So this post is dedicated for the Lush Oppa. Thought that I would move on once I've stepped into my room. Lies. I keep having thoughts of him especially when I was unpacking and I saw the Lush product that I bought for Kida. Smells so much like Lush and it just stabbed my heart, deep cut seriously. I mean, move on, Qee. He's nothing.

So for you curious human beings. Very curious about that Lush guy now aren't we?

The first one to hear my rant of madness about this Lush guy is none other than Kida, the one yang kirim something from Lush. Thank you Kida, I wouldn't be experiencing this pain if it's not for you.
Then I told Ira, I literally rant about everything and anything I could think of. Thanks Ira. Then I told Hanis, the one I keep on updating about my life in Korea. Thanks you three are the mvp.

So basically, it started out as we were on the bus on our way to our restaurant in Itaewon when I found Lush by the street. So I told my mom I want to go there, and she said, yeah whatever you want kid. See, the excitement. I wonder where I got my snappy attitude from. So anyway, our tourist guide keep on insisting us to remember Itaewon Bomba as our meeting point. It's cute, I mean she's Korean and she tried to speak in Malay in cutest courtesy ever.

Walked with mom along the looooong almost never ending street of Itaewon because apparently mom wanted to buy cute socks. Thus, the long journey through ups and down hills to find a good shop that sells cute socks with cheap price. Anyway, that's not the whole point of my story right now.

I found Lush signboard like miles ahead of where I was, I almost gave up though. I mean, why am I going to walk that far for Kida? But, for you Kida, I did walk that far for Lush.

I got inside with this loopy loop heart. I was nervous and had butterflies in stomach.

I was wondering how to start conversation with the salesperson here. Do I need to say annyeonghaseyo? Or should I just say hi? I kept on fidgeting around the entrance when this beautiful creature came to me, gave me angelic smile, with that perfectly sculptured face. I know by then, damn this guy is a bae.

"Hey, how may I help you, miss?"

OMG! He speaks English so fluently?!? OMG? WHY? WHO? NUGU? OEDI? WAEYO? OTTOKE?

I was awestruck I mean. OMG! Good looking Korean dude can speak fluent English and another plus point is he smells good? omg? excuse me? I'm so happy? omg? I need help? Call 911? Emergency room? Mom? I want to marry him?

Yes, that much of emotion from one encounter with that one person. Damn it, Qee.

So, I told him I'm looking for a gift for my friend. None other than, Khaleeda Kharil. So he asked me what would my friend like. and I was like, 'what would Kida like? lip scrub? hand scrub? shampoo? bath bomb? what am i going to buy?' so, I just simply shrugged and I ask his recommendation. Then he took me to the hand scrub section. Which btw, smells soooooo gooooooood. He held one of the scrub and told me to try and smell it, it's his favourite as he told me. So basically it really do smell good, wow dude, you have great sense of smell. I like you.

Okay so here's the best part, the said I could try the scrub. At first I was like, what? try it? how?  and he literally took my right and and just simply apply the moisturizer and then took a scoop of hand scrub and apply it on my hand. such gentle touch. such delicate. such warm. I was literally hiding my hands in my varsity pocket because it was cold. But his touch is so warm? I'm so??? confused??? So anyway, I thought of taking his picture with my left hand when he ask for my left hand to try the other scrub. And I, Nurul Asyiqin, having no other thought I just held out my left hand to him and let him do whatever he wants? I'm so sinful? OMG.

Then my mom went inside and saw my precious moment with that Lush guy, and mom just smiled at me. I mean mom, did you just approved him? mom?

"you have soft hand"

i know bro, i heard that a lot but hearing that from you just made me almost weeping on the floor bro. control bro pls bro.

"are you from Malaysia? "yes, how'd you know?" "I heard you talking with your mom, sounds Malaysian enough for me." *cheeky smile*

Got some small chit chats with him while waiting for the scrub to harden, I just wished it never harden and just stays like that. But, it harden in like 5 minutes or so. He took me to the sink and rinse it of for me. I will repeat it again, such delicate touch. such warmth that he gave. such beautiful sight to witness.

but sadly, that's just how my love story ended. I told him I'll get the curly wurly shampoo and he took it, ask me if there's anything else. Which I replied with a short "no". Took the shampoo to the counter and pack it for me. And that's just it. Now I realized how much damage one sided love gives to a person. The pain of remembering. The pain of trying to forget.

But I just hope, one day, we'll see each other again. I like you a lot, Lush Guy.

Sincerely, the one wearing grey varsity and dark green shawl.

how have you been?
