after a while of contemplating, i decided to stay at my school mate hani's place, seeing as going home still didn't seem like a very good idea.

i walked up to her door, checking the time on my phone. it read;

11:58 pm

as tired as i was, i still walked in the door as soon as she opened it, muttering a small hello to hani who had been left at home alone for the past week.

"you're lucky my parents aren't here, otherwise they'd never let you stay overnight. they probably would've called your mom already, too."

i sighed and plopped down on her couch. that would be my bed for the night.

i checked the time on my phone again, praying it somehow went back in time so i could catch up on my sleep.

11:59 pm
new message from: unknown

curious, i sat up on hani's couch, opening my messages.

unknown
hey ;)

unknown
it's jaemin

me
oh hey :)

me
how'd you get my number?

unknown
from a friend

me
oh okay, let me add you in
my contacts real quick

daddy jae
okay.

daddy jae
did you do it yet?

me
yep. it looks perfect :)

"sooyoung!"

hani's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and i turned to look up at her.

"whats wrong with you? i've called your name twice now."

"sorry, i was texting someone." i said, sitting up momentarily to fix my pillows.

"who?" she asked, walking over to me.

"actually, i don't really know him. i just met him at the coffee shop." i replied.

"it's a him? okay, you have to give me his number." she said, plopping down on the couch next to me.

"what? no! that's an invasion of privacy!" i whisper-yelled at her.

"there's nobody else in this house besides us, sooyoung, there's no need to whisper."

"fine. THAT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY." i yelled, getting closer to her face. she exaggeratedly coughed and made a face as if my breath stunk.

"gross. i didn't mean that you had to yell." she said, crossing her arms.

"well, i'm telling you, i'm not giving you a stranger's number." i said.

"then ask him." she suggested, gesturing at my phone.

"ask him....what?" i looked at her, almost sure that i knew what she wanted.

"ask him if i can have his number. then it's not an invasion of privacy, right?"

i looked at her in confusion, before finally giving in.

"fine. i'll ask him."

she squealed in excitement as i turned on my phone again.

me
hey, so, my friend wants
your number

daddy jae
so?

me
so, i cant give it to her,
right? that's an invasion
of privacy.

daddy jae
nah, give her my number.
as long as she's not some
creepo.

me
oh no, she's not, don't
worry. she's a good
friend of mine.

daddy jae
is she breathtaking too?

me
uhh...

daddy jae
well? is she?

me
sorry, you just called me
breathtaking, i'm still
recovering.

daddy jae
damn. has nobody ever
called you breathtaking before?

me
sorry, can't say they have.

daddy jae
damn. what a shame.
it's their loss, trust me.

daddy jae
so, back to my question, is
she beautiful like you?

me
i guess you could say that.
i mean, she's definitely prettier
than me.

daddy jae
prettier than you?
i didn't think that was possible.

daddy jae
if she's really all that, then go
ahead. give her my number.

me
alright, i put your contact
in her phone

daddy jae
dang, that fast? your fingers
could run the boston marathon
i stg

me
she's been looking over my
shoulder the whole time ksjsks
she was just waiting to finish
writing your name until you
confirmed it was okay.

daddy jae
oh! speaking of, i have a couple
friends who want your number
as well.

me
really!? like who?

daddy jae
a couple of them go to your
school. i don't, but they told me
they've seen you around.

me
like...who?

daddy jae
a boy named renjun, there's one named donghyuck, and one named jeno.

me
dang, that many?

daddy jae
yeah, you're a real eye
catcher, apparently. they all wanna get to know you

daddy jae
i guess no one was smart enough
to catch onto that before us.

me
hey, alright, well, give them
my number. if none of us end
up together, at least i have some
new friends, right?

daddy jae
that's the spirit!
