Happy New Year's (707 x MC)

Chapter #2

It was currently sometime around 10 o’clock at night. Tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve, also known as December 31st. Nearly everyone in this side of the city was peacefully sleeping in their beds. Nearly
everyone, but one person…

Nearly everyone, but MC. She was sprawled underneath the comforter of her bed, phone in hand and blankets covering
her body. MC had went to bed around 8:00 PM, but hadn’t been able to get a wink of sleep. She was too anxious for tomorrow night. The night of her date with the one and only Seven.

At the moment, MC was on the RFA messenger app. She was scrolling back and forth idly through the contact/call list. MC, being as tired as she was, closed her eyes for a moment, eager as well as desperate for some much-needed shut-eye, when…

Ring! Ring! Her ringtone was emanating from her cell phone.

She immediately shot her eyes open to look at her phone. She had accidentally called Jaehee! MC moved her finger to end the
call, but then… Jaehee picked up, answering the accidental phone call.

“MC? This is you, correct? Why are you up this late?” Jaehee’s voice rang out from the phone’s speaker. MC sighed before sitting up in bed, holding her phone to her ear.

“Hey, Jaehee.” MC greeted, yawning softly in the process. “MC? As I asked before, why are you up so late?” Jaehee asked once again, worry evident in her voice. MC yawned again, rubbing her exhausted eyes, before answering. “I… I couldn’t sleep. And I accidentally called you… I’m sorry.” MC could hear Jaehee sigh on the other side of the call. “Let me guess… You’re still worrying about your date with Seven?” Jaehee inquired. “U-Ummm, no! Not one bit! And it’s NOT a date, Jaehee!” MC replied, trying her best not to show that she was lying. Jaehee sighed once again. “MC. Don’t lie to me. Everything’s going to be alright.” Jaehee said calmly to her close friend. “You… Are you sure? But what if…?” MC started to talk but Jaehee cut her off. “Everything is going to go perfectly. Trust me, MC. You and Seven get along great. For goodness sake, even Zen says that you two would make the perfect couple! Just go to sleep, MC. Everything’s going to be alright.” Jaehee soothed MC with her calm voice.

“A-Alright. I trust you, Jaehee…” MC replied, lying back down in her warm bed, pulling the comforter back over herself.

“That’s good to hear. Now go to sleep. You need rest. Good night, MC.”

“Goodnight, Jaehee.”
