Incoming call from 'Unknown Number'...

Call connected.

"Hello?! Sino 'to?"

"Is this Wonwoo?"

"Wait- Jihoon?!"

"Oh~ You know me. Great."

"Jihoon! It's me your bestfriend."

"Sorry, I can't remember you. But I saw your number on my old phone."

"Jihoon... miss na kita! Uwi ka na dito!"

"Wait! Hahaha! I can't understand your language. Can you speak english?"

"Jihoon! I miss you! When will you come back here?"

"Come back??? What do you mean? L.A is where I live! This is where I was born and I've never been to other places."

"Tch. Putangina talaga nyang nanay mo. Binrain-wash ka pa talaga."

"Wait. Brain wash? Who brainwashed who?"

"Ay hala! Ewan ko sa'yo! Putangina mo mahal kita Jihoon miss na kita!"

Call ended...

"Sino yun?" Tanong ni Joshua na kakapasok lang sa office namin.

"Unknown Number eh." Tipid kong sagot.

"Okay. Sabi mo eh. Alam kong si Jihoon yun." Sabi nya na ikinagulat ko.

"Lah! Pano mo nalaman?"

"Narinig kita."

". . ."

"Sorry di ko pa pwedeng sabihin sa'yo ang tungkol sa kakayahan ko."

"May sinasabi ka, Josh?"

"Wala ah." Tumingin lamang sya sa bintana. "Mag-trabaho ka na d'yan." Ngumiti s'ya at umalis.

It's been almost 10 years. And as more years have passed, they're just getting weirder.
