Linh's POV....
I attempt to hold my jaws after wanting to believe that I misheard what Mr Tuan just said. I literally didn't know he would randomly ask people at the gym for their numbers. But hey, come to think of it, he is a social butterfly, so I guess it's not suppose to be too surprising.
"Oh, ok," I answer. I thought he was probably just wanting to get more friends at his workplace.
"Cool, he says as he hands his phone to me with the screen displaying the dialing pad. I quickly dial my number on his phone.
"Thanks," Mr Tuan says as he pulls his phone back to him.
"You're welcome," I answer casually.
A few hours later....
8:30 PM...
I walk out of the bathroom with a towel still wrapped around my head. It was good to get a quick warm shower after a long day. With myself already wearing my favorite blue pajama t-shirt and shorts, I decided to take a seat on my dressing table as I'm about to apply my skincare routine. Having sensitive skin has made me think twice about trying out different products, yet I'm glad to say that after years I finally found some skincares that actually suits my skin. As I start to apply my skin with some calming toner, my phone suddenly rings a notification, yet I wasn't gonna let that distract me for a moment.
A few minutes passed and I eventually finished applying my skincares. Yet, I still have to dry my hair first before checking out my phone.
Meanwhile....
At Nar's apartment....
Nar's POV...
I lean on my bed as I continue to re-read the message I sent to Linh a few minutes ago. While drinking my bottle of protein shake, I swear that the mysterious girl who texted me again this morning is literally connected to her, or she could even be her. It has been a bit disturbing in my mind which tinkles my curiousity badly. By that, I decided to text her to ask about it, before taking a shower. Man, a warm shower actually sounds nice after arriving back here.
I recalled that the mysterious girl sounded pretty upset when I told her that I did have, though I wouldn't say that she has my heart fully. Though I didn't plan to expose my relationship status, I didn't thought hiding about it would do any good either, especially when she asked the question straight-forward.
I finished my protein shake, yet she still hasn't reply to my text. I assumed she's maybe busy doing something else. Well, maybe she's in the shower or went out with a guy or something? I don't really know, but it's the weekdays though. I assumed people usually go out on dates during the weekends. But wait, why does that even matter, especially to me? It's not that like her or anything. Besides, we're just friends, and I have a girlfriend. I don't even think she's kinda hot or whatever. I figured that I really need to get rid of thesw thoughts right now, so I get up from my bed and head over to take a shower.
A few minutes later...
At Linh's apartment...
Linh's POV...
After drying my hair, I grab my phone from the desk to see the message I received. I see Nar's name being displayed right on my screen, signaling that I got a new message from him. I open the message and slowly start to read it, which to my surprise, it's about Minh's question regarding whether he has a girlfriend or not. Of course, she still goes with the identity of "Mystery Girl", still not wanting him to know who she really is.
I begin to hold my laughter as I read that Nar still assumed that the mystery girl is me. He even told me that despite him appreciating my feelings, he told me that I'm wasting my time if I was really hoping to be with him when he already has someone else. 
"Wow, dude really thought it was me," I say to myself as I almost let out a laughter. I begin to text him a reply, still saying that it wasn't me though I assumed that there would be a chance that it could be my sister. Well, my sister doesn't want me to reveal to much info, yet denying about it completely would only make me seem like a liar. In this situation, I'm pretty sure he already knows that it's either me or Minh.
Yet, tonight I couldn't help but feel a bit emotional while writing down a message for him. As if there is something different about tonight that made my heart felt unusual. I don't know if it's because I'm still sad about what happened between Xiaoyang and I, or maybe...I'm just emotional all of a sudden? But surely there must be an explanation. Getting emotional all of a sudden just sounds too....odd. I still want to believe that maybe I'm just still sad about Xiaoyang's statement, yet I'm pretty sure that it's not really the full reason.
Meanwhile....
Nar's POV...
I walk over to my small desk and grab my phone, with my other hand still drying my wet hair with a towel. I see that Linh has already replied to my message. To my surprise, she said that there is a possibility that it's her sister. Haha, I knew it. Yet, other than that, there's something else that caught my attention. As my eyes focus on the sentence that caught my attention the most, I couldn't help but feel a small pinch of odd joy somehow dancing inside of me. It's like the type of feeling I get after a good workout, especially during leg days.
"Sorry...I think I just thought of you." - Linh.
Man, I literally just told her that I have a girlfriend and here she is confessing to me that she just thought of me. Wow, don't know if I should say she's innocent or just feisty. Haha, that's kind of interesting to know.
Meanwhile...
My eyes kept staring at my phone screen. I push my glasses up with my head still filled with wonders with the message I just sent to Nar. There wasn't really much interesting things I wrote, yet my last sentence regarding my statement that I just thought of him made myself surprised. Linh, are you ok? I mean, I literally just said something that I really wasn't suppose to say to a man who just told me he has a girlfriend. Girl, are you stupid or did the heartbreak from Xiaoyang just gave you some sort of brain fog or something?
"Wow, thank you. I didn't expect to hear that from you." - Nar.
