Eight: Phone Tag

Melting a Frozen Heart

Minhyuk POV:

I stood by the door even after she closed it behind her. 

"What have I done..." I ask myself, still immobile from where I stood. I made the one person that I love cry right in front of me...I'm such an ! I thought to myself as I finally regained my strength to walk back to my room. I plop myself on my bed, only to lie down and stare at the white ceiling blankly. Moments later, I take out my phone checking to see if I received any messages from anyone.

There was one from Yukwon. I open the text and read it:

Hyung, how's winter break for you? Did you tell her yet?

 I text him back:

I did...in an argument.

I hit the send button and place my arm over my face. Moments later my phone buzzes, notifying me that I received another text message. I open it and read it:

What? What happened?

I reply:

We got into a fight. I'm pretty sure she hates me now. She thought I was lying when I told her.

I send it again and wait for a reply. Seconds later, Yukwon replies back:

Hyung, I don't think she hates you. I think you just need to give her some time and space. You did say she went through a lot right? Maybe it was a reaction from shock and denial. I have a feeling that the emotions are mutual. Minhyuk hyung fighting! ^^

I have no idea where he gets such vibe, but knowing him, he was generally right.

I hope so. Thanks for the advice Yukwon.

I send the message to him and put my phone besides me. I take a deep breathe, close my eyes, and fall asleep. I have no idea how long it was, but when I woke up the sun was shining right on my face. I check my phone again to see the time, but something strange catches my attention:

12 Missed Calls: Kina Choi

I sit upright on my bed to make sure that I read this alret correctly. I read it over and over again, until my brain was able to confirm that in was indeed true. I check to hear if she left a voice message at all, and to my surprise she did.

"Oppa...I'm sorry for yelling at you...I hope...I hope you don't hate me now...please call me back when you get this message...bye."

Out of the twelve times she called me, that was the only message she left. Typical. I dial her number and wait for her to answer, but I reached her voice message instead:

"The person you called is not available at this time, please leave a message after the tone. BEEP!"

I take a deep breathe and record my message, "Phone tag, you're it! I'm calling you back. Message me when you get it. Bye." I hang up the phone and lie back down on my bed.

Eventually I get out of bed, grab my phone with me and walk towards the kitchen. I fill up some water in a small kettle to boil some water for my tea. Turning the heat on, I grab a mug from the cabinet and take out a small bag of green tea. I hear my phone buzzing on the kitchen counter and I quickly ran to grab it. I glance at the caller ID: Kina Choi

I pick up the phone right after I read the ID, "Hello?"

"Oppa?" I hear her reply.

I blew out a shallow sigh of relief and smile, "I'm here. What's up? You called me twelve times; is everything alright?" I ask, trying to sound as casual as I possibly could. There was a short time of silence on the other end. I hear her take a deep breathe and sigh,

"Can I come over for a few minutes? I want to tell you something."

I raise my eyebrows from this sudden question, "Yeah sure, no problem. I just got up to make some tea. It'll be ready when you get here." I say cheerfully.

I hear her chuckle softly, "Okay. I'm on my way now. See ya."

"Alright, see ya then." Once I hung up my phone, I place it on the counter and grab another mug and tea bag from the cabinets. "I wonder what she wants to tell me." I say to myself and prepare the rest of the tea for the eveining.
