“promise. je promête. never again,” she giggled.

“Maybe we could look for more foreign movies while we’re on tour. It’ll probably be easier than finding more while we’re in Korea.”

“you know, you’d look really hot with purple hair. you look hot anyway but…purple.”

“Really? I don’t think I could have hair that’s like that. Like, you look good with blonde hair, too, but I don’t even think I do something like that, and blonde is still a more normal color than purple.”

“I'm home!”

“see! i told you this cafe does the best hot chocolate!” caizhen mused as he sat back in his chair, watching jinah with a smile, “you can’t even deny it, so don’t.”

“Why would I deny it?” Jinah laughed as she replied incredulously. “What, do you think I’m convinced that you just lie to me all the time?” She shifted the cup on the table between them again as they spoke, easily matching his smile.She honestly would have been okay with any suggestion he had given her when he asked earlier if she was free. “How’s Halo going?” Jinah asked curiously, “it seems like everyone loved you guy’s debut,” she paused, taking another sip of her hot chocolate, “I did, at least.”

“i need to find out that photoshoot you did with him - i bet it’d be a laugh to go through.” sebin teased with a smile before tilting his head a little. “maybe? is there something more than a crush?”

“I still haven’t seen any of them,” she admitted. “I bet our height difference is enough to get people’s attention, though, even if it is just for school uniforms,” Jinah laughed again, unable to bite back the embarrased smile on her face. “Maybe.” 

“you’re right. there’s nothing like straight up just memeing out onstage. you’re great, jinah– y’know that, right?”

“Oh, thank you,” she smiled from the compliment. “I’m glad I’m at least supporting your memeing, and your group.”

“I see why you would think that since it was predominantly foreign for awhile.” Baekhyung said as he nodded understandingly. “With a name like Baekhyung you’d think more people would be like you and instantly think Korean.”

“I mean, people assume that I grew up here because I speak Korean and I have a Korean name, and then get surprised when they hear me speak English,” she suggested. “Maybe people just have to know you first before they know you as a Gaia artist, if that makes any sense.”

“the answer is so obvious, it hurts, but that’s why nobody’ll ever get it,” jaehyung mused with a laugh. he watched her reaction to the reference of the maknae and he grinned. “hm, that’s a tough bargain but are you sure he can handle it? he seems pretty frail - emotionally, i mean.”

“Well, there’s just so many guys you hangout with during all that time you spend away from us...” Jinah trailed off, as if she was remembering all the times Jaehyung had ditched the girls for other people. She looked up him at the comment about her boyfriend, before smacking Jaehyung’s arm softly. “Maybe you should run off with this guy, then,” she suggested in fake-offense. “Oh c’mon, Jaehyung. Do you want us to actually ship it or just say that we do?”

“i honestly had forgotten it was so bad. i felt terrible. poor subin…”

“This time you won’t scar her, will you?” she asked jokingly. “Promise?”
