*rings*
I reached for my phone on the bedside table, eyes still closed.
"Hello?" I said in a groggy, morning voice.
"Uhhmm... Good morning ma'am." a baritone voice on the other line woke my senses up. I distanced my phone away from my ears and looked at the caller ID
'Joonie oppa'
What the---?
This isn't his voice. It's more deeper than him.
Why does this man have his phone?!
My mind is now having a mini panic attack just by the thought of an unknown man holding his phone and is talking to me right now.
"HELLO?! WHO ARE YOU?! WHY DO YOU HAVE MY BOYFRIEND'S PHONE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?!" I bombarded him with questions. I kept my voice stable but deep inside, I'm quite panicking.
"Ma'am! Ma'am! I need you to calm down. Calm down, first. I'm not a bad guy." His baritone voice pleaded that kinda calmed me down.
I inhaled and exhaled for three times to calm myself down before speaking again, "Alright.."
There was a long silence.
"I'm sorry to bother you ma'am at this hour, but this is something important."
Important?
"What is it? Did something happen to him? Tell me."
"Ma'am calm down first. I won't be telling anything until you calm yourself down."
I closed my eyes and count to ten in my head to calm myself. It's a trick Namjoon oppa taught me whenever I'm panicking. It's always effective to me.
"....Ten"
I heaved a deep sigh before opening my eyes.
"Ma'am? Are you still there?" I heard the voice of the man again.
"Yes.... Tell me now."
"Okay..." he paused for a few moments before continuing."
"Your boyfriend is found dead."
