I got up and left, walking hurriedly towards a quieter area with fewer people, turned a corner, and answered the call.

"Are you busy? Why did it take you so long to answer?" Lukas asked.

"I was just washing my face." I said offhandedly.

"I miss you." Lukas said.

"...I miss you too." I replied reluctantly.

"How much do you miss me?"

"...A lot."

He laughed softly on the other end, his voice gentle and affectionate, "I miss you a lot too."

I fell silent, thinking of an excuse to end the call.

Suddenly, he spoke up in confusion, "I think I can hear music and noise from your side, it sounds like the bonfire party I'm at."

"!!"

"It seems like there's a party outside my hotel too, the window is open, and the sound is coming in." I said as I walked to a quieter place.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw a couple passionately kissing.

I stopped awkwardly, turned around and started to walk back.

But then I saw another figure that drove me crazy.

Lukas was walking towards me.

Help!

Why was he here too?!
