Happen In Time

KAYCEE

I woke up at midnight due to the light coming from my phone. Someone is calling me.

I grab my phone, remove the charger and answer the phone.

"Yea?......" I answer the call even if my voice almost couldn't make a voice.

[Hi.] The person says.

"You woke me up to just say hi!?"

[Why so aggressive, babe?]

"Sean!?" I could feel myself fully awake because of him.

[I've missed your voice.]

"My voice huh?"

He then chuckles.

"Why'd you call so late?"

[It's because I'm worried.]

"Yeah."

[By the way, I saw your post on IG. How's Bailey?

"Hmm.. Getting better, I think."

[Good to hear. How about you?]

"Great.. Always with the squad."

[Even Gabe?]

"Hmmm."

[I wanna hug you now, Kay.]

"Then come home, you dummy."

[I will. Soon..]

"Now you don't wanna tell me?"

[It's because I wanna surprise you.]

"Aren't you tired?"

[Not till I'm talking to you.]

"You're being so cheesy tonight, Sean."

[Are you sleepy?]

"Kinda..."

[Then get some sleep now..]

"And you too, Mister..."

He chuckles again.

[I love you Kay.]

"I love you,too. Be safe okay?"

[I will.]

I woke up and today is another day...

Yeah... Just another ordinary day, all alone in the house.

It's already 11 am and I just take a bath since it's weekend.

After taking a bath, I pick my Nike green sweat and a track shorts. Since I'm all alone, I'm gonna watch 'Friends' again.

While the TV is processing, I go to the kitchen, open the fridge and take out the kettlecorn inside. I put it in the bowl and go to the living room. I sit at the sofa and was about to start when the door bell rings.

I stand up and open it.

"Hey there, Kaycee!"

"Gabe! What a surprise."

"Yeah..."

"Well, come in."

So, he comes in and I was the one who closes the door behind.

"So, home alone huh?"

"Yup. So, what males you visit?"

"Well, Tati says that we should visit you... She'll be here in a minute."

"Oh well, I'm gonna watch Netflix."

"Then I have no choice but to join you."

I press play and we start watching...

A couple of minutes later, the doorbell rings.

I open the door revealing Tati..

"Hey Tati!" I greeted. She smiles at me them back inside, maybe looking at Gabe.

Wait a minute.... Something smells fishy.

TATI

As I look at her and imagining them sitting each other makes me more angry.. Yes, I like Gabe.. I really do.

"Is that Tati already?" I heard Gabe shouts.

"Yup... It's me sweetie." I say as I made myself in.

After watching, we call Bailey and Josh and they arrive an hour later.

"So guys, what are we doing here?"

"I would like to do the reunion soon." Gabe says.

"Sounds fun. But why too early?" Josh ask.

"It's because were fixing schedules for Bailey before she leaves." Kaycee says.

I then felt the sudden guilt of building hatred to Kaycee.

What can I do? I like Gabe. But, I don't want our friendship go to waste because of my immaturity.

"So, who else can we call?" I ask.

"Should we still call him?" Kaycee ask. We all look at Bailey.

"It's not my party, you guys... He's still a part of the squad."

"Bailey's right." Gabe says.

"I don't want any trouble." Kaycee demands with disagreement. Does she have hatred over Ken now?"

"I can say you hate Ken." Gabe says.

"I just can't accept his actions, guys..." Kaycee defends.

SEAN

"So, if I go home, you're coming with me?"

"Yup. But thank you for keeping this as a secret."

"No problem. But please assure me that you'll be okay with Bailey."

"I want to.. And I'll do everything to have her back."

"So, you both really did broke up?"

"Nope. I never did agree."

And then a message from Kaycee pops up. I smile and hurriedly open it.

Fr: KAYCEE

Hey Sean! We've planned about the reunion and we've decided that it'll be this Saturday before Bailey leaves.

After reading the last part, I look at Ken with worry.

"What?"

I show him my girlfriend's message that made his eyes widen.

"She's leaving?"

So I text her back.

To: Kaycee

She's leaving? You mean, going back to Korea?

Fr: Kaycee

Yeah. Tati and I tried to make her change her mind but she's eager to fulfill her plans.

To: KAYCEE

Thanks for the update babe. I'll book a flight. I don't wanna miss our reunion.

So, I start to pack my stuff. Today is Thursday.

"We better come with a plan now Ken. Or you're chance will expire."

"I know.. I'll book a flight right away."

So, he did the booking of flight, only to find out that our flight will be tomorrow at 7. Urrgghhh!

"So Ken, you ready to face Bailey again?" I ask.

"I've been ready before. I just want us to talk."

"And I hope you will."
