“ why can't you just admit it ? ” jaime's voice rang out, laced with frustrations and disbelief. “ you're only with them to piss me off, right ? well, congratulations. you've got my attention. so feel free to drop the act now ! ”

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. "admit what?" maxine asked, hands moving to rest on her hips at the confrontation jamie seemed to be pushing onto her. "your attention? what makes you think i want your attention!" she laughed back, hoping the nervousness in her voice didn't seep through; was she being that obvious? "i think you're being a little delusional, have you seen someone about that?"

Serena ended up putting a hand over her face and letting out a quiet groan. She thought that she had said that in the most obvious way that she had, but the other had focused on a different part of her words. “Okay, yes you are my best friend, and I would like to continue being your best friend even if other aspects of our best friendship may change.”

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. confusion painted across stevie's face, brow furrowing as she continued to chew her food. "why do you keep saying you're my best friend? i know you are. are you trying to break up with me, is that what this is?" she said, mouth full of pasta as she put the fork down on the table. "oh my god, you're friend-dumping me, aren't you?"

"Well," he said with a playful scoff following after. Having someone keep him company and able to do small things for him was appreciated. Haneul was never the serious type, but he was also rarely vulnerable, often trying to mask it with something else. "I hope not. I really don't think the rest of the team would ever let me live it down," he admitted to her with a small shake of his head. "I don't remember the last time I saw a happy meal. I had to be a kid still, but I heard the kids meals got way smaller which is a ripe off but the toy kinda makes it worth it." He trailed off, snapping out of his thoughts when he felt the hit on his ankle. Stiffening up and hissing slightly, Haneul frowned at Maxine momentarily, mumbling an 'ouch'. "It's fine -- we have a deal. I'm in it for the toy," he mused in response. "Oh? So guess I should enjoy it while I can, hm?"

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. maxine was quick to drop the subject of his team members finding out about his altercation with the young teens for now, more astounded by the fact that haneul hadn't had a happy meal in so long. "you're missing out! i don't know what the toys are right now... what do you want? i'll treat you." she teased, pulling out her phone and bringing up a food app. "you know, AI is amazing these days. i could get a video of you getting müllered by apprentice soccer players made..." max drew off, grinning to herself before realising he was in pain from when she'd knocked his foot. "sorry," she said softly, before nodding. "yeah, i guess so. revel in it a bit. what if you get a toy that i want?"

"My night in shining blue jeans," he mused, batting his eyelashes at her playfully. "I am thankful that you were able to help me out, though. It means a lot." Haneul then said, truth laced in his tone. Being stuck with a swollen ankle was the last thing he wanted. Maxine did make a point. If he had got to the hospital himself, he would have been sitting there for hours. He knew that he wasn't the most patient person, and clearly so did she with that remark. "Hey, I didn't think they were going to be that ruthless, okay? I thought I was playing a friendly game with them and they absolutely annihilated me... and embarrassed me, but that's not the point." He huffed out stubbornly, crossing his arms childishly. "Are you on my team or theirs?"

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. "theirs." maxine said, without missing a beat as she looked down at her nails while teasing her friend, though haneul's sincerity and thanks did cause pride to swell in her chest. "do you think anyone caught it on video? thee haneul lee getting his ass kicked by a bunch of adolescents on the field in his chosen profession... could go for a lot of money." max hummed, "think about how many happy meals you could buy with that? do you know what the toy for the happy meal is at the moment? it's some weird sanrio and yugioh mix... tell you what, when your foot is better," she bashed his ankle, temporarily forgetting that's what was injured on him, "we can go get you a happy meal toy. deal?" max looked and saw the pained expression on his features. "oh... sorry. but, don't get used to this—i won't be too nice to you for too long."

❝ listen, i'm not trying to be a killjoy -- truly, i'm not, ❞ she kept her voice slow and steady, careful as ever not to let any emotion slip through. which ended up proving fruitless, as irritation ( her neutral state ) always managed to rear its ugly head the second she opened her mouth. ❝ but do you ever talk about anything but your romantic conquests ?? didn't you just go through a breakup ?? ❞

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. "you're being a bit of a killjoy addie, have you ever thought about letting people have some fun?" astrid asked, holding her umbrella tightly as she spoke on the phone with her friend, only a block and a half away from meeting her. "it's not like you have anything else going on in life that you want to talk about!" she fought back, hoisting her work bag higher on her shoulder, filled with arts and crafts she'd bought for her students on the way home from work.

“I wish you would just admit that we could be more than just friends,” Serena hummed, bringing the glass of wine up to her lips and taking a sip.

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍓 ⋅ ☆. "what could be more than friends?" stevie asked, focusing on the food in front of her and forking pasta shells up before chowing down. "d-do you mean like... best friends? serena, i thought we were already best friends. are you saying i'm thinking more about us than you? that hurts... that's low..."
