As they sipped their drinks, the two continued their hard work and discussed the paint palette they would be using. There would be many greens and blues seeing how it was a forest at night.

Jun slammed the notepad shut, making Jieun flinch and stare at him. He only smiled at Jieun.

"ALRIGHT! That's enough work for today, I feel." he high fived the other who began to pack her things. "We should probably figure out a time to meet at mine."

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that." Jun chuckled in response.

"I'm thinking... this Sunday I'll be free," Jun said.

"That's a good time. I'll meet you then."

"You don't know my address yet, right?" Jieun nodded her head and Jun continued. "Okay! Then I'll just take you to my place if we meet up here."

"That sounds great, I'll see you then." Jieun unzipped her bag and placed the various notes in there before walking toward the counter to pay. A hand grabbed onto her wrist.

"Wait, I should pay for you. It's okay, really." Jun said and leaned on the counter, paying for the drinks.

"But-" Jieun was too late, Jun had already paid. "I owe you the next time I meet with you."

"It's fine-" he sighed. Jun ended the conversation and walked to the exit, pushing the door open and almost leaving before turning around for a goodbye. "I'll see you on Sunday then! Bye!"

Jieun waved saying, "See you!" and walked towards the door a few seconds after Jun left. She began her way back to the apartment, enjoying the breeze and humming a song in her head.

Jieun entered the building, taking the elevator up and walking into her apartment. Only then did she find something strange. The usual SHINee music wasn't playing. Jieun thought it was weird it wasn't but didn't think much of it. He's probably out or sleeping or just not playing music right now. Stop overthinking. Jieun thought.

She continued her day, pushing her worrying thoughts to the back of her head. Soon the day ended and she slept, forgetting about her thoughts.

Jieun woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She sat up confused and reached over to her bedside table and picked the ringing phone up. She stared groggily at the screen, reading the caller ID and answering the call when she realised it was Soonyoung.

"H-hello? Soonyoung is that you?" she said, hearing nothing at first. Her voice was rough as she had just woken up.

"Jieun. I... missed... you... come... over..." Soonyoung spoke, slurring his words.

"What the hell- Soonyoung, it's 12 am right now. Are you drunk?"

"Nooooo... I'm sober..." Jieun sighed at his response.

"Forget I asked. I know you're drunk." she got out of her bed while holding the phone near her ear.

"Come over! I... miss... youuuu." 

Jieun rolled her eyes.

"Yes, you've said that before. I'm coming over, hold on." she walked out to Soonyoung's apartment and expected the door to be unlocked for her, so she tried opening it. "Soonyoung, do you mind opening the door for me?"

"Ohhh righttt..."

The door opened revealing Soonyoung. He leaned on the door, recognising Jieun and ran to hug her.

"JIEUNNNNN!"

She pushed him off of her, getting a whiff of alcohol.

"Yes, it's me. Come on, let's have you drink some water and get ready for bed." Soonyoung pouted.

"I don't want to."

"You know what, I'll make you more kimchi jjigae if you go to bed."

Soonyoung's eyes lit up at the mention of his favourite food.

"Really?"

"Yes, now get yourself some water."
