dean  pulled  away  from  their  embraced  to  see  her  face  as  his  expression  morphed  into  confused,  delight,  but  then  again  to  confusion.  “  like  a  baby?  what  you  mean  a  little  one?  ”  he  finally  asked  after  taking  what  was  probably  too  long  of  a  time  staring  at  her.  his  hands  moved  to  rest  against  her  belly  as  he  squinted  at  her.  “  you  got–are  you  pregnant?  are  you–”  his  eyes  grew  wide  as  he  reached  for  her  left  hand.  “  is  my  wife  married?!  ”  dean’s  face  fell  slightly.  “  were  you  married  —  and  i  wasn’t  there?  holy  fucking  shit,  i’m  a  fucking  asshole!  ”

“  honestly,  my  body  may  have  just  turned  into  a  whole  block  of  swiss  cheese overnight  but,  you  know,  i’ve  always  went  really  well  with  some  mayo  so  maybe  nothing’s actually  changed.  ”  GOD,  it  was  like  his  heart  was  singing,  he  felt  so  happy  and  warm  to  be  with  his  friend again.  “  —  does  that  mean  you’re coming  though?  ”  dean  asked, the  excitement  and  elation  written all  over  his  face.  he  really  was  like  a  puppy  dog,  wearing  every single  emotion  that  he  felt  evident  on  his  face.  the  hold  he  had  on  her  never  lessened as  the  smile  only  grew  wider.  “  but  seriously like  —  don’t  even  worry  about.  sorry  to  say,  and  rest  in  peace  to  our  younger,  less  busier,  selves but  fam,  we  o  l  d.  i  had  to  file  my  own  fucking taxes  last  week  –  TAXES! i  even  complained about  the  small  font  on  the  forms  too.  i  am  literally  my  dad.  ”

“  ‘s  all  good,  that  only  means  we  gotta  stop  being  so  bad  at  getting  together because  i  don’t  know  how  much  my  heart  can  take  these  reunions  without just  going  wild one  day  because it’s  been  that long  and  i’ve  missed  you  that  much.  ”  and  even  if  she  thought he  was  being  hyperbolic,  the  male  was  completely  genuine in  his  words. krystle  congratulations  only  made  him  beam  more  and  if  she  looked close  enough,  dean  was  pretty sure  she  could  see  him  actually  glowing.  “  actually  —  i  know  you’re  like  super  busy,  out  there  rulin’  the  world  and  it’ll  probably be  super  boring and  shit  but,  ah,  would  you  want  to  like  …  come  to  my  ceremony?  it  would  mean  a  lot  to  have  you  there  and  you’re pretty  much  one  of  the  only  reasons i  managed  to  stay  sanethroughout  this  whole  thing.  ”  the  male  rambled,  squeezing to  hug  her  back  before giving  an  firm  nod.  “  first  rounds on  me!  ”

“  yeah,  i  mean  –  you  ever  been  my beer  pong  partner before?  ‘cause  one  time,  i  swear i  was  on  a  fucking sixteen  winning  streak in  one  right. ”  definitely  more  proud  of  this  accomplishment  more  than  he  should  have  been,  but  honestly,  proud  all  the  same  as  the  male  let  out  a  laugh  and  squeezed the  other  tight. pulling  away  to  see  her  face  clearly, the  male  nodded his  head  along  ask  she  spoke  and  gave  a  slight  shrug. “  same,  same,  pretty  much,  you  know.  we  been  out  here  rocking  the  damn  world, makin’  dreams  happen and  shit.  i  actually  like  —  am  going  to  graduate  soon.  ya  boy  about  to  have  a  masters,  biiiiiiiiitch!  ” 

“  i’ll  tell  you  what  went  through your  mind  and  listen  up  okay?  ‘cause this  is  damn  near  word for  word.  ”  he  cleared his  throat.  “  i’mma  marry  dean  kwon,  beer  pong  king  and  green  olive  enthusiast  because i  love  him  so  much  and  he’s  also  got  the  best  damn  hair  on  the  block  and  you  know  what?  i  gotta  say  i’m  super flattered  but  you’re coming  on  a  little  strong there.  ”  dean  teased,  reaching to  throw  his  arms  around the  others  frame  and  hold  her  in  tightly  with  her  intentions to  let  her  go.  “  how’ve  you  been  though? still  shootin’  the  shit  and  doing  the  damn  thing? ”

“  remember when  you  promised to  love  me  through  sickness and  health  and  till  death  do  us  part  and  all  that  shit?  so,  suck  it  ‘cause  you  gotta  deal  with  me  disgustin’  and  all.  but  also  like  —  holy  fucking  shit,  i  love  you  so  much  and  i’ve  missed you  more  than  damn  near  everything  so  be  ready  for  all  of  me  ‘cause  it’s  coming.  ”smooooooooch.

he laughs and silly yet genuine smile is gracing his features now that he’s calmed down. if he has to put into words his first impression of krystle, matthew will compare it to a cool cola straight from the freezer on a very, very hot summer day — refreshing. “ honestly, i haven’t been home for the longest time and now that you mention it … a visit there is a must. gotta be real cool to have a photoshoot at the new placer or just visit for the funs. ” he’s almost melancholic at the thought of l.a and the friends that might no longer remember him. “ a woman must really love to go to the museum of ice cream, huh? ” he allows himself to tease a bit, having only heard of it before, imagining it being a colorful place. “ nothing can be better than the good ol’ beaches though. ”

all the passion she had in her body when she was dancing really amazed chorong to this level where she stopped for a moment only looking at her. hearing her words chorong came back to herself immediately. “ sorry…. i was just looking at your dancing and it shooked me like always. ” she loved to watch people do things they love. a little smile showed on her face when she tried to copy dance steps again but it was harder than she thought. “ this steps are really difficult…can you show me again? ”

Hearing the others proposal, she had no intention of denying it but when she was told she was going anyway, Hana couldn’t help but burst into a fit of giggles before nodding her head. Anytime to spend with her friend meant the world to her so she would be down to go either way. Thinking about it for a while however, she tapped her chin. “I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Lotte world is probably the best.” 

“yeah, tell me something i don’t know.” yisoo snorts at the woman’s attempt to throw a jab at him, like said before, angry puppy. “hey, just making sure we’re clear with, i don’t want any of those i though you were joking, crap later.” he felt the need to clarify further, especially because the mood between them was playful at the moment and he had already had experiences in which his playfulness stopped others from taking him seriously when the time called for. “oh, so now you’re putting conditions to our arraignment?” another snort, but yisoo wasn’t bothered by her “demands”, they were reasonable after all, and despite what most people that know him might think, he’s not entirely heartless. “alright then, but if you’re putting conditions i’m only entitled to put mine too so, you have to tell me exactly what kind of errands we’re doing at leas.” he insisted on knowing what were they going to do, or at least where they were headed to, he really didn’t like not being in control of the situation. “i have to mentally prepare myself in case i’ve gotta do something i don’t want to.”

an eyebrow rose, glancing over at him for reminding her. ❛ why do you keep having to make sure? afraid i’ll run out on you if that happens? in that case, lemme just run after we’re done hanging, haha. ❜ of course, she’s joking. she’s not one to go back on her word though she has her reasons ─ the favor was something stupid, she didn’t like the person, or it was a gut feeling; those are the only reasons she would ever back down on a favor. crossing her arms, she bumps him playfully and chuckles. ❛ you’ll understand the moment if you become a parent, that whole time you’ll need to be around for them and watch them grow. their time is precious. ❜ she pauses for a moment, lips pursed as she glances around as she leads him inside the mall. ❛ ah, well.. i need to buy more clothes since i wanna make my little girl look adorable and fashionable plus i need to find a guy so he can pay me back. how’s your eye for fashion? ❜ she asks, looking up at him and grinning. ❛ yeah, sure. of course, just let me know if you wanna go look around for yourself. ❜

usually, yisoo would make a scene after that little hit that was really barely felt, but right now he can’t help but burst out laughing, despite how menacing the female can look with all the ink over her skin, to yisoo she seems like an angry little puppy. “oh, you hate me? however will i be able to go on living?” a hand is pressed over his chest as he takes his turn to be dramatic, mood that lasts about a second because laughter takes over him again; despite that, he’s more than willingly following her along once she starts to lead the way. “real talk though, don’t tell me i didn’t warn you when is time to call on that favor.” yisoo chirps his little disclaimer, just in case. “where are we going by the way, i wasn’t really paying attention to you earlier. i kinda zoned out.” he ever so shamelessly admitted. 

she rolls her eyes at his dramatic ass, a scowl on her face. she runs her hand through her hair while leading him to their destination. before she could open her mouth, she’s rethinking what to say. of course she was gonna say she hated him again, but then what would that do? ❛ shut up, you suck. ❜ she grumbles under her breath, puffing her cheeks. a glance over towards the male, she nods and hums in approval. it was a promise, maybe more like a deal. ❛ of course! what do you take me for? a person to go back on their words? rude, i’m hurt. ❜ now it’s her turn to act just as dramatic, her hand over her chest. ❛ though i must say, make sure it’s a time where i’m not with my daughter, that’s all. you’re on your own if that happens. ❜ that has to be fair, right? ❛ ah, i just needed someone to accompany me while i go and do some... errands. ❜ 

“i mean, you are a loser, that part i ain’t gonna even try to deny.” yisoo mocked, and laughed afterwards, the woman’s dramatic behavior was amusing on itself but those last few words had being the cherry on top. “fine, i’ll go with you.” he finally gave in, but only because he had nothing else to do and it was always more entertaining to hang out with others than wander off by himself looking for troubles. “just because i know you just love to have me around,” he had the audacity to add that comment with a cocky tone, not at all unusual of him. “and because that means you’ll owe me a favor and is always good to have one of those at my disposal.”

her jaw drops open at his response, unable to believe that he agrees with her,  HOWEVER, she can’t blame him for agreeing because even she believes she’s a loser. she’s lost all of her friends and now she only has her men and her family, plus the dance studio. she makes a face at him and punches him on the arm. ❛ i fuckin’ hate you, ya know that? ❜ at least she’s going out and about with someone other than her dogs and her baby. ❛ you suck, keep that in mind. and yeah, yeah, yeah. whatever. let's go, doofus. ❜ she waves a hand at him, letting him have his way because she’s glad that someone is keeping her company and that he gave into her little.. begging.
