Narration

Namjoon slumped on his desk chair after sending the mail to IAmThomas. He was still curious on the person's identity and was suspicious of Park Jihyo. He has a feeling that it was her, all the clues pointed to the possibility.

He was walking around his room still thinking of the person. He had already finished his homework and outputs earlier so he could think about the mysterious person he was talking to. His phone rang as he was still pacing.

He picked it up and looked at the caller id. Unknown. That was flashed on his screen. Should I answer or not? Maybe its IAmThomas. Maybe I should answer? As he was talking to himself his phone rang again.

"Hi. Who's this? Namjoon speaking." As finished speaking he heard squealing in the other end of the line and the call ended. Bewildered, he called the number again but he received no answer, all he heard was ringing.

"Curious," he told himself.

...

"He has nice voice Seungwannie," Seulgi said.

"I still don't get why you called him," Wendy, or as her friends call her Seungwannie, said.

"They want to know if he has a nice voice," Irene said. "But why did he introduce himself. He hasn't saved your number yet?" Irene faced Wendy, who was now calm about it. Everything was over, the call was over after all.

"We haven't exchange numbers yet."

"Why do you have his number then?" Yeri asked, raising a brow, she held Wendy's phone during the call. The younger handed the phone back and looked at Wendy. Her look had a lot of curiosity and teasing on it.

"Jin added his number," Wendy defended. "I kinda want to thank him for it now," she added, thinking to herself.

"Just give him pictures of his face like a photobook of some sort," Seulgi said, waving her hand in the air.

"Seulgi!" the others yelled.

"I was kidding," Seulgi defended. Her friends just rolled their eyes at her, all their thoughts saying one thing. That she really was called nojam(no fun) for a reason.

"Cooking utensils," Irene suggested out of the blue. They were teasing Seulgi but after hearing Irene Wendy went to the door saying she needs to buy some.

"You can buy them tomorrow," Joy said, this didn't stop her from going out the door.

"Let her be. She has practice tomorrow," Irene told the younger and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. "She won't have time to buy tomorrow."

...

"We need jelly!" Nayeon and Momo said at the same time. They were pointing to the strawberry jelly on the isle a few meters away.

"No!" Jeongyeon strongly disagreed. The 2 people, one older than her and one a few months younger pouted. "You already had some on the way, anymore and you won't want to eat dinner."

"I wouldn't miss dinner for the world," Momo protested but still got no as answer. "Stingy Jeongyeon." She was still sulking and pouting about the jelly.

"You two remember why were here?" Jeongyeon looked at the 2 people pouting beside her.

"Because Nayeon broke Jihyo's favorite mug and we are here to buy another one," Momo proudly said. She was proud that she remembered and as a reward for this rare occasion Jeongyeon promised to buy her 2 packs of jelly tomorrow.

"Why?" Nayeon whined.

"Becuase she remembered the reason. This a rare occasion," Jeongyeon told them and walked to the mugs and cups section. "Plus we're here because of you."

"You know I don't want to see Jihyo angry and I don't wanna walk alone to the supermarket just to bug a mug," Nayeon explained.

"Jeongyeon look," Momo said pointing to a person that was bent over looking at a box of forks. The person looked familiar in the eyes of the 3.

"Hey!" Wendy waved at them. She walked to them and asked, "I came to buy cooking utensils for Jin, how about you?"

"Nayeon broke Jihyo's mug so we're here to buy another one," Jeongyeon said. Nayeon slapped Joengyeon forearm while glaring at her. "Why are you buying stuff for Jin?"

"He did me a favor. Remember Namjoon? Jin saved his phone number on my phone and now I-" Here words were cut off when they heard Momo yell that Jihyo was calling. Nayeon started to panic, Momo was contemplating whether to answer the call or not. Jeongyeon took the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hi Hyo. Nayeon broke your favorite mug and we're here on the supermarket to buy you another one," Jeongyeon immediately said once Jihyo's face appeared.

"So that's why there were broken pieces of it everywhere on the kitchen counter. Where's Nayeon?"

...

"Where's Nayeon?" Jihyo asked Jeongyeon who was on screen. She called because she was worried where her friends might be. They told her that they were gonna get something and it has been 30 minutes since they excused themselves.

"Hi," Nayeon's face appeared on screen. She was looking away at the camera and was playing with her fingers. Guilty was the word Jihyo described her. She really was the one who broke my cup, Jihyo thought.

"You can go back. I have a spare mug here," Jihyo said. "I bought like a bunch of it because its my favorite and in case this happens."

"Really?" Nayeon asked, her eyes filled with hope. The younger nodded, smiling widely. "You forgive me?" The younger nodded again. "Thank you." Nayeon was jumping with joy at the news.

"Hi Ji." The voice sounded familiar to her. Wendy? That was the first name that came out on her mind and mouth. "Yeah."

"Hi! What are you doing there?" The video mobed from facing Nayeon to facing Wendy.

"I wanted to buy Jin some cooking utensils for doing me a favor."

"And what favor was that?"

"He added Namjoon's number on my phone," Wendy said. "Wait! You do a little bit of cooking don't you?"

"Yeah. Why'd you ask?"

"What do you think I should buy?" Jihyo thought for a second but was interrupted when Jeongyeon replied.

"How about pictures of his face?" Jeongyeon was laughing at what she said.

"Now I get why you're friends with Seulgi. You both are no fun," Wendy said, hints of teasing in her tone.

"I don't know Wendy. I don't know him that well but since you asked my opinion I'd recommend a knife," Jihyo said.

"Why a knife though?"

"Because they are frequently used in everything so they get dull fast."

"OK, thanks Ji."

"No problem." Wendy gives the phone back to Jeongyeon and left after saying her goodbyes to the three.

"Now what?" Nayeon asked looking at Jihyo.
