"Hey, Bam, i-is anyone around you right now?"

"No..? Why?"

"Okay, good." He sighed and mumbled quietly in Korean, "I'm telling you because I might have a chance."

"Huh?" I didn't understand the last part he said.

"Nothing! I'm gonna to tell you something but you can't tell anyone. Promise?"

"I promise."

"You're sure?"

"Yes."

"You're super sure?"

I nodded. "Yes! Is it that top secret to not tell anyone?" I laughed.

He didn't laugh. This seemed to be serious.

There was a pregnant pause.

"I like you. OKAY BAII!" He yelled quickly in Korean.

And he hung up.

I dropped the phone, understanding every single word.

"W-what?"

***

It's been about a four to five months since Yugyeom had confessed to me. 

The day after he confessed to me, he told me at school, "Bam, please don't tell anyone what happened yesterday."

I gave a small smile, trying to play cool. "Yeah, sure." 

He nodded, "Thanks," and continued to talk to the others. 

You have no idea how awkward these past months have been. 

Well... Until today happened.
