■ 18: phone call ■

───── Ki Chul's POV ─────

I stared at the ceiling of my bedroom while laying down on my bed, arms and legs spread wide open as I think about yesterday's events.

"Everywhere you go in your journey to find the answers you want and need, I wish to be with you every step of the way"

I bit my lip to prevent my smile from growing bigger only to fail. I couldn't take it anymore. I rolled to the side, covered my face with a pillow, and squealed. I had to let all out the butterflies I am feeling right now.

'Why would he say that?'

'What does he mean by it?'

'Did he even mean it?'

'Why am I even over-reacting over this?'

I have to talk to someone about this. I reached for my phone and scrolled through my contacts. My fingers hovered over Ryujin's and Yuna's, but then I remember that they're technically still not in good terms with the boys. They're great for a little girl talk, but maybe not the best right now.

My fingers stopped at another contact. Someone who I think I can rely on. Someone who I am comfortable with. May not be a girl, but he still might be able to understand and help me.

Kang Taehyun.

With no hesitation, I clicked on his number and waited until he picked it up.

Taehyun: Hello? Ki Chul?

Ki Chul: Hey, you busy?

Taehyun: A bit. We've been training.

Ki Chul: Oh... Why are you guys training this early? Don't you train in the afternoon?

Taehyun: True, but we kinda have an emergency at hand.

Ki Chul: Ahhh, right. I remember Beomgyu getting a call yesterday saying it was an emergency, which is why we had to quickly wrap-up our hangout. What happened exactly, if you don't mind me asking?

Taehyun: Well... One of our small bases was suddenly attacked yesterday by the KDs. None of us were prepared for it, so it took quite a damage. The thing is, Soobin-hyung was there when it happened to settle some matter, and Yeonjun-hyung has been panicking ever since. Luckily, he and some other agents were able to escape and transfer to the main headquarters.
