XO (Only If You Say Yes)

10 - Calling

Late Night Talking - Harry Styles

{Jake}

"So, what happened with you and Heeseung?" Sunoo asked, taking a sip of coffee. I was in a cafe with him and Jungwon.

I sigh, "I got his number. He wants me to come to his practice tomorrow." I grab a fork and take a piece of the cake, sliding it into my mouth. "He hasn't told me anything about the notes yet."

"What if it's from him?" Jungwon asked. "I mean, he's been pretty distant about his love life lately."

"You weren't supposed to say that!" Sunoo yelled, slapping the back of his head, making Jungwon wince.

"Wait, he has? Really?"

"Pfft, yeah he has. He stopped flirting with people, and you're starting to gain popularity." He exclaimed, pointing directly to my face. "For, you know? Hanging out with him all the time."

I tilt my head and push Jungwon's finger away from me slowly. "Since when did I- You know what, nevermind. I'm leaving, my mom's gonna scold me." I get my bag from the back of the chair and push the cafe door open.

Sunoo's eyes widened. "Hey, wait! You forgot to finish your cake!"

-

"Should I call him?"

I paced around my room, contemplating whether I should call him or not. It was like an average teenage room, messy bed and clothes thrown around the floor.

I typed out a simple "Hey, wanna call?" and threw my phone on the bed. "Ugh! This is so overwhelming!"

*Ding!*

I squeal, hesitantly grabbing my phone and checking the notification. It wasn't from Heeseung, but from Sunoo. Perhaps I accidentally texted the wrong number.

The phone dings again, another text from Sunoo.

-"Wanna go to the mall this weekend? I want to give Sunghoon an anniversary gift."

-"Heeseung will come."

I sigh.

"Why would I care if Heeseung's coming or not?"-

-"Oh, you're not dating yet? Bummer :/"

-"So, you in?"

"Sure."-

-"Great!"

...

Well, that was intere-

*RINGGGG*

I look down at my vibrating phone, seeing that someone is calling me. I press accept before actually reading the name. "Hello?"

"Hey, you wanted to call?"

My breath got stuck in my throat. It was Heeseung. I thought I sent the text to someone else. "I- Umm... Yeah... What's up?"

He chuckles, his tired voice can be heard through the screen. Deep and attractive. "Cute. I was just playing valorant with the boys."

"I see. Wait- did you just call me cute?"

"No. Well yes, I just-"

"Are you playing dress to impress? On a fucking IPAD?"
