Phone Call

Jo-who?

I decided to call no name since my skip day was progressively getting more boring and I needed the entertainment.

"Yello~" I greeted as the phone was answered.

"Hello."

"... You're not him." I said after a while.

"Well, I am a him but I'm not the him you're looking for. He's in the bathroom."

"Ah I see." This also wasn't his friend I'm used to hearing that I've dubbed shortie. "Well I could just call later if he's busy."

"Nah, this is okay. I've been curious about you."

"Oh uhh... okay?"

"Do you know who Jo- he is?"

"Is his name Johe? Also you can speak in Korean if it's easier. "

"No that's not his name so I'm going to take that as you don't know." The boy said immediately switching to Korean. His words came much easier to him.

"Nope and I don't particularly care." I said curtly.

"Then why do you talk with hyung?"

"I don't know. It's just nice to talk to someone you'll never see. It's easier."

"You make it sound like you never want to meet him."

"No, I just think I never will. Korea is kinda on the otherside of the world for me."

"Then why do you speak it so well? Why did you learn?"

"That's a personal topic for me." I say after a moment.

"Too personal to share?"

"Not really I just never do."

"You're extremely comfortable talking to strangers."

"You're extremely comfortable asking strangers personal questions." I shot back.

There was an embarrassed silence.

"Sorry..."

"It's alright." I assured him.

"Are you not curious about Hyung at all?"

"Of course I am. It's human nature."

"Well, what if you had the chance would you meet him?"

"Sure."

"Yah Kookie, What are you doing?"

"Hyung go away."

"No. Please love me! Wait why do you have Mon's phone?"

"His girlfriend called."

"Eh?! Why didn't I know about this?"

"Because no one cares to tell you anything."

"I-I'm not his girlfriend." I hastily added.

"She sounds familiar... Is she-"

"Yes hyung, that's her." Kookie (I guessed that was his name) said.

"Yahhhhh, Mon's got game."

I scoffed "About as much as a fish."

The two burst out laughing at my comment though I was completely serious.

So is his name Johe or Mon?

"Kookie, Chim chim have you seen my- ... Seriously? Can I not leave my phone alone with any of you?"

"Nope." Kookie simply replied.

"Hand it over and go help Jin in the kitchen."

"Ne." The two other boys said in unison. There was some russling and silence.

To be honest the names sound familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Whatever, he'll be Johe for now.

"You really didn't go to class huh?"

"Nope. I told you I wasn't gonna." I leaned my head back against the couch and stared up at my yellow popcorn celling. "So... your roommates?"

"Something like that, yeah. They didn't bother you did they?"

"No, Kookie was just curious."

"Yea I figured. So did they tell you my name?"

"Not really. Though I've decided to call you Johe."

"Joh- where did you get that from?" He laughed.

"Nowhere and everywhere."

"Very cryptic."

"Thank you."

"I gotta go though. I'm helping clean the dorm."

"Mkay. Talk to you later then."

"Bye muffin."

I rolled my eyes. "Bye Johe."
