TEMPTATION isn’t something new to this lifestyle of his. it’s the devil on his shoulder, a deterrent to his main goal, and a curse when he’s asked for one simple thing: the truth. inebriation is the devil his date’s shoulder bears and it’s why he can’t afford to leave her side, which makes hiding his name for the night hard to hide from jinah. anytime she looks at him or whisper-yells in his direction, he contemplates telling her but what could he say?
LOOKING at how she looks tonight, even her sweat glistening from the dancing they all partake in, he understands why her friend didn’t want to show up to this single. he should say an acquaintance because if he knew it was involving jinah, he would’ve thought twice about agreeing to tonight. she was only referred to as the hot girl his date’s ex has a crush on now. if you ask hyungsik, he’ll move onto the next girl quickly too and it’s not as if jinah would entertain a jerk like him who leaves a girlfriend for not dressing the way he wants.
JIHYE wears a dress too short for her, too short for the icy frost of the winter cold, and it shows whenever they have to step outside. she shivers and his protective nature kicks in. it takes great strength not to direct his frustration towards the ex.
BUT at the same time, he can’t deny: jinah is beautiful.
IT would be easy for any man to want her and he feels guilty for thinking it for one second when he has a job to do. hand cupping jihye’s cheek, he grins, gaze no longer straying as he bites his lip. she’s too drunk to remember this: behavior that crosses one of the thin lines he constantly wavers on but it’ll give her enough of a confidence boost and, when her cheeks flush, a brief stint of warmth too. he could pretend that jinah isn’t there and she’d forgive him, right? all because he had just one main rule from jihye: charm anyone and everyone but her.
