"Aria's going to choose Jinyoung," Se-jun speaks up with a playful smile, aiming a teasing look at Jinyoung.

"Me?" Jinyoung laughs, his cheeks turning red. He tries to play it cool but can't hide his smile. "If she doesn't, i'm going to have a serious chat with her." He laughs trying to lighten up the mood.

"The person I want to be in Paradise with is..." Aria pauses, taking a deep breath as she prepares to reveal the name she's been holding onto ever since she got to know him. Despite the nerves, a small, confident smile appears on her face. "Kim Jinyoung-ssi."

Aria looks up again, her eyes meeting his for the umpteenth time. "Yes," she admits, watching as his expression falters slightly before he quickly composes himself. "I never really knew who my type was, to be honest. I just knew I liked guys who made me feel comfortable and took care of me. It was just something I appreciated in guys in general," she explains. "But now, I have a type. Someone like you, Jinyoung-ssi."

Aria keeps her eyes on Jinyoung as he fixes the bed, preparing it for her to sleep on. She smiles, her mind drifting back to the time they've spent talking and getting to know each other. After she admitted that her type had changed after meeting him, their connection deepened, leading to countless conversations about everything and anything, simply for the joy of sharing their thoughts.

As her gaze roams over his body, she notices the way his muscles flex with each movement. The sight sends a rush of warmth to her cheeks, and she instinctively cups her face, feeling the heat rise as her thoughts wander into uncharted, romantic territory.

Sensing the sudden silence, Jinyoung turns his head and catches sight of her holding her face. "You okay, pretty eyes?" he asks, concern mingling with affection in his voice.

Aria quickly looks up at the nickname, her heart skipping a beat. "Uh, yeah," she mutters, flustered by the intensity of her feelings.

"You sure?" Jinyoung sighs, stopping what he's doing and taking a step closer to her, his eyes searching hers.

Aria nods, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Yeah, yeah... I was just thinking."

Jinyoung raises his brows, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "About me?"

Aria rolls her eyes, shaking her head as laughter bubbles up inside her. "You wish."

"I do," Jinyoung suddenly mutters, his expression turning serious. His eyes lock onto hers with a depth that takes her breath away. "I do wish you'd think about me as much as I think about you."

Aria's heart flutters at his words, the sincerity in his gaze making her feel like the only person in the world. "Who said I don't?" She lets the words spill out before she can control herself.

Jinyoung's eyes widen slightly at her boldness, a side of her he hasn't seen before. A slow smile spreads across his face. "I like this different side of you, pretty eyes," he tells her, his voice low and warm. "It excites me."

Aria smiles, glancing down at her feet, feeling a mix of shyness and thrill at his words. She looks back up, her eyes meeting his again. Unsure how to respond, she decides to shift the conversation. "I had a great time today with you, oppa," she mutters softly.
