february 9th, and valentines is surely around the corner. haechan is standing in his kitchen bored—although this boredness didn't last long.

"dial-a-valentine." donyhyuck muffled, his mouth full of chips as he intensely scans the website on his screen. he leaned towards one of the kitchen islands, "choose your preferences." the male read out loud.

donghyuck doesn't want to admit it, but that website that jaemin told him piqued his interest. there are fifty-fifty percent chances that this could go horribly wrong or not.

"same age as me or...." he read what's on the screen again, "how about a year older than me." he talked to himself, clicking the option.

after pressing all the options that fit his ideal type, he finally read the last question at loud once again, "lives nearby me, or not?" he asked himself, "nearby me, yes." he nodded to himself.

eventually, his bag of chips is finally finished in a blink of an eye, as he waits for his screen to load, waiting for the next thing to happen.

his phone popped a notification that made him quickly dust his chips on his hands.

-

"Want a date this valentine but you're a single pringle? Movie dates? Can make you laugh? Well worry no more because "dial-a-valentine" got you!"

i see, you have finally chosen your options, congratulations! we finally saw someone that fits your type!

just dial: 000-127-1999 and you're good to go! enjoy valentine-ing!

-

the last sentence made the tanned male cringe, "well that was fast." he said to himself, guessing that the number they gave is someone who fits his ideal type.

he saved the number on his phone and got back on his bag of chips, "oh i finished it already." he let out a scoff and threw the bag in the trash.

grabbing his phone, he made his way to his bed. his apartment isn't that big but it's spacious enough for him, i mean he's the only one living here.

plopping his body on the bed, yet his eyes are still glued to his phone. "should i try texting the number now?"

he hesitated for a few times, rolling on his bed here and there, his thumb hovering on the phone, contemplating if he should do it. "you know what? fuck it."

shamelessly pressing the number, he then sent a simple "hi" causing him to toss his phone across the room, as he let out a muffled scream on his pillow.

-----

"should i do it?" mark asked himself, looking down on his phone as if it's the most interesting thing, but not on the path his walking to, "but what if—"

he didn't even get to finish what he's going to say, as he let out a hiss, rubbing his sore forehead that just got bumped at the taller's back. "look where you're going." johnny said, looking at him with a teasing smile, "what are you looking at anyway?" peeking to the younger's phone, mark tries to hide it with his hand but it's still useless since johnny already saw it. "so you're actually doing it?"

"j-just for fun..." mark said, shooking his head in disapproval, but deep inside, he's actually interested.

"i don't believe you," johnny blurted out, and snatched mark's phone from his hand, "give me that."

"no, hyung! wait—"

"so it says here..." the taller squinted his eyes, reading what's flashed on the phone, "choose your preferences."

the website is like a barbie dress up game you could play if you're bored, that's how johnny would describe the website. it's like a buffet, choosing whatever fits your taste, yes that.

"same age as you, older or younger?" they still continued walking while mark tries to get his phone away from the older's grip, "cmon mark! just choose!"

"y-younger than m-me..." mark stuttered, as johnny's little shout there caught other people's attention. clicking the option it then leads johnny to a new page.

and just like that, they continued walking towards home with johnny throwing mark questions that are written on the screen. some options on the said website made johnny's eyes widened, as he wasn't expecting that type of questions, but yep, let's not talk about that.

"oh this is the last one," johnny once again, excitedly nudged the younger's arm, "do you want them to find you people that live close to you or nah."

"like in our school..?"

"i don't know..." the older tilted his head, eyes still glued on the screen, "just choose!" he shouted—not that loud—for the last time.

"live nearby me... i guess?"

clicking the option for the last question, the screen suddenly went black and mark's phone made a sound, signaling that he got a notification.

-

"Want a date this valentine but you're a single pringle? Movie dates? Can make you laugh? Well worry no more because "dial-a-valentine" got you!"

i see, you have finally chosen your options, congratulations! we finally saw someone that fits your type!

-

"woah dude!" johnny eagerly showed mark the phone, "look!" finally taking his phone back, he looked at the screen, which displayed another notification.

-

just dial: 000-055-606 and you're good to go! enjoy valentine-ing!

-

"a number already?" he asked out loud, seeing the number written across his phone screen. and before he knew it, he's already standing outside his house. "oh look my house. goodbye now!"

"but i still want to see—"

walking fastly towards his apartment, he immediately locked the door not giving johnny the time to finish his words. smiling, he can now finally has this dial all by himself, without anyone bothering.

taking his shoes off, he immediately ran towards his bed, his thumb hovering if he should press the number.

but the notification is faster than his reflex, as an unknown number popped on his phone. "hi...?" he read the screen out loud.

you know? this website isn't that bad. mark thought, i mean he just saw one-fourth part of it and it's already this fun, what more if saw his valentine in real life.
