It has been more than a month since I know Dean, we were getting along really well. Sending message back and forth in kakao talk, sometimes in weekend Dean called or faced time me.

We literally talking everyday, about everything. Information about him increasing significantly as time passing by, he was second child in his family, he has an older brother who already married, has nephew and niece; his older brother has twins. He doesn't really like sweets but he loves jelly and gummy bear, his favorite one was cola flavour from brand named Haribo. He loves game, can't swim properly which was better than me who actually can't swim at all. He can't draw and suck at art subject but he loves mathematics and physics.

No wonder, Civil Engineer.

He likes spicy food, scared of lizard, he will definitely run away and not coming back if he met lizard. At least he's okay with cockroach, so when both of us ever encounter with those scary monster, I'm the only one who will scream. He doesn't like romance or biography movies, he prefers action or thriller one. He also not a morning person, typical person who set his alarm at every five minutes so he will bothered by it then finally wake up. He has weird habit which mostly being late at work, in meeting, dates and any other appointments. It was because his work can literally call him anytime.

We haven't met yet due the distance, he was still in Busan while I'm in Incheon which I just recently told by himself that his cousin was also in Incheon for school. He promised he will manage time for us to meet in person soon, after he finished his project.

Dean : Happy eating, Charlie. I'll sort out the things on site, talk to you later.
Dean : Eat a lot! 💪🏻

I wasn't realized that I actually grinned like an idiot when typed the words okay then hit the sent button, replying Dean's chat.

"What so funny?" Mitchell eyed me suspiciously.

"What?" I looked at him, then placing my phone back on the table and continue to eat my cheese cake.

We were at local café near my apartment, I had nothing to do so I asked Mitchell if he wanted to hangout with me. Then ten minutes later here we are, busy eating cake and doodling.

"Who's the guy?" He asked nonchalantly while his eyes focus on his sketchbook.

"No one." I replied shortly, I was embarrassed being caught smiling for no solid reason.

"I'm not stupid, you've been busy with your phone lately and those stupid smile was plastered on your face. So, spill it, Char.."

Alexander James Mitchell, shortly as AJ Mitchell. American born in Korea, he's my close friend since two years ago, we met at doodle community: it's like group or community for person who loves drawing especially doodling.

Mitchell was the youngest one but he act surprisingly mature for his age, he's twenty years old, very funny, easygoing, an extrovert and caring person. All of us in doodle community love him, we are all fifteen persons and close to each other, but Mitchell was the closest for me, probably because I'm such a childish, so seven years age gap between us never be problems to get along.
