Why would Yeonjun say something suspicious and then disappear?

Was this some kind of mind game? Was he supposed to text again? No, that would look desperate. Was he supposed to wait? But what if waiting made it worse?

"Hyung, you're making that face again," Niki pointed out, flipping onto his stomach and resting his chin on his hands.

"What face?"

"The 'I'm going insane but trying to act chill' face."

"I am chill."

"Bro, your eye just twitched."

Beomgyu groaned, flopping backward onto his bed. "I hate this."

Niki snorted. "No, you don't."

"Shut up."

Beomgyu picked up his phone again. Maybe he should just—

DING.

He nearly threw the phone across the room.

📱 YEONJUN
Still thinking about me? 😏

Beomgyu sat up so fast he actually pulled something in his neck. "OW—"

Niki looked at him, unimpressed. "Wow. Physically injured by a text. That's a new level."

"Shut up," Beomgyu muttered, massaging his neck as he aggressively typed back.

📱 PABO!
I forgot you existed, actually.

📱 YEONJUN
Oh? Then why did you reply so fast?

📱 PABO!
I—That was just muscle memory.

📱 YEONJUN
Mhm. Sure.

Beomgyu hated how easily this man could get under his skin.

📱 PABO!
So what did you mean by "trying harder"??

📱 YEONJUN
Wouldn't you like to know? 🤭

Beomgyu threw his pillow at the wall. "I SWEAR TO—"

Niki, watching in absolute delight, was already recording. "This is gold."

"DELETE THAT."

"Not a chance."

📱 PABO!
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

📱 YEONJUN
Doing what?

📱 PABO!
MIND GAMES.

📱 YEONJUN
Pabo-ya~ I don't play games. I just win them. 😌

Beomgyu wanted to fight. Physically. Verbally. Spiritually. All of the above.

📱 PABO!
Congratulations. Your prize is silence.

📱 YEONJUN
Nooo, don't ignore me. I'll get sad. 🥺

📱 PABO!
Sounds like a you problem.

📱 YEONJUN
Wow. So cold. I should've worn a sweater before texting you. 🥶

Beomgyu groaned into his hands. "WHY is he like this?"
