"I see."
"I've heard that joke too many times."
"Oh.." He finally realised what he said and judging by the slapping sound, he covered his mouth with his hand. "I'm sorry, it wasn't intended."
"Whatever." Maybe he didn't really mean it as a joke, but I was seriously sick of it. Without any word, I started walking away, not sure where. I heard footsteps getting close to me really fast.
"Sure you don't wanna help? I don't think there's any class at the parking lot."
I let out a loud sigh. He was right. I was lost and needed a help but I was too proud to admit it. Is he even trying to help me? Perhaps he's one of those thugs who lead me the wrong way but there's not much time left for me to find out since I'm probably running late for my class.
"I'm trying to find the media building."
"What a coincidence! That's where I'm headed too. There's just one tiny little problem. I'm new here so I have no idea where that is."
"How do you intend to help me then?"
"You know, maybe if we used your knowledge and my sight.."
He was too cheerful and his voice was annoying. I was hoping he would shut up but he was my only hope.
I started searching for a paper in my bag and when I finally found what I was looking for (hopefully), I handed it to him.
"Well, that's helpful."
I asked our secretary to print a map for me for cases like this one. It was no use any other time and I never thought I would actually need it.
"Do I like, .. need to hold your hand or something?"
"Just tell me where to go."
"Okay." He actually sounded disappointed but I didn't really care. I was used to this kind of attitude from other people.
"So what's your name." He asked between giving me directions and from time pushing me away from holes or any other stuff in my way. After I didn't respond for a while, not because I didn't hear him or didn't understand, I just didn't want to, he spoke again.
"I'm Jackson. I swear I'm not creepy or anything. You can trust me."
"I think blind people have a problem with trust."
"If I wasn't trustworthy, I would probably already pushed you into the first hole we walked past."
"Why didn't you?"
"I'm not that kind of person."
"My name's Misun."
