"thank you." areum mumbled to the light haired waiter, who was setting down her portion of steak on a sleek white plate on the table cloth. she fiddled with the napkin in her lap, laying it out before slowly cutting into the steak.
the man nodded and went back to his place, presumably somewhere in the kitchen or waiting on another table. jimin had selected the lobster and salad, and was currently sprinkling salt over the multi colored lettuce and cabbage.
"so, i assume your job's paying well?" areum asks, gesturing to his clean-cut suit with her fork. he nods and shrugs simultaneously, sipping on his glass of champagne.
"you could say so." jimin runs his fingers through his hair, letting it fall back down and curl slightly under his ears. "my boss is a real pain in the ass sometimes. but, that shouldn't be a problem since i'm taking over soon."
he grinned as he said the statement, almost non chalantly, and areum's eyes widened in shock. "really? that's great."
"yeah, it really is." he leans back against the booth and pauses for a moment, both of them listening to the silence that filled the air around them. even though the restaurant was bustling with life, areum could seemingly only hear her own heartbeat.
jimin sighs, and places an unreadable expression on his face. the black haired girl tries to dissect it. she can't tell any of his emotions from his features, but in his brown eyes, those mocha brown eyes she had come to love, she could see the sadness that laced over them.
"i really missed you, you know." he says plainly, small traces of sincereness in his voice. areum blushes, looking down at her lap before shaking her head and chuckling dryly.
before she can properly think of a response, an out of breath soojung rushes in, clutching her bag to her red cocktail dress before smiling as she reached the table.
"sorry i'm so late." she pauses and looks at both of them before her smile fades just a bit. "what did i miss?"
areum sighs before standing up and pushing her plate towards the center of the table.
"nothing much. if you don't mind, soojung. i'm feeling a little sick, i think i'll be going home." she turns back to the black haired boy, a bitter tone arising in her voice. "thanks for the dinner, jimin."
"thanks for everything."
