Niki groaned as he slowly adjusted his eyes to the morning sun blinding him. He squinted his eyes to look at the time, 9:32. Too early for a sunday. As he adjusted himself to go back to sleep, realisation suddenly dawned on him. No way! Shit! he picked up his phone and unlocks it just to see the drunk texts he sent Jiwoo last night.

Niki's POV

24 December 09:39am

Jiwoo, I can explain
please don't be mad

i'm sorry, i shouldn't have
said that so recklessly
09:42am

i wasn't even that drunk,
i guess the alcohol and drowsiness
together took a toll on me.
09:45am

RIKI LOL
look at you being dramatic
and panicky, it's not that bad
10:33am

okay i guess i just prepared
myself for the worst
10:40am

but now that you're sober
you can tell me about it
were those just empty words
or you meant em?
10:42am

oh well,
might as well just man up
before it's too late right?
if you believe in 'drunk state,
sober thoughts' then there
you have it, the answer
10:45am

then why apologise
if you were being sincere?
10:47am

i just, well how do i say this
it doesn't take a genius to figure
out how your perception towards
all these changed after your past,
it just felt like a selfish thing to do
just saying everything i wanted to
without taking your feelings into
consideration and i wanted to
apologise for that
10:55am

okay i get where you're
coming from, honestly
but also i took it well, everything
you said to me last night :)
i actually hoped you meant em
even if you were drunk?
10:58am

i may have realised it too late
but you made me come out
of a really bad place i've been
in for a very long time:)
and for that i'll be forever
grateful to you too
11:02am

i just released a huge
breath of relief i didn't
know i was holding in
11:06am

i don't want to be jumping
into conclusion just because
of this conversation but
time will tell?
we've got a lot to figure out
right now and i'd love to
be in a good place completely
before taking things any further.
11:10am

of course, i understand
i'm just glad we had this
conversation

don't you have a flight to
catch though?
11:14am

i'm surprised you remember,
omw to the airport now lol
11:18am

out of all the things i said
last night, d'you wanna know
which one i meant the most?
11:19am

mmhm?
11:19am

when i asked for your photos
11:20am

you gotta be kidding me
there's no way i'll agree to that
11:23am

but why not?
you know how i look like now
cause of the photo i sent, which
i still have no idea why i sent it
11:25am

nice try,but that was on you
hmm since you already
sent it, tell me which one is you
i still haven't figured that out
there's literally four of you
11:28am

'nice try' but good luck on that
11:30am

ofc what else did i expect
but yk i have a gut feeling
that you're the first one
11:33am

interesting pick
11:35am

come on, Riki
it's not that hard now, is it?
moreover the first one looks
more like konon compared
to the rest...
11:38am

if i tell you, will you send me
photos when you go to osaka?
11:40am

sure, why not?
11:42am

well then,
you guessed it right, kudos!
try not to fall in love with me
11:45am
