang again.

Hello?

“Yob-sayo.”

Oh, yob-sayo.

“It’s Young. I’m very sorry.”

Sorry? Why?

“Your house. Lost. ”

No. My house is not lost. Maybe you are. Where are you?

“Jisan church. ”

In your car or walking?

“Walking.”

Stay right there. Don’t move. I’ll be there in 2 minutes.

I threw on a coat and shoes and went around the corner to Jisan church. There was Young, wandering around.

Annong ha-sayo!

“Hello, Rori!”

Where’s the movie?

“What movie?”

I thought you would bring a video?

“You no have at house?”

No, I told you that.

“No, you said no drink. Food, yes. Drink, no.”

No, I said bring a movie. Not drink. Never mind. Let’s go to the video store.

We began walking to the video store. After a moment, Young turned to me. In perfect English, he said, “I think communication is our biggest problem.”

Really????? You don’t say…
