Take me back. | Joost Klein

2. Risky.

Hana's eyes widen a bit, both of her eyebrows rising slightly. She looks at her phone-screen not knowing what to do. Responding him would be risky if someone finds out but she decided to do it anyways, thinking about what her friend said.

-Thank you, you're sweet.
she replies

Hana looks at the screen, still unsure if she did the right thing. Bitting her nails, she notices the three little dots moving up and down.

-No need, sweetheard. You like my song?
he continues
-Its nice but mines are way better. :)
hana jokes, giggling
-Oh, silly me. I'm Joost by the way, Joost Klein.
joost introduces himself
-I know that. I'm Hana, Sasaki Hana.
hana texts
-Nice to "meet" you, Hana. Never heard of you before but you have lots of fans from what i see
joost texts back
-You googled me? Really? How come you never heard of me before...?
hana replies, a bit shocked at his text, she never heard of someone who didn't knew here, maybe bacause she doesn't really talk to people besides her closest friends
-Maybe, maybe not. And yeah i never heard of you before. But your songs are pretty cool, you give me mitski vibes :))
he replies after listening to some of her most popular songs, than smirking at himself after she asks if he googled her
-Thanks but mitski is way better, she's a queen.
she replies still a little mad over the fact that he never heard of her at all
-Facts. I mean mitski is iconic. I like your song, "At my window".
he texts
-You really didn't know what to say, did you? That is like, my worst song. I appreciate you trying to continue the convo but i think its too risky, if someone finds out the the press is gonna be full of this.
she replies
-No, wait, i do like it. I promise, no one is gonna find out, we can be friends, nothing else.
he texts back, wanting to talk to her
-I think so... but i don't usually get very close with people online
she replies again
-Well, maybe we'll met someday, i'm currently in Malmo, Sweden. You're in Japan, right?
-Yeah, i am. But so you know, i don't text first, like, never. And i'm not that extrovertit, it'll seem like i don't care about what you're telling me. And i get upset really fast if you don't listen to me and act like you don't really care. I won't be a good friend, Joost.
she texts looking at her screen with a sad face, telling him her red flags as a friend
-Its fine. I'll text first and i'll be extrovertit enough so you don't think i don't care about you. Trust me.
he replies trying to convince her
-Fine. As you want. I warned you.
-Warning taken, sweetheard.
-By the way, is there any chance you know this guy, Thomas Evens? A tall dark-haired guy, brown eyes and sharp jawline?
s

he asks
-Never heard of him. Who's this guy?
he replies
-I should've known. It was a stupid question anyways. Its an ex-classmate. I was in highschool with him, we were pretty close, but he went in The Netherlands for college and we didn't keep in touch, he changed his number.
she replies
-Oh, no i don't know him but in my opinion if he really cared about you, he would've contat you in a way or another.
-Maybe. I have to go. Goodbye.
she texts than closes her phone, not seeing if he replied or not

She presses her legs on her chest, kinda hugging them, feeling sad that one of her closest friends has forgotten about her. Some tears drop on her cheeks, memories with them fading through her head. Thomas was her closest friend before she knew Akane. He always used to comfort her when she had a bad day. He was there for her bofore she was famous, that meant everything for her. After a few months, after Thomas went for college, she met Akane, this girl supported Hana in everything, without her, Hana would've not even succeed in her career.

Author's note: Hey, hope you enjoy it. Just to clarify, i don't want to make this ff cringey so i won't make it with smut. Maybe some kisses and deep hugs are enough. I don't want to sexualize Joost or make someone feel uncomfortable, its your choice to read it or not. Leaving comments and votes help me A LOT, anything you can comment is okay. ❤️
