LMH's car, highway
2 pm.

The road was long and snowy. It was the last day of Seollal. They were on their way to Grandma Kim.

The three of them were having a blast after the dramatic moment of the day with Eonnie Kim. But for some reasons, their happiness seemed never to last long. Another possible dramatic moment occurred. LMH and KB wished this drama would never happen.

Incoming call
Miss A

LMH's eyes were bulging.
KB eyes were squinted. He tried to read the name again and again and wished he was mistaken.

Jinjihage?
'THE' Miss A?
Your miss ex? a.k.a BS?
What will it be, hyeong?
What should we do now?
Aigoooo...This is not good!!
Shall I pretend that she calls me?
But how can she call me?
What reason?
Eotteoke??

LMH wished that he didn't put his phone on the phone holder. But now it was too late. For a brief moment, the two boys didn't breathe. LMH tried to be relaxed and kept one hand on the driving wheel while the other held KGE's hand steady. KGE moved her head to get a closer look at the name that appeared on the screen.

"Aren't you going to answer this Miss A, sanbaenim?" KGE's calm and clear voice startled the two stunned boys. She glanced at LMH, who seemed to have problems with his eyes.
They blinked too much now.
KGE wondered. 
KB gulped.

Haissshh!!
Why should you call?
Don't you have someone else to call?
Don't tell me it's another SNS bullshits again.
Or do you think you need to greet me on this Seollal day?

"Should I answer her for you, sanbaenim?" KGE's cheerful tease at LMH let KB bit his lip. KB thought that he could faint right there for LMH. There might be a world war Z in the making if KGE knew who this Miss A was. KB didn't dare to imagine the chaos. 

"I don't think I need to answer her." LMH couldn't find any good reason not to answer Miss A's call rather than that. But he didn't want to lie either. 

"Sanbaenim, if someone called you, that means it's either important or not important at all. And I want to know which one. And who is this Miss A? You look nervous." KGE paused. She tried to read LMH's gesture before she continued saying, 

"Is it someone from your office? Or... Is she your client from somewhere? Or... is she someone important to you?" KGE babbled as her eyes kept staring at LMH's face from aside.

KB got his heart jumped to hear KGE's question. He thought that she might listen to its thumping.

Aigooooo...
Eotteoke??
What should I do?
Keep strong, hyeong!
I can't help you right now.
I'm not going to take your side either, though.
Baby Gon must be feeling curious about this Miss A. 
And for Heaven's sake! Why do you still keep her number?!

Call ended.
1 missed call.
Miss A

"Yaaah... you let her call ends! Are you keeping a secret from me, Imino?" KGE glared at her mute boyfriend. KB's heartbeat ran even faster now as if it was him that had been questioned.

"I'm not. Why should I, baby?"LMH answered calmly. 
"Then why you let the call ended?" KGE sulked. 
"I don't think it's important to answer her, I told you." LMH firmly answered.
"Is it her or the thing she might say that is NOT important?" KGE didn't let it go. 
"Both." LMH briefly answered. His hand held KGE's hand even tighter. 
"And why you hold my hand tighter now?" KGE questioned him suspiciously as she raised their intertwined hands.
"Because I love you..." LMH smiled.
