heychan: wanna be friends?
HAMbyul: huh?
heychan: do you know how to read
HAMbyul: I do but
HAMbyul: lmAO WHY MY FRIENDSHIP OF ALL PEOPLE
his heart wouldn't stop beating rapidly as he stared at the forwarded reply.
eyes wandering off the smart device he was holding, he tries to think of a reason–a believable lie to feed. he couldn't possibly just reply honestly with the exact truth, it will definitely be weird and creepy, and that'll scare her away.
he couldn't just tell her that he somehow found her Instagram 3 months ago while lurking around his friend's following list and her meme worthy profile picture had caught his attention and she had drawn him in after seeing an entire feed of her lifestyle and selcas and because of that he wants to get to know her more with the minimal updates on her Instagram. but fortunately, he found her kakaotalk through the long conversation of her and her foreign Internet friends in the comment section a week ago.
he can't tell her that, just, no.
"donghyuck what are you doing?"
donghyuck blinked and turned to the owner of the voice. his best friend, mark was looking at him with a facial expression donghyuck knew too well of. it was the same expression mark will have whenever donghyuck is about to prank someone (mark lowkey prays that it isn't going to be him).
"staring at this wall, duh." he replies.
"uh... okay." mark slowly nodded and left him alone, walking far away from where donghyuck is. he sensed something fishy about donghyuck and obviously he isn't going to be around to accidentally become his victim again.
donghyuck adverted his attention back to his phone again and he started to type. it didn't take long for him to wait for a reply and it freaked him out a little when his phone vibrated in his hand.
heychan: idk u seem nice
HAMbyul: how do you even know if I'm nice or not
"she's good..." he chuckled and nodded in approval. but he had nearly forgotten that he still have to reply her with something that might not seem weird to her to cover up his lowkey creepy ulterior motive.
when realisation hit him, he grunted out loud.
his phone vibrated again and his eyes widened. his fingers hover above the keyboard, not knowing what to reply her. should he remain anonymous or should he just reveal his identity?
God, why did he kkt message her in the first place when he's pretty okay with just waiting for her once in a blue moon Instagram updates.
HAMbyul: wait how did you know me
HAMbyul: how did you find my kkt
HAMbyul: wait shit omg who is this again
heychan: lol chill I'm not a stalker or anything
shit wrong thing to say. he shouldn't have replied with that. she's probably freaking out even more now that he sounds even more suspicious.
donghyuck just wants to befriend her, why is it so hard for him?!
he leaned against the backrest and sighed loudly, realising the chances of getting to know her has decreased even more because of his impulsive behaviour.
HAMbyul: o okay then
HAMbyul: then can you at least tell me how you know me from
HAMbyul: bc rn I feel so conceited pls keep me in check
heychan: we share the same mutual friend
HAMbyul: oo who is it
heychan: go find out urself ;)
HAMbyul: gdi
donghyuck heaved a sigh in relief and he wiped his sweaty palms on his trousers. thank God that's over.
HAMbyul: since you made the effort to get my kkt and messaged me here for my friendship let's start all over again
HAMbyul: I'm hanbyul :D
HAMbyul: I assume your name is chan?
"chan?" donghyuck wondered where she got that assumption from, but then he remembered what he put his name as on kakao.
'heychan' is supposed to be the same thing as 'haechan', a nickname donghyuck's grandfather had given him when he was a toddler. but since both have the same pronunciation and he thought it was kinda witty when the idea came to him when he first joined kakao, he decided to put 'heychan' instead.
so it wouldn't exactly be lying if he says yes, right?
heychan: yeah kinda
HAMbyul: kinda?
heychan: it's haechan actually but you can also call me that if you want
heychan: whatever floats your float
HAMbyul: ah
HAMbyul: that's smart
heychan: ikr
donghyuck punched the air upwards, "yes!" he have never felt more grateful to the heaven above for making this happen so smoothly.
for the rest of the night, mark have never seen his best friend so occupied with his phone before–no matter how fun clash of clans can be at times. it just left him wondering, though he's kind of glad donghyuck isn't out harassing anyone as much so he didn't bother anymore as long as everyone in the squad is donghyuck free.
