Alex : You there?

Yunhee : Yeah...

Alex : So, how did your trip go?

Yunhee : Alex, I think I'm going to break down now

Alex : What? Why?

Yunhee : They are not here

None of them

Not even the daycare

Everything's gone

Alex : No, why would you think so?

Yunhee : What should I think then?

I came here hoping they would be here

Or if they're not, I could get their phone number or their address

But no, they didn't even leave behind a note

Even that bitch in the red jacket

I hate my life

Alex : Don't say that

I'm sorry

I shouldn't be encouraging you to go there

Yunhee : It's not your fault, goddamit

I'm just angry with myself

I waited for him

I waited for him for 21 years

Why did I wait for him?

Why can't I just forget him like a normal person?

Why the damn fuck did I hoped that he would return?

Alex : Nugget, please calm down

Yunhee : I fucking can't

I love him

I fucking love him

But he won't 

because I was no one expect a person he liked when we were kids

He could be married

he could even have kids

Why didn't I listen to my mom and friends when they told me to move on

Why the fuck did I even loved him

Alex Calling...

The message was enough for Yunhee to freak out. She let out a small squeal, making the person next to her in the bus flinch. The man looked at her devastated state, puffy eyes, messy hair, red nose  and decided to move to another seat, leaving her alone. She bite her nails, thinking if she should accept the call or reject it. After battling with the demon and the angel in her head, she slowly pressed the accept button.

" He-hello" she said timidly. She was nervous. Her hand held her phone tightly beside her left ear while the other one was wrapped around the seat tightly that her knuckles turned white.

" Hey..."

His voice was deep, really deep that it sent shivers to her spine but at the same time, tender too. He sounded as if he was calculating things, as if he does not want thing to go wrong.

" ... "

Yunhee didn't say anything. She was dumbstruck and speechless, just by listening his voice. It was impossible for someone's voice to make her run wild like that. It was as if she was talking to her date for the first time.

" Nugget, are you okay?"

He asked, a tint of nervousness in his voice. Normally, his nickname would make her angry. But right now, she couldn't stop the blood rushing to her cheeks. She must look like a tomato right now.

" I... Why did you call me?"

She asked, swallowing the lump in her throat. She actually liked his voice, no she liked him. She always did, but her love for Taehyung blinded her love for him. Now how is she going to tell him that?

" You don't seem okay, I wanted to check you..."

He chuckled. Damn, even his laugh sound melodious to her ears.

" You... You"

" Are you okay, nugget?"

He asked again, his voice stern, but still soft.

" I don't know. I don't know if I'm okay or not"

She choked. Tears were now falling on her slightly puffy cheeks. She wanted to hide them, she doesn't want anyone in the bust to know she's crying, but she can't stop them.

" I feel betrayed. I feel useless. I should have been earlier. Maybe if I was, I could meet them. I could tell them that the moments that I shared with them were the best ones in my life. I could meet him and tell him that I like him too. But I didn't. I was a coward, I thought that they won't accept me, that he won't accept me. And now, they're gone. He's gone. I didn't even had the chance to say a proper goodbye"

" Nugget, calm down. They're not forever gone, are they? You could still search for them"

" But how? I don't even know where they are now. Why do I always make the worst choice, Alex?

"Why is it that every time I did something, I always regret it?"

" Nugget, do you regret knowing me?"

He asked, a tint of hurt in his voice. And just like that, all her thoughts vanished. The only thing she was thinking right now was him, his voice and his impression on her.

" No, I don't regret knowing you, Alex. Knowing you was the best thing happening to me. I never regret that"

" Nugget, I think you have a really nice voice"
