After managing to sneakily get by Hyejin and Jay, they were now on their way towards the little fair, in their Pj's of course.
"A few games and then we leave, Hyejin won't be out for long" Jaeje told him, still grumpy over his disturbance.
"Deal" he agreed and quickly whisked them into the nearest booth as they passed through the gate.
"Lemme win something for you" Heeseung told her as they stumbled across a ball toss booth.
"Knock all 3 down and you win a prize" the worker who seemed ready to drop to the floor yawned as he gestured to the game.
"Easy enough" Heeseung handed over the money and took 3 small balls given to him.
"Don't whine if you lose" Jaeje rolled her eyes, expecting to deal with a temper tantrum later on.
"Tsk" he rolled his eyes, but continued the game anyway, simultaneously missing all of them.
"This is rigged" he declared after failing a third time.
"Do I really look like I have the strength to cheat anyone right now? " the worker yawned, looking at him like he was crazy.
"Alright you have enough cash left for one more game and we're leaving after, so lemme do it" Jaeje held her hands out for the cash and Heeseung reluctantly gave it over.
"Fine, but I won't say I told you so when you lose" Jaeje in fact did not lose and ended up winning a stuffed dear.
"Here, I won it for you" Jaeje gives him a mocking smile and places the toy in his hands.
Heeseung stares at the stuffed animal for a few seconds with an unreadable expression.
"Thank you, can I get a kiss? " he asks and Jaeje gives him an incredulous look.
"How did that question pop up? " she asks, crossing her arms.
"I'm still upset about not winning anything for you, so I'd feel better with a kiss" he pouts, holding the toy to his chest.
"Let's go" Jaeje holds his forearm to drag him back home, but he just turned out of her grip and stays put, pout still edged on his face.
"Oh my days" Jaeje sighs, she's too exhausted to deal with him tonight.
"Fine" she agrees and Heeseung exclaims in victory.
"Ok ok" he closes his eyes, waiting to feel her lips on his, but opens them in surprise when he feels them at his cheek instead.
She's still close, not having backed away from him yet.
"You never said where it should be" she smiles, it radiates humor and trickery.
"Beautiful" he blurts out, still staring.
"Hm? " she asks finally backing away.
"Your smile, it's beautiful" even with the darkness around them, her blush was clear as day and she pushed him back.
"You can't just tell a girl she's beautiful out of nowhere" she scolds, starting to walk out the fair.
"Why? I'm a very honest person" he asks, walking to catch up to her.
"Think about it, you're a very handsome man, and as much as I hate to say it you're also charming, complimenting a girl like that can make her feel things, you know?" She said and the main message of what she said didn't even reach Heeseung, much less for him to acknowledge it.
"You think I'm handsome and charming, and I make you feel things? " he asks with shimmering eyes.
"You really only hear what you want to, don't you? " she asks, receiving a firm nod.
"I can hear a lot of things, but never ' I like you' from you" he tells her as they walk back in the peaceful street.
"Maybe if you weren't you, I'd say it" she tells him.
"Figures" he shrugs.
"I appreciate you humbling yourself for my sake, it must be hard not having to our daily hookups around the office" she says, holding her hands behind her back.
"It was nothing, besides I was getting bored anyways and-" he's about to start his rambling when he feels another kiss to his cheek.
"Sorry, it's the only way to shut you up" she apologizes, but has a small smile on her face and Heeseung can feel the blush on his.
Anger, with a side of fluster.
"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here around this time? " a drunk male who seems to be in his 30's comes round the corner and spots the two of them on the empty street.
"Ignore and keep walking" she tells herself and she passes the man, just to feel him grasp her hand.
"Oh, don't go, I haven't even-" he's about to start whining when a hand places itself on top of his.
"Are you crazy? " gone is his playful expression, his face now twisted to one of silent anger.
"Go ahead, I'll make sure he doesn't follow" he releases the man's grip from her hand and gestures for her to keep going, she's about to tell him to just let the man go and follow but the look he gives her stops her from doing so and she continues on her way.
"Wow-" the drunk exclaims "where did you find a beauty like her, I'm also interested" the man finds himself pinned to a wall a second later, a hand tight around his neck.
"Have you really lost it? " Heeseung voice is still calm, but his grip on the man's neck gets visibly tighter until he's choking and sliding into the ground.
"Are you really going to beat me up cause you have a problem with sharing? " the man ask, obviously too drunk to realize the oxygen being cut off, that is until Heeseung leaves his neck and instead places his foot on the man's stomach and presses down hard.
"Ack-fuck! " the man exclaims as all the food and alcohol seem to boil in his stomach.
"Fine fine, I'm sorry for looking at your woman" the man finally apologizes as he feels the pain rumble through his stomach, making it feel like it was about to burst.
"She isn't my woman you bastard" Heeseung touches the cheek that has been kissed twice, staring off into the direction she went before turning back to the man.
"Not yet"
