"Yong?" you whispered into the phone.

"Hmm?" replied the man on the other line. "Why are you so quiet? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you busy?"

"I wish I was!" he exclaimed. "I'm sitting in the dorm all by myself, bored out of my mind. The rest of the guys have a schedule while I'm just rotting on my bed."

"Yes!" you cheered.

He sat up after hearing the happiness in your voice. "Oh, someone's excited. Do you wanna join me?" he teased. You could almost see him smiling.

"Okay, okay, fine!" you exclaimed. Normally you'd argue with him about something like this, but you desperate to shut him up so he could leave sooner. "Just please come over! I will be forever grateful!"

"I'm on my way."
