Y/n's Pov

I dashed to my room and slammed the door shut, as I dialed the emergency number Karan had given me. After a few rings, someone finally answered. 

"Hello, this is Rebecca Johnson. How can I assist you?" A polite English voice greeted me over the phone. "Um, can I speak to Karan?" I asked, feeling a bit nervous, unsure if I had dialled the right number.

I heard her shouting, "Oh Karan, he's with me!" Then she called out, "Kar sweetie, someone on the call wants to talk to you. Come quickly!" After some noise, he finally came and asked, "Who wants to talk?"

I said "Y/n" and he quickly responded with, "Oh Y/n, yes, what do you wa–" "Who was that woman?" I interrupted, my tone unintentionally sharp. "And where are you right now?" His chuckle filled the line. "Are you jealous, Cutie?" His playful tease caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but blush at the word 'Cutie'.

"I'm not jealous, alright? Why would I be? I'm not your girlfriend or anything. Plus, you're like my dad's age," I said, frustrated. He just chuckled even louder, which irritated me. "Seriously, are you drunk or something? Just shut up!"

"Okay, okay," he chuckled, "That woman was just a friend who taught me about the magical world, nothing more, okay?" He burst into laughter again. "Why are you even telling me this? I didn't call you to hear about that. I've got more important things to deal with." I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Wow, what business?" he teased, but I was completely serious. "Yesterday at the concert, did you cause the blackout? And why did everyone freeze? Did you stop time?" I asked, and suddenly his playful demeanour turned serious too.

"Yes, I was the one who stopped time, but I didn't make the whole stadium go dark," I said, frowning. "Then who did?" "Flamefilchers," he answered. "Flamefilchers?" I repeated, confused. "Yes," he confirmed. "How?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.

"Flamefilchers are very sensitive to light," he explained, leaving me stunned. "They release a gas that turns off all nearby lights, which helps them find their prey without getting confused."

"But the book you gave me doesn't mention that," I replied, making sure I heard him right.He nodded, "That's right. It's not in the book because it was discovered recently. The book I gave you is very old." "Oh, I get it now," I said, shaking my head.

I was about to hang up when I remembered something. "Karan?" I asked. He hummed in response. "I saw an invisible figure that created light around me. Was that you?"

There was complete silence on the other end of the call, so I called out again, "Karan?" "Yes, yes, what?" he replied, sounding startled. I asked, "Was it you who helped me defeat the Flamefilcher?" He quickly answered, "Yes, that was me. I thought you might not be able to handle so many Flamefilchers at once, so I came to help."

I grinned big and said, "Wow, Karan, you're amazing! You're always there for me when I need you. I Love You, I Love You So Much, Karan" I was so happy saying it.

He chuckled over the line and said "I love you too sweetheart, now tell me are you gonna have a concert today as well?" His question wiped the smile off my face. Annoyed, I replied, "Nope. Somehow, someone caught a video of the flame filcher and posted it online. Now, everyone thinks we did it for attention. Ms. Yoon decided to postpone our concert until next week to sort it out."

"Hmm, that sounds tough, but I believe your company will handle it, so don't stress," I nodded along as he spoke. "So, does that mean you're free today?" he asked. I nodded again, replying, "Yep, looks like it." "Awesome!" he cheered over the phone. "How about meeting up today, same spot as last night?"
