@somewhatavidreader tumblr ate your ask when i wanted to save the draft so here goes! And also i just realized i forgot to post it before soooo *shrug emoji*
Can takes a deep breath and pinches his nose, exhaling deeply before answering Leyās question. āBecause I am already seeing someone, Ley, thatās why.ā
He can picture Leyās face as clearly as if she was standing in front of him. Sheās going to scream at him any second now, and Can holds the phone away in preparation.
āWhat?! Since when? Why didnāt you tell me? Can!! How could you hide this from me?ā
āLey, shut up! I canāt answer twenty questions at once!ā Can says as he leans against the hallās vending machine. Students are passing by and giving him weird looks, maybe because heās pulling at his hair and shaking his fist at the sky, who knows.
āOkay, okay. Is she pretty?ā
āUhā¦ā Can looks wildly around him, at a loss. āLook, itās private, okay? I donāt wanna talk about it yet,ā he says, as if this is a valid excuse where Ley is concerned.
āSo youāre lying to me and she doesnāt even exist, I knew this was too good to be true,ā Ley says with her sweetest, evilest voice. āYouāve spent so long complaining about not having a girlfriend, if you had one you would have rubbed it in my face already. You donāt have a girlfriend, admit it.ā
āFine,ā Can sighs after it becomes clear that Ley will let him simmer all day is she has to, āI donāt have a girlfriend, I lied, but I donāt want to go on a blind date with another friend of yours!ā
āUh-uh, thatās now how it works big brother. I have an obligation to your happiness, and it will come out of one of the dates, I just know it will,ā Ley is saying, when someone steps right in front of Can.
Can recognizes him as Peteās friend from the IC department, and he wordlessly hands him the phone when he thrusts his hand out with a confident smile. This canāt go any worse anyway.
āHello, Ley?ā Peteās friend says, and how does he know Canās sisterās name?
āThis is Tin. Listen, Ley, I know Can has kept me a secret but it was because I asked him too, I wasnāt ready for⦠Mmh? Yes, thatās right,ā the guy named Tin continues, batting Canās hand away when he tries to get his phone back. Tin presses his finger to his mouth to shush Can as he continues humming and agreeing to whatever Ley is saying.
āAlright, now I trust you wonāt try to set him up again? Thank you so much for your kindness. Oh, and please donāt blame Can for not telling you sooner, I made him promise⦠Yes, he was upset he couldnāt share it with you right away, but heās been ever so patient, heās been very good to me.ā
āWhat the hell are you doing?ā Can whispers furiously, not trying to get his phone anymore because heās too focused on the sheer level of absurdity occurring right before his eyes.
āAlright, will do. Thank you, Ley, and I look forward to meeting you in person,ā Tin says before ending the call and giving the phone back to Can.
āThere you go, now sheāll leave you alone,ā Tin says with a satisfied smile.
āWhat the fuck was that? Who are you? How do you know my sisterās name? What was that? I know I asked that already but itās worth mentioning twice!ā
āThat was me saving your ass from another disastrous date, you can thank me later,ā Tin says, as calm as something that is calm like Can isnāt at all right now.
