//c_B+5 000010:#RECEIVE; 000020:Hi, darling... 000030:#CALLBACK; 000040:Hi, honey. Thanks for calling! 000050:#START; 000060: 001; Are you done with your snack?? 000070:Not yet… I’m trying to keep it quiet, so it’s taking long. 000080: 002; Honey, I can’t hear you. 000090:I can’t speak loud. Everyone’s still asleep. 000100: 000; 000110:I’m not sure if I’m eating a bag of chips or candies. 000120:I want my chips to be crispy... 000130: 001; But is it okay to call me? 000140:Calling you...is definitely worth the risk... 000150:And I can control the vol… A..achoo! Aww... 000160: 001; They might as well wake them up by sneezing than chewing. 000170:… 000180:It’s alright. This guy next to me is still asleep. 000190:Agh...my nose… It itches... 000200: 002; Whoa… This is the most thrilling phone conversation ever. 000210:You may be thrilled, but I'm getting nervous here. I'm this close to getting completely frozen. 000220:Because I gotta read asleep ones' faces. 000230: 000; 000240: 002; Who cares? Just dig in. It wouldn’t cause thunder of noise. 000250:No, this one makes huge noises when I chew them. I should’ve brought the other ones... 000260: 001; They taste better when you make them crack and snap... 000270:I see we speak the same language. This is exactly the kind of chips to munch and nibble and enjoy... 000280:My apologies, chips… I cannot enjoy you thoroughly... 000290: 002; You should have eaten before you left. 000300:I was going crazy packing my stuff. But thanks for your concern, hon. 000310:But I’m going to eat a lot during lunch. I hope they have meats... 000320: 000; 000330: 003; My bae!+#004_10 000340:Wow! Why...you scared me… I almost screamed. 000350: 001; Is anyone awake? 000360:This guy sitting next to me glared at me for a moment and went back to sleep... 000370:Phew… I want to pull out my earphones, but I’m scared I’ll make more noises if I unzip my bag. So that’s no option, either. 000380: 002; I thought that maybe you might be asleep, too - 000390:Of course I’m not… I’m on the edge of my seat trying not to make any noise. 000400:Sometimes you’re so full of mischief. Do you know that, sugar? 000410: 000; 000420: 000; 000430:Ugh, I’m hungry… I had to dissolve the chips into my stomach, so I couldn’t eat a lot. 000440:And it feels like nothing’s hitting my stomach. 000450: 001; Try chewing lightly. 000460:Does that make any difference…? Give me a moment. 000470: 002; Try chewing a sample. I’ll tell you whether it’s too loud. 000480:Should we do that? One second. Let me grab a piece. 000490: 000; 000500:Crack… Crunch, crunch... 000510:Well? Is it loud? 000520: 001; I think you can just chew them. 000530:Can I? Maybe I should. It’s been such an agonizing snack time so far... 000540: 002; Whoa, it’s too loud... 000550:Oh...then I should keep making them dissolve. 000560:Phew...what a way to enjoy a bag of chips. 000570: 000; 000580:Huh? Uh, sorry. 000590:Hello? 000600:The guy next to me is glaring complaints at me. 000610:I should hang up… Let’s talk later. //c_D 000620:#RECEIVE; 000630:Oh, sweetheart. 000640:I thought text won’t be good enough to relay the entire story to you. 000650:#CALLBACK; 000660:Hello? I’m assuming you’ve got time for short phone call right now. 000670:I’ll tell you what happened with Joseph. 000680:#START; 000690: 001; I wanna know. Let’s hear it! 000700: 002; What was it about Joseph’s personality again? 000710: 000; 000720:He’s a bit of a perfectionist, remember? So he’s really keen on maintaining such an image. 000730:But the thing is, the cameramen recorded him crying and puking some rice on my back while crying. 000740: 001; Ahaha!! 000750:Uhm...it’s funny to me, too… But I’m afraid I can’t join you for laughter... 000760:Joseph completely freaked out when he learned what happened later on. 000770: 002; Time to...say good-bye…+#049c_5 000780:Honey… I think it’s too early to add background music like that... 000790:Joseph isn’t the type of guy who’d say goodbye that easily. You know that. 000800: 000; 000810:The thing is, the cameras captured more than Joseph crying. They also captured my back plastered with rice from Joseph’s mouth. 000820:And Joseph told me he’s sorry. He also said he’ll handle it. 000830: 001; Handle how? 000840:He talked to every single person in the staff to please not broadcast the scenes when he peppered rice onto my back while crying. Now isn’t that something? Like, there are dozens of staff members here. 000850: 002; Eww... then shouldn’t they add some blurring on your back? 000860:Maybe. But maybe not necessarily. 000870:Because Joseph ran after every single staff member to ask them to please not let those scenes be on TV. 000880: 000; 000890: 001; That’s incredible... 000900:I know, right? I know that he’s a perfectionist, but I had no idea he’s an extreme perfectionist. 000910:If I were him, I would’ve asked the staff to just make sure what happened stays true to the rules set by broadcasting system. 000920: 002; Do you think they’ll really leave that part undisclosed? 000930:Well...it looks like they did promise him they’ll cut it. 000940:But no one knows, until the broadcasting... 000950: 000; 000960:He was all tensed and scurrying here and there. I was actually sorry for him. 000970: 001; Are you okay about it? 000980:I’m fine. It’s no big deal to cry out emotions while talking… Even a perfectionist is not safe from a mistake or two, you know? 000990:Though Joseph wouldn’t agree with me on this, I think such natural side is what makes him more attractive. And more innocent. 001000: 001; You’re so good at pointing out other people’s charms. 001010:That’s what you’re doing to me right now. Hehe. Thanks, hon. 001020:Anyways, there’s a shine and shadow to every person. I think what’s important is to notice what kind of shine each person has and get along. 001030: 002; You’re right. Nobody’s perfect. 001040:That’s what I’m saying. I think being too perfect is boring. 001050:Maybe making a slip or two would actually help Joseph. 001060:He didn’t really feel...humane, you know? I’d say this is his chance to fix that. 001070: 000; 001080: 002; Of course he’d be keen. 001090:Oh, yes. So far he was a walking masterpiece. Talented, perfect, nothing-can-bother-me contestant. 001100:But such an image wouldn’t be safe after people see how he cries almost desperately. So right now he has no idea what to do about it. 001110: 001; He’ll figure something out. He’s clever. 001120:My thought exactly. He’ll do well. He’ll figure out what to do on his own. 001130: 002; He deserves it… He shouldn’t have harassed you so much. 001140:I get the feeling you’re still mad about him… I think you can start forgiving him now. 001150:He’s not a bad guy. It’s just that he’s not used to expressing himself. He made rice seasoning on my back because he got all emotional while apologizing to me. 001160:So could you please understand him hon, my generous sugar bun - ? 001170: 000; 001180: 000; 001190:Oh, just a minute, hon. 001200:Yeah. What’s up? 001210:Oh...okay. 001220:Hello? 001230: 001; What is it? 001240:Joseph wants a minute with me. 001250: 002; Is it Joseph? 001260:Yep. How did you know? 001270: 000; 001280:Let me go talk to him real quick. 001290:I’ll call you later, sweetheart.
