Jinki felt triumphant over the positive reception towards his compliments. His definition of happiness was living in the moment, thus making a dear friend happy was what brought him joy. “Expressing gratitude and accepting all the compliments might be a good start. Take the words to heart and live them out like you always have.” He gave a nod, coupled with an assertive smile. Surprise painted his visage at the playful offer that he be the leader of one of the staple girl groups in the industry. “Aigoo, I think I won’t be able to handle being surrounded by more than one stunningly gorgeous and amazing woman at a time. Besides, even if I was a girl, I think I won’t fit in the concept of After School. Instead, I’d end up looking like the literal definition of ‘After School’: Exhausted and stressed.” He chuckled with a shake of the head and wave of a hand. “Oh? You don’t notice? His good looks are that deceiving, I see…” He chuckled. “He’s the least mischievous, but he also has those tendencies when an opportunity is gift-wrapped for him. That only leaves me as the volunteer sole punching bag~” However, unbeknownst to Jinki, his members had already toned down the teasing towards their leader these days. “I’m sure a lot of people are hoping for it too. Though when it happens, your group would easily dominate an entire year.”
“Ah.” He blinked a few times. “Reverse psychology? Then…” His hand was in a flick-ready pose, his nonchalant expression making it a challenge for him to read. How he could look so bright to completely deadpan in the span of a single moment was almost like a mastered skill of his that should make him unpredictable and inscrutable. Behind his obscured expression, his intention was to pretend flicking her forehead, but let her experience the tension of getting one from him by acting serious. Maybe that could make Jinah actually think twice before asking that kind of favor from Jinki. He was already silent and waiting whether she would still go with it or show some hesitation.
He nodded. “That’s true. Most of my favorite books are written by those kinds of minds. I’m sure there are a handful of films like that as well. Is there a particular film like that’s stood out for you?” Jinki laughed as to the reason why Jinah wanted to be a villain. “If movies had to be realistic, guys would definitely die first. Recklessness, pride, honor, glory~ Fictional movies just made that somehow a trope. Well, at least for many moviegoers, it’s made a flow of a typical horror or thriller movie somehow easier to follow.”
As Jinki stated their orders to the young person in charge of the counter, he could notice an excited smile trying to break out. Perhaps she was a fan of one of them, or even both of their groups. The idol just smiled softly that made the other suddenly nervous; almost an adorable sight to watch as he minded her movements carefully. He didn’t want her tripping or dropping items over something like excitement.
And truth be told, this wasn’t his first time spending time with a member from After School. So, this almost felt familiar, but Jinah was definitely and absolutely different from Jungah. Thankfully, it seemed like his friendship with Jinah wasn’t going to be as blown up as the one he had with the former member of After School when the press was all over them in the past for just spending time together as friends.
And that entire duration of him musing over the past and present was enough for the person in front of him to call his attention as they handed him the tray of their finished drinks and pastries. He bowed his head in gratitude as he finally made his way back to the table he and Jinah shared, placing down her cup of latte and slice of cake first. “Here’s yours, Ma’am. On the house,” he spoke with a wink, chuckling as he sat down, placing his own orders in front of him.
♥▬ Though Jinah got compliments on the daily she couldn’t help but get shy over them especially when they came from collages and someone like Jinki himself. He was a truly aspiring man if only she could steal him as the leader of her group... what group there is anyways... “I don’t even know how to begin doing that without looking or sounding like a fool But I will take them and continue and do my best to earn them as well.” The way he speaks just left Jinah in awe he was really something to admire and she often wondered how she managed to befriend someone as amazing and unique as SHINee’s leader. The time spent with him she was surely going to absorb everything like a sponge and learn to better herself in the best way she could.
“Ah, oppa. Sweet as cotton candy you are. You’re just one of you and I don’t know how we would mange being around someone as handsome, we would all swoon for sure!” She giggled playfully. “Oh no! You would just have to be sent to a hot spring then! To be refreshed!” Nothing energizes you and brings you back to your senses like a good dip in natures hot water. “I would never have guessed! Really sounds like you got your hands fun, huh?” The way he speaks about his members really made Jinah miss hers. “You think? Ah, that would be something special! I’m not how we would do it with 4 members though... it just seems so bazaar you know?”
The minute his hand was in position she hand a nervous spark run through her, eyes squinting close and teeth clamping on her lower lip. As what felt like minuets pass by she realize he hasn’t done anything yet and causing her to peak her eyes back open to look at him. “Are... you teasing me?” Looks like he got what he wanted, she did show hesitation and a hint of being scared but she was ready for it and now... not so much anymore.
“Oh is that so? I could see it though.” Chuckling she thought for a moment. “Like... weird creative movies or?” She wasn’t quite sure what he was asking but still tried her best to answer. “Sucker Punch was a really weird movie... I still cant fully wrap my mind around that one.” Brows furrowed in thought about it. “Some yes, then theres the type like you that would use their smarts to get out of tricky situations! But I do get what you’re saying... you know, oppa, you could totally be a professor with your knowledge of things.” Her words were probably random but it was in her mind and she just blurted it out though it was not particularly related to their current conversation.
Waiting excitedly and patiently for their orders Jinah kept her gaze on the older male. For some reason he just felt so many years ahead of her though their ages and length in careers wasn’t that vastly different. The idol now model really held an admiration for him one can tell just by his back that he was a wise leader, a wise man in general. She couldn’t help but think who ever married him will come out lucky and their kids would probably be the next president. Thoughts were silly and it made the brunette chuckle out loud at how she even got off track in her thoughts. She really did have marriage on her mind these days... for some odd reason.
When he brought the food over she had licked her glossy lips and hands rubbing with eagerness. Jinah didn’t realize just how hungry she was until it was all laid in front of her and she was ready to dig in. “Oh why thank you very much!” Laughing some more she looked at him then back at the baked goods she reaching for her drink to take a sip, humming contently at it’s refreshing taste.
