Dream

2: The Crazy Idea

"Let's keep in touch." Sungjae answers. 

"I'd like that. But how to reach you?" Joys asks again.

Sungjae writes a phone number on a tissue and gives it to Joy. "This. You can send me messages to this number" Sungjae answers. "But please don't spread the number, okay?"

"Arasseo. I promise," Joy assures.

'Let's see what she will do with it,' Sungjae wonders if she will be a reliable friend. Wonder if he'll ever get messages from her. Joy types the phone number on her mobile phone.

"Don't tell anyone about this number, Joy-ssi. It's really a real phone number." Sungjae emphasises his words.

"Don't worry. I won't."

"Can you memorise it?," Sungjae asks.

"Why? I saved it in my phone already."

"Because it might be erased from your phone," he reasons. 

"Okay. I'll do it." Joy finally says. She doesn't understand Sungjae's request, but she's doing anyway since she wants to send messages to Sungjae. '010-2104-4110. 010-2104-4110.' She repeats those numbers in her mind before suddenly, she gets a message on silent from her mother asking her to go back to hotel room. 'Aish, eomma, why now (you're asking me to go back)..' Joy sighs s lot and looking down, she isn't happy that she has to stop meeting Sungjae.

"Joy-ssi, it's okay if you can't remember it" Sungjae finally says looking worried seeing Joy.

Joy sees Sungjae with sad eyes and her lips pout. She sighs again. "It's not that. I have to go back to my room now. My mom just messaged me (to go back to my room)." Joy sighs again, not willing to go from her seat. "Anyway, I'll go now. Thank you for letting me to sit here. I'm so happy that I get to see you and I'll send messages to you later." She bows to Sungjae. "Please rely my thank you to Eunkwang too. Goodbye." She bows again.

"Sure. I'll wait your messages. See you soon." Sungjae smiles and bows.

Joy stands from her seat and bows again before turning her back and leaves the table. 'See you soon?,' she thinks. 'Will we meet again?, she thought as she thinks today's meeting is just a coincidence.

'Well, I don't mind to meet him again since I'll be happy if it happens anyway. 010-2104-4110. 010-2104-4110.' She's repeating the number in her mind again. 

She keeps repeating it until she starts to realise that it is just a dream. 'Argh, I thought I met him for real,' she thinks. As she decides to wake up, she takes a paper and writes the number on a paper and looking at it.

'Ck. It's not even saved on my phone for real. Luckily, I do what Sungjae says. But.. Is it really a real phone number or just an imaginary?'

--------------------------------

'Hi, I know it sounds ridiculous, but I got this number from my dream last night. Could you please let me know if you're Sungjae?' - Joy.

Joy sends her first message to the number that she gets in her dream which actually sounds absurd. However, the way Sungjae talks not to spread it makes she thinks it's possibly a real number.

Joy looks at her phone several times, checking if she gets any reply from that number. However, she hasn't got any messages until now. Looking at Joy checks her phone constantly,

"Are you waiting for messages from someone?" Yeri asks.

"Eh? Yes.." Joy answers.

"Who?"

"Just someone."

"Someone who? A guy?" Yeri curious.

"Maybe," Joy answers as she doesn't know to whom that number really belongs.
