*When Dohwa woke up in a hotel, and found your business card by the bedside.

Sitting on the car as he stared at your business card, he gathered the courage to contact you.

‘Thanks for yesterday. It’s been a while. Where should I send the hotel bill?’ He typed.

The moment he hit send, he threw his phone aside, waiting for your response.

‘I should at least pay for the hotel bill.’ He reasoned to himself. But the truth was, he just wanted an excuse to see you again.

He stared blankly at the window as his manager scolded him for being careless. Then his phone vibrated. He immediately grabbed his phone and checked your message.

‘You remember?’ You texted.

He waited for a few seconds before responding. ‘I remember.’

‘You remember!^^’ you replied.

He was about to type, when you sent another message.

‘Forget the hotel bill. We ran into each other by chance, so how about we grab a meal sometime?’

His heart skipped a beat as he read your message. He composed himself and texted back. ‘Sure.’

He put his phone down and stared at the window again, a silly little smile plastered on his face.

A few days passed and it was time for the meetup. After ten long years. You were both in the same room, the same table, yet the atmosphere was so awkward and tense. Dohwa had his mask and glasses on.

“Um.. Hi..?”

You tried to start a conversation, but he just stayed silent.

“…Hello?”

You spoke again. Dohwa could barely contain his laugh. He was so excited to see you again.

“Hello?”

He repeated your word, as if mocking you.

“..Yeah-”

You responded.

“Isn’t ‘HELLO’ a formal greeting?”

He took his glasses and mask off.

“Aren’t you happy to see me?”

He asked, with that same smirk on his face that he had years ago.
