JEONGGUK:
it's almost midnight
JEONGGUK:
our time together is almost up too :(
NARA:

NARA:
a soldier who was about to leave his wife for a war
NARA:
you know we're still talking to each other after this.
JEONGGUK:
you're right. but not as a couple anymore
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

NARA:
awie no problem :3 ♡
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

NARA:

⋯ INCOMING CALL FROM JEONGGUK
her hands were sweating a lot, hovering above the green button, shaking. she cleared her throat for one last time before answering the call, trying to relax as much as she could.
NARA:
"h―hello..."
JEONGGUK:
"tell me what you want right now~"
JEONGGUK:
[ giggles ]
his giggling voice made her feel ecstatic. it was as pure as a baby, angelic, beautiful. no adjective could describe the crunching guts feel accurately.
NARA:
"jeongguk!"
JEONGGUK:
"i know i know i'm sorry!"
JEONGGUK:
"anyway, i miss your voice so much."
JEONGGUK:
"you have an angelic voice."
NARA:
"well i appreciate your compliments but your voice is beyond angelic okay."
NARA:
"don't even argue with me."
JEONGGUK:
"many people said that to me before, but you know..."
JEONGGUK:
"it feels different when you're the one who told me that."
JEONGGUK:
"ah, i wish this moment could stay forever."
NARA:
/ me too, jeongguk. me too. /
NARA:
"so what should we talk about?"
JEONGGUK:
"i don't know."
JEONGGUK:
"oh!"
JEONGGUK:
"why don't you try to call me ggukie."
JEONGGUK:
"I WANT TO HEAR IT COMING FROM YOU!"
NARA:
"haih! don't yell."
JEONGGUK:
"I DON'T CARE I WILL YELL UNTIL YOU SAY IT!"
NARA:
"fine."
NARA:
"g―gukie..."
JEONGGUK:
"OH FORRKK SO CUTEEEE!!!"
JEONGGUK:
"RECORD PLS AND SEND IT TO ME."
NARA:
"HEY STOP YELLING."
NARA:
"HELL NO! I AM NOT GOING TO DO THAT."
JEONGGUK:
"AWWW WHAT A PARTY POOPER NARA!"
afterwards, jeongguk kept begging her to send the recorded version. but then the topic changed once the clock struck two am because he was tired for constantly yelling at his phone and the topic changed into something else. jeongguk talked about his family in busan and his works, while nara on the other line was listening to every and each of his words, forgetting the fact that it's already the next day.
it seems the quote 'conversations become deeper after midnight' was relatable for the two.
