"Hello, Jisoo?" Lisa greeted her, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Lisaaa!" Jisoo's voice came through the line, filled with excitement too. "I'm so sorry I missed your calls earlier. I was caught up in meetings all day. What's up?"

A wave of relief washed over Lisa as she heard Jisoo's voice, her earlier disappointment fading into the background. "It's okay, Jisoo. I have some amazing news to share with you!" Lisa exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.

Jisoo's curiosity piqued, and she responded eagerly, "Tell me! What's the big news?"

With a wide grin spreading across her face, Lisa took a deep breath before delivering the news that would change both of their lives. "I've been offered a role in an upcoming drama, and guess who my co-star is? It's you, Jisoo! We'll be starring together!"

There was a moment of stunned silence on the other end of the line before Jisoo's voice erupted with excitement. "Oh my god, Lisa, that's incredible! Do you like my gift?!" she exclaimed, her excitement palpable even through the phone.

"Wait, what?? Gift?!" Lisa asked in a confused tone because, by now, she's completely blank about everything to process Jisoo's words correctly.

Jisoo laughed on the other side in her sweet, husky voice, and she said," Didn't I promise you that when I return, we'll do something special, and what could be more special than this!? So this is it!".

Lisa's expression transformed as she processed Jisoo's words, a mixture of disbelief and pure joy flickering across her features. Her eyebrows raised in surprise, her eyes widening slightly as she struggled to comprehend the enormity of the surprise. Yet, beneath the disbelief, a radiant smile began to blossom on her lips, a testament to the overwhelming happiness and gratitude welling up within her. It was a moment frozen in time, capturing the sheer wonder and delight of a heart touched by love and unexpected generosity.

As Lisa listened to Jisoo's words pouring through the phone, she couldn't help but sense the palpable excitement emanating from the other end of the line. With each word spoken, Jisoo's voice was filled with a contagious enthusiasm that seemed to leap across the airwaves, enveloping Lisa in its infectious energy. There was a buoyancy to Jisoo's tone, a joyous lilt that danced in the spaces between their conversation.

"This is really unexpected!! I still can't believe it," Lisa said, as she still finds it shocking that Jisoo planned all this, which is easy to realize because Jisoo always chooses her work herself and nobody influences her decision.

"Haha! To be honest, I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to realize that it's all my decision, but I'm glad now, after hearing this excitement in your voice." Jisoo said as she laughed on the call, which made Lisa smile shyly.

Lisa could practically hear the smile in Jisoo's voice, the subtle shifts in tone and cadence betraying the excitement bubbling within her. There were moments of exuberant laughter interspersed with rapid-fire sentences, each brimming with anticipation. It was as if Jisoo's enthusiasm was contagious, seeping through the phone and igniting a similar spark within Lisa's own heart.

Despite the distance separating them, the connection between Lisa and Jisoo felt palpable, as though they were sharing the same space, caught up in the same moment of excitement and anticipation.

As the weight of Jisoo's surprise and her own overwhelming emotions settled upon her, Lisa's voice trembled slightly as she finally whispered the words she had longed to express: "I love you." The words hung in the air, laden with a depth of feeling that transcended mere speech.
