Tuesday, Taehyung's car, 2 pm, Jin's POV:

871 54 6
                                        

- "Can't you drive any faster? If I don't get an iced americano in the next two seconds I am quite literally going to shrivel up and die," you said, sighing and picking up Tae's phone to pick a song to play.

- "Yes, I could, but I'm not in the mood to get a ticket. Be patient," Tae replied, not taking his eyes off the road.

- You narrowed your eyes, looking at him sidelong before starting to play your new song through the car's speakers. You knew he still hadn't listened to it, and you had been sneakily mixing your music into his playlists without him noticing.

- The two of you were going to a café, using the fact that you were working on lyric writing for your future collab as a cover story.

- You had taken a photo of the two of you before you left Tae's penthouse, intending to tweet it preemptively right before you got out of the car, beating the fans to the punch.

- "Oh please! I could drive better that you with my toes. How do you even have a driver's license?" you asked, grinning and reclining your seat so you were almost horizontal.

- "I forgot, which one of us is older? Will you sit up like an adult, you're making nervous," Tae replied before pinching your knee.

- "And what song is this? It's great," he added as you returned your seat to its upright position.

- "Ha! I knew you would like my music!" you exclaimed, and the corners of Tae's mouth turned up as he replied, "Oh, if it's yours then it's actually awful. My mistake."

- *An Hour Later*

- The two of you were sitting snugly in the back booth of a café, eating little cakes and drinking your coffee. You had a notebook in front of you with a few scribbled lines on it that Tae had copied out of a poetry book, so it looked like you were writing lyrics. He really thought this through, using props hadn't even crossed your mind.

- "Do you think we could pass a visit to a PC room off as song practice?" you asked, watching Tae doodle on the corner of the paper.

- "Probably not. And I think one public date is enough for today," he replied, grinning at you as he pulled out his phone.

- You took a sip of your coffee and watching as he clicked a few buttons. He held out his phone to you, and you read the text message on the screen.

- 'Stop adding fuel to the trash fire that's ruining your reputation.'

- "I don't think my boss is very happy with me," he said, slipping his phone back into his pocket.

- "Don't let him intimidate you, your baby CEO is harmless. I've known him forever. Just treat him like how you would treat an angry kitten," you said, waving your hand at Tae and taking another sip of coffee.
