“ but you can’t share ? ” she batted her eyelashes , smiling triumphantly when the basket of fries was pushed towards her . “ i always give you a sip of it . ” she mumbles shoving two fries into her mouth . “ im a sharer . ”

          they  rolled  their  eyes,  but  gave  in  anyway,  placing  both  hands  in  each  of  his.  “  fine,  fine.  but  when  your  hands  start  to  get  a  little  colder,  you  can’t  blame  me,  okay  ?  ”  a smile shone through their lips. the  night  had  been  unexpectedly  cold,  and  ren  had  been  trying  their  hardest  to  hide  the  fact  that  they  were  actually  freezing,  never  wanting  to  be  an  inconvenience  to  anyone,  even  if  it  meant  exhausting  their  body  of  all  its  heat.

he could feel her following , but he wasn’t going to look back , the air was starting to suffocate him . miles walked further and further away from the situation , although he could feel eyes on him with each step he took , it probably had to do with the brunette following him as he made his way to the kitchen picking up a bottle of water . ignoring her seemed way easier when your brain is pounding and your whole body can hear it . maybe some fresh air would do him good , so he walked into the back yard , less people were congregating there considering the chilly weather they were experiencing that night . “ what annie ? ” he questioned her , he was tired . he didn’t want to have this argument he just wanted to go home and pretend that this night never happened and it would be easy because no one had seen him punch anybody .  pulling his hand away from hers , he looks at anywhere but the girl standing in front of him . “ i’m not drunk . and that’s the worse part . go back to your friend i’m not the one who needs help . ” he retorts , his words sounding cringe against his ears . 

jisung felt proud of suggesting something that was interesting to her. “mmm,” he nodded his head. he didn’t add on that there was likely no need for coffee for what was going to happen tonight. he hoped that her excitement would keep her awake as it was. “there?” jisung squinted as he pointed in the direction that she was showing him. “oh really? i should come visit you sometime then, hm?” he wrapped his arm around her waist, turning his head to give her the gentlest of kisses tot he side of her head. their drinks were soon handed over to them as he led her back to a seat near the edge of the space. “give it a try and let me know how it is,” he exclaimed, wondering if she might like it.

            foot  itches  to  kick  the  other  off  the  chair  but  ,  tried  her  best  not  to  .  if  she  causes  another  scene  she’ll  surely  get  banned  from  this  shop  as  well  and  she’s  running  out  of  places  to  have  her  breakfast  and  coffee  at  .   “   i  don’t  like  you  ”  she   sternly  spoke  as  she   glares  at  the  male  .  “  since  you’re  sitting  there  .  you   owe  me  half  of  whatever  you’re  having  .  it’s  only  right  you  compensate  me  for   my  inconvenience  .  so  ….   what   are  you  having  ?  ”  

          “Yeah,” Daehwi responded with a nod. Despite what it may seem like on the physical, the fighter had a rather productive day with his sister. He forced a smile to his lips as he saw the bags she had been carrying and pushed himself onto his feet to help her carry them. “I have another fight later tonight so I ate already,” the male walked towards the kitchen and once again turned on the stove to reheat the soup. Daehwi could spend an eternity trying to understand what went on Suji’s head when she looked at him. Pity? The heavy bags, set on top of the counter while he grabbed a plate and bowl for the female. “I should have waited but, I can’t eat too close to the fight and,” his words trailed as he raised his head to meet her gaze, “didn’t want to go on an empty stomach.”

she’s been struggling to come to terms with the break up since it happened, hoping that the few weeks they had to get over it would have made things a little bit easier. it didn’t. it felt DIFFERENT not being around him as much as she did before, it was still extremely foreign to her. she wanted nothing more than to reach over and give him a quick kiss or wrap her arms around his waist, simple gestures that she had grown so accustomed to when they were together. she’s putting on a brave face but all she wanted to do was cry. “ i really like that movie. ” she says nonchalantly, it was actually her favorite movie. irene nods as she rushes to the kitchen basin to wash her hands, the feeling of chicken making her tummy turn. “ yes please. i hate that job … ” a lightheaded laugh escapes her lips before she moves over to the vegetable cutting board, turning her head towards minseok. “ thank you. ”

taewoo  grinned  at  her  suggestion  of  going  away  on  their  own,  he  was  sure  that  once  the  baby  was  a  little  bit  older  it  wouldn’t  do  much  harm  to  leave  her  with  one  of  their  parents  for  a  few  days  to  get  some  well-deserved  bonding  time  together. “my  mom  would  be  more  than  happy  to  look  after  her  so  we  can  get  away,  let’s  think  about  that  in  a  few  months.”  he  agreed  as  she  leant  in  for  a  kiss. pulling  back  taewoo’s  eyes  were  still  focused  on  her  lips  as  she  asked  about  how  he  was  as  a  child. he  couldn’t  help  but  smirk  as  he  pecked  another  soft  kiss  to  her  lips  in  order  to  momentarily  distract  her  from  the  answer  he  was  about  to  give. “well,  let’s  just  say  i  was  a  bit  of  a  jokester.”  he  grinned. “i  was  quite  playful  to  be  honest,  sometimes  a  bit  chaotic. if  she’s  anything  like  me  we’re  going  to  have  a  bit  of  a  fiery  one  on  our  hands…”  he  laughed. “but  i  mellowed  out  quite  a  bit. i  kind  of  hope  she  is  like  that  though,  a  bit  of  spunk  in  her. not  sure  she  needs  to  inherit  your  clumsiness,”  he  teased  while  squeezing  suji’s  hip,  tone  turning  slightly  more  serious. “it  doesn’t  matter  really,  as  long  as  she’s  happy.”

she  relaxed  against  the  back  of  her  chair  as  the  other  joined  her  at  her  breakfast  counter,  musing  over  his  suggesting. “  a  hospital  does  sound  like  a  good  idea. but  like  you  said,  i  kind  of  don’t  want  people  to  see. it’s  not  because  i  care  about  what  they  think… ”  she  trailed  off  as  she  thought  of  those  people  who  liked  to  linger  around  wherever  she  found  herself  to  be. “… more  i  don’t  want  people  to  think  i’m  being  cheap  because  i  can’t  afford  to  buy  them  myself. ”  she  let  out  a  small  sigh. “  i  won’t  win  either  way. i’m  either  being  wasteful  or  tacky. ”  

deciding  she  didn’t  want  to  linger  on  the  topic  of  the  flowers  for  too  long,  her  eyes  narrows  as  a  playful  smirk  appeared  on  her  lips  as  she  circled  back  to  their  previous  conversation. “  what  kind  of  people  do  you  go  for,  hyunwoo?  ”  she  was  genuinely  curious. “  i  envisage  someone  who’s  very  clean… has  their  life  together… elegant,  classy… ”  she  trailed  off,  adjectives  falling  out  of  her  lips. “  someone  that  makes  people  think  damn… power  couple  when  they  look  at  you. ”  her  eyebrow  quipped. “  kinda  sounds  like  me,  no?  ”  risky,  ahyoung.  

it   still   blew   his   mind   from   time   to   time   that   she   had   to   deal   with   all   of   this.   sure   he   had   some   sort   of   idea   but   it   was   nothing   like   experiencing   all   the   thoughts   that   must’ve   popped   up   in   her   head.   perhaps   it   was   why   he   cared   so   much   for   her   even   passed   whats   expected   of   him.   he   wanted   to   make   sure   that   she   was   alright   -   not   the   star   people   see   but   the   real   her.   “its   tough,”   he   nods   his   head   with   a   small   hum   before   taking   a   sip   of   his   drink.

· · · · · The options give her pause, either one weighed on palms to see if either the pros or the cons will be greater than the other. If they had pizza, this whole interaction would be over in a heartbeat. She’d be able to hide within their group of friends and don on a mask of fake smile and forced laughter so carefully curated no one would ask if something is bothering her. She can stay away from him and be alright - or at least be as okay as she can be. On the other hand, this trip is meant to be special and their friends had set the task in their hands. They’re responsible for bringing forth something delicious. It’ll take more time, sure, and a lot more talking that she really does want to get away from but… “That’s a little lazy don’t you think?” she hums, staring down at her hands. “We should make the first night special. They’re counting on us after all. I can make the dessert and help with the pasta. You can make the salad so then our jobs are evenly distributed.” The whole spiel had taken effort as she turns back to face the cabinets. “Just let me know what you need help with.”

he   leaned   back   against   the   counter,   he   nods   his   head,   before   humming   in   agreement.   “hm,   i   suppose   you’re   right.”   he   said   turning   to   open   the   fridge   door   and   grabbing   what   he   needed   for   the   salad   then   leaving   them   in   his   little   corner   among   the   large   surface   space   they   had   in   the   kitchen.   “sounds   like   a   plan...   yerin.”   he   paused   almost   quick   to   say   babe   but   was   able   to   stop   himself.   he   couldn’t   believe   he   was   so   close   to   saying   it.   he   could   feel   his   face   being   to   beam   red   in   self-embarrassment.   “right   yeah.”   he   nods   looking   back   at   her   for   a   moment   before   chopping   up   the   variety   of   vegetables   into   a   large   bowl.   “let   me   know   if   you   need   help   as   well...   what   were   you   thinking   about   making   for   dessert?   i   guess   our   friends   are   lucky   because   your   dessert   is   always   worth   waiting   for.”   the   male   adds   not   wanting   to   leave   the   room   in   awkward   silence.

ahyoung  was  surprised  to  hear  the  other  was  single. she  sat  silently  as  she  listened  to  him  speak,  controlling  every  kind  of  expression  on  her  face  as  her  eyes  trailed  across  his  body,  all  her  thoughts  simply  focused  on  how?  why?  he  was  a  textbook  perfect  person;  tall,  attractive,  could  protect  you  if  someone  was  about  to  kill  you. what  more  did  people  want  these  days?  

“  i’m  surprised  by  that. ”  she  commented  truthfully  as  she  looked  at  him,  head  cocking  to  the  side. “  you’re  hot. it’s  weird  you’re  single. you  should  do  something  about  that,  people  might  think  there’s  something  wrong  with  you  otherwise. ”  she  laughed  before  looking  back  to  the  flowers  and  letting  out  a  small  sigh. “  i  know,  it  is… a  shame. i  just… it’s  gross,  you  know?  ”  she  tapped  the  counter  a  couple  of  times  before  looking  back  over  to  his  tall  frame. “  you  have  any  ideas?  ”

he   stood   there,   hands   tucked   into   his   pocket   as   he   leaned   back   against   the   counter.   he   shrugged   his   shoulders   not   being   able   to   give   an   answer   to   why   his   relationship   status   was   the   way   it   is.   “are   you?”   he   chuckled   shaking   his   head.   he   wasn’t   really   phased   by   her   compliment,   he   knew   he   was   fairly   good   looking   and   even   her   fans   were   expressive   of   it   but   it   did   manage   to   make   him   laugh.   “maybe   there   is   something   wrong   with   me.”   he   jokingly   said.   “or   maybe   its   just   the   people   i   go   for.”   

   “ oh, so you’re almost there yourself. ” arin nodded his head. “ you’re treating me, so when the time comes, i’ll treat you - no objections. ” he pointed, a smile on his face. it was only fair, right? she was a friend and she worked very hard. “ and i forgot about valentine’s day. i’m getting ready to turn twenty-three on february 28th, so that holiday is the last thing i’m thinking about. ”

she   nods   letting   out   a   little   chuckle,   “so   close!”   annie   was   always   looking   forward   to   what   was   next   in   life.   she   was   getting   tired   of   her   job   at   the   floral   shop   and   hoped   to   land   a   better   after   graduating.   “to   be   honest,   i   used   to   forget   until   this   job   but   ah   right   you’re   birthday   is   soon!   do   you   have   any   plans   -   anything   you   really   want   to   do?”
