Enchanted to Meet You

Part:11

(A/n:It had been two days, and Tae kept dialling that familiar number, hoping that Jiya would receive the call.. Each time, there was no answer.. So he sent a few messages, his words gentle but urgent, yet still, there was no response..

Today, when he tried again, the line was switched off.. Tae’s heart sank.. He couldn’t help but think that Jiya had turned it off herself, that maybe she just didn’t want to talk to him anymore..

He should have felt relieved, right? After all, Jiya wasn’t reaching out, wasn’t bothering him.. She was the one keeping her distance.. But deep down, there was no relief, no comfort.. Instead, his heart was heavy with guilt.. He wanted so desperately to apologize, to make things right.. And though he didn’t understand why, he longed to see her, to hear her voice just once more..

With her number unreachable, he decided to ask Ahan if he had another contact for her.. Tae assumed he had been calling the right number, but what he didn’t realize was that it was Jiya’s number—just not the one she carried with her.. That phone stayed at home, forgotten.. Jiya had another one she used daily..

As for Jiya, she hadn’t checked that phone since the incident.. She only used it to reach out to Tae, and after what had happened, she was too hurt, too sad.. Besides, Yeonie, her  bestfrnd, had gently urged her not to think about Tae for a while, to give herself some space.. So, she never looked at that phone again.. Eventually, the battery drained, and it switched off on its own..

Jiya didn’t know Tae was trying to reach her, that he was still trying to find a way to talk to her.. She was too lost in her own sadness, and with Yeonie by her side, she decided to take a break from all the heartache.. She needed to heal.. After all,she was so hurt by Tae's behaviour,
no matter what's the reason..)

   "AT KIM CORPORATION:WITH TAE"

Tae:(OTP)Ahan,my room,right now..

Ahan:Ok...(The call was cut..) What's the sudden issue..?

Tae:I hope Ahan has another number of her...(He sighed deeply)

Ahan:(After a few minutes)I am coming..

Tae:Yeah...

Ahan:So?

Tae:Ahan,actually....(He was hesitating, too..)

Ahan:Yes...?(Confused)

Tae:Do you have another number of her?

Ahan:Who "Her"?(He kinda guessed, but still, he was teasing Tae..)

Tae:Jiya...?

Ahan:Jiya, who?

Tae:Yaaa... Ahan...(sad look)

Ahan:I don't have another number,she has only one number...

Tae:But it's switched off..

Ahan:I literally talked with her a while ago...

Tae:Huh?

Ahan:Yeah.. Here is the number...

Tae:(Tae saw it, and it wasn't the same number..)Send me this...

Ahan:Why should I?(raised his eyebrows)

Tae:I wanna talk with her..

Ahan:For scolding again?

Tae:Ahan..I said I am sorry.. And I wanna say sorry to her.. It's bothering me so badly..

Ahan:I am sending the number.. You had better apologise to her properly..

Tae:I will..

Ahan:Done.. And idk about what number you were talking about.. But it's her only number.. So yeah...
