"Jonghyun..."

"Oh, hey, Minki. I just finished my first cup of coffee. How did it go?"

"I. Just. Can't. Take. It. Anymore!"

"Wait, are you crying? Again? Why?"

"Why am I so stupid?"

"From our talks, you sounded like an intelligent-minded human being, but you are free to believe whatever it is you believe."

"Jonghyun?"

"Hmm?"

"Now is really not the time to joke around."

"Right. Sorry, my bad. Must be the coffee. It gives me unnecessary amount of wits. So how did it go?"

"That bastard--"

"Minhyun?"

"Who else?!"

"Right. Sorry, sorry. Do continue."

"He brings another bastard and the two bastards just stare at me like I'm some sort of amoeba--and then the first bastard opened his darn bastard mouth and said--"

"Er, sorry for interrupting again, Minki, but can we cut off the bastardity? I'm having trouble figuring out who's who. For example, who is the second bastard?"

"Why, Kim Jaehwan, of course."

"Riiight. You never told me about him. I didn't even know who he is."

"I did! He's--well, he is apparently Minhyun's boyfriend now!"

"Wait what?! Boyfriend?! Aw, Minki, I'm sorry that it didn't go the way you hope it would go."

"You're not supposed to say sorry, damn it! I didn't need your pity!"

"But I am not pitying you, though."

"You aren't? Ha! I bet you're thinking, 'stupid, stupid Minki! He's so stupid for thinking that he had a chance! He's a fool for thinking that Minhyun still loves him!' I bet you're cackling inside, don't you?!"

"You're ridiculous."

"I am. Maybe that's why Minhyun left me."

"Don't cry. So Minhyun invited you over to introduce you to Jaehwan? Sounds weird to me."

"No, he invited me over so that that boyfriend of his could threaten my ass."

"Threaten how?"

"Well, quoting him, 'I understand that you have a history with my boyfriend. However, it would be best if you stop calling him or we would have to report to the police'."

"Spoken like a true gentleman."

"Spoken like a true gentleman. It is as if he forgets that he's been calling my boyfriend for months when we're still together."

"I heard bitterness there."

"Oh, trust me. I am bitter. And the worst part of it all is that I couldn't be angry at Minhyun. I looked at him, and dammit, I still feel the butterflies flying in my stomach, the flutters--"

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't make out what you're saying through all the sobs. You know what will make you feel better?"

"I doubt anything could make me feel better, but shoot."

"Where are you now?"

"My apartment. What, are you going to come here and give me a comradely hug?"

"Do you have a refrigerator?"

"What kinda question is that?"

"Do you have it?"

"Well, the last time I checked, I have."

"Do you have whipped cream?"

"Whipped--Wha, Jonghyun! You wouldn't know how many wild thoughts are running in my head right now."

"Don't act all excited, it's slighy pervy. If you have it and you have a bottle of soju, take the both of them out of the fridge right now."

"Okay. I'm walking to the fridge right now. I'm setting the both of them in the counter as we speak. Now what?"

"Now you sprayed the whipcream into your mouth."

"O... Kay."

"Now you take a large gulp of soju. It will taste like heaven, believe me."

"I can't! It's weekdays!"

"Ssh. I won't tell your intestines. Just follow my instructions, and you'll feel better in no time."
