“Soju, soju–” He breathes, hands finding the ignition; a nose wrinkles in her direction as he starts the car. “Don’t you already drink enough of that? You drink it like water, Sunny. I don’t want to be your enabler, yanno? Like, the blame would fall on me for not stopping whatever atrocities occur later due to your inability to understand an alcohol to blood ratio.”“hmm… are you seriously buying me dinner?” Sunny asked, having little faith in him sticking to his offer because she didn’t want another episode of younger friends offering to buy her meals but then she ends up paying last minute. “…But if you’re willing to buy, I’m in the mood for some BBQ and suju” she giggled, She wondered why he didn’t want others to know he’s paying, but she’d rather not ask with the smell and taste of hanwoo she so longed for tingling all of her senses.she kept looking around wondering how deep his pockets were as his arm almost became engulfed by the tight jeans, she froze as she felt millions of civilians’ eyes looking at them, she covered up her face with her snap-back and waited for him to locate his keys. He stopped and pulled his keys out then started power walking to his car, she was astounded by his speed but mostly because she witnessed such a petite man walking, no, running? to his car- she giggled.
“Yah~ Noona is never mean, she’s just teasing her little hoobae” she grinned at the boy in the driver’s seat as she sat down at the passenger seat “woah~ nice ride. How long have you had this?” she asked -counting the numbers of episodes she watched of Top Gear- she claims to be a bit of a car enthusiast, she looked around and fiddled with his musics “All Red Velvet? HMH! where’s SNSD?” she pouted, but she quickly turned on her bluetooth and put on SNSD’s DEAR MOM, “doesn’t it just tug the heartstrings” singing along and pretending to sniffle while dabbing her eyes as if she’s crying.
Sunny looked around to see where he’s taking her, she still hope that it’s at a Korean barbecue, but she felt unprotected and lost as they drove through blocks and alleys just to end up on the previous road. She wanted to celebrate their debut by pigging out before 10PM but she can feel time ticking by and with the promise she made to her coach she HAS to manage her timings and consumption. she slid further and further at every traffic lights as her stomach growled louder than the engine “JaeJin-ahh~ are we almost there? my stomach’s hurting, I haven’t eaten since yesterday” she whined trying to use her aegyo power even though she knows how annoying and stressful it can be.
“Haaaa?” It’s a sound of exasperation as he plunges a hand back into his pocket in search of his keys; this action by itself takes awhile as if they’d burrowed somewhere deeper than the depths of his pocket. He chooses that moment to speak suddenly, “What are you in the mood for? Don’t ask me for anything expensive, and don’t tell anyone I paid for the food later, alright?”Sunny regretted giving her phone to the boy in front of her, she had a slightly off feeling when she let the device slip through her hand, but she now could do nothing but watch him giggle and slide his bony childlike finger through her screen, “just put your number in” she impatiently reminds him, but when she glanced at the screen, she saw just how close he was to opening all those credential texts that she has received, fortunately he scrolled onto her gaming apps and at that she exhaled a deep breath to calm her down.
She was ready to leave so she took her keys out from her small pouch and locked the door, then she placed her keys into her backpack, “Okay, you lead the way” she said, the kid started walking ahead without glancing up from her phone I want my phone back she though to herself, still worrying over the texts especially when he had that weird look on his face, but she tried to act natural and skipped down the steps.
“Lead the way, boy” she purposely called out to tease him, “where’s the pumpkin carriage at?” she teased again. She took her phone back and with the promise of food delivery she felt relieved but her eyes suddenly widened and her lips pursed when she heard his Korean accent jumbled together with English words, then an image of him doing the dance popped into her mind which made her giggle but she tried to hide it quickly before he ever saw it, “I’ll pray for you” she smirks before running after the boy towards his car.

Though the older female didn’t deign to assist him in his struggle to navigate the dark (lonely, lonely) hallways, he did eventually find his exit. Victory was his once again, and he crows in triumph. The doors to the building’s exit were glass, transparent, and so he could easily spot Sunny as he reached them. Upon pushing open the door, his resolution has already been made to be the bigger person. (Yet, he couldn’t help but offer her a very, very disdainful sniff.)Sunny’s eyes glared up at him as he poked her forehead, she felt offended at his attempt to mock her height, but especially when they met not that long ago,she let it go… for now, Jaejin quickly took the lead without waiting for her.
“I’m coming, Gosh!!”,she exclaimed, she hesitantly follows and to catch up with him so that they could have some conversations, but he just keeps on walking without any glances.
“aioo~ this kid must be crazy, he doesn’t even have any manners” she scoffed under her gasping breaths. She slowed down when she noticed that the boy veered off to the left, she smirked and made a right turn where in a couple of meters the exit sign was located.
She went out the door escaping from the muffled building into the busy streets, she decided to sit on the steps to wait for the younger one to find his way out, she giggled as she imagined a hamster trying to find his way out from a maze but when he finally came out she had -what she claimed as- her pokerface on.
“Jaejin, are we taking your car? or do you wanna take a ride in My Man?” referencing to her car “either way, we HAVE to stop by some place to eat. I’m sooo hungry” she whined as she pats her belly, she heard her phone chirp and she suddenly remembered,she quickly exited out her message and opened her contact
“Oh, before I forget enter your number in”she puts her phone in front of the kid.
A shocked noise escapes his throat unaccounted for and he grapples with the urge to bicker with her, dark orbs squinting up at the ceiling as if averting his gaze would cause him some great comfort. It wouldn’t, because her head still crested at the edge of his vision, and he wouldn’t be so rude as to slap the offending obstruction away. That would be such a Sunny thing to do.She scoffs deeply at the unmannerly gesture he made towards her as if she’s some sort of an animal in training, she muttered “idiot” under her breath and shouted “HEY! I didn’t take that long!!” she hid her annoyance with a smile“so… where are we going? the way you invited me was so sudden, I hope it’s not someplace weird…”
He scrunches his nose at her, unsure of how to respond due to her inability to overlook his (dreadfully) most common concern. Instead, he opted to continue as if she hadn’t spoken to save face and hopefully avoid any impending embarrassment geared towards whatever his next words may have been. “Are you ready? I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for you to come down from your room. I’m old now. My back hurts and I’m ready to go.”“Yea, is it not enough?”, with a curious expression she slightly turns to reveal her white Manhattan backpack“It contains all my necessities:clothes,toothbrush, hairbrush, and other feminine products”, she said as she giggles “JJ what did you bring?”
