Surprise Phonecall (1/1)

I was getting ready to sleep, it was still early, but the cold medicine was making me drowsy. I was flipping over the covers when my phone rang. It was an unknown number.“Hello?”“Oy, Lee Hani!”I heard the unknown male shouted at the other line.“Excuse me? Who is this?”He chuckled.“Jang Hyunseung’s on the line.”Hyunseung? “Oy, Hani, are you there?”“Yeah. How are you doing, Hyunseung? And how did you get my number?”I heard the sound of him shuffling around.“Wait, I’m making myself comfortable.” He said.“Sure, take your time.”I hoped he sensed my sarcasm. I yawned for the umpteenth time, and so I laid myself down on my bed. “I’m good now. What are you doing, Hani?”“I’m going to bed, actually. And you didn’t answer my question. How did you get my number?”Did avoiding questions run in Beast too?“Oh, haha! I have my way.”Yepp, they avoided questions just fine.“And you’re going to sleep? It’s only 9, that’s early, Hani.”I heard him smiling.“Cold medicine.”“Oh.” “I’m bored. The guys just left.”I guessed he had made up with Junhyung, after all.“So... you decided to call me?”Since when did we get this close?“Haha! You’re my angel, you said so yourself. Who else should I turn to when I’m in need?”Whatever you say, Hyunseung. I was having a hard time keeping my eyes opened right now.“Uh, Hani?”“Just keep talking, I’ll listen.” “Do you know that the food here is the worst of all?”“The whole world knows that, Hyunseung.”I let out a yawn.“How much longer do you think people can swallow this?”I shifted myself, trying to find a more comfortable position.“As long as they stay at the hospital, I guess.”“Then how long do you think people can survive without food?”“Um, three to four days?”“How long do you think people can survive without water?”Excuse me?“Yah, is this some kind of a Science pop quiz?”I heard him laugh.“Okay, okay, one last question. How long--”“Yah! Hyunseung--”“How long have you been in love with Junhyung?" I shot myself up.“W-- What?”“Do you know that Junhyung is actually your – dum dum dum – stalker?”Did I heard him right, or was I somewhat high from the medicine, that I was imagining things right now?“Hyunseung?”He chuckled.“Well, he’s not really could be called a stalker, he never really takes your pictures and fills them on his wall, but he does go to your home every night, to check up on you. He never stayed long, though. After he made sure you’re home, he would stay at the playground near your house for a while, before he went home.” What on earth is this? “Wait wait wait! Let me digest this, one by one. So what you’re saying is...”“Junhyung checks up on you every, I mean, every, I repeat, every, night.” Oh. “And...”“He’ll stay at the playground for a while, until he is ready to go home.”“P-- Playground?”“Yepp. The playground.” My. “A-- And what about the one you said earlier, you’re saying that...”“That you’re in love with him? Yeah, we figured that out. But that fool didn’t.” God. “You see, when you were with Joon last night, he was there. So, we kinda know what happened between you and Joon.”My heart was beating so loud, I could even hear the babumpings in my ears.“And he said that you already have someone else in your heart. It is so stupid of him, to think that he couldn’t have a chance with you, isn’t he?”My hands started to tremble, and my eyes started to water.“He might as well sitting on the swings right now, Hani. If you want to catch him.”I heard Hyunseung smiled, and soon, he hung up. And right away, I jumped out of my bed.
