Hello, It's Cupid

Chapter 3: The Unexpected Call: A Name To Remember

That's all?! Janny's brain was spinning.

"But why?" she asked, genuinely confused.

He chuckled again. "Why can't I stalk you? You should be thanking me for giving you that chair, but instead, you're calling me a stalker. So, mean."

Janny could hear the cute pout in his voice.

She rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the small smile forming on her lips. "I never memorized that moment, okay?" she lied.

"Uh-huh," he teased. "Sure, you didn't."

Janny's face was burning.

And then, just when she thought this conversation couldn't get any crazier, he said—

"You look cute. And I know cute girls can make a good relationship."

Janny's breath hitched.

"I mean," he continued, "as a friend, of course. So... can I be your friend? Or your crush? Or maybe a stalker?"

Janny's brain completely shut down. Was he FLIRTING with her?!

Was this guy pranking her or something?

And then, as if fate wanted to make things even more complicated, he casually added—

"Oh, by the way, I'm three years older than you."

Janny's mind: !!!

She was already struggling to process everything, and now he tells her he's older.

Somehow, she managed to find her voice. "Uh... yes."

He chuckled. "Yes, to what? The crush?"

Janny gasped. "NO! Yes to the friend thing!"

He burst out laughing, and despite herself, Janny found herself laughing too.

But then she turned her head and locked eyes with Sarah—the culprit who had given her number away.

Sarah grinned innocently.

Janny narrowed her eyes. Seriously, girl?!

Before she could throw a pillow at her cousin, he spoke again.

"Well, friend Janny, I'll let you go now. Don't miss me too much."

And with that, he hung up.

Janny stared at her phone.

What. Just. Happened.

Janny exhaled and flopped onto her bed, her heart still racing.

Just when she thought the chaos was over, her phone buzzed.

A message from him.

Unknown Number: Don't save my number with an unusual name like Mr. Stalker or My Chairman. Save it with a cute emoji, okay?

Janny blinked at her screen. Excuse me?

That's when it hit her.

Wait a second...

He had never told her his name.

Her eyes widened. She immediately turned to Sarah.

"Sarah! What's his name?!"

Sarah, who was already enjoying Janny's mini panic attack, smirked.

"It's Jay. J-A-Y."

Then, she burst out laughing.
