Maybe

A hung over Paul, dolphins and clingy Biblee😁🥰

_______________

"So..who will you take to see the dolphins? Min Jae or me?"

He opened one eye to look at the clock on the table beside him. It's only 7 am.

"Good morning to you too, noona. Don't you think it's too early to call me for that?"

Damn. His hangover is killing him.

"Maybe. But I seem to recall it was me that brought up that topic on our group chat one time remember?"

The woman is relentless.

"Maybe. But noona is it really necessary to ask me that question at this time?"

Although he should be used to her habit of calling him at certain ungodly hours by now.

"Maybe. But you're choosing me right?"

Really relentless. If only 2020 didn't suck he would have asked her to pack in a heartbeat.

"Maybe. You're confidently asking me this knowing I'm crushing on you right?"

It was no secret to her and to their friends that he liked her. He wasn't one to mince his words and emotions. Maybe it's the Canadian side of him or he was just born that way.

"Maybe. Why do you sound all groggy? You went out drinking again didn't you?"

Ah the naggy Sung Kyung is out and he realized she's been doing this for quite a while now. His candour had never stopped her from being a worry wart to him and he couldn't help teasing her about it.

"Maybe. Do you know you sound like a nagging girlfriend noona?"

Momentary silence.

"Maybe. Do you want me to come over with a soup?"

Now he was fully awake. Forget the soup. That "maybe" was ringing loudly in his ears. Does this mean what he's been hoping for? Perhaps he should try an indirect question.

"Maybe. Does that soup come with anything else?"

Momentary silence again.

"Maybe. Will my mom's kimchi jjigae do?"

Hmm. Was she channeling Cha Eun Jae right now?

"Maybe. Are you bribing me noona?"

"Maybe. Are you ever going to stop calling me noona?"

Now he fully was up sitting on his bed headache forgotten.

"Maybe. If you ask me to. Are you saying we could cross that line?"

Damn. He was now taking lines from his character.

"Maybe...Yes."

There was no hesitation. There was softness in her voice.

Maybe 2020 isn't going to suck after all.

Fin.❤️
