‘Hyeran ah, when can
I meet Kungfu?’
‘You just met Kungfu
a few days ago!’
‘Oh but Kungfu’s just so cute!
I bought some new snack~
Sausage-flavoured~’
‘Oppa, stop with all the treats!
You’re spoiling Kungfu!’
‘I would’ve come find
you tonight if it weren’t
for the shooting…
so tiring today.
I miss Kungfu so much…’
‘I may as well just
send Kungfu to you!
You seem to be more
interested in my dog
than myself.’
‘Are you mad?’
‘No, why would I be?
It’d be nice to have someone
pick up Kungfu’s poop for
me when going out for a walk.
Which, by the way,
is more energy-demanding
than you’d think,
even worse on a hot
day like today.’
‘I’ll take Kungfu out for
a walk next time.’
‘See? I told you you’re
only interested in
my pet!’
‘I didn’t say that.
Fine, how about we walk
Kungfu together? Hmm?’
‘When you have time.’
‘Right…time…’
‘You should sleep now, Oppa,
it’s getting late.’
‘Na, I can chat with
you a bit more.’
‘Showered yet?’
‘Heck, of course!
The first thing I do after
coming back home,
you know,
with the virus going on and all.’
‘Good boy.’
‘Wanna play around of
PUBG before we sleep
tonight?’
‘No!
You need to sleep.
And don’t you dare go
online because I can
see you if you do!’
‘Fine…I’ll just scroll
through Twitter a bit
then sleep.’
‘Make sure your light’s
on when you do that,
don’t want you ruining
your eyes.’
‘It’s not the first time
you remind me of that…
by the way,
you thought of coming
over to my place?
I’m thinking of renovating
it and would love to
hear your ideas.’
‘Renovating?
Is it necessary?
It seems pretty good
to me now.’
‘Just thinking about it,
that’s why I want you
to come over.’
‘Sure it’s not just another
excuse to see Kungfu?’
‘Of course not!’
‘I’ll bring Kungfu over too.’
‘Really?!’
‘I love it when you
play with Kungfu,
it needs a friend like you,
a more energetic one
than myself.’
‘You’re energetic too!
Kungfu listens to me
because I keep rolling
around on the floor,
that’s all.’
‘True, you’re not
unlike a puppy yourself,
Oppa, I’ll give you that.’
‘Hyeran ah,
what if your boyfriend
doesn’t like dogs?
Will you choose Kungfu
or your boyfriend?’
‘Eh?
What on earth are
you talking about?’
‘If that happens,
don’t throw Kungfu away,
give it to me.’
‘You must be mad!
Of course I won’t
abandon my dog!
The one I should kick
out would be my boyfriend
if he really does hate dogs.
But…
why are you even
asking such an odd
question in the first place?
Wait, is your girlfriend
asking you the same thing?
Wait, but Mongryong doesn’t
live with you.’
‘Heck I haven’t got
any girlfriend,
Hyeran ah!’
‘LOL, relax,
you’re the one asking
me this question in
the first place.’
‘It was just a random question…
like like like, like when people
ask us who I will save if both
my girlfriend and mother fell
into the water and I can only
save one of them.
You know, nonsense question!’
‘I see,
you must be quite
stressed out to ask
such a question.
Go to bed, Oppa!
Get some sleep,
your brain’s not
working well!’
‘No, my brain is
working PERFECTLY.’
‘Aigoo…our prince
needs to sleep,
I should stop
texting you now.’
-----------(Incoming phone call)------------
‘Hello? Oppa, why on
earth are you calling me?’
‘You said you won’t text me,
so I called you instead.
Besides, I miss your voice~’
‘My voice is hardly
music to anyone’s ears,
Oppa, unlike you.’
‘No, it’s music to my ears.’
‘Man, you do sound sleepy.’
‘Hmm, how do you know?’
‘Your voice,
so husky and deep,
that’s your about-to-fall-asleep voice.’
‘And how about you?
What’s your
about-to-fall-asleep voice?’
‘I don’t have one
because I just fall asleep!’
‘Sing me to sleep,
lullaby, any lullaby will do.’
‘You know, Oppa,
since I’ve been staying
at home for a rather
long time now,
I’ve been rewatching
old stuff.’
‘Old stuff?’
‘Yeah, you know,
like old movies I used
to watch when I was a kid.
Oh so many memories!’
‘So what did
you watch?’
‘I can’t say it,
you’d laugh at me
for being childish.’
‘We’re all childish.
I doubt we will
ever grow up,
to be very honest,
we’re all just growing
into different stages as a child
as we grow older I think.’
‘Anyway,
I was rewatching…
oh this is embarrassing,
but I was rewatching
the old classic Barbie
movies.’
‘BARBIE MOVIES?’
‘See?
I told you it’d
sound childish!’
‘I think I watched
them too when
I was young…
oh what was the name…
there are like two
girls who switched
places.’
‘The Princess and
the Pauper!’
‘Yeah I think that
was the one…
forgot where I watched it…
maybe at school or something.
So anyway,
are you gonna sing
to me or what?
Don’t try and change
the subject.’
‘I will,
a lullaby from one
of the Barbie movies~’
‘Sure!
I love listening to
you singing in English~’
‘I didn’t practice
so it may sound
weird…’
‘I’m the one asking
you to sing me to
sleep over a phone,
I’m the weird one.’
‘Alright alright,
I’ll sing.
Now Oppa,
turn off all the lights
and shut your eyes.’
~Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
The lamb lies down and rests it's head
On its mother's downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moonlight's glow
And butterfly dreams of a violet rose
Dreams of a violet rose
I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moonlight
The clouds will carry us off tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true~
