If it's who I think it is remember that in Korea women get married FAST and YOUNG.......(eeek)
In general she may be hinting that you need to say 'I love you' in a more obvious, sappier ,painful,way?

How good is her English? Hopefully bad, as this isn't a good sign if she said what she meant to... 
edit: Her English can't be worse than mine.

Don't think so because:
A. Wasn't a suspicious tone of voice.
B. I didn't do anything bust-worthy (except have a cellphone whose ringer got turned off somehow and which has a korean interface that made it impossible to turn it back over a period in which she apparently called me several times).
C. If I did it is impossible for her to bust me if I did anything (due to me being 80 minutes by bus plus some on the subway from where she lives).

It is. Remember the other week when she asked us what half Korean/half white kids look like? That and her absolute faith in the rythm method scare Boshko slightly.

As if any of that matters!
You did something you shouldn't of or didn't do something that you should of. Just face the music and dance.

If you love her: start saving!
If you don't love her: start running!
If you're not sure: make up your mind. fast.
Also, don't take the advice of internet geeks. 
You really should try and educate her about that rhythm method nonsense, though. I assume you already know that though.

ALERT: I go back to Vancouver Oct 25 (Yes that's next saturday)
Bottom line: Not only are they psycho, the school is falling apart financially and physically they probably won't pay up, the school could fold at any time (everyones salary has been 'late' not just mine).
Luckily I'm still making some money from private lessons.
I had been trying to share a room in a very sweet appartment shared by other sun-sang neem, but they rented it.
I could go to another school but I'm kinda burnt out for now, I'm going to go back for a few months, I may hit Korea or another country or go back to school or whatever.
POSSIBLE MEET TIMES: 9:45 tommorrow (probably late+ short notice), anytime sunday, or next Friday also 9:45PM, I teach a lesson 8:00 to 9:00 near Garak Market (40 mins from Itaewon).
Let's pick a REALLY REALLY obvious place to meet because I'm stupid. Outback, UN bar or somewhere. Reggae Pub is good too.

One month... yikes 
I have to say this: if the woman really is fishing for an "I love you" from you by saying "You have something to tell me" that would piss *me* off. I'm not you, so whatever. FP's point about advice from internet geeks stands. But for goodness sakes, whatever you do, don't ever

Saturday's possible since we're getting indonesian food for dinner (sweet sweet indonesian food) and should be in the general area afterwards. My last bus home (barring crashing on ondol) is at 8:10 PM on Sunday from gangbyeon, any good idea of stuff too do on a sunday afternoon, still don't know Seoul too well?

Ya. And one of the things I like most about her is that she's NEVER played any games with me.

And she is also rather a bit of a HOTTTIE I must say....
And fun loving...
And nice personality...
Can't go wrong!
She sure loves dancing I wasn't watching last time did you guys have fun?
Or is dancing (or my weaving and staggering equivalent)something you want to cross off your 'to do' list?

Yep. Sounds like this is the case. She's giving you a chance to tell her how much you love her, and then to tell you how much she loves you.
People who are passive aggressive operate in this fashion, it's an easy way to ask someone, do you love me, without having to ask, do you love me?

I think she sensed you had something on your mind that's bothering you. So speak up even if you thought you didn't want to burden her.

Cass is good too. I also developed a strange taste for soju which is odd because the stuff tastes so bad.

Exactly, couldn't have said it bettr myself I think my job would've driven me insane by now if it wasn't for her. That's why I'm trying to figure out what's up, I want this to work.

And I'm not going to wax poetic over a crappy cellphone connection with some post-laryngitic croaking and long-week-at-work brain deadness adding to the fun. I do have my limits, and our first date was just a month ago for god's sake.
