    When she said the words, “He’s one of those guys that I just can’t figure out all the way,” then I knew for sure I’d be overshadowed by this guy. I wasn’t too disappointed, as my chances with Jane were slim anyways, and when we met up with Julian at the beach, he turned out to be a nice and charming guy who didn’t suck up all the attention from the girls. He turned a lot of the conversation onto me, asking why I chose Korea and how I was liking my experience there, as we walked the length of the Sand Art Festival to see the fantastic sculptures that the teams had spent hours crafting. I could see why Jane liked him. Not only was he genuinely nice and charming, but he had the body of a soccer player, standing over six feet tall, with olive skin and just a hint of a Spanish accent. He looked to be in his early 30s, and from his talk of visiting Korea and Argentina on various business trips, he probably held a pretty high profile job too. So my hopes of getting anywhere with Jane were dampened, at least until Julian took off to go back to Spain, whenever that would be. But we still had a lively time as a group of four at a late bar-b-cue place, complete with a couple hours of drinking soju and letting our conversation turn more spontaneous, a bit delirious, but mostly fun. We sat on an outdoor deck with a view of the beach and a well-lit sky, a scene that made it easy for the hours to slip by. When I looked at my phone, I realized it was already midnight, and we had yet to ...
    figure out where we were staying for the night, at least that’s what I thought. “Where are we sleeping tonight, anyways?” I asked. “We’re going to the Lotus Jimjilbang,” Jane said. “The what?” I asked. “What’s a jimjilbang?” She smirked slightly. “Didn’t I tell you about this? It’s where you go and have yourself a nice, public shower, complete with other strange naked men all around you. And then hang out in the sauna for a while, maybe scrub each other’s backs, then sleep on mats in the lounge room.” “So it’s one, big massive shower room. Boys and girls are separate?” “Of course boys’ and girls’ showers are on separate floors. But everyone sleeps on the same floor. And it’s super cheap to stay there. Besides, all the hostels are booked for this sand festival.” “So, Julian and I will…” I looked at him, trying not to appear nervous. “What?” He shouted sarcastically. “You don’t want to shower right next to me?” Jane laughed. “You don’t have to shower right next to each other. There’s plenty of space in there—and lots of hot tubs too. It’s a nice place to relax in. Trust me, after a long day of sweating and eating all this grub, you’ll like it.” “Well we better go now, shouldn’t we?” I asked. “Isn’t it going to close soon?” “No, they’re open all night. It might be pretty full, but they’ll have room for us somewhere. They always do.” Julian patted my back. “So relax, man. We’re still having a fun night out. And if you’re nervous about your first time in a jimjilbang, have enough ...
