[CONTENTID2]                                                -Ten o’clock at night, IU gets off work-

__________IU:   I have to call and ask Luna for help *press 1 on phone*

                                                -ring ring-

________Zelo:    Hi Love.

__________IU:   (Eh?) Z-Zelo?

________Zelo:    Wassup? Did you miss me already? Haha *rubs nose*

__________IU:   (HUH?) H-How are you using Luna’s phone?

________Zelo:    Luna? Haha what are you talking about? This is my number.

__________IU:   Eh… I was sure I press one… *looks at screen* *Zelo’s name* (EEP! That’s right I changed Luna’s number to two and Suzy to three…)

________Zelo:    W-What? My number is one?! *excited* Wah thank you Love!

__________IU:   *blush* Ah no! It’s… *mumbles*

________Zelo:    Hmm? Haha don’t worry. I don’t care about the number on the phone. I only care for the number in the heart. *fists heart*

__________IU:   W-What are you talking about!

________Zelo:    *chuckles* Hehe nothing. You just got off work?

__________IU:   U-Um… *nods*

________Zelo:    So… you change the numbers on your speed dial, got anxious about our coming up date, and forgot that you change the numbers and accidently called me, right?

__________IU:   (H-How does he know so much for his age?) Yea…

________Zelo:    Pfft… haha that’s my Love for you.

__________IU:   *embarrass* E-Enough already…

________Zelo:    Ah, sorry. *cough* You worked hard today. Hurry home and get some rest.

__________IU:   W-What about the game? I thought we are going to go training?

________Zelo:    *firmly* No!

__________IU:   *startle* (Nnn… that was unexpected.)

________Zelo:    You must rest. The game is important too, but you are more important.

__________IU:   *embarrass* (What is he babbling about.)

________Zelo:    If you try to get on I will know. I will be on my character all night.

__________IU:   Y-You’re so persistent!

________Zelo:    Hehe, if I catch you online, I’ll come bother you at work every day. *grins*

__________IU:   AH— (That won’t be good… for me.)

________Zelo:    Understood?

__________IU:   *slowly nods* Un… (Wait… am I being treated as a child? WHY AM I OBEYING?)

________Zelo:    Well I won’t bother you anymore. Get home safely and tuck yourself into bed. Good night and sweet dreams. Love you!

__________IU:   Oh… un.

________Zelo:    *giggles * (She really is shy isn’t she.) I’ll call you tomorrow! *hangs up*

__________IU:   Ah I— oh, he hung up already… (I guess I should send him a text.) *types types*

________Zelo:    -ding ding- Oh, a text. *reads* You hung up so fast… I didn’t get to say good night to you too, so good night and also sweet dreams.

                                                Zelo covers his mouth to hide the big smile on his face.

__________IU:   *blush* I-I guess I should go home *walks walks* Huh? Am I obeying his every word?!?!

                                                -In IU’s room-

__________IU:   *recalls* “You must rest. The game is important too, but you are more important.” *blush from embarrassment* Aish damn him… I can’t sleep OR get online…

                                                IU tosses and turns on her bed, and then realizes she forgot something.

__________IU:   That’s right… call Luna. *finger over 1* W-Wait it’s number two… got to remember or I will do what I just did earlier… *presses 2* *blush* AISH STOP BLUSHING SELF!

________Luna:   What? Who’s blushing?

__________IU:   (Oops Luna already picked up.) Ahahah it’s nothing… *knuckle to the head*

________Luna:   *cries* OH YEAH IT’S MY PINOCCHIO! OMO YOU CALLED ME!

__________IU:   *holds phone at arm’s length*

________Luna:   SO? So what did you call me for? *excited excited*

__________IU:   *puts phone back to ears* I-I need help.

________Luna:   Of course, just tell me! I’ll do anything I can to help. Is it your family? Or your love life?

__________IU:   W-What LOVE LIFE?!

________Luna:   AH! IU! My ear…

__________IU:   *cough* W-Well it is about Zelo.

________Luna:   NO! No no no talk to Mama about these things! Papa will just give you bad advices.

________Suzy:   *sneezes* Ah-ah-cho… DAMN IT WHO’S TALKING ABOUT ME?!

__________IU:   *felt a chill* I-Is it me or it’s getting chilly?

________Luna:   Huh? It’s still summer…
