"Sup, RM?"

"I thought you couldn't save my number?"

"I learnt it by heart by now."

"I should be creeped out, but I'm not."

"I have your number, but you don't have mine."

"Are you going to give it to me?"

"And what will you name me? Hotline Girl?"

"Oh yeah, we need to fix that. Did you think of anything?"

"Hey, that's your job, not mine."

"I came up with RM, you have to come up with a name for yourself too!"

"Hah, that's a lot of work!"

"You lazy little."

"Who said I'm little?"

"What year are you in?"

"'M a junior like you."

"Oh wow, really?"

"No, I'm kidding. P.S., note the sarcasm."

"Haha, very funny."

"So what's up today?"

"Nothing, just wanted to talk to you. Hear your voice, y'know?"

Smiles, "That's sweet of you."

"Apparently, that's my charm point."

"Yeah? I haven't tasted so much of your sweet, so I don't know~"

"Don't tease me. You have many chances in the future to 'taste my sweetness'."

"I'll be waiting."

"So, how are you?"

"Considering you have called me again, I am actually very well."

"What, do you wait for my calls so much?"

"Yeah, unfortunately, I do."

Laughs, "Who would've thought."

Grins, "Yeah, who would've thought. I do like talking to you. It's.... refreshing."

"True, I feel the same way."

"We've become unlikely friends, haven't we?"

"So we have."

Teases, "Are you ready to give me your real name then?"

"I actually think I'm pretty ready."

"..."

"What, you thought I wasn't?"

"..." "Kinda, yeah. Are you sure about that?"

"Of course. Only if you tell me your name, of course."

Squeaks, "Me? RM, no, I am so sorry, I am not allowed."

"Aw, that's sad."

"I know this isn't a fair bargain, but if you tell me your name, I'll come up with a petname for me."

"Okay, that's fine with me."

"Wait, seriously?!"

"Yeah, I am okay with it."

"You're too nice; I promise I'll ask one of the teachers if I can tell you my identity."

"Take your time."

"Thanks, RM. So, are you ready?"

"Yeah, just give me a second." Clears throat, "Promise you won't try searching for me?"

Surprised, "Ohkay, if you want that."

"Right, um, my name is Namjoon... I don't think you know me, I mean, nobody really does."

"..."

"Uh, hey, you there?"

"..."

"..." "Do you know me?"

"..." "Shit."

"Oh no."

"I, I gotta go, I promise, I am not angry or anything, I just, I-"

"Yeah, it's okay."

"You're amazing, it's not because of you, I swear." Scuffling in the background, "I can't talk now, something came up. Shit, I'm so sorry, just, bye, RM. Talk to you later."

*hangs up*

Disheartened, "Yeah, talk to you later."
