"you know you could fix your phone just by placing it inside rice for a couple of days."
"rice? my grandma would cook rice with my phone if she hadn't been looking." hanbyul said sheepishly.
"how about i help you instead? i am partially the reason why you dropped your phone..."
"really? do you mind?"
"not at all."
"then... thanks."

"jaemin, whose phone is this and what is it doing in our rice?!" jaemin woke up from his nap at the sound of mother yelling in the background.
he shot right up from his bed and immediately, he ran out of his bedroom and into the kitchen where his mother is. after receiving a lecture from his mother, he talked himself out of getting another half an hour of lecture by volunteering himself to cook the rice.
"make sure the rice is washed thoroughly." his mother reminded him before leaving the kitchen.
jaemin let out a sigh of relief and took the phone in his hand. he stared at it and smiled unknowingly. he had nearly forgotten about hanbyul's phone in the rice after settling it a few days ago. to make sure it was alive again, he plugged in the phone and attempted to switch the phone on, waiting for the locked screen background to appear.
as he waited, he did his chore as promised. once he had made sure he had washed the rice thoroughly like his mother told him to, he switched the rice cooker on. when jaemin went back to the phone to check, he was surprised by the amount of notifications ringing through the phone. guilt washed over him again when he saw the missed calls the girl had from her grandparents for the time she wasn't home yet and instead was with him.
it took the phone awhile to finally stop vibrating so vigorously because of the notifications and finally settle on the last one:
kakaotalk: one new message from heychan
jaemin blinked. where has he seen this username before? he was curious and so he swiped the unlock button which brought him to the passcode. knowing hanbyul too well, he entered the birthday of her dog and he managed to unlock the phone. she was just that simple and predictable.
before he could even click on the yellow app, he made sure he had switched off her cellular data. sorry hanbyul, jaemin hoped that she wouldn't find out about this.
heychan: i miss talking to you hanbyul
jaemin frowned. sensing that something's weird, he went on his phone too. he went onto his kakaotalk and scrolled through his list of friends carefully and made sure he doesn't miss out anyone. after what seems like forever, he finally spotted the same username and he was surprised to find out who it is.
"donghyuck?"
