I do not know why I'm still nervous but really, I am nervous.. for I don't know what's the reason.

Maybe scared he might got the wrong idea just like what I always thought about him and always scared about?

"Thank you for answering my call. I know it's a bit late to call at this hour but.. uh, I'm just wondering what to.." He paused and slightly chuckle making my corners to lift for a grin, "..call you."

Of course, no, you can't!

"Is this, Kai sunbaenim-aeyo?" I finally speak again and bit my lip shutting very tight with my eyes.

But as soon as realization down on me, the smile on my face vanished quickly.

"Oh. N-ne..." He was seemingly more taken aback now, I can feel it which made me more embarrassed to speak again. "You.. you know me.."

That wasn't a question but rather a statement. Now this is utterly sucks even more. I can't even feel my face the more I held my breath.

One wrong move, and he will surely connect all the dot. If it isn't that obvious already.

I heard him clearing his throat from the other line. Silence filled us for some awkward seconds before I took all the courage I have, to tell a word.

"Ah, yeah." Still hesitant to reveal my identity I paused once again. "Sorry I didn't.. I didn't able to answer your call right away I was too.. I was too busy. I haven't really.. noticed your phone."

Which is very true. If only I could blurt out my identity and my busy scheds for promotion maybe he'll understand.. I guess?

But something is really telling me not to. I just couldn't. I don't know if it's me overreacting with the fact he is a guy or I'm just being a paranoid. But one thing is for sure, it's too risky.

Plus, I knew he's dating or something. I don't want to involve with anyone within those guys in the industry especially someone.. like him.

He's a bad news.

He shouldn't know it was me and it wasn't like it should matter to him. The most important thing right now and should matter to him is that his phone is completely fine and in very good hands.

"I see. Sorry to trouble you but I should be the one here apologizing.."

"Ani. It's nothing."

"No, it's my fault I lost my phone. I should be even thankful for taking good care of my phone.."

"It's.." I shut my eyes tightly again. "It's really nothing.."

I pursed my lips and waited unconsciously for whatever he'd say next. I don't know why either.. maybe it's just out of curiosity.

That, I'm curious.

I don't know, it's like every single words he speak and everytime I see him it's like there were still missing pieces of that mystery puzzle I'd like to solve but I couldn't and shouldn't.

My heart was already involuntary pounding like crazy in anticipation.

I wanted to know something I never really do not know what it is. Like why would I ever anticipate nor care what he'd going to say next.

Even the fact there's nothing I could find so special about his voice neither his face when I tried to remember.

Well, I kinda noticed his right eyes tend to turn smaller than his left eye when he smiled at me for the first time.

But wait. What the hell am I thinking?!

"Can we like, uh, meet or something?" I gasped unconsciously earning a short but soft chuckle from him.
