Seungcheol calling...
Call Connected
"HOLY SHI― HELLO?!"
"Uh, hello?"
"SEUNG FUCKING CHEOL WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?"
"Seung what? Excuse me but I believe that we haven't even spoken to each other before, am I right? What made you think that you could talk to me like that, sir?"
"Putangina. Stupid dementia! 'Wag mo nga akong ma-ingles-ingles d'yan, nakakaurat ah."
"Sir, tumawag lang naman po ako para sana tanungin kung sino kayo because my phone's history shows your number in my recent calls this past week when I can't even recall one conversation we had. You don't have to be this rude."
"I'M NOT― Ugh, okay. Look, I'm sorry but... how do I explain this. Tangina."
". . ."
"Are you feeling okay right now?"
"...Baymax?"
"Yeah, sort of. Ugh! Fuckity-fuck. Can't believe I'm doing this but, on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?"
"HAHAHAHA!"
"For fuck's sake, just answer the goddamn question, Seungcheol."
"Okay okay. Hahaha I guess 1? I'm actually pretty fine right now."
"Sigurado ka?"
"Yep!"
"So bakit hindi ka tumawag ng dalawang araw?"
"Ha?"
". . ."
"Sinisipon ka?"
". . ."
". . ."
"Seungcheol, are you sure you're fine?"
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine."
"But all those screaming and crying. Ayos lang ba ang nanay mo?"
"What screaming? Ayos ka lang ba? My mom's upstairs, doing the laundry. Baka naman ikaw ang hindi ayos d'yan."
"Oh. Thank, God."
"O...kay? Now would you mind introducing yourself to me?"
"Seungcheol, napapagod na ako."
"Ha?"
"Nakakapagod nang paulit-ulit na ipakilala 'yung sarili ko sa'yo. Kinakalimutan mo lang din naman ako kinabukasan."
"What? Lol I have a perfectly good memory. How could I forget someone's voice as beautiful as yours?"
"Tangina mo ba? Ngayon mo pa talaga naisipang sabihin 'yan?"
"Um..."
"Seungcheol."
"Yea?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Can... Can you not forget me?"
"You know that doesn't make any sense at all."
"J-just try. Please. Don't forget me. Just once."
"That's a silly question. How can I not forget you when I don't even know you in the first place?"
