Colega (1/1)

I leaned against the bed frame, trying to stiffle my laughs. I hugged Sana who was next to me trying to cover her own mouth, as we watch the little scene in front of us. Mina sat in front of us, on the hotel bed, with my phone by her ear. "Hey, this is Mina"That simple sentence was enough to get a huge reaction from Sana and Nayeon, who was on the edge of the bed, a towel covering her mouth. I could hear him stuttering, confused at what was happening. It took me everything to try and not let out a laugh as i heard him trying to ask how Mina got his number."Jungyeonie gave this number to me, I didn't call the wrong number did I?"A muffled 'No, No' was heard and Sana and I couldn't hold it back anymore. Nayeon had to drag us a couple of feet away, so as to not disturb the call. He must have heard our laugh because their conversation switched to japanese. Well that ain't fun anymore. Sana was too lazy to translate what they were saying, while Nayeon and I completely gave up. Sana went to the other bed, pulling out some chips to eat while Nayeon proceeded to the toilet. I walked back to Mina, sitting next to her by the bed. She wasn't paying much attention to me, focusing more on the phone call. It sounded like they had dropped the formalities, speaking to one another casually. She was more relaxed this time, a slight smile on her face."Yes, yes i just wanted to thank you for introducing the the manager to us. We managed to book the upper booth for the party thanks to you."She had a sheepish tone as she said that. It was unlike her to be shy around people but this time, it felt different. It was a different kind of shy, and I couldn't help but tease her for it. Her eyes darted at me, and in return i gave her a knowing look. She rolled her eyes away but i could see the embarrassment on her face. "I wanted to ask if you'd like to join us after your gig? I figured it would be nice to have more people to enjoy my birthday with. It's fine if you don't want to"There was a brief pause of silence as Mina waited for an answer. She started biting her lower lip after a second, as she started expecing the worst. When he finally did answer, her expression did a 180. She started beaming as if she just won the lottery and she turned to me, giving me the thumbs up, figuring i knew what she asked him. Her face suddenly stiffened, her cheeks turning red. She blinked a couple of times, as thought trying to process whatever he said. "He-here. you can uhhh talk to him now."She handed the phone to me, not looking me in the eyes. Her cheeks were burning red and even her ears were starting to blush hard."Hello?""Jungyeon?"As I answered him, i kept my eyes on Mina, who was still as stone. She had her hands cupping her cheeks, trying to hide the blushing cheeks. Despite that, you could see the small grin on her lips as stared at the floor, her hands rubbing her cheeks slowly."The hell did you say to her?""Nothing much, more importantly, the hell was that about?"Thankfully, he didn't sound angry. In fact, he sounded more amused than anything."What, i just figured I'd do a little prank on you since you tried to scam me of that promise this morning.""Ah guess you figured that out huh... Well you still remembered my number so thats something."His laughter rang through my ears, and i could already imagine the shit-eating grin on his face. This man."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't really expecting you to actually want my help. I didn't think you were the type to need help with picking up someone.""I'm sorry but not everyones a natural flirt like you apparently are."The sudden silence on the other end meant i just hit the nail. I leaned back against the chair, trying to barter a deal in my head. I looked around the room, finally noticing the girls paying attention to Mina. She was trying to hide herself, but Nayeon and Sana were trying to pester her with questions. I stood up and walked to the door, intending to continue our conversation in the corridor. He was still trying to come up with an excuse when i finally confirmed we were in private."Save it. Doesn't matter whether you were trying to flirt or not.""What do you mean? Did i say something wrong? What's with the sudden tone change.""Look, whatever it is you said to Mina just a few minutes ago, it left quite an impression on her. i'm saying this as her friend and member. I think she might have a cruch on you."There was another suffocating silence on the other line, as thought he wasn't expecting this sudden conversation."As her friend and member, I know about all her past relationships and what she's been through, and i can say right here right now, I've made my decision to help you and her get together.""You... don't even know me?""And so?""And you want to be my wingwoman?""Only if you be my wingman?"He suddenly burst into laughter, loud enough that you could hear it down the corridor, if that was even possible."I knew it! HAHAHAHAHAHA"He continued laughing, so i had to put some distance between my phone and ears, trying to minimise the volume of my phone at the same time."You almost got me there, Jungyeon, almost got me there.""Momma didn't raise a fool boy. If I'm gonna be needing your help, you'll be needing mine.""Scratch my back i scratch yours situation huh? Fair enough. I don't know how much you said about Mina was true but hey, I'm down with making our agreement legit right now."
