fate, lover

(03) Invitation

I lazed around in bed for a half hour. It was the weekend, so there couldn't be anything to do. Sehun told me to call, but how could it be easy to call someone so busy?

김여주

What... No. Let's not send it.

I wrote and deleted text messages dozens of times. I met the person I wanted so badly, but why couldn't I even contact them properly? I was so ashamed of myself that I hit my head a few times.

"Ring ring ring ring"

Oh Se-hoon again. I didn't save the number, but it's engraved in my head and won't go away.

I was debating for a while whether to answer the phone or not, and then the call suddenly hung up.

김여주

Oh my gosh!!! Why did you hang up!!!

I lost my temper at Sehun, who wasn't even in front of me.

I quickly got up from my seat and called again, fearing that I might not be able to get through if I didn't do it now.

오세훈

Hey, hello. Why aren't you answering your phone? Are you asleep?

김여주

Ah.. no!! No, that's not it?? Oh my..

I screamed for no reason, feeling a pang of anger. Perhaps my voice was hoarse, but Sehun chuckled.

오세훈

What do you mean, it's not true, you idiot?

김여주

What if it's Bingshin... Elsa??

A moment of silence. I knew it wasn't fun, but I didn't expect it to be this quiet.

김여주

Oh, hey... I'm sorry...

오세훈

No. You're just Elsa. Your face is just okay.

"Stop it, stop it?" I suppressed my anger. "Yeah... I'm not in a position to be angry." I took a deep breath. Oh Se-hoon must have heard that sound because he burst into laughter.

오세훈

Yeah, you're prettier. Is that okay now? Okay?

If I were Sehun, who was still half-smiling as he spoke, I would have hurled a volley of curses at him. I had no choice but to endure it.

오세훈

Oh, this isn't it. Yeoju, do you want to come to the EXO concert?? It would be perfect if our members also saw it.

김여주

I heard it's really hard to get tickets. I feel bad about going that way, so I can't...

It's okay, it's okay.

I was starting to think that it was okay because of Sehun's voice stopping me like that.

김여주

Yeah, yeah, I'll go. I'll go.

He smiled and said it was good to hear my reluctant response. He told me to take a picture of my address and send it to him, saying he'd send me an invitation, and hung up.
