107 is calling....

“why are you crying?” yun kaagad ang tanong ni taehyung nang sagutin ng babae ang tawag niya. he could hear her soft sobs, while heavy metal music is playing on the background. trying hard to make her cries inaudible.
magsasalita na sana si jennie pero napahikbi na lamang siya. “jennie? why are you crying?” he asked, again.
narinig niya na humina na ang background music. maya maya pa ay narinig niya ang bungtong hininga ni jennie.
“hello! bakit gising ka pa? hindi ka na naman ba makatulog? do you want me to drop you some tea and scented candles? that will help you sleep!” she told him, na parang walang pinagdadaanan. napailing na lamang si taehyung, she's so good at pretending.
“answer me, why are you crying? who made you cry?” he breathes out, leaning on the headboard of his bed — eyebrows knitted while his other hand ruffles yeontan's fur.
he could only hear the rustle of fabric over the phone, “k-kim taehyung....” her voice broke as she cry loudly after saying his own name.
napabangon siya sa gulat, although gusto na niyang malaman ng dalaga ang katotohanan — nabigla parin siya. she finally knows who he is.
“jennie, i'm sorry, i can explai—” hindi niya natapos ang nais sabihin nang humagulhol si jennie sa kabilang linya. she also doesn't seem to hear what he's trying to say.
“k-kim taehyung.... he's dating s-someone! i can't take this, t-theo... he's taken! after all, i'm just a fan naman diba? pero ang sakit.” she started ranting, pugto na ang mata at napapalibutan na ng mga tissue.
staring into space, taehyung just couldn't believe what he heard.
“have you ever liked a celebrity, theo? kasi, taehyung made me feel so damn good. he comforted me through tough times.”
“he was always there, even if he doesn't know me...” her heart broke into pieces, she's just another fangirl. one of probably many people out there who's also crying in heartbreak right now.
she closed her eyes, and just wanted her tears to stop... but it kept coming, it kept flowing on her cheeks.
“jennie....” he whispered, he doesn't know what to feel.
“trust me, he's not dating anyone else right now. that's a baseless rumor, and a fake news.” he assured her, finally making a decision.
he stood up, brushed his hair using his fingers.
“w-what?! paano mo nalaman?!” panay parin sa iyak ang dalaga. he sighed, closed his eyes for a moment and grabbed his led purge mask to wear.
“can you come out? to the balcony?” he asked, thus taking a few steps to go outside. it was a bit chilly night, the sweater is enough to keep him warm.
narinig niya ang galaw nito sa kabilang linya, “ha? b-bakit...”
he bit his lower lip, “i want to see your face...” diretsang sabi niya.
natameme naman si jennie sa narinig, tila napawi ang kaninang dinadamdam ng sakit at napalitan iyon ng kilig. mabilis siyang nagsuot ng robe. “t-teka, eto na.”
lumabas na siya sa sariling balcony and as expected, nandoon din si theo. nakatapat ang cellphone sa tenga. unlike his usual hoodie fashion, naka sweater lang ito kaya kitang kita na ni jennie ang buhok niya pati body frame.
somehow, he looks familiar.
she wiped her own tears while looking at him. and when the guy slowly removes his mask, kumabog ang puso ni jennie.
she stood in shock, nanlaki ang mata at napahawak sa bibig. mas maniniwala pa siya kung panaginip lang lahat ng ito, it can't be possible.
taehyung smiled slightly, “i want you to see my face too....” he said, after revealing himself.
“no way,” she mumbled before running away.
