"Let's see..."


I opened my RINE app and typed in the ID.


The first person to pop up in the search results 

had a red cloud as the profile pic.


This must be it...


A spark of anxiety swelled within my heart,

as my fingers hovered precariously over the "add friend" button.


Will he know if it's me?

What do I do if it's the wrong person?

But he couldn't possibly be clumsy enough to give me the wrong ID, right?


I zoomed in on the profile pic of the cloud

to check for possible clues.


Okay,

there has to be hint somewhere...


Besides the cloud,

I could find nothing else.


Ah, whatever.

I'll just do it.



I clicked the button...

and waited...

and waited...

and waited...


Five minutes passed...

Ten...

Fifteen...


"Maybe it's the wrong person after al-"


...ping!


Gah!


Alarmed by the unexpected noise after a long period of no response,

I chucked my phone across my bed.


It landed with a soft thud, 

muted by a downy clutter of blankets.


Still unsure about what I had just heard,

I prodded at my phone as if it was a dangerous object waiting to detonate.



Another 'ping! 'resounded in the room.


I flipped my phone over to look at the messages.
