'Taeyong, she hasn't texted me for like, 5 hours. Why shouldn't I be concerned?'

'I mean. It's not like she hasn't texted in a month or something. I'm sure she's okay.'

'Yes, but 5 hours is like a year in her time. She usually texts me every hour.'

'Is she your girlfriend?'

'WHAT NO WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT'

'The way you talk about her sounds like you really like her.'

'Me? Her? Ha!'

Taeyong shrugged. 'Okay then.'

'But all the same,' I frowned. 'Is she okay?'

'Why don't you find out?'

'Good idea. How, though?'

Taeyong inhaled deeply. 'I'm sorry if this comes off as too simple, but why don't you ask her? There's no harm in texting her first.'

I thought for a while. 'Wow. You're a genius, Taeyong.'

'JAZA IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED'

Jaza smiled triumphantly, adjusting her hijab. 'What did I tell you? My plans always work.'

I had been panicking the whole week about the Yangyang situation and how I was suppose to face him. I didn't even know if he liked me. My texts to him had been wholly awkward and preposterous, until Jaza had suggested that I should just stop talking to him for a while and see if he bothered to text me back, and then I could plan accordingly. 

I opened the messaging app on my phone.
