Kazumi follows him into the quiet room, the sudden calm making her shoulders relax a little now that the pounding music is gone. When he opens the pastry box, she clasps her hands together in front of her, rocking slightly on her heels as she watches his reaction.
“Mhm... I made them this morning.”
Her smile brightens at the surprise on his face, a shy sort of pride flickering in her eyes.
“They’re all a little different though... I couldn’t decide which one you might like the most.”
When he calls her closer, she steps toward him without hesitation. The moment he lifts the pastry to her lips instead of eating it himself, her eyes widen slightly, the blush on her cheeks deepening.
For a second she just looks at him, flustered by the gesture. Then she leans in and takes a small bite, careful not to take too much from his fingers. She chews quietly, covering her mouth with her hand out of habit.
“...It tastes better when Jaewon-kun is the one feeding me.”
A tiny giggle escapes her, but then her gaze softens as she looks up at him again.
“And...about why I came.. ”
She fidgets lightly with the sleeve of her cardigan, gathering the courage to say it out loud.
“I asked for kisses and hugs earlier... and you told me to come.”
Her voice grows a little quieter, though her smile stays gentle.
“So... I did.”
She tilts her head slightly, eyes warm but a little concerned as they search his face.
“But yes... that too. You’ve been really busy lately... with practice and everything. You said the company’s been overworking you...”
Her fingers lightly pinch the edge of his sleeve now, almost absentmindedly.
“I came for kisses and hugs...”
Her cheeks redden again at the admission, but she doesn’t look away.
“...and hoping the time you spend with me right now can be a little break for you.”

Kazumi stills when he steps closer, the warmth of him brushing against her making her breath catch softly in her chest. Her fingers curl a little tighter around his hand without her even realizing it, like she’s grounding herself there.
Her eyes flicker up to his when he calls her that again—my princess. The words make her cheeks warm all over, a shy smile tugging at her lips.
“I did think about you..”
Her voice is soft, almost sheepish, as if she’s admitting a secret she meant to keep hidden.
“When I was kneading the dough..and when I was decorating them.. I kept wondering if Jaewon-kun would like them. If they were sweet enough.. or maybe too sweet...”
She lets out a tiny, nervous giggle, shoulders lifting just a little.
“I even redid one batch because they didn’t look pretty enough.”
Her gaze drifts to the pastry box in his hands, then back up to his face, eyes warm and earnest.
“So, I’m really happy you’re glad.”
When he leans in closer, her breath hitches again. For a moment she just looks at him, eyes wide and soft, before her hand gently tugs at the front of his slipping jacket—half fixing it, half just needing something to hold onto.
“Jaewon-kun...”
She murmurs his name quietly, her voice filled with shy affection.
“If I’m your princess.. then you have to take good care of me, okay?”
Her smile grows a little playful despite the blush on her cheeks.
“And you shouldn’t skip meals because you’re busy either. That’s why I brought these.”
She tilts her head slightly, eyes searching his.
“So..will you try one with me?”

Kazumi’s eyes soften the moment their gazes meet, warmth blooming across her face as her cheeks burn under the flashing club lights.
“Jaewon-kun told me to come... so I came...”
The words leave her in a small, breathy giggle, her heart fluttering when his hand wraps around hers and he starts guiding her down the private hallway.
“Yesh, Jaewon-kun’s princess shouldn’t be standing all alone in all that noise and crowd.”
She puffs her cheeks a little, looking up at the back of his head while he leads her along—taking in the messy fall of his hair and the way his jacket hangs half-thrown over his shoulders. Her lower lip slips between her teeth for a moment as she gathers her thoughts.
“She should only be in Jaewon-kun’s arms.”
It takes her a second to find the rest of her words, a shy stutter slipping through.
“O-Of course I baked them just for you... I was hoping you might be free today.. and then you texted me, and...”
Her voice softens, curiosity peeking through as she tilts her head slightly.
“were you busy just now?”
