"So, what do I get in return now?" Joobin pattered her fingers against the wooden surface of the table, causing the man to involuntarily gulp down the accumulating lump in his throat— all in one go.
"What do you mean— Is this because you roasted them out? What can I even give you except for a thanks? Thanks a lot for—"
"Ah, save that. I don't need your thanks. Instead, what I want is," Joobin inclined further towards the male, a genuine grin splitting across her previously mischievous features, "for you to grant me the wish of taking you out for dinner. For old time's sake, please?"

If you hadn't stopped me that day and given back my wallet to me, Heaven knows what would I have been doing right now," Joobin chortled, the sound that erupted tending to ring like a melody in the ears of the one she had addressed, "thank you..."
"Kim Seokjin." Seokjin stated as a content smile crept onto his lips.
"Mr. Kim Seokjin." Joobin repeated after Seokjin.
