(18:05) Gonna buy Ghilbi, I guess?

(18:05) Oh, uhm.

(18:05) Graves of Fireflies is a good choice.

(18:06) Wait, let me check if there's any.

(18:06) Ok, got it, bought it.

(18:06) Thanks, Boo!!

(18:07) Enjoy lol

(18:07) This is not Boo, by the way. You got the wrong number.

(18:07) Oh, oops.

(18:07) Sorry.

(18:07) Thanks anyway.

(23:11) Who have a movie night on a Tuesday?

(23:11) Just curious.

(23:11) It seems odd.

 

 

Tuesday

 

(22:23) agchckafghcja

(22:23) How dare you!

(22:26) Wrong number, Vernon.

(22:26) No, this is for you!!

(22:26) I can see that you just finished watching the movie?

(22:26) How dare you make me watch it in the first place!

(22:26) I dont even know you and yet you make me suffer.

(22:27) What have I done to you or your family?

(22:27) You shattered my heart and my life.

(22:27) There are a lot of things that are not okay in this world and this is one of it.

(22:28) Drama queen.

(22:28) Excuse me! I am definitely not a drama queen.

(22:28) Anyway!! I am still mad at you for doing this to me!

(22:28) lol

(22:28) There's nothing to lol about!!

(22:28) You made my friends cry with your movie.

(22:29) Crying together is a good bonding technique.

(22:29) But still, you won me a bet.

(22:30) A bet?

(22:30) We made a bet that if I ever brought any movie that could make them cry, then they will treat me lunch for the whole week.

(22:31) What kind of person are you that your friends have to make that kind of bet?

(22:31) I don't like sad movies.

(22:31) I feel bad for the characters.

(22:31) So you are more into Minions?

(22:31) WHAT

(22:31) NEVER

(22:32) SUCH DISRESPECT YOU HAVE TOWARDS ME!

(22:32) Ohhhh... Sorry, sorry.

(22:32) Never know you have such a strong feeling towards minions.

(22:32) Wait. Ok, it's not like I have zero reason to hate minions but

(22:33) The Despicable Me movies are actually great! Gru, the girls, and the doctor are awesome characters. But people never pay any attention to the girls, or to Gru, or to the doctor. It's always the minions! Always the minions who get the spotlight.

(22:33) Big part of it is because the minions caught the attention of a lot of children.

(22:33) They are, idk, strange creatures with strange voice who behave in a comedic way.

(22:34) So they can even attract the attention of kids who don't have the dubbed version of the movie.

(22:34) Eh, I guess I can accept that.

(22:34) But still, I don't like the minions that much, ok.

(22:35) Ok, ok, I won't mention the minions again

(22:35) Good!! Thank you!!

(22:35) Oh where was I?

(22:36) A bet.

(22:36) Ah yes, a bet.

(22:36) Since I win the bet, they will treat me lunch for one week~

(22:36) Thank you, stranger~

(22:36) And my share?

(22:37) I guess I can give you the pic?

(22:37) Cheeky.

(22:37) That is not so fair, isn't it.

(22:37) I demand justice.

(22:38) You are so cute.

(22:38) But I am getting sleepy.

(22:38) Night.

(22:38) Night, Vernon.

 

 

Wednesday

 

(02:52) I just remember something.

(02:52) Despicable Me has this scene where Gru tried to steal the moon, right?

(02:52) Well, it is not just technologically impossible.

(02:52) But do you know how important the Moon is to the Earth?

(02:53) How disasters could have happened if Gru had actually stolen the Moon?

(02:53) What if the Moon just disappeared??!

 

(04:34) IT IS JUST A MOVIE.

 

(06:12) Well, I can’t stop thinking about it.

(06:12) None of it makes sense! It is supposed to be entertaining, it doesn’t have to make sense.

(06:12) I KNOW, but they all could have died??

(06:12) DO NOT CHASTISE GRU

(06:13) Does he know what will happen if the Moon disappeared?

(06:13) He almost killed everyone on Earth!

(06:13) He almost makes millions of species go extinct!

(06:14) The Earth will be more exposed to space rocks!

(06:14) The Earth's axis will shift!

(06:14) In short: death and destruction!!

(06:15) Well, I am sorry he didn't think things through!!

(06:15) He almost killed everyone!

(06:15) Do not defend him!

(06:16) Okay…

(06:16) He is an awesome father though?

(06:16) Death

(06:16) And

(06:16) Destruction

(06:17) Now I wonder who the real drama queen is…

(06:17) Also, it was like 2 am when you texted me. What were you doing...

(06:17) Sorry. I didn’t wake you up, right?

(06:17) No, not really.

(06:18) Also, I didn’t know you are into space.

(06:18) Guess you learn something about me

 

*

 

(08:02) Not lunch! But they brought me breakfast!

(08:02) It is chicken! Seasoned. Very nice~

(pic)

 

(08:35) Oh, that looks nice.

(08:35) lol did you go back to sleep and just wake up now?

(08:36) Sort of.

(08:36) Why does my life require me to wake up early?

(08:36) Good to know I am not the only one.

(08:37) Guess I can add that to the list of thing I know about you?

(08:37) Did you eat?

(08:37) Hm, yes. Just did.

(08:37) Thank you for asking.

(08:38) But your chicken makes me hungry again.

(08:38) Ahh, now i really want one.

(08:39) lol

(08:39) You have to buy it by yourself.

(08:39) Unfair.

(08:39) I was the one who told you about the movie in the first place.

(08:40) lolololol

(08:40) Life is unfair.

(08:40) Also, I didn’t say this before, but thanks for telling me about it.

(08:41) All things aside, I actually really love it.

(08:42) Hm… That’s a nice compliment.

(08:42) Since your taste is exquisite.

(08:42) yupz.

(08:43) No minions.

(08:43) Of course.

(08:43) Minions.

(08:44) The real enemy.

(08:44) You know me so well already~

(08:44) I think we are going to get along great.

 

*

 

(13:19) You never answer my question.

(13:25) Which one?

(13:25) Why is your movie night on a Tuesday?

(13:26) Oh that lol

(13:26) Sorry, I fell asleep after I saw the text and kind of forget it.

(13:26) That’s okay.

(13:27) It was my fault for texting you so late.

(13:27) Actually it isn’t our usual night.

(13:27) We usually have it on Friday or Saturday.

(13:27) Or Sunday sometimes.

(13:28) I see.

(13:28) And every one of you has to bring a movie.

(13:28) Yes.

(13:29) We have a schedule for it.

(13:29) Sounds fun.

(13:29) Yep.

(13:30) Though sometimes we get too busy...

(13:30) But we tried our best to get some time for us.

(13:30) Sometimes we even watch volleyball match.

(13:31) There is one who loves to bring sad anime movies…

(13:31) Did you watch The Garden of Words yet?

(13:31) Not yet.

(13:31) Is it sad?

(13:32) Depends.

(13:32) No one die.

(13:32) But the vibe of the movie is somber and sad.

(13:32) ok ok

(13:33) I guess we will try it next time.

(13:33) lol you sure know a lot of movies.

(13:33) I watch many kinds of movie.

(13:33) Do you have movie night too?

(13:34) With your friends?

(13:34) Yes

(13:34) Sometimes we watch Miracle in Cell No. 7

(13:35) Even though we have watched it for many times already.

(13:35) You all are brave.

(13:35) That reminds me!

(13:35) You definitely should watch Voltron!

(13:36) What is it about?

(13:36) Space!! Space!! Exploration!!

(13:36) It is cool! It is on Netflix!

(13:36) Okay, I will give it a try.

(13:36) lol I would be glad to chat about movies with you.

(13:37) The main reason of why I love movie is probably because i it doesn’t take a lot of energy.

(13:37) lol

(13:37) Not one with much stamina?

(13:37) Don’t get me wrong~ I love sports~

(13:37) And exercising.

(13:37) Sometimes...

(13:38) But of course~ sleep is the best.

(13:38) Another thing to add about what I know about you.

(13:38) Unfortunately, I have to go.

(13:38) Good talk.

(13:39) Good bye, Vernon~

(19:40) Help ㅠㅠ

(19:42) Is everything okay??

(19:42) My mouth tastes weird.

(19:42) Not sure how to put it.

(19:42) There is a weird taste lingering in my mouth.

(19:43) I feel like puking but I can’t.

(19:44) Ah, I understand.

(19:44) Try drinking a cup of tea?

(19:44) They help me sometimes.

(19:45) I run out of tea...

(19:45) Then buy some.

(19:45) I don’t want to move.

(19:46) Then tell your friend to do it for you.

(19:46) Will they?

(19:46) Why don’t you try then?

 

*

 

(19:46) Josh, I run out of tea.

(19:46) I see.

(19:46) Do you want me to buy some for you? ⊂(＝•̀人 •́＝)づ

(19:47) Josh

(19:47) You are a miracle we don’t deserve.

(19:47) Yes, please?

(19:48) Ok, I will be there soon. \( •̀ω•́ )/

(19:48) Sorry for bothering you.

(19:48) No, it is ok. (♡ㅇㅅㅇ)ゞ

(19:49) I'm on my way there anyway.

(19:49) Thanks, Joshy Josh.

(19:49) I owe you my life.

(19:49) Anything for you, Verny~ (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ

 

*

 

(19:47) I ASKED A FRIEND OF MINE.

(19:47) AND HE REALLY IS GOING TO DO IT FOR ME.

(19:47) I DON’T DESERVE HIM.

(19:47) Real talk, no one deserve him.

(19:47) He is way out of everyone's league.

(19:48) Your friend is really nice.

(19:48) I’m serious about it.

(19:48) Many people don’t even deserve to breathe near him.

(19:50) lmao

(19:50) Such possessiveness.

(19:50) Don’t get me wrong!

(19:50) He is like my brother!

(19:51) A case of brother complex?

(19:51) He really is a nice guy.

(19:51) Not completely innocent of naïve.

(19:52) You get what I mean.

(19:54) You seem like a good guy yourself.

(19:54) Oh, well.

(19:54) Thank you for the compliment?

(19:55) You're welcome.

(19:55) He says he is near.

(19:55) Talk to you later.

(19:55) Sure.

 

 

Thursday

 

(07:11) What coffee should I get?

(07:11) What do you want?

(07:11) I want to start the day with something that will really wake me up.

(07:12) Plain black no sugar?

(07:12) !!! That is harsh!

(07:12) On a second thought, that might not suit you.

(07:13) You think I am not ready for a cup of black coffee??

(07:13) I will prove you wrong!

(07:13) Please stick to your usual fancy drink.

(07:16) Nah, just watch me.

(07:16) …

(07:16) So how does it taste?

(07:17) Uh, cool.

(07:17) I mean it is hot.

(07:17) And uh

(07:18) I can’t take it, I need something sweet.

(07:18) lol there's no shame in not being able to drink black coffee, Vernon.

(07:18) Black coffee doesn’t suit you.

(07:18) Why?

(07:19) What suit me?

(07:19) Something cute and sweet. Milk tea?

(07:19) I like milk tea!

(07:19) Hm and I guess you are

(07:19) Expensive fancy coffee?

(07:20) Oh?

(07:20) Or expensive 1827 wine.

(07:20) You think so highly of me.

(07:21) Idk you have this sophisticated feeling about you.

(07:21) Not in a bad way tho!

(07:23) Okay, I get what you mean.

(07:23) Thank you for thinking so highly of me.

(07:23) Wait, gtg.

(07:23) Text you soon.

(9:30) Verny (〃･ω･)ﾉ

(9:30) Joshy! What’s up?

(9:30) Seungcheol told me to ask you who you've been texting lately.

(9:31) I dont want to pry into things you don't want to share with us. (๑ ˊ͈ ᐞ ˋ͈ )

(9:31) But you know how Cheol can be. （●´･△･｀）

(9:31) I know, I know.

(9:32) It's not a big deal.

(9:32) Sent a text to this wrong number couple of days ago.

(9:32) We continue texting somehow.

(9:32) Not often though.

(9:32) No need to worry.

 

*

 

(9:32) I asked him.

(9:32) It’s a wrong number he accidentally texted. (⌒◇⌒；)

(9:32) A wrong number??

(9:33) He doesn’t know them well then??

(9:33) What if it is a murderer or sth? Σ(ﾟдﾟ；)

(9:33) I think he will notice if it's a murderer. (‘◉⌓◉’)

(9:33) But we never know, right?

(9:34) There aren’t much we can do.

(9:34) We are not his parents.

(9:34) We can just tell him to be safe. [ ・ ∧ ・ ]

(9:35) You tell him that.

(9:35) Thanks, Jisoo.

(9:35) He only listens to you.

(9:35) Boys these days

(9:35) So frustrating.

(9:36) You are being more and more like a dad. ( * •̀ ᗜ •́ * )

(9:36) But I am!

(9:36) His second dad!

(9:36) It is a role his parents entrust me!

(9:37) When he left for college, his father put his hand on my shoulder

(9:37) I feel it. He is entrusting me his only son.

(9:37) I am the one his father believes.

(9:38) He just wants you to keep an eye on him. (⇀‸↼‶)

(9:38) Not report to him what food his son has 24/7. (⇀‸↼‶)

(9:38) Back to what I’m saying.

(9:38) Trust him a little. (｀･Δ･´)

(9:39) Cyber crime, Jisoo!!

(9:39) You are a future lawyer!

(9:39) You know about this the best!

(9:40) I will take care of everything if anything did happen…

(9:40) Okay then.

(9:40) Guess what Seungkwan did this time.

(9:40) Seokmin told me already… (❁°͈▵°͈)

(9:41) NO, you can not believe Seokmin on this one.

 

*

 

(14:15) I am back

(14:15) Lunch time!!

(14:15) Do you like them?

(14:18) Coffee?

(14:18) I depend on them so I can be awake enough to attend class.

(14:19) You are in uni?

(14:19) I am in uni myself.

(14:19) Never really know much about you.

(14:19) Don’t you think that's strange?

(14:20) Are you tying to get some info from me but you are just being subtle?

(14:20) Nah.

(14:20) Don’t want to make you feel weird or sth.

(14:21) That’s nice of you.

(14:21) How is your lunch?

(14:22) They said that they will treat me dinner.

(14:22) I think we are going to have dim sum tonight.

(14:22) With our Prince of China~

(14:23) Sounds expensive.

(14:23) I haven’t had dim sum for a long time.

(14:23) I will treat you if I can… But too bad I can’t.

(14:23) Also, how is your lunch?

(14:24) I’m still at class.

(14:24) Then pay attention!

(14:24) I am paying attention.

(14:24) You are texting me.

(14:25) I am paying attention and texting you

(14:25) How can the prof not catch you playing your phone anyway?

(14:25) Magic.

(14:26) I’m going to enjoy my lunch

(14:26) Please pay attention.

(19:02) (pic)

(19:02) Dim sum!

(19:03) Looks nice~

(19:03) Tastes better.

(19:03) Hope you have a nice dinner too yourself.

(19:03) It's not as grandeur as yours.

(19:04) But I cooked it myself.

(19:04) Sounds nice!

(19:04) I can’t cook so I dont eat a lot of homecook meals.

(19:04) Usually only takeouts.

(19:05) Takeouts are not healthy.

(19:05) I know, I know.

(19:05) Sometimes my friends come to my apt to cook me something.

(19:05) I know realise how much I rely on them.

(19:05) Your friends are really nice.

(19:06) Yeah.

(19:06) I’m glad I have them.

(19:06) Boo and I are a little helpless.

(19:07) Ok, I need to get back to them soon.

(19:07) I kind of sneaked off to text you lol

(19:07) Later.

(19:07) Laterz.

(19:03) (pic)

(19:03) Pretty please, Jihoon.

(19:07) i’m broke

(19:07) ask someone else

(19:07) soonyoung maybe.

(19:08) You ask him, then.

(19:08) Probably he will say yes?

(19:09) ask mingyu or wonwoo

(19:09) just not me

(19:09) Do you think they have a lot of money themselves?

(19:10) do you think music students have a lot of money or what?

(19:10) ask minghao

(19:10) the ground he walks on turn into gold

(19:10) I am not that shameless… He paid for my dinner yesterday.

(19:11) well your choice

(19:11) you gotta look for a jumin han smh.

(19:11) :(

 

 

Friday

 

(08:39) What should I get today?

(08:39) What about buying me food?

(08:40) lol what do you want?

(08:40) Your dim sum.

(08:40) What kind of uni student has enough money to treat their friends for dim sum?

(08:41) lmao

(08:41) ikr

(08:41) If it weren’t for them, many of us might have died of hunger.

(08:42) You know, i don’t know you, but your living condition are really making me worried.

(08:42) We have food.

(08:42) Just not that healthy.

(08:42) Don’t tell my mom.

(08:43) Learn to cook your own food...

(08:43) You told me you can’t cook.

(08:43) I did try to learn how to cook once.

(08:43) But i messed up and almost set the kitchen on fire.

(08:44) ...

(08:44) Have you noticed that most of our conversation are either about food or movies?

(08:44) Is that bad?

(08:44) Well not really.

(08:45) We don’t know each other that well after all.

(08:45) Now I’m curious.

(08:45) How did you get my number anyway?

(08:46) I lost my phone.

(08:46) And I only remember Boo's number because he told me to.

(08:46) But I got confused if it should be 7 or 4.

(08:47) It is 7 then?

(08:47) It is not 7 because I got three digits wrong.

(08:47) I am not even surprised

(08:47) Hey! Rude! :(

(08:48) Why are you still texting me then?

(08:48) Uh, because you are quite chill and cool and kind of cute so far.

(08:48) And because the other number didn’t respond.

(08:48) Are you telling me that your first word to strangers was "help!!"

(08:49) Yes?

(08:49) I mean if I said "hello :)" that would freak you out, right?

(08:49) You can just call ...

(08:49) I did!

(08:50) You didn’t answer.

(08:51) I don’t like taking calls from strangers.

(08:51) I guess I understand your point.

(08:51) But still I’m glad you turn out to be a cool person.

(08:51) How are you sure I am a cool person?

(08:51) Are you saying you aren’t?

(08:51) You are secretly wanted by the government?

(08:52) Are you?

(08:52) No?

(08:52) Then neither am I.

(08:52) Maybe.

(08:52) lol

(08:53) lol

(08:53) You smell like danger.

(08:53) nice~

(08:53) Ok, that sounds weird.

(08:54) Why did I say that

(08:54) please forget

(08:55) I’m not going to kinkshame you or anything.

(08:55) But something that smells like danger should not be nice.

(08:55) Please just forget we ever had this kind of convo!!

(08:56) I will try then

(08:56) Good!

(08:56) anyway gtg.

(08:56) take care.

(12:04) I never ask you.

(12:04) How is it like, talking to them? / (•ㅅ•)＼

(12:06) I like it.

(12:06) They are nice and cool.

(12:06) I feel like I can talk to them about anything

(12:07) And I don’t need to be afraid of what they will see me as.

(12:07) Probably it is because they are a stranger?

(12:08) Is it? A stranger thing? / (•ㅅ•)＼

(12:08) Or maybe they are just that kind of person?

(12:08) The one you can confide in.

(12:09) And makes you feel peaceful just by talking with them.

(12:10) You sure are fast, huh...

(12:10) ?? Fast what?

(12:10) Today is my fifth day talking to them.

(12:11) I don’t know them much, but it’s like I have always known them?

(12:11) IS THAT WEIRD

(12:11) I THINK THATS WEIRD

(12:11) Seungkwan will say that you are being cheesy again.

(12:12) That sounds romantic somehow. （。＞ω＜）。

(12:12) AgHJKL JOSHY

(12:13) THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN US

(12:13) sERIOUSLY.

(12:13) WE ARE JUST COOL PALS texting each other

(12:13) idek anything about them!

(12:14) Then ask them?

(12:14) If you want to. (｡･ω･)

(12:15) You are going to be fine about it?

(12:15) I trust you, Hansol.

(12:15) Usually if you said it is okay, then it is okay.

(12:16) I make bad decision sometimes?

(12:16) Like what? Deciding not to learn how to cook? [ ・ ∧ ・ ]

(12:16) WILL YOU LET ME LIVE JOSHY

(12:16) You are never too late to learn. [ ・ ∧ ・ ]

(12:17) OK I WILL

(12:17) One day?

(14:17) I have no choice.ㅠㅠ

(14:18) Should I come to your rescue?

(14:18) Please?

(14:18) Look at it! There are carrots!!

(14:18) You don’t like carrots?

(14:18) Not at all.

(14:18) What, you like them?

(14:19) They are ok, I guess.

(14:19) I don’t like peanuts at all tho.

(14:19) I mean, I can’t eat peanuts.

(14:19) I see...

(14:19) That reminds me. Did you eat?

(14:20) We are going to get some sushi after this~

(14:20) It has been a while.

(14:20) I WILL ASK AGAIN: WHAT KIND OF COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE YOU

(14:20) lmao

(14:21) This week is a special week.

(14:21) Next week we are going back to takeouts and drinking our own tears.

(14:21) That’s sad.

Saturday

 

(03:30) Hey, sorry.

(03:30) My phone died and then I fell asleep.

(03:30) Just woke up.

(03:30) The sushi looks good.

(03:31) You must be sleeping.

(03:31) Sorry for bothering you.

(03:38) hey hey hey

(03:38) It is 3 am.

(03:38) Yeah, well.

(03:38) I am doing my project.

(03:39) Due next week.

(03:39) Just starting early.

(03:39) lol you got me worried tbh

(03:40) I thought sth happen.

(03:44) I am fine.

(03:44) Sorry for making you worry.

(03:44) Good to know you are being a good student.

(03:44) We hadn’t known each other for one full week.

(03:45) Must be because I am such a positive influence.

(03:45) lol

(03:45) I just don’t like the subject so I tried to finish it as soon as I can.

(03:45) The prof is a pain.

(03:46) He is so close minded and !!

(03:46) That reminds me of my high school English teacher.

(03:46) Close-minded?

(03:46) And very traditional.

(03:47) I am not a troublemaker at school.

(03:47) Bit of a teacher's pet maybe.

(03:47) But there are times I want to fight him.

(03:48) lol must be really bad

(03:48) I survived.

(03:48) It would be bad if you didn’t.

(03:49) ikr

(03:49) Who would be your texting buddy?

(03:51) My friend?

(03:53) So I’m not?

(03:53) So you are?

(03:53) lol it’s not a question I should answer.

(03:53) You are like my secret.

(03:54) That sounds… ?

(03:54) lol that’s not what I mean.

(03:54) Not all my friends know about you.

(03:54) Why?

(03:55) Well, I’m afraid they won’t approve of it.

(03:55) Not everyone believes in strangers the way I do.

(03:56) Am I, though?

(03:56) Your secret?

(03:56) Hm.

(03:56) Maybe.

(03:56) I must be bothering you.

(03:56) Go back to your homework.

(03:57) Shouldn’t you go back to sleep?

(03:57) It’s four in the morning.

(04:10) I have things to do.

(04:10) Like what?

(04:10) Nothing much.

(04:10) Homeworks.

(04:11) And my boyfriend needs me.

(04:11) Zen~

(04:15) Oh, sorry.

(04:15) I don’t want to intrude.

(04:15) It's ok.

(04:18) Why are you still texting me then?

(04:18) You don’t want me to text you?

(04:18) That's not what I mean at all.

(04:18) Won’t your boyfriend be angry?

(04:18) Why would he?

(04:19) You are texting another person.

(04:19) 1) I will be angry if my boyfriend really did dictate me on whom I can contact and whom I can’t contact.

(04:19) 2) My relationship with Zen is built on mutual trust.

(04:23) Oh, that’s cool.

(04:23) Good to know your boyfriend is really cool.

(04:23) Ah, yes~

(04:23) He is really handsome too~

(04:23) And hardworking~

(04:23) And he can cook~

(04:23) I really admire that part of him.

(04:24) That’s cool.

(04:26) How long have you two been together?

(04:26) Just recently.

(04:26) Just a few days ago, in fact.

(04:26) He confessed first?

(04:27) Why didn’t you tell me?

(04:27) Why should I?

(04:27) Ok then.

(04:28) When did you know him then?

(04:28) I first know about him around a week ago.

(04:28) That is fast.

(04:28) What can I do?

(04:28) We have chemistry~

(04:31) His name is Zen?

(04:31) Hyun Ryu, to be exact.

(04:31) But his nickname is Zen.

(04:31) I see.

(04:34) Ok, good for you.

(04:34) I hope you two will last long.

(04:34) Thank you, Vernon.

(04:34) That’s really nice of you.

 

*

 

(09:02) Hey, Vernon~

(09:05) Hey to you too.

(09:05) Hyun Ryu is busy working out or something.

(09:05) I am bored.

(09:08) I am with my friends

(09:08) We are going shopping.

(09:09) What are hou having today?

(09:11) Sure.

(09:11) Have fun shopping~

 

*

 

(11:20) I know your boyfriend's name but not your name.

(11:21) lol yeah.

(11:21) Well, it is weird.

(11:21) Sometimes I want to refer you in my head but I don’t know what to refer you as.

(11:21) well well well

(11:22) You think of me?

(11:22) UH not that way???

(11:22) But yeah sometimes??

(11:22) Ok that sounds weird.

(11:22) lol I get it.

(11:23) I am just teasing.

(11:23) But sorry, I can’t tell you my name yet.

(11:23) Probably next time~

(11:24) Oh wait, Zen chat me gtg.

(11:25) oh sure

(11:25) have fun
 

*

 

(12:13) what, you got bf or sth that you aren't telling me?

(12:13) Yes? He is an actor and he has white hair and beautiful eyes.

(12:13) i don’t want to hear about him again.

(12:13) and you know what I mean.

(12:14) Why do you think so?

(12:14) idk your constant texting

(12:14) What, I can't text anyone besides you?

(12:15) I am not having that.

(12:15) I want a break-up.

(12:15) you are getting defensive

(12:15) there is someone

(12:16) Why do you always think of the new people I meet as potential love interest?

(12:16) bcs most of the time, they end up as one

(12:16) but most of them are arseholes

(12:16) whom i had told you about

(12:17) so there's really someone

(12:17) It’s just someone who accidentally text me.

(12:17) We text sometimes it's not a big deal, Jihoon.

(12:17) I literally know him a few days ago.

(12:18) okay whatever

(12:18) i will make sure they know what breaking your heart means

(12:18) i sure as hell cant do taekwondo but i can kick people’s

(12:18) or hit them with a guitar

(12:19) your choice

(12:19) No need to get violent here, Jihoon.

(12:19) whatever text me about the development.

(12:19) What development might there be?

(12:19) i dont know, you tell me

(12:20) any development

 

*

 

(14:47) Hey, Vernon.

(14:47) Yes? What’s it?

(14:47) What are you doing?

(14:48) Just finished eating.

(14:48) Doing homework,

(14:48) So diligent.

(14:49) And hardworking~

(14:49) I am impressed~

(14:50) That’s your type?

(14:50) What, you want to know my type?

(14:53) lol must be like Zen.

(14:53) Yes, something like that.

(14:53) lololol wonder what Zen is like.

(14:53) We didn’t meet through wrong texts.

(14:54) But the circumstances are similar.

(14:54) I see.

(14:54) Also he sends me a lot of selfie.

(14:55) I see.

(14:55) Also I am probably bothering you.

(14:55) Sorry, please continue your study.

(14:56) Ok, thanks

 

*

 

(15:01) His name is Vernon.

(15:01) wow

(15:01) is that an update?

(15:02) No, that’s an info.

(15:02) something happens?

(15:02) Nothing much~

(15:03) you sound so amused right now

(15:03) They are so fun to tease~

(15:03) ok what did you do?

(15:03) I told them about Zen?

(15:04) And then they were like "oh ok"

(15:04) wtf jeonghan

(15:04) i think talking about your boyfriend 24/7 to a stranger who texts you frequently will make said person feel awkward

(15:04) What makes you think I talk about Zen 24/7?

(15:04) oh i dont know

(15:04) probably because you tell me about him 24/7??

(15:05) you send me his selfie???

(15:05) His selfie is a blessing.

(15:05) Anyway, back to Vernon.

(15:05) They are so fun to tease~

(15:07) anyway is vernon a boy

(15:07) I never asked, why?

(15:07) lol nothing just wondering

(15:07) because if they are then

(15:08) Then what?

(15:08) then they are your type.

(15:08) Jihoon.

(15:09) You think I will tell him that I am a boy who likes other boys?

(15:09) why not?

(15:10) You know fully well why.

(15:10) not everyone is against you, jeonghan

(15:10) ok we are not having this discussion.

(15:10) back to my point

(15:11) spare this kid please

(15:11) i hope they find out eventually

(17:51) oh

(17:51) Well, I don’t know their name yet.

(17:51) But I know they have a boyfriend.

(17:52) His name is Zen, or Hyun Ryu.

(17:52) It’s awkward, talking to them when I know they have a boyfriend.

(17:52) They really like their boyfriend.

Sunday

 

(02:15) lololol

(02:15) I was wondering when you will get it.

(02:15) Who told you?

(02:16) Josh told me.

(02:16) White hair, red eyes.

(02:16) Musical actor.

(02:16) Narcissistic.

(02:16) But hardworking.

(02:17) And his voice is quite y~

(02:17) Also I like this Josh.

(02:17) I think we are going to be a good friend.

(02:17) He studies law.

(02:18) And plays the guitar.

(02:18) He sings wells.

(02:18) No one deserve to walk on the ground he walks on.

(02:18) So you woke up at 3 for Zen?

(02:19) Yep, yep.

(02:19) For someone who worries about my health frequently, they sure have a ty sleep schedule themselves.

(02:19) I don’t want to miss any chat and use my hourglass.

(02:20) So I tried to wake up as early as possible.

(02:20) I am saving for either Jumin or 707.

(02:20) Well, I am going back to sleep.

(02:20) Movie night last night.

(02:21) We watched, like, five movies.

 

*

 

(11:06) Are you still sleeping??

 

(12:17) TODAY IS SUNDAY.

(12:17) So yes, I was still sleeping.

(12:17) I will never wake up before 10 on a holiday.

(12:17) Who even did that???

(12:18) Josh apparently.

(12:18) You just woke up??

(12:18) It's like 12.

(12:18) People like Josh are a miracle.

(12:19) And people like you are such a sloth.

(12:19) We are just people who can appreciate the beauty of sleep.

(12:19) Talking about sloth reminds me of Zootopia.

(12:19) My favourite!! Ever!!

(12:20) You and your love towards animation movies.

(12:20) It's really cute.

(12:20) aw thanks

(12:20) But Zootopia is really, really good tho??

(12:21) Have you watched it?

(12:21) I have.

(12:22) Just yesterday, in fact.

(12:22) And yes it is one of my favourite.

(12:22) The story delivers such a strong and meaningful and powerful message.

(12:23) I LIKE YOU

(12:23) Thank you, Vernon.

(12:23) I appreciate it.

(12:23) So what did you watch yesterday?

(12:24) We watched Inside Out.

(12:24) I cried.

(12:24) SO YOU CRIED DURING DISNEY MOVIE

(12:24) That is not a Disney movie.

(12:24) I KNOW BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

(12:25) We re-watched BH6 too.

(12:25) I cried too.

(12:25) So, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Inside Out. What else?

(12:26) Well, we also had a mini karaoke session.

(12:26) It was hilarious. At one point it turned into some kind of screaming match and one of my friend hit us with a pillow.

(12:26) And then we had a pillow war.

(12:27) That sounds so cute and fun.

(12:27) Have we had any pillow war before?

(12:27) I don't think we have, but it should happen next time!!

(12:27) Today is Sunday. Nothing happening today?

(12:27) No. Everyone is busy apparently.

(12:28) Ah, I see.

(12:28) Also, we had a y dance battle.

(12:28) WHO WON?

(12:28) It should be me, obviously.

(12:28) But you didn't?

(12:29) If you had seen me, you would have agreed that I deserve to win.

(12:29) ajdkka

(12:29) Anyway

(12:29) Singing battle?

(12:30) Yes.

(12:30) I sing sometimes.

(12:30) I don't really like my voice, but my friend said it's nice.

(12:30) Soothing. Slow.

(12:30) Suits slow songs, apparently.

(12:31) I am not sure myself.

(12:31) Aah.

(12:31) You know it is weird we never talked about music much.

(12:31) Especially when I am into music myself.

(12:32) Uhm. Well.

(12:32) I didn't know you are into music.

(12:32) You never ask!

(12:32) You never ask too ;;

(12:33) Someone said once that when I talked about music, I get annoying.

(12:33) Because I was??? Too into it? Or something.

(12:33) I started rambling and it got boring.

(12:33) I was too passionate, apparently.

(12:34) That's stupid.

(12:34) I think you are really cute whenever you talk about the things you are passionate about.

(12:34) I'm sorry to know you had to experience that.

(12:34) No one deserve being treated that way.

(12:35) I want you to know that you can talk about anything with me.

(12:35) I won't think less about you.

(12:35) So, feel free to talk to me about whatever.

(12:36) Thank you.

(12:36) You are the coolest person I ever wrong texted before.

 

*

 

(20:51) Hey.

(20:53) Hey.

(20:53) Today my friends drag me around the town.

(20:53) It's okay.

(20:53) I hope you had a good time.

(20:54) I have!

(20:54) We tried the new cafe near our apartment.

(20:54) The decoration is really nice, but the price is scary.

(20:55) Does the food taste nice?

(20:55) It's actually really nice!

(20:55) I love their waffle.

(20:55) The money is worth it, imho.

(20:56) Ah, that's good.

(20:56) Remember not to skip any meal.

(20:56) Three meals a day. And breakfast is the most important.

(20:57) Okay~ Thank you for worrying.

(20:57) How about you, did you have fun today?

(20:57) I do.

(20:57) I had a really nice nap today.

(20:57) And I cooked my favourite food!

(20:58) I tried to take a pic, but it looks bad.

(20:58) Ohh, good to know you eat well yourself!

(20:58) Must be nice, to be able to cook.

(20:58) I didn't ask yesterday, but how is your cooking lesson?

(20:58) It was a disaster.

(20:59) Much better than the previous one, but I burnt the food I tried to cook.

(20:59) "I can't believe someone can actually be this bad at cooking." - Boo.

(21:00) I believe you will get it one day.

(21:00) You just started learning, after all.

(21:01) Thank you! I will ask you for cooking tips then.

(21:01) I will help as much as I can~

(21:01) ^^

(21:01) Anyway, what's up?

(21:01) Homeworks.

(21:01) Oh, Sorry. Am I bothering you?

(21:02) Not really.

(21:02) What about you?

(21:02) I am trying to study...

(21:03) Quiz tomorrow!!

(21:03) Go study seriously then...

(21:03) I will, but.

(21:03) I have been thinking...

(21:04) Is that a good thing?

(21:04) Rude. -_-

(21:04) Can I know more about you?

(21:04) What?

(21:04) well

(21:04) idk

(21:04) I like texting you

(21:05) I want to know more about you

(21:05) You call me Vernon but I didn’t get to call you anything.

(21:05) idk

(21:05) You are fun to talk to but I want to know more about you.

(21:05) Ah...

(21:06) I think at this point we should be acquaintanc already?

(21:06) So.

(21:06) Name?

(21:06) Or nickname?? Anything is fine as long as I get to call you something ;;

(21:06) You can call me 1004~

(21:07) What?

(21:07) That is my birthday~

(21:07) Uh…

(21:07) Calling you angel is a bit…

(21:07) You know?

(21:08) Should I call you with honorific instead?

(21:08) Why do you want to know about me?

(21:08) Well.

(21:08) I want to befriend you, I guess.

(21:09) If that’s not weird.

(21:09) I like making friends.

(21:09) And you don't seem like a bad person.

(21:10) I might have said this before.

(21:10) But you shouldn't be so easy to trust someone.

(21:10) We don't know much about each other.

(21:11) That's the fun part?

(21:11) We can learn about each other slowly.

(21:11) I will know better about you if you want me to know you better.

(21:12) It is ok if you don’t want to.

(21:12) I know it’s weird for me to ask you this.

(21:12) But you are a new person and I don’t feel bored while texting you.

(21:13) You bring sth, I guess.

(21:13) Am I being rude? idk if that’s rude. Sorry if that’s rude.

(21:13) You sound older than me, more mature.

(21:14) I am 19, in case you are wondering.

(21:14) I am 21.

(21:14) I suppose you tell me a lot of yourself.

(21:14) But I never really tell you about myself.

(21:14) yeah

(21:15) well

(21:15) I study audio engineering & sound production in uni

(21:15) In case you are wondering.

(21:16) 1004, 21, uni student, has a passion in astronomy and movies, likes coffee, cries during disney movies, loves sleeping.

(21:16) Vernon, 19, uni student, hates minions, loves disney movies, has a friend named Boo and Josh, can’t drink black coffee, can’t cook, very worrying.

(21:17) Did I get anything wrong?

(21:17) Passion is a strong word.

(21:17) I never thought of going to the moon or pursuing it professionally.

(21:17) If I can go to the Moon, I want it to be as a holiday or sth.

(21:18) I don't usually trust people easily.

(21:18) And you may not want to be a friend of mine if you really know me.

(21:18) Why?

(21:19) It’s complicated.

(21:19) Okay.

(21:19) So which honorific should I use?

(21:20) You don't need to get all formal with me.

(21:20) But I do get what you are trying to say.

(21:20) Sorry… I don’t know how to really phrase it.

(21:20) idk where we are standing.

(21:21) We are in this awkward line of acquaintance and friend.

(21:21) And if I did sth wrong then it's over.

(21:21) It is an awkward position, really.

(21:22) So please.

(21:22) Just share with me what you are comfortable with.

(21:23) I will understand.

(21:23) I mean it is really selfish of me to ask this...

(21:25) What do you think?

(21:25) What?

(21:26) I told you I have a boyfriend.

(21:26) What do you think?

(21:27) Do you think I am a girl?

(21:26) I know.

(21:26) But girls aren’t the only ones who can have boyfriends.

 

(21:30) Jeonghan.

(21:30) My name is Jeonghan.

(21:30) 21, male.

(21:30) Libra.

(21:30) Sometimes I sing.

(21:30) Nice to meet you, Jeonghan-hyung~

(21:31) The name is Vernon.

(21:31) 19, male.

(21:31) Aquarius.

(21:32) I can rap.

(21:32) Hufflepuff.

(21:32) Slytherin.

(21:32) Also, my Chinese zodiac is tiger.

(21:33) Mine is pig.

(21:33) Tiger, huh?

(21:33) Must be fierce.

(21:34) And you...

(21:34) Suits you.

(21:35) Lazy but cute?

(21:35) Lazy but cute.

(21:36) Well, it’s nice to know you, Vernon.

(21:36) It’s a pleasure knowing you too, Jeonghan-hyung.

(21:36) We will get along well.

 

- to be continued.

author's note: this chapter is approximately 6k+ long, which is two times longer than the original first chapter. i feel guilty to leave everyone hanging for so long, so i hope this chap will compensate in a way!! <3 also, i can't help but making vernon and jeonghan a big nerd and geek. because it is cute~ and jeonghan plays mystic messenger! because why not? all the time he wakes up on 3 or 2 are for zen.. which i can definitely relate to.

josh's emoticons are from here. the (pic) stands for picture, because i don't have the exact pictures to support the fic ( ´△｀)

lawyer!josh !! just imagine!! the next chapter will have: boo, the entire squad, pre-flirting, and a lot of revelation.

please leave a comment or two!! your thoughts are greatly appreciated. also don't be shy to hmu on twitter (shuunshinex). i won't bite if you don't want me too. o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

all the love. xx
