y/n: "Hello?"

hueningkai: "I thought you were asleep."

y/n: "...why are you calling me?"

hueningkai: "Because I'm not allowed to go into your room and it's already past eleven."

y/n: "Oh..."

hueningkai: "I don't believe you. Did something happen with Taehyun?"

(silence)

hueningkai: "I thought you would be happy to hang out with him..."

(silence)

hueningkai: "Okay, do me a favor."

y/n: "What?"

hueningkai: "Talk to me like we're inside a carwash."

y/n: "Hueningkai..."

hueningkai: "Just imagine we're in a carwash. Windows soaked in soap and there's no one else but us. But don't shout or your uncle will think you're being kidnapped."

y/n: (laughs)

hueningkai: "Talk to me. Are you okay?"

y/n: "No."

hueningkai: "Why?"

y/n: "I was happy. I really was. I had so much fun and Taehyun was so nice the entire night."

hueningkai: "But..."

y/n: "But he doesn't..."

hueningkai: "...want to hang out again?"

y/n: "No, he does want to hang out again."

hueningkai: "That's a good thing then, right?"

y/n: "That's not it... Promise you won't tell anyone."

hueningkai: "I won't."

y/n: "No one at all."

hueningkai: "I promise."

y/n: "Taehyun doesn't like me."

hueningkai: "You told him?"

y/n: "No, but he told me he likes someone else and..."

hueningkai: "Who does he like?"

(silence)

hueningkai: "Hey. We're still surrounded by rainbow soap circles right now. You can tell me."

y/n: (whispers) "It's [cousin]. He likes [cousin]."

hueningkai: "Oh... jesus. He told you that?"

y/n: "Yeah. Guess she won't have to lie for me to my aunt and uncle anymore."

hueningkai: "You know she doesn't like him. Plus, she'd never betray you like that."

y/n: "It doesn't matter, he likes her."

hueningkai: "But you can change his mind."

y/n: "No, that's embarrassing..."

hueningkai: "What's more embarrassing to you: quitting before you've even started or giving it all you've got to see if it turns out the way you want it to?"

y/n: "I don't know... if he doesn't like me, maybe I should've known he wouldn't. Maybe it was stupid to think he ever would."

hueningkai: "Dont say that. He has every reason to like you."

y/n: "Yeah, right."

hueningkai: "He does. You're smart and nice... sometimes."

y/n: "Gee, thanks."

hueningkai: "You're very considerate. You're patient. Plus you're... you know, you're not that ugly or anything."

y/n: "I'm not that ugly?"

hueningkai: "I mean, you're... you know, you look nice."

y/n: "I look nice... that's what people say when they receive presents they're disappointed in."

hueningkai: "You're pretty, okay?"

y/n: "...thanks."

hueningkai: "Taehyun is an idiot if he doesn't like you."

y/n: "No he's not. He's too transparent to be an idiot."

hueningkai: "You put him too high up on a pedestal."

y/n: "I don't mean to. I just... really like him, Hueningkai."

hueningkai: (sighs) "I know."

y/n: "What would you do?"

hueningkai: "If I were you?"

y/n: "Yeah. If you really liked someone but they liked someone else? What would you do?"

hueningkai: "I'm not sure... it's a heavy question."

y/n: "Have you ever really liked someone before?"

hueningkai: Yeah, you.

hueningkai: "Yeah."

y/n: "Did you do anything about it?"

hueningkai: I wish I could do something about it.

y/n: "Hueningkai."

hueningkai: "I would stay close so that if a chance opened up and I had a shot of being with them... I'd still be there. I'd be ready."

y/n: "Then I should keep hanging out with Taehyun? Hope his feelings change?"

hueningkai: "Yes."

y/n: "Do you... do you think there's a chance he could like me back?"

hueningkai: "Yeah. I do."

y/n: "What phase of the carwash are we in now?"

hueningkai: "The part where we're going through the fans that dry the car."

y/n: "But then you accidentally open your window."

hueningkai: "And the fan blows through my hair so much that I look like a hurricane hit us."

y/n: "You spend the rest of the car ride home trying to untangle your hair."

hueningkai: (laughs)

y/n: "Hueningkai?"

hueningkai: "Hm?"

y/n: "I'm glad the agency made an accident. It feels good to talk to someone like this."

hueningkai: "Virtual carwash therapy."

y/n: (laughs) "Thanks. Seriously. You're a good friend."

hueningkai: "...thanks. So are you."

y/n: "We should actually go to bed now. Your voice is making me sleepy."

hueningkai: "Is that a compliment or an insult?"

y/n: "A little bit of both. Good night."

hueningkai: "Good night."
