CHAPTER SEVEN Echoes of the past | 과거의 메아리

"Hey..."
"Hey, (Your name), how are you?"
Crystal's tone was light but curious, her voice holding that familiar warmth and subtle hint of sarcasm.
"I... attacked..." She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. The last thing she wanted was for Crystal to know what she'd been up to—especially someone as blunt and straightforward as her.
"Attacked?" Crystal raised an eyebrow, leaning in with that inquisitive look she wore when sensing something was up.
"I... uh, I attacked PTJ Entertainment. I auditioned there—turns out it's one of your branches?" She tried to sound nonchalant, her fingers fidgeting as she adjusted her grip on the phone.
"Oh... yeah, DK's in charge of that branch. Got bored with life to the point you're signing up everywhere?"
"I only went because some friends invited me, and somehow, I ended up joining in."
"Friends?" Crystal pouted, putting extra emphasis on the word as if it were foreign to her. "You have other friends?"
"Believe it or not, yes," she replied with a half-smile. "I used to think the whole world hated me, but I guess not. It's a miracle, huh."
Crystal shook her head, a smile tugging at her lips. "Okay, fine, but just... don't go doing anything crazy."
"You know me; I've always done random things," she said with a shrug, though there was a note of challenge in her voice.
"Yes, but now that I'm here, I'll try my best to make sure you don't drift off into every crazy idea that pops into your head," Crystal replied, a mock sternness in her voice.
"Wow, intense," she teased, laughing softly. "Anyway, the real reason I called—what time is that ball you mentioned? And how high are the heels you got for me?"
Crystal laughed. "Tomorrow night at 9:30 PM."
"Midnight? You're kidding, right?" she groaned, pulling a face at the thought of dressing up for an entire evening event.
"Oh, don't complain. You're always up late anyway," Crystal replied, smirking.
"True, but night walks are different," she countered, her mind wandering to the quiet streets and the peace of walking under the stars.
"Speaking of walks, don't worry about the heels. They're only three inches."
"Only?! You know I could twist an ankle in those, right?"
