UNEDITED
after i got home that day, i immediately went to my room and laid on my bed. i was exhausted after everything that happened today and just wanted to rest.
my cheekbone was angry with me and hurt everytime i applied the slightest bit of pressure to it.
i decided it was best to sleep it off, hoping i would feel better in the morning.
i woke up later to my phone vibrating and my ringtone going off next to me. i groaned as i grabbed my phone with my eyes half-open. i didn't see the caller name, but i assumed it was my mother.
" yes, mommy? " i murmured.
i didn't get a response, so i thought that she must've called me on accident. i put the phone closer to my face and spoke again.
" mommy? are you th- "
" that's a pretty name. "
i gasped when i heard the voice. my eyes widened when i realized just who had called me. embarrassed, i adjusted the angle of my phone to show my wall instead of me.
well, shit.
" h-haewon!? i'm so so sorry i thought it was- "
" oh, you thought it was ms. hara calling? "
she giggled, and i felt my face heat up in embarrassment. i was struggling to find a response while i heard her laughing again.
" tilt your camera down, i wanna see your face."
i moved my phone down, smiling when i saw her face. it felt good so see her again, especially since we hadn't talked in a while. i don't know if it's because of the camera lighting, but she looked like she was glowing.
" you're so embarrassed, you can't even speak right now? " she teased.
" no- well, yes. i guess is because it's been a while since we've seen each other. even if it's only through a camera. " i said.
" i miss you y/n. i miss you so much." she said sweetly, like honey was dripping through her voice.
" i miss you too. how is everything going down
the- "
" wait let me see your face. "
she cut me off, confusion written on her face. i fixed the camera to show my face better. i even flashed a peace sign and smiled, thinking she was going to take a screenshot.
but her expression was still serious.
" why are you looking at me like that? am i ugly on camera? " i pouted.
" what happened to you? "
" wait. you seriously think im ugly? " i asked, offended.
" y/n, i'm not joking. who did that to you? "
i felt along the sie of my face, wincing when i got to the huge bruise.
oh.
the smile quickly fell off my lips when i realized what she was asking about. i moved that camera away from my cheek to show on the top of my forehead.
