Prologue
Eriol grunted as his phone rang again, waking him up from his peaceful sleep. He looked at the luminous digital clock beside his phone. 3:02 A.M. Eriol felt irritated. Who in the bloody world would call you at 3 o' clock in the bloody morning?? Finally, when the ringing still wouldn't stop, Eriol managed to turn on the bedside lamp, squinting because of the sudden light, and answered the phone.
"'Low?" Eriol answered gruffly.
"Eriol? About time you answered! D'you know how long I've been calling you??" an irritated sounding man spoke on the other end.
"Syaoran?? What in the bloody hell are you doing, calling me at this hour? I was sleeping, naturally I wouldn't answer the phone immediately, you big idiot."
"I've got something important to tell you and I needed to tell you now. Besides, how many times did you wake me up before with your stupid phone calls in early morning?" The guy named Syaoran shot back.
"Fine. So what's this important thing you got to tell me? And it better be really important if I'm losing sleep over it," Eriol sighed as he resigned himself to the fact that Syaoran was right.
"Get in your car and come here now. I don't want to say it over the phone."
"What? No way, just tell it over the phone. I am NOT going out to drive to your place at this time. Take it or leave it," Eriol answered with finality, then yawned. "Why should I go there if you can just say now whatever it is you're going to say?"
"I want to make sure you're awake. It'll be useless telling you this if you aren't even going to remember it after going back to sleep."
Eriol ran his hand on his hair before he answered, "Syaoran, believe me, I'm awake. Maybe a little sleepy but I am awake." Eriol yawned.
"Okay then. I have a suspicion that..." Syaoran trailed off into silence and remained silent for a minute until Eriol decided he had enough of it.
"That what?" he asked curiously.
"Swear you won't laugh or else I'll beat you up tomorrow," Syaoran growled on the phone.
"Sworn. So just say it already!" Eriol let out an exasperated sigh.
"Eriol, I think my girlfriend is cheating on me." Syaoran finally said quietly.
"Mmmhmm. Okay, so – WAIT UP. WHAT?!"
Eriol's eyes widened and he gave a jolt, hitting his head in the headboard in the process, as he realized what his best friend just confided in him. No way was he sleepy now, that confession just sent every sleepy thought in his mind right out the window. Maybe his mind flew out the window too.
"Hello? Hello?? Eriol! Are you still there??"
