Pet | 2. Joshua

I almost dropped my phone when I saw the caller.

It was unexpected.

I nearly jumped off the car because of the excitement and happiness.

I hurriedly fixed my hair and tried to look calm as much as possible.

I accepted his video call.

"I was worried when you never called me again. Did you get sick or what?" I was supposed to greet him loudly when he asked worriedly.

His face melted all my negative feelings for him.

And the love grew.

"No. I'm busy on my newest hobby." I answered. His face brightened when he assured that I was okay.

"What hobby?" He asked interestingly. Well, I never contacted him after the last chat we had.

Maybe it was true that you only noticed the impact of one when you didn't have it.

And maybe, he was starting to notice that I'm important on him too.

"The piano!" I claimed proudly.

I won't lose to that Hyejeong girl.

"Really? That's nice. You mom must be really happy." He said happily.

I secretly took a screenshot so I could save a picture of his smile.

I missed him.

"She sure does. She immediately contacted the best piano instructor in town."

"That's expensive. It's up to you to nurture your talent. The internet offers a lot of techniques."

"She just want me the best." I rolled my eyes.

"I'll ask Hyejeong to teach you when you get here. She learned from sitting once on a piano class." Joshua said proudly.

I was in awe too. Who could do that in one go?

I will never be enough for him.

There was always someone better than me.

And she didn't have to try hard like me...

That's why Joshua was too fond of her...

She's perfect for him...

"I'm taking Korean lessons." I blurted.

"What for? It's too early for it.  You still have six years before college."

"I'm planning to move there soon." I surprised.

"What?" Joshua looked terrified than surprised.

"I'm going to South Korea soon. I will be transferring to your university. We will be together again!" I cheered.

"What? No!" He rejected firmly.

"Huh? Why? Don't you want to be with me?" I mumbled sadly.

"I want but not this soon----"

"Jisoo oppa."

I heard a girl called that made Joshua put down his phone. I still heard them because he wore an earphone.

"Who's Jisoo?" I asked him even though I didn't see him.

"My Korean name. I'm going."

Then he ended the call without saying goodbye.

Wait.

Wasn't it the music room?

So, the girl must be...

Hyejeong.
