Don't Tell Em

Text Messages and Time Zones

A/N: this chapter might be a little boring because it is written to set things up. Exciting couple stuff won't happen just yet. And I know the texting is set up wierd but I want it to still flow like a story. Well, lets get to it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks later...
    I lay on my bed as I read the note again. There is no way this is his actual number. Idols just don't do that, but I wanted to believe with everything in me that maybe he would. I ran my finger over the words before picking up my phone. There's nothing wrong in trying, right? I dialed the number exactly as it was written on the note. My thumb hovered over the call button as I held my breath. I then did the unthinkable... I tapped the home button. Yes, I chickened out but not 100%. I figured that a text should suffice. I re-typed the number, but this time, I typed it into the blank above the one for the message. I then contemplated exactly what I should say. Should I introduce myself? Should I ask if its really him? Should I actually do this? No Alliyah, you are going to do this. I just decided to start out simple.
(A/N: Alliyah is italicized. Rapmon is bolded.)

Hey...

     Now that I think about it, I probably should have checked to see what time it is over there. I hope I don't disturb him or anything. As I was looking for the time difference, I felt my phone buzz in my hand. I looked up in the left corner to see that I got a new message. I checked to see who it was and almost fell off the bed when I saw that it was him. Or at least I think it's him..

Hey, I was beginning to think that you lost my number.

    I decided I would check to see if it was really him.

Who is this?

Well you texted me, but introduction is probably a good place to start. I'm Rapmonster from BTS, but you can call me Namjoon. What's your name? I don't remember getting it back in LA.

    He can't possibly still remember me. He's probably had a full schedule since then and come in contact with many other girls. I really want to keep the conversation going so I reply anyway.

You remember me?

Well yeah, you're the only one I gave my number to while on that tour.

    I read that text twice over before it finally clicked. I was the only one he gave his number to. I was the one that left an impression on him. I let out a scream before getting out of bed and jumping up and down. After a few seconds, I got a hold of myself and layed back down before picking my phone back up.

Does that make me special?

Yes, it does. But I still didn't get your name..

Oh yeah, it's Aaliyah. I go by many different nicknames but you can just call me Ally or Liyah.

Beautiful name. How old are you, Aaliyah?

I'm 17, but I turn 18 in a few months.

   I hoped he didn't have a problem with that. I mean, as long as nothing illegal happens, we should be fine.

My birthday's in a few months too. When's yours?

September 20. 8 days after yours.

That's cool. So we're looking at about a 3 year age difference overall.

Yeah... Is that OK?

Yeah, you'll be legal in both Korea and the U.S. in a few months. And I won't be back to America for a while so it'll be fine. If I understand that law correctly.
