I woke up to an empty bed. The warmth of his skin was gone and instead of that the cold daylight was shining into my face. I looked around the room and searched for any trace of the young man. Since I couldn't find any I decided to just call him. I didn't want to text him. Texting is pretty fun but you can't really know what the other person is really feeling. I was worried that he might text me like everything was okay but in the end he was still sad and depressed. "Park?" "Hello, it's me..." "Oh, good morning Sidney. I didn't want to wake you up..." "You could have. How do you feel?" "Not exactly good but much better thanks to you..." "I hope you'll be better soon... wait. What's it with all that screaming?" "Uhhm. Ugh, don't mind it. There is a boy group at the airport at the moment. The fans are screaming." "Wow, they are really loud." Chanyeol really had to talk very loud so that I could understand him. "But why are you at the airport?" "I'm flying to Japan for an important meeting, but don't be worried, I'll be back soon enough to take you out on our date." "Haha, I didn't think you'd simply stand me up like that. I hope Japan helps you a bit to get distracted from your worries." I heard a big sigh from the other side. "You're way too good to me..." I smiled. "Just because you deserve it." He didn't really respond to that and I started getting worried again. "I'll call you back later form the hotel, okay?" "Yes, sure. I work till 2am tonight, but don't hesitate to call me even when it gets later than that, yes?" "Yes, I promise." "Don't work too much wangjanim!" Finally he gave me a soft laughter. "All right gongjunim. Don't work too much either!" We hung up and I sight and closed the curtains again, deciding to go back to sleep.

"Wow, he's in Japan at the moment? Lucky him!" "Huh? What do you mean Namyeon?" "There is this big music festival at the moment. They have many kpop groups there and most importantly: iKON!" "Sorry, I forgot about your kpop obsession for one moment. But I'm sad that I have to announce that he'll most likely won't be there." "Sad, but he would totally fit in." "I don't know... I mean he's good looking, okay that's an understatement, but I can't imagine him with colorful hair and dancing..." "Don't lie, you're imagining exactly that right now." "Oh my god, stop it Namyeon! You're ruining me!" I smiled and shook my head while my coworker sighed next to me. "The concert must have ended about 15 minutes ago. I think I'll watch the stream when I get home." "Do that and great that Junly guy from me." "What? Oh my god, are you taking about June?" "Probably, I don't know. You know I'm more into girl groups. But isn't BlackPink in the same company as your favorites?" I laughed and took the ringing phone out of my pocket. "Sidney?" "Yes, hello! How was your meeting? Are you okay?" On the other side of the phone I heard laughter and even Chanyeol seemed more relaxed now. "The meeting was great, and I feel a lot better now. My coworkers are helping that as well." I smiled. "I'm so glad that you feel better again." "I feel bad that you were so worried about me Sidney. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Haha, no! Just call me twice a day and I'm happy, okay?" "That's the least I can do!" "It's almost 2am right now, I think you should get some rest. Call me later this morning, okay?" "I will, but don't work too long and sleep tight!" "I will, dream something sweet!" I smiled and we hung up again. "Oh my god." "What?" "You're stuck in a Korean drama series, I swear." "They always end well, I'm not mad about it." "Sidney and...what's his name again?" "Chanyeol." "Sidney and Chanyeol sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" "I think the elementary school just called. They want their student back." "Wait. The name Chanyeol seems pretty familiar to me." "One of these idols again?" "Maybe, I'm not sure." I sighed. "Whatever, come on, let's clean up with me, I wanna go home."

The days passed and Chanyeol called me every day twice, exactly as promised. He seemed to actually get better from day to day and so I was pretty excited on that Friday morning. Today him and I would have our first official date and was really excited to see him again. I left the shower and put on a clay face mask when my phone started ringing. He wanted to facetime me. I covered the front camera of my phone and took the call. "Nice beanie Chanyeol, don't you have a heater in your dorm?" I laughed and saw him pouting. "As long as you cover your front camera you are not allowed to judge my looks, yes?" "I'm not judging. It looks actually cute. But a bit funny." "I refuse to talk to you unless I can see you." "I just came out of the shower and I have a stupid blue clay mask on, spare me!" "That's a bad excuse." "Ugh, okay." I put my thumb away and the 25 year old started smiling like a 5 year old who just got told he could have sweets before dinner. "Oh, hello Smurfette. Do you know where my date is? I'm searching for her..." "Is it you Tyler Joseph? You look so stressed out in that beanie." "That point goes to you." I smiled and the clay crackled down where my smile lines where." "Oh my god, my date is falling apart!" "What a pity... by the way, you have a lot of guitars behind you. Can you play the guitar?" "Now, I have 4 expensive guitars because I play the piano." I put my face into my hands. "Okay, sorry. That question was dumb. But I didn't know you're musical." He gave me winning smile. "I'm full of surprises." "Hopefully no bad surprises." "I can take up the entire space of the bed while sleeping. So you can either get hugged or fall out of the bed. It's your choice." "I heard worse surprises." "Chanyeol, have you seen my aux chord?" The unknown voice seemed to be owner by a good looking guy with peachy hair. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you guys." Chanyeol smiled and showed him to come closer to his phone. "Sidney, this is my coworker Jongdae!" "Nice to meet you Jongdae! " "Hi, so you're the girl Chanyeol keeps telling us about. Well, you seem to be into skin care so we have something in common." He laughed. Chanyeol stumbled through the room and found the aux chord and gave it to Jongdae. "It was nice to meet you, but I'll leave you guys alone again, I'm pretty sure we'll meet each other soon!" He smiled and waved me goodbye but as soon as Chanyeol sat down again I was about to fall off my chair. "You have glasses!" "Uhm, yes. I normally wear contact lenses..." He was about to take them off again but I told him not to do so. "I'm slowly getting mad, how does it come that you're so good looking? You look so good with glasses as well." "Honestly you should be worried that our children will definitely need glasses later. Both parents nearsighted moles..." "We're not even a couple yet and you're already taking about kids..." "You look like you like kids. Especially my kids." "Oh my god, you're rude." "You're cute when you're upset." He laughed and we continued our dumb conversation.

The doorbell rang I and instantly opened said door and wrapped my arms around the tall man. "Oh, seems like someone missed me a lot." He chuckled and ruffled through my hair. "Hello beanie boy!" "Beanie boy is here to treat his girl for some pizza!" Chanyeol grabbed my hand and we walked down the stairs where a silver G Wagon was parking. "Oh my god, who parked that big ass car here?" I stared at the massive vehicle and heard the jingling of a wad of keys behind me. "I didn't want to take an Uber today to be honest." "Park Chanyeol, have you robbed a bank?" "No, I just work really hard." I shook my head as he opened the door for me. "This car is taller than you!" "Should I help you in? Next time I'll bring a ladder for you." She gave me his winning smile again and closed the door behind me. We drove around the city and I was still very much confused. "I didn't know you could make so much money off of managing stuff. But still you're living in a dorm with your friends, that's so cute!" He smiled while driving and I leaned back enjoying the ride.
