Nice fic!! A really interesting idea on how to build a story^^

I'm just wondering about one thing:
When Jongin gets into the restaurant, he texts the number given to him by Chanyeol, aka Kyungsoo's number, right? And Kyungsoo answers with where he is sitting.
But after the date, Jongin asks for Kyungsoo's number again?

I understand that several things happen multiple times, that's kindof the point of this type of storytelling, but this thing about the phone number - I was under the impression that those happened in the "same universe", because both of those moments are the ones that are successful and lets the story progress.

The scenario that makes Jongin meet Kyungsoo at the restaurant includes already having Kyungsoo's number (we know for certain that the number is correct, since he answers), and the scenario that makes them leave happily from the restaurant is the one where Jongin asks for the phone number.
So, one of them has to be a scenario that didn't happen for the equation to work, right? Because if he already had his phone number he wouldn't ask again.
But if it's the first one that never happened, then Jongin never meets Kyungsoo at the restaurant, and if they never meet then the happy ending doesn't happen, so that one's ruled out. It can't really be the second one either though, because if the second scenario doesn't happen, then there is no happy ending to the date, and then they don't meet again, so the happy ending doesn't happen.
I don't know, did you simply just forget that he already had Kyungsoo's phone number when writing the scene after the restaurant, or is it me who is missing something?

Thank you for the cool story, hope you can explain this to me:p
