The next day me and Jihoon go out to walk Mars. When we get to the park my phone rings. I look at the number. It's an American number. Odd.

"Hello?" I say in English.

"Venus?"

"Daren?" I ask.

"Venus! Hi!" He says. Daren is an old "friend" if you catch my drift.

"Um... Hi?" I say not sure how to respond to an ex-boyfriend calling me from another CONTINENT.

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up sometime?" He asks.

"Daren. I'm on another continent," I say simply.

"Oh. Well, when do you get back?" He asks.

"Um... Never? I kinda live here now," I say glancing over at Jihoon who looks confused. I hold up a finger showing that I will explain in a minute. He nods.

"Oh, you didn't tell me that," he says.

"Well, I just did. Listen, I gotta go. Bye," I say then hang up. I look over at Jihoon.

"Ex-boyfriend asking if we could hangout," I say in Korean.

"Really? Wow," he says. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened?"

"Caught him cheating," I say simply. He nods. Mars whimpers from on the ground. Me and Jihoon neel down at the same time and start to pet her. My phone rings again. I look at the number.

"I am not answering that," I say.
