HEART.
After spending a few hours in the library studying, their classes were finally dismissed, as Liming felt his phone vibrating— it was Por.
"Hello? what is it?"
"Hey, let's meet! Let's go to the cafe I'm kinda hungry let's talk about our project there as well"
"Alright sure, meet me outside the lib."
"I'll be there!" Por immediately ended the call.
Aigh this human, he never runs out of battery Liming chuckled.

"Hey hey! c'mon let's go, it's my treat since it's been a while." Por placed his arms on Liming's shoulders making him lose his balance for a second.
"What's with the energy? You're too happy huh." Liming teases.
"I'll tell you later my friend." They laughed as they walked ahead to the cafe.
This cafe is definitely one of their favorites, because they offer the best-selling coffee and tea's that has various flavors for you to choose from, they also serve sweet and flavorful delicacies that draws a lot of people in, aside from Liming and Por, who are, of course, their regular customers.
This is their safe place to relax.
"We're here, finally."
"Welcome." as the cafe assistants welcomed them happily.
"You can order now I'll pay." Por proudly said.
"Damn, is this really you?"
"Cut that before I change my mind." He jokingly states.
"Matcha please."
"Ohh~ a matcha lover, sorry but I'm not a fan, it tastes like rotten leaves." Por teased.
"Stop the slandering no one asked." They both laughed. "One dark choco, thank you."
"Let's sit over there." He pointed a vacant table.

"Now tell me, did the thing replied?" Por asked.
"It didn't, it's been hours."
"Maybe it's just a missent?"
"Maybe..." Liming looked down, he's actually sad, he's expecting something but he's just in disappointment. Por noticed that.
"Hey.." Por taps Liming's shoulder "how can you be much more curious about who's the person chitchatting you randomly than the fact that that pager literally just showed up on your table? That doesn't creep you out at all?" Por insist.
It makes Liming more confused, he totally forgot about that.
"I- I don't know, maybe someone just put the pager there or maybe it's already there but I just didn't notice." Liming replied.
"Anyway— Don't change the topic dumbass, tell me why you're so happy today, you even get to treat me, so kind of you—" Liming cuts.
"Here's your order sir."
"Oh thank you thank you." They both thanked.
"Well you see I admire someone..."
"Really?! What's her name?"
"I-It's not a her..."
Liming who drinking his tea, almost spilled it out.
"You're gay?!" Liming was surprised of course, Por isn't the type of person to be gay but I guess that's the biggest lie ever made.
"Shut–" he placed his hand on Liming's mouth, shushing him. "You're so loud! I'll throw this in your face! You don't want to smell like a rotten chocolate do you??" He widened his eyes, gritting his teeth, simply threatening Liming.
"Okay okay.. calm down, I'm sorry." Liming exhales deeply and chuckled.
"Can I ask what's his name though?" Liming asked.
"I ain't telling you."
"Fine, I'll know him myself." Liming teases.
"Oh no you'll never~" Por teased back.
"Oh yes I will~"
*An hour has passed, they're both done with their project and will only prepare scripts for their presentation next, suddenly Liming felt something vibrating again, this time it's not from a phone but from the pager.
"Wait what?" As he pulled out the pager out of his bag.
*GLAD-YOU-ANSWER* it states.
"What is it Li?" Por asked, confused.
"It's the pager."
"What?? Really? What does it say?"
"It said that he's glad I answered." Liming replied, his eyebrows almost forming a v shape.
"Damn, why does that thing always gives me chills." Por states, caressing his arms because he's literally having chills.
"Should I reply back?"
"Really? You're literally asking an indecisive person" Por replied.
"Fine fine whatever." He then proceeds to search up more pager codes to reply.
Liming
*WHO-ARE-YOU*Liming replied.
UNKNOWN
* ♡ *Liming got more confused.
"Por what do you think this mean?"
"Whats that? A heart?" Por asked.
"Yeah it is."
"Does he have a crush on you or what? his style is so old fashioned ma–" Liming hung him
"Could it be his name?" He asked.
Por chuckled. "Clever, well yeah it could be." He replied.
Liming
*NAME?*UKNOWN
*435*"He said.. yes."
"Good for you." As Por proceeds to sip his tea.
"Heart." Liming freezes for a bit, deep inside he wants to know this person more, though people around him might find it weird, but he always find these new things interesting... for him to spend his time onto, just like books. Noting what happened to him in the past, I can still tell that Liming is a very very lonely person, who wants nothing, but a friend and someone to talk to.
Its more like he wants to know this person more, than thinking what, when and where did it even came from.
