JAE'S POV

I'm visibly anxious waiting for his response. So much so that I have become disabled at taking selfies. I huff and place my phone down on my desk. It's been uncomfortably long since I asked him for a social media, and I'm starting to think it's a little suspicious.

I sit down at my desk and bite my lip. I don't know if I'm more anxious about Luna's proposal to go to Las Vegas or for Justin to reply to me. I unlock my phone and open my email to pass by the anxious time.

I ignore my school email for now— because I won't think about school until I'm actually at school — and focus on my business email. Due to my steadily rising following on Twitter and instagram, I have been reached out to by some minor companies. One time I was paid $1,000 to post a selfie with a free t-shirt they sent me. All I had to do otherwise was tag their account.

Lately I've been juggling schoolwork and social media work. I know if I commit enough time to social media I can somehow make a profit... but I'm skeptical of how long it will last. I stay in school for safety. I need a "Plan B" just incase everything turns to poo.

I purse my lips slightly disappointed when there are no fascinating emails. My heart drops when a notification from J appears on my screen. I click it faster than I should.

J: I'm shy ㅋㅋㅋ
can we have more time?
please?
thank you.

More time? Although he denied giving me what I asked for, I'm still smiling because he wants to talk to me. Should I care what he looks like at this point? I found someone who voluntarily wants to keep contact with me.

Ugh, I groan to myself. I'm still curious...

Although it's only approaching around 9:30PM here in New York, because I woke up early I'm already yawning. I decide to keep texting him as I lay down in my bed.

You: I understand (:
maybe if we know each other better?

J: yes noona ^_^

He's like... awkwardly cute and it makes me feel like if I'm awkward it will be okay in the end.

J: how was dinner?

You: I ate so much lol

I know it's "taboo" or "unwelcoming" to talk about eating like a freaking monster as a girl in South Korea but he's talking to an American and I'm not changing myself for him.

J: ㅋㅋ
I eat a lot too

He's growing on me...

You: food is so good I basically revolve my life around what I'm going to eat next

J: ㅎㅎㅎ
(Laughing)

You: do you understand what I send? You're answering so quickly!!

J: I practice English almost everyday

You: wow
that's great. I'm jealous
Maybe I should practice korean more 😭

I'm very impressed with him or I underestimated his English skills. As each text message is sent I'm slowly beginning to understand why my mom was so keen on us talking.
