“you’re just asking me to smack you.”

“do it-- i dare you.”

“that’s my guy.”

“i do it for me, not for you.”

“Maybe it’s just Spotlight’s last hurrah, and then we’re all done,” she pointed out half-seriously.“They can’t even be bothered to organize it themselves.”

“what? you planning on taking over then?”

“It’s possible, I guess, but I don’t think it will be. I know I’m not ready to give up performing. Can’t speak for anyone else, but I wouldn’t leave.”

“To be perfectly honest it isn’t that big of a deal to me that they didn’t show, that just means I can hang it over their heads the next time I want them to do something with me.” He said, a devious smile creeping it’s way onto his lips. “I can’t say I’m not surprised they let me out but at the same time I’m probably one of the ones least likely to get myself in trouble so.”

Aiden laughed a bit, not surprised at all by Dayoon’s answer. “Ah, I should have known by now that the famous Dayoon would never quit.” He said as he watched Aiden take the shot.

“why quit? opens you up for a lot of feelsy bullshit, and who the fuck wants to deal with that?”

“mm, fine. let’s go, then,” she replied, suppressing a smile. “i hardly pity you. how is it so hard for you to understand that i actually want to see you happy?”

“because you’re a selfish sociopath who only cares about sex?”
