I was changing for work when I got a phone call from a familiar person. I picked up my phone.

"Hello?" I mumbled.

"Camilla! How are you doing sweetie?"

"I'm Good, Mrs. Reid."

"Camilla, it's almost been 15 years. And every time we talk I tell you to call me Rebecca." She reminded me. I laughed.

"I'm sorry, Rebecca. How have you been?"

"It's hard. Really, really hard."

"I know. Sometimes I would reach down to my phone to call her but... It's been hard for me too"

"We miss you here, Camilla. When are you coming home?"

"I am at home. This is my new home. If I go back... I'll be miserable."

"I know. But you have your roots here. Your family, friends, high school, and college... you belong here. Just think about it, ok?" I sighed, walking out of the resident lounge, to see Jaehyun prancing over to me.

"Uh, I have to go, Mrs. Rei-  uh, Rebecca. I miss you."

"Miss you too dear, Bye" I hung up the phone, putting it in my pocket.

"Hello there, friend. I am having a great day. I woke up and had a nice breakfast. Are you a cereal kind of person or pancakes?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"I am a water and granola bar kind of person, Dr. Jung. " I mumbled, fixing my white coat. He scoffed.

"Dr. Jung?  When we were hanging out it was Jaehyun." He mumbled. I shrugged.

"Yeah well, we are at work. And we need to be professional." I said. He smiled.

"Yeah, calling me by my first name doesn't make you less professional," He said, opening the door to the stairwell. I smiled, stopping by the bottom of the stairs.

"Look, Jaehyun," I mumbled, pulling him towards me.

"I'm not the type of person who is nice over the phone but avoids you in person. It's just that we are at work. And I don't want people to think that I'm being favored." I explained.

"I'm not favoring you. I'm just being a good friend," He said. I nodded.

"Of course I know that. But not everyone else does." I said. He sighed.

"Fine... while we are at work, no favoring." He mumbled. I smiled, ruffling his hair.

"Thanks," I said, running up the stairs. From the bottom of the stairwell, Jaehyun was speechless, the tips of his ears turning red.

Later on, Jaehyun was on the phone with his friend, Luke Anderson. But you might know him as Arrogant Anderson.

"I'm telling you, Luke. Camilla isn't the type of girl to show affection like that. And usually, I'm a cool guy and I'm usually the one flirting but-"

"But it caught you off guard and you looked like a dork who couldn't stop blushing," Anderson said from the phone. Jaehyun laughed.

"At least she didn't see it happen." He said. He heard a laugh from the other side of the phone.

"Look, I got to go but stop being a baby and just tell her you like her." He said. Jaehyun widened his eyes.

"What? That's crazy. N-no, I don't." He said. Anderson rolled his eyes.
