It was 19:43 P.M. in Seoul.

London is around 8 hours behind Seoul. So if my calculations are correct, it is 11:43 in London. The guys may have schedule right now, so I'll try to call Mi-Sun.

The other side was ringing.

Once, twice and three times.

I began to think that maybe she will not answer me. Perhaps she is busy, or doing their makeup so she cannot pickup.

But exactly when I was about to hang up, I stopped my finger from hitting the 'end call' button. She picked up.

"Hello? Lucy-ah?" Her curious voice was heard through my phone.
"Oh! Mi-Sun unnie!"

Now you're probably wondering why am I calling her unnie if I hate honorifics?
See, the point I am trying to make is that younger ones should not be so intimidated by elders. In my opinion, just speaking in a respectful speech and having some manners is what's important.

However, Mi-Sun is older then me in almost 6 years. I call her unnie because she feels better like that. Either I call her unnie or I speak to her formally. Except the times she annoys me.

"Oh my god! Lucy it's you!" No way she is THAT happy to hear me. Coming in 3...2...1.. "First of all, HOW DARE YOU LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE?!" There it is.

"I had no choice. Band PD- nim called me all the sudden and asked me to come back quickly to Korea in order to help a debuting boy band."
"oh TXT?"
"Yeah. One of their members is unwell, so I will help them debut and then I will be able to come back."

"Everyone here are wondering why did you leave! I keep explaining to them all, and to be honest it's quite exhausting..."
"Hahah I'm sorry. But I never left. I am just elsewhere."
"What is the difference? You are not here."
"Leaving, for me at least, is not coming back. But I will, I believe in 2 weeks more or less."
"I miss you already! I have no one to irritate!"

"I am sure there are plenty of people who would (not) love to be irritated by you hehe." I let out a small giggle.
"I am quite sure. So how is it there?"
"Well, first of all, it's nice to be back to my old apartments. I have been in many hotel rooms, but none of them beats my apartment!"
"Of course! There is no place like home!"
"I know right? Second, the guys seem nice. YeonJun is really nice, I actually really connected with him."
"Oh isn't it that kid who got unwell?"
"Yeah that's him. I figured out what was wrong."
"What?"
"Sorry, confidential."
"Oh come one! It's me!"
"Nope, sorry. I keep secrets well, unlike you."
"Hey! Well... that's true. Well, I believe that if you figured it out, it's halfway solved."
"It will be."

"Soooo.... now for the actual question." Her voice got pitched and I could feel her 'ear to ear' smile all the way from London.
"Oh boy... here it comes."
"What happened with RM? Tell.me.everything."
"Nothing! We were just having fun at the fair." I tried so hard to lie, but you should know that I am not so good at lying.
"Oh? And the way he has behaved since you left and your tone suggests otherwise."

Is he behaving oddly? Really? Huh... that... interesting.

"He is just shocked that it happened so quickly that is all."
"What happened so quickly?"
"The fact that I was gone like an hour later! Eww Mi-Sun you are such a pervert!"
"What? I am just examining the options!"
"Well stop it please, I am uncomfortable with it."
"You are no fun. Okay then, since you are not willing to share this piece of information with me, them maybe RM will."

"Uh! Well, I..."
I actually did not know what to respond to this since I had no idea what will he say.
I think he will not say that we've... you know... kissed. But I think he might imply that something has happened. I don't know why, but I do not want anybody to know about this. I cannot find a reason why not, but I just don't want it out.

"So that implies to me that something did happen. I got my answer, thank you for your service!"
"You are becoming more and more like me, and I do not like it."
"It's nice to be cunning, I quite like it."
"Oh shhh you evil unnie! Just move to another topic please!"
"Hahaha fine."

Aside from her little trick, she told me that tae tae was very upset today. She did not see him smile not even once, and at the talk show, he faked smile so badly that it was shown.

Considering the fact that I left him a letter with no actual goodbye, is very upsetting.

Her description reminds me a bit of a puppy. When you have to leave the house for school or work, he is always so sad and begs you to come along. But when you come back home, he is in euphoria.

"I will send him a video, I really cannot remain up since I have work tomorrow very early and I am quite tired. Tell him that I am sorry I could not talk to him and that he should check his phone."
"No problem. Take care Lucy-ah!"
"You too unnie!"

With that note, I ended the call.
I immediately opened the camera to film a short video for tae tae.

*recording*

"Tae tae! How are you? I am fine if you're asking. So as you can see, I am back in Seoul. I was rushed here because a member from TXT is unwell. I just saw him today, and I must be honest he is really unwell. I am doing my best efforts in thinking of a solution."

"I am sorry I could not say bye... i was in such a rush, I was not sure wether I'll make it to the flight or not! And you were so exhausted so I did not want to wake you up... I am sorry if you are upset. I will make it up for you when I come back okay? I promise."

"You have to promise me one thing though, that you will take care okay? Be safe, do your best, and of course most importantly: never forget to smile. Okay?"

"I need to go now. Bye! Miss you soooooo much!!!"

I blew a kiss to the camera and then pressed on pause. I tried my best to make my smile in the video as true as possible, but the thought of tae tae sad made me shed a small tear. I am sorry that I hurt him, but I had no choice.

All that thoughts made me so hungry, that I did not even realized it. I would not have if my stomach wouldn't have made such a loud noise now.
Ohh... I AM hungry. Okay then, I'll make something.
I opened the fridge and noticed that I have nothing. And by that I mean NOTHING.

Well of course Lucy... you were away of course it's empty. God I am stupid.

Fine, so I'll go out to buy some.

In the area, there where a lot of stores. Some for cloths, cafés, groceries. It was next to a main street, so I was not so scared to walk out alone late at night. Of course I am not so dumb and walk bare skined, in an ally. I walk in crowed places, covered up, pacing pretty fast.

On my way, I saw a shy girl, with cute, thin framed glasses holding a pink box with a yellow ribbon. The box is quite pretty, I can tell it was handmade. Oh It's also attached with a note. Then it's probably a gift for someone. Well he or she is quite lucky.

Okay, don't judge me, but I kinda want to see what is she going to do.

I swear I am not a stalker! I am just curious...

She sat at a bench in front of the road, looking around all the time. She is probably waiting for someone.

After a few minutes, a boy with a black hoodie came and stood in front of her. She immediately stood up and greeted him. I think he might be older then her in a few years from the way she greeted him.

Uhh I cannot hear anything and I cannot move closer! I really do not like not knowing things, but it is weird already that I am standing like that, pretending to be on my phone.

She then offered him the box, and he stretched the back oh his neck and lowered his head. Kinda reminds me of RM whenever he is embarrassed.

Wait.

A pretty box with a note? The girl is shy? The guy is embarrassed?

I think she is... confessing to him.

Oh please, please accept!

A few moments later, she hugged him and he ate what appears to be cupcakes with a heart shaped fondant on top of the frosting.

Oh.my.god.

I-I think I m-may have found a solution.
Not only for YeonJun's problem, but for Jimin's problem as well.
