I don't disagree that last move may be aji-keshi (lean towards agreeing with you, unless MinjaeKim seem a clear route to attack that we are missing). However, not entirely sure whether losing the hane is a big deal (after the hane white still needs another move to remove the side eye). If black responds at D9 to white's last move, white still has "a" or "b" in reserve:
... I think I got enough from the right side. Now it's time for battle!
Did you consider any other moves to begin the attack? How did you choose this one?
Other moves? Yeah, but none was satisfactory as my actual move. Does black have a good response here? I don't think so since black doesn't have the chance to strengthen the C7 weakness. I think I almost got the lead in this game.

It's painful to lose a stone, but I think it's good for me to move into the center. As long as I live, and don't let him get center presence, maybe it's OK for me?

I dunno what's best, though. Get walled in here? Break out by pushing from behind? I really don't know.
"Pushing from behind" is a proverb, and it's something you're not supposed to do... But I also don't want to get surrounded that much... So I don't know what's best here.
I'll push from behind a little, and then think about connecting my stone?
