"thank you for the treat", yeoji thanked sunghoon after they exited the convenience store. she is somehow happy that even through their interactions like this, they became close to what she thought of her cold neighbor before.

"i should be the one to thank you, right?", yeoji smiled at sunghoon's confusion. "anyways, thank you for coming with me tonight yeoji, even you shouldn't be able to go out", sunghoon slightly bowed to her which surprised her.

"oh, it's nothing. we can still hang out next time", she said. well, she was true to what she said. she already became comfortable with sunghoon in a consideration of their down-to-earth conversations while eating ramyeon a while ago. it was there she got to know sunghoon much better.

sunghoon just smiled to her as they started walking again to their neighborhood to go home. silence enveloped them again. but yeoji suddenly felt the cold breeze of the dawn touching her skin, that made her realize that she was only wearing her pj's, without her sweater nor cardigan. so, she hugged her arm and thought that the cold will be reduced.

"wear this", sunghoon said as he noticed that yeoji is cold. he took off his black jacket and put it on yeoji's shoulder.

"how about you?", yeoji asked worriedly. sunghoon is only wearing a white shirt underneath so he might get cold too.

"oh, don't worry. i have strong resistance, don't i?", he said then acted like he was showing his not-so-visible muscles that made yeoji winced in cringe.

"nevermind", she playfully rolled her eyes as if she was teasing sunghoon that made him frowned. they started bickering again to each other to lift up their atmosphere, not realizing that they are already in front of their houses.

"i guess it's time to go inside", sunghoon scratched his head, as if he wanted to be with yeoji for a while.

"oh, i should return your jacket first before i even forget", yeoji said and was about to take off his jacket but sunghoon stopped him.

"no— i mean, it's now yours for now. just return it whenever you want", sunghoon seemed embarrassed after what he said. "i know you're still cold", he added in whisper.

yeoji nodded and sweetly smiled at him. "thank you for today, sunghoon. may you have a good night."

sunghoon can feel the heat on his ears. he knows that his ears were getting red, just because of what yeoji told him. it's not just a typical 'good night' for him. if he had to, he would loved to listen yeoji keep saying that words to him.

but when yeoji was about to enter their house, she was stunned when sunghoon suddenly spoke up.

"would you mind coming with me to my practice?"

she smiled. this is what she's waiting for. she really wants to see sunghoon perform figure skating. then, she faced the young man and eagerly nodded her head.

"yes! i would loved to", she exclaimed in excitement.

sunghoon chuckled. "so i guess, i'll just message you the other details of my practice", he said then playfully winked at yeoji. "but don't you dare lose my phone number, got it?"

"aish, you probably know that i would never do that right? i already saved it on my contacts, jerk", yeoji snickered and grumpily crossed her arms. but sunghoon find it cute, tho.

"okay, okay. as you said so, rabbit", sunghoon raised his arms in defeat, still teasing yeoji. yeoji just glares at him and before they would even know, sunghoon was already running away from her and went inside of his house, feeling afraid, as if yeoji would skinned him alive.

they ended up their good night with a smile on their faces.
