     JOEUN IS SURE she's in love.

"Hello, this is Campus Tech Support, how can I help you?"

It's a Sunday night, and Joeun has the house to herself. Yeonjung is out shopping, and she has no plans for the night aside from watching Sailor Moon — at least, until she remembers that she accidentally knocked water all over her laptop last week in the coffee shop.

"Do you know how to fix a waterlogged computer?" Joeun asks, her words doubtful.

"Waterlogged computer?" The voice on the other end asks, with what sounds like amusement coating his tone. Joeun perks up at the familiar timbre, unable to stop the smile that blooms upon her face.

"You know, Si, every week you call with some new problem. Are you sure you're not trying to make up excuses to talk to me?"

Joeun rolls over onto her stomach, kicking her feet up in the air.

"Of course not, how desperate do you think I am?" She replies. The answer is very, but he doesn't need to know that...

"So you're telling me you're just naturally this clumsy?" He asks.

"And what if I am?" Joeun jibes back.

The truth is, she isn't — not really. I mean, the first time she called, it really was because she couldn't figure out how to submit her assignment online. And then the next time, it's because her email on her phone wasn't working and for the life of her, she couldn't figure it out.

But eventually, Joeun found herself making up excuses to call and talk to the cute boy on the other line, who she eventually ended up calling Win.

This time, though, she doesn't have to make up an excuses.

"Well, lucky for you, I do know how to fix a waterlogged computer," Win tells her.

In the background, she can hear the clacking of keys as she types something on his laptop.

"...Okay, so how do I fix it?"

"You'll have to take out eh batter and let it air dry," he tells her. "You can try to use a fan to dry it, but don' t use a blowdryer, otherwise you might melt the battery."
