Alba's POV

As you walked into your apartment the next morning, you were still torn about whether to go through with it or not. Exhausted from your shift you sank onto your couch, Saddie immediately jumping onto your lap. "What do you think, girl? Should I go?" you asked her.

Saddie purred contentedly, offering no advice. You sighed and reached for your phone, deciding to text Aina.

Your mind was getting numb from all the exhaustion you got up, with a soft meow, Saddie weaving between your legs as you made your way to the kitchen to make yourself a nice cup of much needed coffee.

After making coffee. You grabbed your phone, remembering Aina must be busy. Still, bestie duties called.

As you poured yourself a cup of coffee, your mind wandered to the events of the previous night. You glanced at your phone, debating whether to seek advice from Aina. You hesitated. But the need for guidance outweighed you reluctance to bother Aina. Finally you typed out a message:

You: Hey, you there? I need some advice.

You: I know you're busy with the trial, but I need your advice.

You: You remember Jungkook from the VIP Lounge the other day I covered my shift?

As the caffeine kicked in, last night's encounter with Jungkook came flooding back to your mind. His dinner invitation for tonight. That smirk. Those eyes. Ugh. Then your hand unintentionally traced where he left the kiss mark. Those lips. Aah.

A few minutes later, your phone buzzed with Aina's reply. Her reply was lightning-fast:

Aina: Ugh, don't remind me. That guy was a jerk! What did he do now? 😠

You can almost hear Aina's exasperation through the screen.

You: Well he asked me to dinner tonight at 8 pm. I'm not sure if I should go.

Aina: GIRL WHAT?! 😱 Spill. Every. Detail. Now.

You grinned, typing furiously:

You: Nothing big well, he showed up at work again last night. He was all charming and persistent, saying he wanted to apologize for how he acted. He invited me to dinner tonight.

Aina: Wait, what?! Are you serious? After the way he treated you? What a nerve! 🙄 so, what did you say?

You: I said yes...

Aina: Alba! Why would you agree to that? You don't owe him anything!

You take a deep breath remembering how he tortured you to agree for this dinner but understanding her frustration and feeling the need to explain your decision. Your phone buzzed again.

Aina: What were you thinking?

That's the problem, how are you going to explain to her that you weren't thinking at that time, he didn't left any space for you to think.

You: I know, I know. It's just... he was so insistent, and I thought maybe it's better to just get it over with. Like, maybe he really wants to apologize and clear the air? And honestly, I didn't want him to keep showing up at work and making things awkward."
