sungeun was sitting at her desk, ready to call jungkook minutes before 7:30. she was so excited to see him, she had pampered herself up by doing her hair and makeup tediously and picking out a cute outfit. she had also given yam his first bath and made sure his fur was looking pretty and soft. grabbing her chopsticks and bubble tea, sungeun had her dinner prepared next to her laptop where she would see jungkook in just a couple seconds.

jungkook was nervous. because of this skype call, he would be forced to sit and talk to a girl, unable to shy away if he things became too awkward for him. never had he been given the opportunity to talk to a girl for so long. jungkook had taken a shower and fixed his hair nicely, and since his closet was limited to only a few shirts, he chose a simple, plain white tee and blank skinnies. he wouldn't have even given this much effort to get ready for school. nervously, jungkook sat in his desk chair and fiddled with his chopsticks. he was bound to count down the minutes till 7:30.

two minutes, one minute, thirty seconds, ten seconds.  .

who would call first? sungeun had hoped jungkook would call her. and at exactly 7:30, jungkook's call was incoming on sungeun's laptop, making her heart do a flip. when she accepted the call from 0901.97jk, she was greeted by the teenage boy known as her best friend jeon jungkook. just like the one picture she had seen of him, his hair looked nice and soft, in a light shade of brown and styled nicely. he wore a plain white tee shirt, yet it worked for him. well, he didn't exactly greet her, he just sat there wide-eyed trying to smile. he actually looked nauseated.

this skype call would be different from their phone calls or calls on xbox. now they would be able to see each other's faces and little features and quirks. jungkook had already noticed how beautiful sungeun's eyes were and how they sparkled as soon as he saw her. she was wearing a pale pink shirt which said something in english reading, "not your babe", making jungkook wonder if pink was in fact, her favorite color. come to think of it, that was one thing they hadn't spoke of. out of all the things they had covered in their conversations, favorite colors was not one of them, and he was now curious to ask. so instead of saying hello or greeting his best friend a happy birthday, the first words that had come out of his mouth was, "is pink your favorite color?"

"huh?" sungeun uttered, suddenly leaning closer to the camera. just with that one swift movement, jungkook's heartbeat suddenly quickened. this would be a hella long skype call, and jungkook was not prepared.

"i-uh, i just saw your shirt, and it's pink and i was just wondering if it was your favorite color." he stuttered, "and i think you wear the color nicely anyways."

"yeah i think pink must be my favorite color," sungeun replied curtly, taken aback by jungkook's sudden attempt at a compliment. her face must've turned the same color as her shirt, but shades lighter from blushing. she noticed jungkook's cheeks had been tinted pink as well. knowing how hard it must've been for jungkook to give out compliments, she hadn't mentioned it or messed with him for his attempt. "you wanna start eating?" sungeun asked, lifting her takeout box, filled with various types of sushi. letting out a nervous laugh, jungkook nodded a yes.

the both of them took out their chopsticks and began picking at their own meals. occasionally jungkook would look up at his screen to see sungeun looking down, focused on eating her food. he'd quickly steal those glances before going back to eating, so she wouldn't catch him staring at her.

"hey, where's yam?" he suddenly asked, his mouth full. "oh shit, sorry." he quickly clamped his hand over his mouth, earning a reassuring laugh from sungeun.

"i didn't expect any other behavior from you," she said with a chuckle, before getting up to retrieve yam. sungeun sat back down at her desk with yam rested in her lap and waved his paw at jungkook. jungkook didn't gush over yam like he had previously done over text, and only managed to crack a smile. "cute," he simply said.

after a couple short moments, sungeun laid yam back on her bed. sighing as she sat back down she said, "i can't believe i have seen the real life kageyama tobio."

jungkook had his eyebrows furrowed, making sungeun smile slyly. "i'm talking about you, dumbass. you remind me of tobio so much"

"and you have the biggest crush on him."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"nothing, of course." jungkook waved her off, and they went silent again. "hey, open your gift."

"oh, right!" sungeun exclaimed, reaching across her desk to retrieve the brown box filled with things jungkook had chosen to give her as a birthday present. jungkook watched as she struggled to even tear the tape off the box.

"i thought you were a volleyball player," jungkook commented, his chin propped up by his arm. "use your arm strength, eun."

oh god, there goes that nickname, sungeun thought, her cheeks instantly getting hot. looking up quickly from the box, she glanced at jungkook who had a small smirk on his face. his response was a tilt of the head and an innocent shrug. he seeped in as much as he could of the background behind sungeun and where she was sitting. behind her was her bed on which her blankets and pillows were strewn across. the walls were painted a faint shade of pink and held various posters of anime characters and next to her bed was of course, no one other than kageyama tobio. next to her bed was a small nightstand where a black and white lamp was placed next to manga and school books. jungkook enjoyed noticing the small details about her.

finally after some struggling to tear off the tape, sungeun had opened the box. she lifted the object laid on top. "a haikyuu shirt? worn?" she laughed as she examined the shirt. jungkook decided to give her his favorite shirt although it had already been worn several times. after she placed the shirt on her desk and gave a skeptical smile to jungkook, she continued to take out the things in the box. there was a new video game in there for her xbox which had just came out last week, and jungkook had bought himself one as well. there were snacks from busan jungkook had bought specifically for her, and he had also given her a pair of black knee pads for volleyball. sungeun had liked that idea. at the bottom of the box was a white envelope and the contents inside made it feel quite thick.

"actually wait-" jungkook had stopped her from tearing it open. "could you please open that after we hang up?"

"this?" sungeun waved the envelope in front of the camera. jungkook nodded, and sungeun placed it down. "alright." she said, grabbing her laptop and walking over to sit on her bed. "how about we watch the finale now?" she proposed with a huge grin sprawled across her face.

"you ready to cry?" jungkook laughed, following sungeun and walking over to sit on his own bed.

"i'm eighteen now, i don't cry."
