‘Hey~’

‘Hyeran ah~’

‘Hey?’

‘You there?’

‘Why aren’t 

you replying? 

You’ve read all 

my messages.’

‘What did I do

wrong this time?’

‘Are you giving

me the silent 

treatment now?’

‘YA!’

‘Oppa.’

‘Yes, finally!

You speak!’

‘Why didn’t 

you tell me?’

‘Tell you what?’

‘Last night when

 you asked me

 to watch Knowing

 Brothers because 

you’ll be in it. 

Why didn’t you 

tell me that you’ll

 come out in KBS 

Entertainment Award 

as well?’

‘That ceremony 

lasts till 2am, 

I can’t have 

you stay up 

that late.’

‘And yet, 

you went.’

‘It’s my job.’

‘Why you? 

Why must 

you go?’

‘Hyeran ah.’

‘Why do you 

always have to 

tired yourself

 out?’

‘Why SM keeps 

making you do

 things like that?’

‘I just don’t 

get it.’

‘But I’m fine, 

I’m used to

staying awake

till 3-4am,

you know that.’

‘At least you

 should’ve told

 me!’

‘You know how 

much my heart

 ached for you

 after knowing 

what happened

 last night?’

‘You have 

no idea!’

‘I suppose you

 won’t even care

 working non-stop

 if your company

 tells you to!’

‘You won’t mind

 doing that even

 if you are 

half-dead!’

‘Hyeran ah…’

‘I’m sorry…

I just didn’t 

want you…

to know.

I didn’t want

you to worry.’

‘You didn’t want

 me to worry? 

Why? 

Am I annoying 

you?

 Is that why?’

‘What’s wrong

with you today?’

‘Did something

happen?’

‘I don’t know 

Oppa…’

‘I myself

 don’t know, 

why I’m 

like that…’

‘I just can’t

 help myself…

worrying about

 you.’

‘I know it’s 

none of my 

business but…’

‘Why am I 

like this, 

Oppa?’

‘Why does my

 heart race 

every time 

I see your

 text coming in?’

‘Why?’

‘Hyeran ah. 

My offer to you,

you ever thought

of changing 

your answer?’

‘Oppa…’

‘It’s never 

too late, 

I’m still waiting,

to take away

that space 

between boy 

and friend.’

‘Just a space.’

‘If you say yes,

I’ll run to you

this very instant 

and hold you. 

I will.’

‘Hyeran ah.

Answer me.’

‘I…’

‘I’m scared…’

‘There’s nothing

to be afraid of.’

‘That space

 is there for 

your protection, 

Oppa.’

‘I can’t.’

‘I’m sorry.’

‘Alright. 

Just asking.’

‘So, 

did you enjoy

our episode 

last night?’

‘You’re really 

too much. 

Changing the 

subject like that.’

‘What? 

You want to 

keep getting 

emotional? 

I can if you

want.’

‘No, 

you’re right, 

let’s talk about 

something else.’

‘Anyway, 

yes, 

I enjoyed it.’

‘Did you see 

my move? 

When I was 

fighting with

Sehun?’

‘Oppa, 

you know hapkido,

 can’t you at least

 pretend to be 

serious for once?’

‘Ya, 

it’s a variety 

show, I had

to be funny.’

‘And did you 

notice it?’

‘Notice what?’

‘That move,

as I shuffled

backward, the

move that made

everyone laugh.’

‘Oh, 

yeah,

 that move, 

what about it?’

‘It’s the move 

I did to shield

you in our drama,

remember? 

When a soldier 

cut your arm and

I stepped right in

between you and him.

When I stood in

front of you and 

shuffled back to

protect you. 

That scene.’

‘Ah…

now that you

 said it…

it did seem 

familiar.’

‘I did it 

on purpose.’

‘What for?’

‘To let you 

and everyone

else to know

that I still 

remember you.’

‘Oppa…’

‘Do I look 

cute in that 

reindeer hat?’

‘You know 

my answer.’

‘And still I 

want you to

say it.’

‘Yes, 

you look cute.’

‘Good.’

‘So, 

are you gonna

 stay up late 

again tonight?’

‘What makes 

you think that

I’ll tell you?’

‘Fine,

 don’t tell me.

 I’m not your 

babysitter 

anyway.’

‘I miss you,

Hyeran ah. 

I miss you 

very much.’

‘I need to go, 

Oppa.

 I still have 

to shower.’

‘Ooh~ 

Can I join?’

‘Ya! 

Oppa!’

‘LOL, 

just kidding!’

‘Ah, did you

see the outfit 

I wore last night

to the award 

ceremony?’

‘I can’t quite 

remember it.’

‘Why?’

‘Wa…

I’m really 

disappointed 

in you, 

Hyeran ah…’

‘What is it?’

‘It’s blue velvet!

My tux was

blue velvet!’

‘So?’

‘You wore blue

velvet dress

when you were

MC at MAMA

2016 red carpet.’

‘I did it to 

match you~’

‘Oppa, 

stop being 

so childish.’

‘Why not? 

It’s fun.’

‘You’re finding 

trouble for 

yourself.’

‘I’m a trouble 

myself, Hyeran ah,

you should know

that by now.’

‘You’re not

 a trouble, 

Oppa,

 but you are a

 trouble-maker, 

I’ll give you that.’

‘Got to go, 

need to shower.’

‘Night~’

‘Good night.’

‘Don’t you dare

 stay up tonight 

or I’ll-’

‘You’ll what?’

‘I’ll unfollow

 you on IG!’

‘You wouldn’t dare!’

‘Watch me.’

‘If you unfollow

me, I guess I’ll 

have to find 

you myself, 

grab your phone

and hit the follow 

button for you

- again.’

‘Like what I did

last time.’

‘Don’t even remind

 me about that, 

Oppa!’

 

‘kkkkkkkk

kkkkkkkk’
