Why don't we match hair colors so we know how much we're suited for each other?

miss uyu
I'm scared of destroying my hair 😭
Hey, you replied after 12 hours!
You're tired, aren't you?
Just go on and rest.

bogoshiptae
I didn't expect this day to be all out tiring
But it was fun to perform a lot today ♡
Congratulations on your song production! Is it a workshop?
I know you'll do great.

miss uyu
omg I shared it.....
Well, I trust you anyways.
It's a special project. ;)

bogoshiptae
Can I call you instead?
I need to recharge and it has been scientifically proven that your voice heals an exhausted person that is Kim Taehyung

miss uyu
You can just ask geez
You really have to go lengths for the pickup line

bogoshiptae
Like you didn't know me well already

miss uyu
hmpf true

Even before Taehyung can press the call button beside Jennie's name, his phone rang first. He stared first at her contact photo, admiring the catlike features and little hearts on her cheeks, before, smiling, swiping the Accept button.

"And there goes my fixer upper."
From sitting on his bed, he laid flat on his cushions, phone on his right ear. He could hear her small giggle from the other line.

"And there goes the popular Kim Taehyung on my other line."

"I think you've switched 'the' and 'my'."

"You know what? I'll never ever be ready for your pickup lines."
She paused, and stressed every syllable:
"E. Ver."

He can only chuckle. He sighed. What relief she brings.
"Still in Korea?"

"Yup. But flight to the US is tomorrow. How about you? Where are you?"

"At the elevator going down our company building."

He jerked up, eyes wide. He scratched the back of his head.
"You're still out? At this late night?"

"I should be asking why you're still awake at this time when clearly you should be resting."

"I wanted to talk to you."
He held his chest, massaging it in circles; with her situation, he felt his heart throbbing faster.
"And now I'm worried about your safety."

"Awww, sweetie. Don't be."
He heard a faint ding, probably from the elevator. Later on, a choking sound. She chuckled from the other line, before he heard a thump and a growl.
"Get a life, Kim Hanbin."

"If I'm going to be as cheesy as you, mandu, I'd rather die alone."

"Idiot."

He smiled. Was it a slip-of-the-tongue or intentional that she called him sweetie? It was probably her first time to call him something else, other than his name or chat name.

Will he resist pinching her cheeks if he was with her? Surely not.

"That was Kim Hanbin. He's going with me until the driveway. That's my best friend for you."

"Hello, he-who-must-not-be-name because we're still at company premises so no one can hear!"

He could clearly hear the whisper of the other guy on the line. He probably went near the microphone of her phone. He chuckled. Now he doesn't doubt this really is Jennie's best friend; their quirks are the same.

"You can reevaluate your life decisions if you really want to----AAAAAHHHHHH fine fine stop tugging my hair!"

"Here's the van already! Run up again before I kill you!"
He heard the opening of her van door.
"Thank you, you freak. Don't tire yourself too much up there."

"Of course, mandu. Hurry up."

"Your friendship with Hanbin-ssi is really crazy."

"That's because we're both crazy. So, are you ready to sleep already?"

"Hmmm, am I? Well, I felt I heard a radio drama hearing you two banter. That's 'storytime' off my checklist."

"Then there's one thing left, isn't it?"

He wanted to answer, but words did not came out of his mouth; instead, a yawn. A looooooong yawn, making his eyes teary. Realizing what he did, he shook his head. When about to apologize, a yawn came out again, uncontrollable for him.

He got ready for a scolding from the woman on the other line; instead, she was silent.

Uh oh. Is she mad?

"Tonight,"
She hushed, a familiar tone coming out of her mouth. Once again, as always, she surprised him.
"I'll send the glow of a firefly
to somewhere near your window
It's that I love you..."

Her voice was a soft breeze, caressing his skin, easing the tensions molded on his insides. As if on cue yet in daze, he set the call on loudspeaker, and his back on his mattress. He turned his body to his right, where his phone was. He felt she was lying beside him, humming his favorite IU song.

And hell, she remembered that he loved that song.

"Just like letters on the sand
where waves were
I feel you'll disappear
To a far off place
I always miss you miss you

All the words
In my heart
I can't show them all to you
But, it's that I love you

How can I be so lucky
to have met you, who is a blessing
If we're together now
Ah how great it'd be"

She smiled upon hearing the snores she had long been waiting since she started singing. Ignoring the piercing looks of her manager on the driver's seat, she tilted her head, as if Taehyung's head rests on her lap.

"Good night, sweetie."
