"Hey, watch your voice." Top said, irritated. "I don't help because they can do it by themselves and they insisted it. But yesterday, they asked me to help them since they need my godly wits."

"Godly wits?" Bom repeated, laughing. "What the, Top?"

Top blushed, his cheeks reddening while Bom continued to laugh, clutching at her stomach. I smiled, but am frowning deep inside, wondering why the good things, the perfect ones, don't stay forever.

I played with my iced coffee, eating the whip cream using the straw instead of the usual. Top was being matured and drank plain black coffee while reading the newspaper. Bom was again, speaking with someone over the phone. I blew the straw, but the whip cream won't fall out, so I ended up eating it again and when I was about to repeat it again, the whip cream was already gone. I exhaled in frustration.

You see, this most important idiot is five minutes late. Waiting for five minutes is like waiting for three hours when you don't have your phone to keep your boredom in the neutral state, and it feels like I've been waiting for eternity. Where's your phone, you ask? Well, because I was too hasty, I forgot to bring it with me. I left it on my bedside table, and I just hope it won't ring.

I was about to get up and request the employees for another whip cream when Bom suddenly bolt up. In a quick motion, she placed her phone back inside her pocket and shrieked, so loud my ears almost popped. Top looked up at her, but just grinned.

"Come on, Dara! Aren't you excited to see him?" Bom shouted at me, her eyes wide with amazement.

I was about to ask who when I saw him. It was just like in a slow motioned, black and white movie. He walked inside the café, neatly dressed in his pinstriped suit, gray necktie and combed-back hair. The girls looked at him in awe, while their boyfriends try to keep their cool about it. He smiled, so sudden, and it was like a flashback tool. I quickly remembered a scene inside my memory lane.

"Come on, don't you want to marry me?"

"Why would I?"

"'Cause I'm better than your future boyfriend?"

"Dream on, -"

"-Donghae." I managed, barely a whisper. He smiled at me, and ruffled my hair.

"Hey, Da-"

But his sentence was never finished, because the last syllable was pronounced inside my mouth. Bom placed a hand on her mouth and cried, "Oops. Sorry, my bad. Actually, it was my elbow but still, my bad."

I pushed him away, gently and said, "That wasn't a nice greeting."

Donghae smiled once again. "I agree."

I don't know why, but I felt the need to turn. It was just a gut feeling.

So, with my hands still on Donghae's chest, I turned.

And my eyes widen when I saw Jiyong.

I came home late, because Donghae dragged us to all of the places he wants to visit while he's still here for a business trip in Jejudo. He was sorry for the kiss, especially that he saw Jiyong too by the window.

"We're not dating anymore." I told him after the nth apologize, finally shutting his mouth up. Donghae didn't mention about the kiss anymore, or questioned anything about the break up.

I hooked my tote bag at the back of my door, and jumped on the bed. I grabbed my phone from the bedside table, and browsed through the missed calls. Mainly from Bom and mom, but one number stood up. It was from Jiyong, received at five in the afternoon.

I almost jumped when my phone suddenly rings, and quickly, I answer. "Hello?"

There was a sigh. "I thought you weren't fine."

I paused for a moment. "Jiyong?"

He laughed, but there was an edginess in his voice. "Who else can it be?"

"You sound weird." I said, after minutes of contemplating and debating with my subconscious.

"You take care." He hung up, quickly, too quickly that I didn't have the time to bid him good night.

I cried, again after a day and I don't know why the tears strolled down automatically against my will.

He'll call me at night right before I go to bed just so he knows that he's the last voice I hear
