«NARRATION»

One year later.

"Welcome back to love wise, your favourite late night radio talk show! I'm your host Jennie Kim and let's hear some true stories of our mates, in their own words." The presenter beemed with joy as she welcomed her listeners back after a short break. The clock read 11:01 pm when Jungkook reached for the toll free number on his phone to make the call, his breath uneven as his hands trembled in anxiousness.

"We have a new caller online. May I know your name?" The host asked subtly in her feminine voice.

"Hello. My name is Jeon Jungkook."

"Hi, Jungkook. As you clearly know that in this segment, we will help you connect to the person you wish to tae with and confess to them; who would you like to call tonight?"

"Actually, I would like to speak with my ex girlfriend, Lalisa."

"Uhm, okay Jungkook. When did you break up?"

"About a year ago."

"May we know why? If you're comfortable, of course."

"Because I broke her heart. I was not true with my feelings. She found out." The man hesitantly replied as a momentary silence spread across the connected lines.

"Why do you wish to call her tonight? To ask for a second chance?"

"N-no. I just want to apologise and let her know that I regret everything. Because everything above all, she was my best friend before being my lover, although I failed to put her through the end."

"Hmmm." Jennie Kim sighed. This wasn't the first time she was hearing a breakup story; she had millions of sad stories narrated to her everyday, but it was rare to witness ex lovers garnering courage to contact their ex after the downfall of their relationship, especially when they knew the call would be recorded and would be heard by everyone as the show was broadcasted via satellites.

"Do you wish to get back with her?"

"If possible, then yes I would love to."

"Alright then, lets call her now." The number provided by Jungkook was dialled, Jungkook's anxiety taking over each passing second the sound of the dialing intensified.

"Hello, am I speaking to Ms Lalisa at the moment?" Jennie inquired the moment the call was received.

"Yes I am. Who's this?"

"I'm Jennie Kim from love wise talk show, there's someone who wants to speak to you at the moment, we will be shortly connecting your call with them."

"Hello Lisa...its me, Jungkook."

Lisa paused for a moment, deeply sighing into the call, making Jungkook wonder if she was still connected.

"Are you still there?"

"Why have you called me?"

"I...I just w-wanted to apologise to you."

"Apologise?" She sneered. "For what?"

"For everything I did back then, for hurting you."

"Its been over a year now Jungkook, I'm sure you don't even recollect what you're asking an apology for..."
