to be honest, ara hadn’t expected him to agree on the outfit she’d chosen for him to wear. the look he’d given her, she’s not even sure if he truly had agreed on it, but to her surprise he’d actually put it on. as she’d predicted, he looked good. she’d chosen it simply because she’d been curious as to whether he’d be able to rock this kind of outfit (and her answer: a solid yes), but if he’d asked, she’d tell him that he doesn’t actually need a mesh shirt in order to catch anyone’s attention. who ever needs a flashy attire, being classically handsome? besides, his grandfather suits had a strange kind of charm, too.
still, she has to give herself a pat on the back for it. especially the color; this midnight blue looked amazing on him, and it just happened to be a shade of her favorite color. she’s still admiring it when another couple gracelessly stumbles into them, clearly having too much fun to watch where they’re going. everyone’s dancing so near to each other, it’s no surprise. because of it, she’s pushed further into jinho’s arms, ending up pressed close against him. it doesn’t particularly bother her; ara doesn’t make any attempts to step back again.
“oh, not only handsome. you’re charming too,” she’s still as playful as ever, but there’s no denying the way her eyes crinkled in delight as she smiled because of his flattery. she loves compliment, of this she’s sure he’s aware. she continuously pesters him for praise at work, after all. he never fails to entertain her. his answer briefly makes her wonder what he’s been up to, curious how his night has been. “but a liar. i’m sure you’ve been in the company of many beautiful women tonight, as you deserve to be.” even when acting like a stranger, her soft spot for him is clear.
a couple bumps into them and when he senses ara’s stumbling into him, she’s pressed so close to him her breath sweet, mixing with the perfume she wore and a hint of just something else hits his lips. he smiles sheepishly sure he can feel his own cheeks painted with a blush. it wasn’t that he wasn’t used to compliments even from ara it was in her nature to always be forefront with her sincerity and even he had found her charm irresistible, unable to keep from smiling whenever he was around her. he truly was lucky. his hands rest lower on her hips keeping her close to him.
jinho’s gaze on her he loves how her eyes crinkle in mirth, and he chuckles lightly when she calls him out for having spent his time with other women at this party. he shakes his head lightly, he is doing his best to forget his disastrous meeting with jinri and her father, being with ara it made him forget about how the evening had started on a sour note. “the woman most worth my time, is doing me the honor in gracing me with her presence.” he replies with a smirk, in a manner he knew ara would have responded to him in. she had rubbed off on him in more ways than one, and he would say it was for the better.
“how about you, i’m sure men have been throwing themselves at the chance to be near you?” he wouldn’t blame them, ara is wonderful. beautiful, charming, intelligent, how had he been so lucky to be in her embrace.
