"So should I walk you home?" Daniel proposed as they walked side by side.

"You, bringing me home?" Fay asked him in disbelieve.

"Yeah, why not?" Daniel shrugged, seemingly not finding the idea weird.

"How about you go home, and make sure you get a proper rest?" Fay gave him the don't-push-it-boi look "Before you get dizzy again?"

"I won't." Daniel said holding up his hands in defense, "I promise I won't."

"Uhu, you promise something and your body does something else," Fay nodded her head sarcastically, totally not believing him " Because that's exactly what you also say before you fall asleep."

"Hey, that's a different situation." Daniel denied a bit hurt by that statement, "I can't do anything about that."

"You're right." Fay admitted seeing the light pout on his face, "I shouldn't have used that as an example but, instead of letting you bring me home I got a better idea."

"Tell me," Daniel said looking at her curiously.

"How about we buy cream puffs from that French pastry shop." Fay proposed - pointing at the shop, before turning towards the river bank opposite off the shop "And sit down in the grass, like an after-school snack picnic thing."

"Sounds good to me!" Daniel agreed, his eyes started twinkling only by the thought of cream puffs, and the idea of spending more time with Fay.

"But!" Fay immediately halted him resolutely holding up her index finger, "It's my treat."

"I can't-" Daniel started protesting but Fay shushed him by putting her finger against his lips.

"Shush child, I want no protest." Fay enunciated with a sharp gaze, "Or I'm heading straight home now."

Daniel had no other choice but to cave in and his shoulders drooped as he grumbled: "You should let me pamper you."

"Hm?" Fay looked at him confused because she didn't hear him whilst placing the order.

"It's nothing," Daniel mumbled grabbing her hand and interlacing their fingers gently.

Fay shrugged it off as one of his moments and turned her focus back on the lady behind the counter, who was preparing their order...

*Shopping mall*

"So any ideas on what to buy for Fay?" Risa asked as she and Leo strolled through the mall.

"Well, I thought," Leo began explaining his plan, "Since both her birthday and graduation are close, why not get a big present for both?"

"Did she drop any hints or," Risa inquired him as she had picked up nothing from Fay, "did she say something like "I like this?" or "I need this."

"You're asking that to ME," Leo quipped dramatically "about Fay. You spend more time with her on a daily basis."

"Okay, that was stupid to ask." Risa acknowledged "Besides, that being lives on coffee and the minimalistic style."

"I was thinking about a graduation trip," Leo suggested in a thoughtful mannerism dropped as he rubbed his chin, thinking about all the possibilities, "Of course for you too then."

"Inside or outside Korea?" Risa looked at him as her interest had been prickled highly.

"I don't know," Leo shrugged a bit sheepishly "I'm still budgeting and planning."
