Accept Decline
TAEMIN: Took you long enough.
The muffled, bumpy growling of what must be the inside of a pickup truck is heard in the background, while JINKYUNG's hasty fumbling around her laptop is heard as sharply high-pitched knocks of plastic on plastic. JINKYUNG sighs audibly, while her father complains with a muffled voice.
JINKYUNG'S FATHER: All this fog. How is this even summer?
JINKYUNG lets out a short giggle.
JINKYUNG: Yo, pretty boy.
TAEMIN: What?
JINKYUNG: Talk. I like your voice.
TAEMIN: Is this a confession?
A loud bang, followed by the screeching of tires and metal scratching pavement, interrupts their conversation. After some heavy tumbling of painted aluminum on concrete, JINKYUNG'S FATHER is heard groaning in pain.
TAEMIN: Jinkyung?
min5593: hey, jinkyung
TAEMIN: What's happening?
Soft sobs of a middle-aged man are heard in the background, while a muffled shuffling moves closer towards the microphone.
JINKYUNG'S FATHER: Jinkyung? Jinkyung!
The signal falters.
