Nostalgia

[ At least he’s able to be relieved by the fact that he isn’t keeping someone from any responsibilities of theirs. Jongin quickly shakes his head a few times at those words, unable to accept them just yet ] Oh, no, I couldn’t let you, I… [ See, the problem with that suggestion is that in making the other pay for something for him he’d feel bad, somewhat more guilty that he already did, but… If it really will make him feel better, then how can he refuse? In the end, he mirrors that smile and nods after his brief pause to think ] Alright, let’s do that. Thank you. [ There’s almost a little disappointment that he feels when his wrist is let go of, the warmth of a touch disappearing, but he still follows along at his current companion’s side ] In exchange though, can I… maybe get a coffee or something with you sometime, then?

Etching on a soft smile of relief upon the other's acceptance of his offer, Baekhyun soon made his way across the street with the male before him. "Coffee sounds great, actually—" Not having been able to consume his daily caffeine intake, the smaller one replied rather quickly before blinking in realization and shaking his head. "Not that it's necessary, really... but if you insist." His grin transitioning into that of a playful one, he chuckles lowly and takes his last few steps into the clothing store; opening the door for the other. 

"Chanyeol won’t ignore you, of course not! Let’s gooooo." Rather exited he rested his hands on his tummy and began to walk in the direction of the needed place. "We could be there in four minutes, or maybe less because Chanyeol has long legs." He laugh, a bright smile covering his face. 

"Is that so?" The smaller one manages to stifle a low chuckle upon the other's rather child-like actions, taking his steps next to the boy as he slips his hands into the pockets of his jacket. "Your name is Chanyeol, you say. How old are you?" Tipping his head to the side, Baekhyun wondered how old the stranger could be while managing to act like a far younger being.

The boy's head slightly inclined to the side at the girl's answer at first, the weather was clearly not a great one for walking around without an umbrella— or was his kindness mistaken for some kind of other intention? He surely only wanted to provide some help as he was in an able position to, and he soon let another grin smudge across his lips as she soon accepted his offer. The tip of his sneaker dipping into a shallow puddle then out, the faint tumble of water marked his steps as he shifted the umbrella to the girl's side to make sure that she would stay as dry as possible. The serene silence between the two continued for a few minutes— but it wasn't that of an uncomfortable one as the calm sound of raindrops filled his head along the way, a faint hum parting his lips as he etched on a smile. "Didn't take a good use of the weather forecast, huh?" Marking a rather playful comment to break the silence, he glanced to the side with a small chuckle.

Well, it wasn’t really easy like that. I wish it were, actually. But lots of things happened and I just found myself in my childhood dream. I am happy but sometimes I regret things. [/she made a face before humming/] Maybe I shouldn’t be too honest, it kinda makes me feel not like an idol. I do complain a lot, in the end, huh. [/she mumbles the last bit to herself before turning her head to the other/] A caramel frappuccino sounds good to me. [/she smiles at him before pulling her wallet out/]

Idols are still people though, I don't think you have to hide your honest thoughts on your profession of anything in general all the time. Concealing everything and displaying yourself as a perfect celebrity isn't really easy, huh? I'm quite positive that both cons and pros apply to other professions as well. {'he gives her a slight nod with a smile, soon taking a step closer to the register and handing a card to the cashier;} One caramel frappuccino and iced americano. {'quickly receiving back his credit card, he shoots a grin at the girl besides him before waving the card before her;} A step too late, miss. I'll treat you this time, and maybe you can treat me back if we meet again. {'nodding, he soon leads her to an empty table before sitting himself in front of her;} 

It’s nice to go forward gradually, rather than rush into things. [/she nods lightly/] I had to rush into things because well, it’s obvious. This industry is like this. [/she hums lightly/] There are a lot of gentlemen around me, for some reason. Too bad I’m too nice to use them to my advantage. [/she laughs a little/] Oh, I know what you mean. Even in this busy world, people seem to find time to follow us around though, huh. [/she nods a little with a smile/] Thank you. [/she enters, her steps slow as she waits for the other; looking around curiously/] This place seems nice, I don’t think I’ve ever been here.

{'the boy nods along as he listens to the other's words, running a hand down his nape;} If you have a specific goal and if you were sure with your choice— it should be considered as a head start rather than a rushed one, don't you think? I'm quite envious of you, and I'm sure a lot of people are. {'he chuckles faintly before following the girl behind and into the cafe, scanning the area for an empty seat before glancing down at the girl;} I think I'll just get an iced americano. What would you like to drink?
