사랑 참 어렵다 (Love is hard)

Chapter Eighteen.

[ Dohee pov ]

As Heesoo left the room, I slumped back down on my bed. What did I get myself into? I think back to last night and his sudden boldness in asking me out. Why did he have to open his mouth? Why did I say yes to the date? Why did I let him take me back?

Why why why why why?!

AARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!

What's wrong with me?!

I look over at my phone. Is it too late to cancel? I couldn't even get a proper nights sleep because of this. I layed on my bed just debating with myself whether or not to call.
I dont even have his number! Is that a sign?
Sighing I grab my phone and dial Namjoon's number.

I can't deal with it.

"Yo yo yo" he answers happily

"Hey" I reply a little worried...I feel bad...should I cancel?

"Dohee? Are you there?" He says.

"I'm here, sorry. I was just wondering if...... if Kris was around?" I was biting my lip at this point, nervous habit.

Please dont be there, dont be there, dont be--

"Hello?" Says Kris.

With the butterflies in my stomach and the crazy nervousness that I was feeling as soon as he said hello, my arms had a mind of their own and flung my phone to the wall.

"Dohee? Hello?! Are you ok?" Says a worried voice

Composing myself, I grab my phone and put it back to my ear.

"Yeah I'm fine, sorry about that." I say.

I pause, not knowing what to say. I dont know why I'm even getting so worked up about this too.

"You want to cancel on our date." He says before I could say anything else.
Shocked I look at my phone then put the phone back to my ear.

"W-what? How did you know?" I ask him surprised.

"Well what other reason would you call me for?" He says with a soft chuckle.

"Look Kris, I'm sorry--"

"It's ok" he says "You were in the adrenaline of the moment and I make you flustered so I understand."

In the moment? Flustered?

"Excuse me? You do not fluster me" I say back.

"Oh please, I do make you flustered. You're always nervous around me. I think it's rather cute" he says teasingly.

I roll my eyes, a smile on my face "whatever kris. I'm hanging up."

"You're what?" He says

I dont care and I hang up the phone. He already knew I was gonna cancel. I dont know why but it makes me feel happy. Hmmm, strange.

*Bzzzt bzzzzzt*

Is he calling again?! I grab my phone and answer it,

"Look, I said I was going to-"

"This isnt who you think it is" says a distorted voice.

W-what?

"How have you been Miss Kim?" Says the mystery person.

My body goes still and stiff. W-what?

"Who is this?" I say as I try to gain my composure back.

There was no answer from the mysterious person.
