Chapter 39

"You know we haven't established our relationship yet, Carl."

Carl stopped laughing. "I am sorry, Aya. I just love teasing you so much."

Aya rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I have noticed."

Carl moved to his right to make space for Aya to sit next to him.

"So tell me, do you want Hoseok to be your boyfriend?"

"I... I... Yes, I would very much like to be in a relationship with him." Aya wasn't looking at Carl, she knew he won't tell her about him fanboying yet if she wasn't honest herself.

"Now that statement I believe. I am not going to show you who he is on stage or show you his idol side."

Aya turned her gaze back to him. "You are not?"

Carl shook his head. "You have already said that you got to know him as a person, Aya. He should show you himself what he is as an idol."

Aya chewed on her lip. "I understand but answer me one question and I won't ever mention it again."

"Ask and then I'll decide if I want to answer you or not."

"Is he any different from being on stage then not being on stage?"

Carl turned Aya's head show that she looked him in the eye. "No, he is still the same person, he goes all out for his fans but he is not two different people."

Aya's lips tugged into a smile. "That is all I wanted to hear, Carl."

"Good." He stood up from the couch. "I should get going it is already 1 am, we have our shift at the animal sanctuary."

Aya stood with him. "Yes, I can't wait to take pictures of Chubby and the others and send it to Hoseok. He loved them.

"Yes, he loves dogs very much.'

" Ugh stop giving me more information on Hoseok! Or I will start bombarding you with more questions."

Carl couldn't hold his laughter anymore.

"There you are Aya! Yes you are right you have to discover things about him yourself it is only fair."

Aya stuck out her tongue at him. "Does Gavin know of your fanboying on Hoseok?"

"Of course he does, you think I hide anything from him?"

They were at her apartment door.

"That is why I said I envy your relationship."

Carl opened the door. "I think after this little talk, I will be envying yours. Good night Aya."

Aya didn't know how to respond back to Carl. "Good night."

She closed the door, she felt a lot better after the talk with Carl. She walked to her bedroom picking up her phone.

New messages.

"Aya, it is 3 pm here now. I just got your message, I guess I fell asleep. With this time difference, it will be hard to talk decently about the thing between us. Don't get me wrong I love when I check my phone that there is a message from you."

"I am rambling, forgive me it is just I want to talk to you so badly."

"I guess you are sleeping, it should be around 1 am there. Good night."

"Aya, when you read this please, know I am thinking about you."

"I forgot how was Carls visit?"

The last message was sent 2 minutes ago, should she? She opened her contact list, her finger was hovering on his number. Her heart was making the decision when she pressed the call button.
