BAESISI - in the state of smiling lightly and quietly with one's mouth slightly open (Source: Naver Dictionary)

You know that sudden feeling when your lips automatically smiles at the mere thought of someone?

And seeing their smile puts a smile on your face too. Like there's this warm feeling that grows from your stomach. Yes, the stomach. Then it grows and spreads in your whole body and it envelopes your heart and you just thought to yourself "It feels good to see you. Everything will be okay."

The first notes of the new song filled the whole room.

Ilhoon closed his eyes and leaned back on his chair.

He listened to every note of the new song he drafted as he relaxed in his music room.

He wanted to come up with a sweet song that will make people's heart feel warm. He already has the right music, but the hardest part in composing is finding the right words to go along with the sound.

There are tons of sweet love songs already released and almost all the words are already used to describe how one feels about the love of their lives. It is a challenge to use words, combine it with another, and touch the heart of the listener.

He clucked his tongue as he tries to conjure the feeling of being in love.

It wasn't hard to do that. He just had to think of her.

Just as he was getting the feeling, his phone interrupted him.

A text message.

Hey, scammer! Wherre are youi?

He immediately smiled at the first sentence. He didn't need to check who it was. Only (Y/N), his best friend, calls him like that. She kept on telling him that he should try being a salesman because when he buys stuff and describes to her about those things, she suddenly wanted to buy one too. But when she already bought the stuff, she will not get that same description that Ilhoon told her. At the end, she will say that he lied and that he's just a scammer.

He replied: I'm at my studio. Working. You should stop calling me that.

Why do you think birds chirp? Can't thye just bark?

He was confused for a bit but he realized what's happening. He knows her. They've been best friends since grade school. Since that time she let him borrow her calculator during Math. They've been inseparable since then. Now that they're both grownups, their friendship still continued.

Are you drunk? He replied back.

Noooo.. I feel alive!

What? Where are you?

Ilhoon waited for a reply. Minutes passed and still nothing.

He got worried as the minutes passed by and finally he decided to give her a call.

Two calls, she missed both.

The sickening worry grew from the pits of his stomach as he thought of terrible things that might've happened to her. He tried to calm himself and think. Where could (Y/N) be at this time?
