The Kpop Otaku's Dream 18 Who Are You? Unedited

My heart is beating furiously. I'm so nervous.

I constantly check if there has been a response yet.

I wait and wait and wait.

I think of various excuses to explain why it's talking so long, Maybe she is in the shower? She could be busy or is she asleep already.

I grow anxious and check the time.

Two minutes have pa.s.sed!

Yes, only two minutes.

But I'm stressing out dude!

At the height of my inner dialogue, a notification awakens me from my delusions.

*Ding*

I check my phone and sure enough it's Irene's response one word response, just a simple

"Call"

I take a deep breath and steady myself.

Hi , Hey, h.e.l.llooo, Joo-hyunssi..

Argh how should I begin.

F*** it, I'll do it live!

I go to contacts and my finger hovers over the call b.u.t.ton. Press it. Press it. Press it.

My finger moves slowly downwards and ........... ........................... ..... *click*

*Tring* Tring* Tring* *Tring*

The dial tone cuts off and a feminine voice answers

"h.e.l.lo"

"Hi, am I speaking to Joo-hyunssi?"

"Were you expecting someone else?"

"No, am I just checking"

After a light chuckle, I feel awkward. What should I say ?

Think Dylan. Think!

"Uhmm"

...............

Come on. Say Something. Say Anything!!

".... I really don't know what to say"

She responds in a similar tone

"Me either"

"I even searched online questions to ask you know"

"Really? You did? are you nervous?"

"Of-course, it's my first time ever calling a pretty girl. If i'm not nervous now i'd have to be an Iceman. But then again an icemen would be prefect for the ice princess hahaha"

"As if! you are definitely a playboy. I bet all the girls at your old school were heads over heals for you?"

She says this very sharply. I can even feel the jealousy emanating from the phones' head piece.

Thinking about it, I never read anything about school in my journal.

It appears that in in order to avoid messy situations, I've always had private tutors from SNU come teach me and then spent most of my days at the company.

"I've never gone to school before"

Surprised by my sudden declaration

"Huh! never ?"

"Yeah, after my parents died. My uncle was pretty protective of me, I've only had private tutors and not much free time for other things"

"Oh" With a pitiful tone she asks, "Weren't you lonely?"

"Not really, I had plenty of people who worked for us who would do anything I wanted"

If you are wondering why I know these things even though I suffer from amnesia, then the answer is simple..... it was in the journal

MC: Author! you can't just cover up plot holes like that

Author: Do you have a better solution?

MC: How about saying, my memories of this life came back during the week?

Author: That's smart. SO DEAR readers if knowledge of this life is not from the journal or some other source. Just a.s.sume his memories came back . Done !

Irene seems to process what I've just told her.

"I knew were pretty wealthy. I mean i'd have to be blind but ..... honestly .....who even are you ?"
