the atmosphere became comfortable as jihoon started to strum his guitar as he pouts. callie notices this as he was focusing with the notes as he tries to remember what to sing. the song he was strumming was all to familiar and she can't help but to look up on the camera as he was actually staring at her.

then there it is, she can't help but not to look away as the sound starts to fill up the quiet room with soft strums. callie started to sway along the sound as jihoon mirrors her expressions.

"your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me,
but bear this in mind, it was meant to be
and i'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
and it all makes sense to me"

he started to chuckle as callie realized that she was singing along with him. callie puts down the brush she was holding as she rests her chin by her open palm staring at him in awe. he looks back at her as she have noticed too that he's really great with strumming and have probably memorized the notes of it as he never left his gaze on her.

"i won't let this little things," he sings softly, "slip out of my mouth, but if i do," he releases each lyrics as if he have been giving some meaning to it since then, "it's you, oh it's you, they add up to.." he stops midway as he just strummed softly looking at her eyes still— making her cheeks flush in red.

with the last soft strums he sings, "i'm in love with you, and all these," he smiles, "little things." as he releases the lyrics he continued to strum the guitar as he sways side by side looking through callie's eyes finding the right time to say it.

callie smiles and goes back to what she was doing as she hears soft humming from jihoon himself.

"callie," he calls out from the call making callie jolt up with her wide eyes as jihoon smiles— his eyes disappeared forming crescents as if the moon was in front of her, "it may be awkward as it is but i can't help it anymore pero ano it's okay if—" he stops strumming resting his chin on his guitar as he taps on the table in front of him, "is it okay if i return your feelings?" he mumbles making callie stop what she was doing.

she leans closer not believing what he was blurting out, "ano kasi— i— i've been thinking about this for the past weeks and i've— i've been really in denial about it but tama nga sila junnie, sila nyong," finally, jihoon looks back at her gaze to see her reaction, "na baka bulag lang talaga huling makakakita but i—" he sighs gathering up all his courage,

"i like you," he says softly making callie feeling her cheeks flush more with a tint of red.

suddenly, she felt hot inside her room despire the air condition making her look around if there is water available, "well you— you don't need to answer right away kahit may..." he stops, gulping, "feelings ka pa rin," he says breathlessly.

"i know it sounds stupid confessing through facetime well supposedly sa text sana well—" he rambles as callie forgot how hot she feels right now that she can't help but smile at the boy in front of her, "i slipped with it kanina? i lowkey confessed pero kasi ang awkward—"

"jihoon." callie finally calls out cutting jihoon off as he stops with his words, "i honestly," she sighs as she plays with the ballpen she found in front of her, "don't believe you're returning the feelings i have for you kasi to be honest kahit labeling you as my happy crush was already enough for me," she mumbles her words as jihoon leans closer listening to her word by word as much as he can.

"and ayun, bonus na naging ka-close kita? well naging close naman na tayo and that was already okay but this... i feel really overwhelmed and i'd be lying if i say hindi ako masaya but right now i really am..." she says in one breath making jihoon laugh at the other line.

she purses her lips thinking of other things to say but jihoon beats her to it, "kaya i was asking if i kept leading you on, if i do gusto ko lang sabihin na wag ka mag-alala because i'll be here," he smiles looking down shyly, "sa totoo lang hindi ko rin inexpect kasi knowing you, you've liked me for how many years while ako months lang and it is making me feel not enough if i was okay as— ano— if ever future partner." he mumbles the last part making callie smile but with a pout.

"and yung kanina, sabi ko maganda ka ayun," he adds looking away from her gaze making her chuckle.

"alam ko, narinig ko." she replies as she noticed jihoon's ears started to show a tint of red.

jihoon finally looks at her again, "so ano, uhm," he plays with the strums as he softly sways again. callie on the other hand rests her chin again on her open palm looking at jihoon with a soft endearing smile, "i don't want to ask if i can court you here sa face time so," he smiles.

"is my offer for that study date this weekend still have a chance, miss callie?" he asks making callie giggle as she nods,

"jihoon," she calls again making jihoon look at her with a glowing smile, she mirrors him, "thank you." she says in her small voice making his head shake.

"if you think i am returning your feelings just because i'm obligated to do so dahil gusto mo ako ng apat na taon, please don't, okay?" he says, "i chose to like you, not because i was obligated to, because i wanted to." he smiles at her making her pout.

a silence was formed for a minute until he speaks again, "antok ka na ba?" he asks as she realizes about her unfinished plate in front of her. she shakes her head looking back to her task, "tatapusin ko lang. ikaw sleep ka na if pagod ka na, i really wanted to finish this." she mutters as she started to paint on her canvas again.

"no na, you do your own thing. hintayin kita." he replies. callie playfully glare at him, "jihoon, inaabala kita." she says making jihoon laugh.

"kulit mo, hindi nga sabi." he says, "kotongan kita diyan eh." he adds making callie laugh this time.

"i'll wait for you until you finish. hmm? sige na tapusin mo na 'yan, and i know you'll pass this." he says looking at her endearingly.
