Donghae was impatient after he'd sent the letter, checking in his locker every few hours, but a week had passed and he had received no response of any sort. He was actually panicked, thinking maybe he'd freaked Choy out, but it was after a long day of almost tears for him that he received a message.

Choy
Hey! Sorry for being gone so long!

Aiden
Choy! How are you?! I was worried!

Choy
Sorry, Aiden! I'm okay, how are you?

Aiden 
I'm okay too, what happened? Why were you gone for so long?

Choy
Oh, I'm on holiday with my family, I only got service now. Sorry, I didn't know it would take this long, I would've told you before!

Huh, funny. (Y/N) and her family were all on holiday too for some business-related things. His father wouldn't stop complaining about it the whole week. That's the only reason he knew, he didn't actually miss her or anything.

No matter how many times Donghwa and Sungmin otherwise.

Aiden
Oh, cool! Where are you?

Choy
Maldives! It's really nice here!

Aiden
Oh, that's where my friend is right now. I've heard it's really pretty!

Choy
It is! I can't wait to come for out-of-business related reasons. It's awesome here!

Aiden
Nice! I want to go too!

Choy
We should come here for the trip lol

Choy
The weather is good too, we could literally spend the whole evening at the beach.

Donghae immediately blushed as he read the message she'd sent, mind immediately casting back to the evening they did spend on the beach. That was probably one of his most favourite memories as of yet.

Aiden
That would be really nice. I'd love it!

Choy
Me too! :)

Aiden
Is it late where you are? Is Maldives ahead or before Korea?

Choy
I'm 4 hours behind, so not a huge deal!

Aiden
Oh, then you don't urgently have to sleep or anything right now!

Choy
No, definitely not! I made sure I did everything beforehand and ensured I'd have all the time to talk with you when I got service!

Aiden
Aww that's so sweet!

Choy
It had been a really long while can you blame me >-<

Aiden
Hehe no! I really appreciate it!

Choy
No problem :) !!

Aiden
So what did you want to talk about?

Choy
Uhh

Choy
Well how about starting with how you've been the past week?

Choy
What have you been up to?!

Aiden
I was actually waiting for your message!

Aiden
I wrote you a letter.

Aiden 
Did you read it?

Choy
Letter??

Choy
No I didn't receive anything yet

Choy
That's probably because I was in Maldives for really long!

Choy
I checked my locker before leaving, but nothing was there.

Aiden
Oh, that makes a lot more sense!

Aiden
Don't worry about it then!

Choy
Waeee? What was in the letter you wrote??

Aiden
Oh, don't worry about it!

Aiden
Check when you return, okie?!

Choy
Oh okay!

Choy
I hope everything is okay with you!

Aiden
Definitely!

Aiden
Let's move on from there!

Aiden
Plz let's talk about something else

Choy
Oh yes sure!

Choy
What did you have in mind?

Aiden
Honestly I got nothing T-T but I do want to talk!

Choy
How about what you are gonna do tomorrow?

Aiden
Oh yes!

Aiden
Tomorrow I'm going to school.

Choy
Oh nice!

Aiden
Okay this is really awkward.

Choy
I agree...

Aiden
Well, hey, look...

Aiden
There's something really important I need to tell you.

Choy
There's something I want to tell you too.

Aiden
If I don't tell you I fell like I'll be stringing you along for no reason and end up hurting you. And that's the last thing I want to do.

Choy
Yes, me too. I don't want to make you upset.

Aiden
So, let's say it at the same time?

Choy
Call!

Aiden
Great.

Aiden
I actually like you, but I also kinda like someone I know in person. 

Choy
I have feelings for you and another person at the same time.

Aiden
Sorry.

Choy
I'm sorry.

Donghae paused. He blinked a couple of times, staring at the almost identical messages he and Choy had sent each other and released a soft laugh of relief. He chuckled as he saw her typing and hurried to tap on his keyboard.

Choy
Oh.

Choy
Oh.

Choy
OH!

Aiden
You too?!

Choy
Well, yes!

Choy
Obviously I can't help falling for you, but there is someone else too who I like, and I'd feel really bad for stringing you along even if nothing happened between myself and the other person!

Aiden
That is my exact reason.

Aiden
Even though I don't get along with the person in real life, I can't deny that there is something.

Aiden
And even if something were to happen, I don't think...

Aiden
The pick-up lines I tell you are real, I genuinely like you and this back-and-forth thing, I absolutely love it. But, sometimes, I can't stop thinking about this other person...

Aiden
My family tease me about it all the time, but I honestly think I really like her.

Choy
Well, thank you for being honest!

Choy
And for saying what I wanted to say - I couldn't have worded it better myself.

Choy
I do love the thing we have going on, but honestly...

Choy
If the boy were to initiate something... I wouldn't hesitate.

Aiden
And that's
