I used to just
by myself, until I
found myself an Oba (Korean for 'big brother', sometimes used on
boyfriends).
Oba was in Primary 5
when I was in Primary 2, very street-wise, very 'powerful'. He was
the informal leader on the school bus!
He had
many many followers, ie. younger kiddos, who would all look up to
him. 
I was awed by my Oba and followed him around on the schoolbus and
after school, like a doggy.
Somehow, sitting as
near to my Oba as possible every bus trip, the other boys would
leave me alone and stop tugging on my ponytail! 
Siiiigh... if got Oba today, how nice!
