"Hyunjinie! what's up?"

"Hey Chanie Hyung, I have a question."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Do you know if manager-nim already sent my needs' box?"

"Uhh...let me check." He placed the phone down. A few seconds later, he picked it up.

"Nope not yet, I think he'll send it tomorrow morning. Why?"

"Can you do a me a favor?"

"Sure"

"But no one can know. You have to do it carefully and hide it well through the stuff."

"Hyunjin..."

"Don't get mad, I just don't want them scolding me"

"What is it?"

"Look, I have my old phone in my drawer. Take it out, put it in a bag and slide it into the box, hide it between clothes or something."

"What do you need your phone for? What's wrong with yours?"

"It's just that this one is very expensive, and since I'll be working with dirt and water I'd rather have another one just to use it when I'm doing work."

"...sure?"

"I'm serious"

"I'll do it under one condition."

"Consider it done"

"When you come back, you tell me the actual truth behind that phone."

Damn it.

"Heh...alright"

"Just don't get in trouble Hyunjin, don't break the rules"

"I won't, don't worry. Also, put in the bag one of those spare phone chips we have"

"I am worried now..."

"No no no, don't be, I promise there's nothing wrong."

"You're so nervous you're even whispering to me even though you're alone."

I realized I was in fact. I cleared my throat and spoke normally.

"Sorry."

Chan chuckled. "Okay, done."

"Thank you so much, Hyung"

"No prob. Good night Hyunjinie"

"Good nigh~"

Okay... issue solved. I went to sleep peacefully, now that I fixed the problem.

-Flashback to the problem- An hour earlier..

"Yeah, see you tomorrow"

"But hey!" She called me, "be ready between 9 and 10, I still don't know exactly the time."

"Can You set the hour? I take my time getting ready."

"So? Get ready before 9 just in case"

"But if you end up coming at 10, I could have slept a bit more."

"Don't be lazy!" She chuckled.

"Why can't you set the hour?"

"The admin hasn't told me if we have to clean the canteen or not! I'll go tomorrow morning to ask him. If not, then we see at 10, and if we do, then at 9, it's easy!"

"How about you send me a message so I can determine wether to fully wake up or keep sleeping?"

Well played Hyunjin..

"Message?" She frowned.

"Yeah"

"I don't have a phone."

"You What??"

"I don't" she shrugged.

"Why not?"

"I don't make a lot of money here, and the few I do I use it for food and essentials. Plus, I don't really need a phone, I just walk to whoever I need to talk to here."

"How do you comunicate with your mom?"

"I go once a week to my house. She understands."

"I-... well you need a phone! What if something comes up at your house and your mom can't comunicate with you?"

"The area where I live is extremely peaceful, and we have everything we need close enough, so there hasn't been a problem. Anyway if she needs something she'll call the admin and he'll let me know"

"But what if you need help in the middle of the night and need to call someone? You need a phone"

"Sam, I don't need one, I'm fine"

"W-well you should have one! What if I need help and I need to call you?"

"...okay fair point, since it's more likely if something happens to you than to me.." she brought her hand to her chin. "But still, you live closer to the admin! You can call him with your phone. Even if I needed one, I can't buy one right now, so there's that."

"But-"

"Oh my gosh!" She laughed. "Go back to your Cabin, get ready for 10! I'll let you sleep another hour then". She turned around and opened her door. "Good night Sam" she giggled.

I turned around and left -yes, for real-

It's not because I want to sleep more...
