Chapter Text
“Hey Seungmin! I’m here-”
“Hwang Hyunjin! I’ve been waiting for twenty minutes now! The waiter came and asked if I was ready to order my drink three times already!”
“Sorry, my pain in the ass brothers were holding me up.”
“Again...?”
“...Yes? Maybe?”
“Hyunjin.. how come when we’re just hanging out, you’re always on time, but when we’re studying together, you’re always late? I’m beginning to sense a pattern.”
“Sorry! I’ll pay for our drinks and snacks this time.”
“What? No! You paid last time too, don’t worry about it.”
“No, Seungmin, I’ve got it.”
“...”
“Hey.. quit pouting like that. You look wrinkly. Well, more than usual.”
“Apologize.”
“Sorry Seungmin...”
“That face won’t work on me. You’ve got to do better than that.”
“...”
“Still not good enough.”
“Well.. I brought you something.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah, it’s something I thought you might like. You know how I told you my brother is a writer?”
“How could I forget! That’s so cool- wait, didn’t you say his book just got published?”
“Why don’t you see for yourself~”
“No way! Aw, thank you so much Hyunjin. I can’t wait to read this!”
“Since I never got you a Christmas gift and you gave me those photos and everything... Minho read some of it to us and it kinda reminded me of you so.. y’know.. yeah.”
“Thank you Hyunjin. Really.”
“You’re welcome, it- it’s nothing.”
“...”
“Wh- why are you smiling at me like that Seungmin? Yah Kim Seungmin, snap out of it or the waiter won’t be able to take your order for the fourth time.”
“Who knew that gift-giving was the way to make the Hwang Hyunjin flustered?”
“Shut the hell up, before I decide I’m not paying anymore. And I’m not flustered!”
“Whatever you say...”
