Jisung wasn’t sure how long he should wait until he called Minho, but he figured it shouldn’t be another week. On Tuesday, after wrapping up at work, he dials out to make a personal call.
It rings for a while, and Jisung is sure he’s going to get an automated message, figuring someone like Minho surely isn’t home at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday evening to answer the phone call of some stranger he hardly–
“Hello?”
“H– Hello! Hi! Uh. Hello.”
A gentle chuckle comes from the other end of the line. “Han Jisung.” It’s not a question.
“Yeah,” Jisung laughs, “it’s me. Hi.”
“You said that. Hello back.” Some rustling and a bit of static comes through before the hushed, silken voice on the other end murmurs, “I was worried you may not call.”
“Of course I was going to call. I just… Aren’t you supposed to, like, wait or whatever before you call someone you…you like?”
“Wait for what?”
Jisung frowns. “Well… I dunno. Just, you know, wait.”
“You like me?”
“You’re so annoying,” Jisung huffs, smiling at the cackle he receives.
“Come dance with me tonight, Jisungie.”
It’s quiet for a moment in Jisung’s cubicle, though the sound in his head is cacophonous, filled with loud music and hot breaths.
“Ji–?”
“On a, a Tuesday?”
“Why not?”
“I dunno.”
“Is this like the waiting thing? Because you’re not supposed to?”
“Of course I was going to call. I just… Aren’t you supposed to, like, wait or whatever before you call someone you…you like?”
“Wait for what?”
Jisung frowns. “Well… I dunno. Just, you know, wait.”
