Brian connected

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Sorry, it was sudden I asked to call."

"It's nothing,"

"You need to talk about something, don't you?"

"Right."

"I was just saying.."

*sigh*

"Go on, I'm listening."

"I don't know, man, it sounds pathetic."

"Well, if it wasn't, you surely wouldn't feel this way."

"It's just.."

*another sigh*

"I'll be here."

"Whenever you're ready."

*silence*

"Okay."

"I think.. I just had a moment where I thought I would have the chance to be something significant to Young K."

"If I just had noticed that day."

"Significant?"

"I'm sorry, just a little lost, what did you mean by that?"

"Probably like.."

"Being friends, I don't know."

"O-oh."

"Yup, continue."

"Yeah well, I was about to say something along the lines of "I would've been his friend" or something,"

"Then I realized, I won't ever reach his level."

"Next to him, I'm nothing but a joke."

*silent*

"I don't think that's true, Jae."

"I'm not belittling your feelings or anything of that sort, but I'm sure Young K has his own shortcomings as well."

"But he's literally way more successful in life than I am."

"I don't even think I have my future on lock."

"I'm literally have the biggest following in SpicyMemes, damn it."

"Huh?"

"Shit."

"I'm lost."

"You only have 23 followers."

"23 million."

"My bad, I kept it a secret."

"Oh.. you're that guy Jungkook's competing."

"You don't sound surprised."

"Am I supposed to be?"

"Oh my God, see,"

"that says a lot."

*confused*

"Oh, I get it."

"I don't mean it that way, come on."

"I know, sorry, I'm just so negative today."

"It's just.. I guess I'm a little jealous of Young K."

"But he's just like us,"

"A little lost in life, that is."

"I doubt he's lost."

"He's making 7 figures, how could he even be lost at that point?"

"I'm sorry for being stubborn, it just upsets me how I thought I had a chance."

*sigh*

"I understand you."

"Thanks."

"But I think your words are a little bit insensitive."

"O-oh."

"Don't put yourself down so much."

"I know you don't do it intentionally, but it drags other people down too."

"Jae, you're amazing. You don't realize it but your presence is strong."

"You have some things that Young K doesn't have."

"Like what?"

"Maybe.. 23 million followers?" *chuckle*

"That's nothing notable."

"Well, I bet he can't even share memes without getting completely cancelled for doing so."

"Huh? How does that even happen?"

"He's just trying to share memes."

"Do you think he can even do that?"

"I doubt he has any sort of freedom."

"That's something you have."

"Oh."

"I do acknowledge that he's got limited choices sometimes, but he's still way better at life than I am."

"Do you really think you're nowhere near him?"

"I'd be crazy if I thought otherwise."

"Jae, I personally think that no matter the differences you have with Young K,"

"He would still love to be your friend."

"You think so?"

"I really think so."

*mumbling quietly* "Probably even more than that,"

"Thank you.."

"That actually made me feel a little better."

"I want you to know that he's human just like us."

"When you emphasize that large difference between us— I mean, Young K.."

"It would make him feel pressured."

"Oh."

"That is true.."

"He's probably trying to live like a normal person too."

"Exactly."

"Thanks for giving me another perspective on it."

"No, thanks for understanding."

"Honestly, I wish I was smart like you."

"Maybe if I was, I wouldn't have said something insensitive llke that."

"It's fine, I understand where you were coming from."

"I just.. I don't know,"

"I just think Young K would be sad to hear those words."

"Thinking about it.."

"You talk on Young K's feelings a lot."

"You say you're a fan, but I'm not even sure where you stand when you say that."

"Huh?"

"It's because you barely say what you feel about him."

"Like, are you a big fan or just an avid listener?"

"Well.."

*struggling*

"I — Uh.. maybe I'm just in the middle."

"Understandable."

"Hey, to make you feel better,"

"What about watching a movie right now?"

"Oh?"

"Do you have time?"

"Yeah, I just finished all my work."

"Alright."

"Wait, you did mention about working."

"Where do you even work?"

"O-oh."

"That's none of your business."

*groan* "Come on, I'm curious."

"It's not a valuable information."

"Okay, and?"

"I told you one of my secrets, so tell me yours."

"How bold, putting that on me?"

"This is one of the things I hate about you."

"Your secretiveness."

*chuckle* "Let's focus on the things you like about me instead."

"Wow, in what narrative made you think that I'm somewhat into you?"

"I didn't even mean it that way."

*flustered* "Then what??"

"Like friends, I guess."

"You're pretty quick to assume."

"The way you put it obviously made me think otherwise."

"That's on you."

"Ugh. I'd rather list the things I hate about you."

"Then do it."

*quiet*

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"It's a lot." *laugh*

"Fair enough. Well then,"

"Should I list the things I like about you?"

"W-why would you?"

"It's a lot."

*blushing*

"Okay, I'll start.."

"Wait, stop, I'm gonna burst."

"This is so embarrassing, please."

"I haven't even started yet."

"Yes, I know, but I'm getting embarrassed already."

*trying to hold his laugh*

"Okay, let's not do that then."

"Thank you." *sigh*

"What movie are we gonna watch?"

"Hmm.."

"Don't say 50 Shades of Grey."

"I wouldn't."

"However, I do have a better suggestion."

"What?"

"The Human Centipe—"
