I walk myself towards the YG lounge. I promised to meet Jinwoo and Hoonie after I finish my vocal lessons. Maybe have a beer or two. Who knows? I just want to relax after a tiring few days of full schedule. I like that I have a lot of projects but nothing can beat the feeling of being on stage so I’m really looking forward to MAMA.

The two boys are playing table tennis…while jumping? and running? I think they’re taking this a little too seriously, don’t you think? It even looks like they're using professional grade paddles. Is there a company competition I'm not aware about?

I place my bag on one of the couches and just watch them do what they do while I try to stifle my laugh. They don’t even notice I’m here. Sheesh, these boys. So energetic. I wish I had theirs. I have low stamina ever since. It did improve because of years of training, but I feel like I still get easily tired. Maybe I’m getting too old for this?

I hear my phone beep so I took it out and immediately break into a smile when I saw who texted me.

Hyukkie: How was your voice lessons? I already know you did well, but I just want to ask anyway.

This guy has been messaging me non-stop. I can`t say I hate it. It actually feels good that someone is making an effort to talk to me. Not that I’ve given my number to a lot of guys before. I was in a relationship so I won’t do that. I just…missed this feeling.

I send him a quick reply and I didn’t know it would turn into a text marathon, just like yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that.

(Imagine this is a conversation happening in messenger)

Tokki: I did OK. My voice coach told me I shouldn’t have stopped practicing even when we`re on hiatus.

Tokki: I told her I get practice enough when I do norebang XD

Tokki: How was your meeting with Dok2? Did he say yes?

*Norebang is Karaoke for Koreans

Hyukkie: That’s cool! I should join you do norebang next time :D

Hyukkie: I didn’t have a hard time convincing Dok2 to feature for me.

Hyukkie: He says he’s heard about me and that my songs are good so it wasn’t much of a decision for him.

Tokki: Noooo you can’t join me!

Tokki: I'm not that good at singing so it's embarrasing if you hear me :(

Tokki: Let's eat out instead.

Tokki: I didn't actually realize how popular you are until we became friends.

Hyukkie: Okay, it's a date :D

Hyukkie: I'm not that popular.

Hyukkie: Okay, maybe I am. But you never knew my name before you met me.

Tokki: I'm a different story. I live in my own world. But Chaerin knows you.

Tokki: So that means something.

Tokki: WHAT DATE? I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS A DATE!

Hyukkie: TBH I didn't know about 2ne1 either until my brother told me about you guys.

Hyukkie: Even after I produced songs for other kpop groups. So I guess I'm in my own world too.

Hyukkie: Okay, jeez. It's not a date. At least we'll be together.

Hyukkie: I should have know about you sooner. Then maybe things would have been different.

Tokki: Yeah, I heard you made songs for VIXX and EXO. And Chaerin was like 'How can you not know that, eonnie??'

Tokki: I tried writing songs, but it's just not for me.

Tokki: So what usually happens is I tell Teddy oppa how I feel and he turns it into a song.

Tokki: Different how?

Hyukkie: Oh, really? Like what song?

Hyukkie: If I met you sooner, your heart would be happier. Just like right now. I know i have that effect on you.

Hahaha. This guy, really. He's making me feel things. He's so good at
