Four - Densha no Otoko (Train Man)

What will you do when you suddenly woke up and found out that the one sitting beside you on the train looked like your all-time favorite Korean actor Lee Min Ho? And there was no time left to enjoy his company because he was about to get off? Yes, that's what I did. Ran for the door, too. Just in the nick of time. (The door was about to close. In fact, it only reopened to let me off safely.)


He walked so fast that I could barely keep up with him. Before I knew it, I lost him in the crowd. I was so angry at myself. I shouldn't have slept. Oh, well! Enough of carpe diem.


I went back to the platform and waited for another train to take me to Kyoto where I work. It was ten past seven in the morning. I started to get worried. If I couldn't make it to Kyoto by 7:20 then I'll miss the 7:25 bus that will take me to work. I was only a station away and it barely takes five minutes but sometime trains are late.


As if it has heard me, the monitor flashed the late arrival of the next train by five minutes! I sighed. Well, I just have to brace myself for a reprimand from Kocho-sensei.


It felt like a déjà vu. Only that Tori and Mader were not there with me. How many times was I late for my classes in the university because of Pharaoh? Back in the dorm, waiting for Pharaoh to pass by the front door had become a morning habit. The three of us would hang out by the staff's office which was beside the front door, pretending to practice our Japanese with the guards just so we can have a closer look at Pharaoh. Yeah, how pathetic. But it was fun.
