"Will it be possible for you to drop by at my house after work tonight?"

You are still at work and have just gotten out of a staff meeting when Namjoon suddenly calls you on your cell phone. At first, you were surprised to see his number popping on your screen, since with the current time difference you have between you, it would have been dawn for him and much too early to make such a phone call. 

That was why you had accepted the call in a rush, expecting it to be important—or perhaps an emergency.

Hearing him asking you to drop by at his house has you furrowing your brows. "Why? What's the matter?"

He falls into a beat of silence for a moment before continuing, "I have an important package being delivered to my house. I tried to ask them to hold it off until I return to the city in a few weeks, but they told me they couldn't. The only solution they are willing to do for me is to at least drop it off later tonight after office hours."

Sighing a breath of relief that it isn't anything as alarming as what you had thought it would be, you look over to your desk, past the cluttered mess which you had left behind before rushing to the meeting earlier to take a peek at your daily planner. 

"I might be able to stop by. It's a matter of time for me to visit your house anyway. I need to check up on some things and will probably do some cleaning. Especially if you're coming back soon."

"Great!" he says, sounding both relieved and excited at the same time. "I'm sorry for dropping this on you, but I really appreciate it."

"It's not a problem, Namjoon. It's the least I could do to help after all the things you had done for me, " you answer him while shrugging, even if he wouldn't be able to see you doing it, once again holding back the words that are pushing to come out.

I know that you are going to hate me for hiding this baby from you, so I'll do anything for you as long as I can before you decide that I am nothing but trouble.

You hear him chuckling softly from the other side of the call. "Nonsense. I owe you one."
