Jaemin's POV

It was almost 2a.m. and I wasn't sure if Jeno'd still be up at this time but, I still went ahead to send him a text him while hoping for the best.

I stared down at our previous conversation and scrolled through while having no regrets on how I chose to name his contact as to how I had named him back when we were together.

The 'ding' sound from my phone snapped me out of the recollections of texts we'd used to send back and forth and my attention went back to the phone in my hand.

I would have ignored whoever had texted me so late at night to reply them tomorrow morning but, when I saw the contact name of the messages, I opened it immediately.
