A/N: I've always wanted to try a different kind of storytelling format, so here is my attempt at one. I hope it'll be bearable for you readers. Mijoo's messages are on the left and Yein's messages are on the right.

Hey, Yein.

Yes unnie?

What are you doing right now?

I'm watching TV. Reruns of this old show that aired last year I think.

Cool. Is it any good?

It's kind of boring actually. But I don't really have anything better to do.

I'm staying home all day today. Supposedly, temperatures tonight are going to drop a lot.

Really? Stay warm.

I will be sure to do that. So what are you doing right now?

Not much. Just sending text messages to you.

Are you bored too?

Of course. But like you, there's not a lot I can do either.

Are you at home? Wanna videochat?

Sorry, I can't. I'm not at home right now. But I'll keep texting you.

So you won't be lonely.

Although my messages will sometimes be delayed.

Aw okay.

But that's sweet of you. Sweet Mijoo unnie.

That's me.

Haha.

This show is starting to get boring too. 

I think it'd be a lot more interesting if you were here to provide commentary.

Yeah. I'm sorry about that too.

Why do you have to be so far away now?

It's so boring without you here.

I couldn't help it. My parents really wanted to come all the way over here to work.

It's really boring here too, trust me. And the people here are seriously weird.

How so?

There's this tall kid named Sujeong who keeps following me around at school.

What? Why?

She says that I'm really nice to look at.

Which isn't a weird reason to follow someone around at all.

But she's the closest person I have over here to a friend, so I'll put up with it.

I guess I'll put up with it too.

Just don't fall in love with her, okay?

That's something you don't ever have to worry about.

Jung Yein will always be the only one for me.

And Lee Mijoo will always be mine.

I'm yours?

Yes, you are mine.

Since when?

Since I was getting asked out to the formal by someone else and you saw us from the 

school roof and got really jealous so you yelled through a megaphone asking me to go with 

you instead. You also managed to land the both of us in detention. Thanks for that.

And I don't think you have the right to call others weird. Just saying.

You're very welcome.

I actually saved you from one of the worst times of your life.

Imagine being stuck with that totally uninteresting guy instead.

Aren't you glad you accepted my invitation and eventually fell for me?

I couldn't be any happier.

But technically, I didn't fall for you afterwards.

Because I already liked you before that.

Excuse me?

Are you serious?

What

the

heck

!!!

Really?!

You are excused, I am serious, and yes, really.

I have liked you ever since I met you on the school's dance team.

You were always such a fun and lively person. I really enjoyed being around you.

Wow.

We knew each other for months before formal even came close.

We could've been dating even before that, you know?

But you wouldn't have gone out of your way to charm me

if you already knew that I liked you, right?

It was fun to watch you try so hard. It was nice.

Unbelievable.

Why haven't you ever told me this?

It never came up in our conversations until now?

What do we even talk about...

This is really important information!

So what would you have done if I never got jealous and asked you to formal?

I have never actually thought about that.

I probably wouldn't have gone at all.

Would you have ever confessed your feelings to me?

I don't think so.

I mean, you took the initiative in everything.

If you didn't do it, then nothing would happen.

If I hadn't done what I did, then we might not even be together right now.

What a horrifying thought. Thank goodness for me.

Indeed. Thank goodness for Lee Mijoo.
