"AHHHH.... The weather is so good!" Youngbae stretched as we stepped out of the YG building. And shoved my hands into my jacket pocket and beamed, looking up at the clear blue sky. The autumn breeze brushed against my cheeks causing them to turn a rosy pink. The weather was so pleasant. Suddenly, i felt Youngbae's arm go around my shoulders as he put his arms down from stretching. "Pft...this trick got old..." I poked Youngbae's cheek as we walked towards the lunchplace. " Where are you bringing me for lunch?" I looked at Youngbae, who grinned mischeviously. "You'll see when we get there!" "Aish...it better be good!" I crossed my arms, giving Youngbae a fake death glare which made him jump."Y---Yes Ma'am!" He saluted before sneaking a poke at my side. "YAH! YOU! COME BACK HERE!" Youngbae ran and turned around, stickng his tongue out at me. That kid...After chasing Youngbae for what felt like forever, we reached a small chinese foodplace located near a market. "I used to come here in highschool...It was my favourite place to go to..." Youngbae smiled, reminiscing the past. "Ahjummoni! Annyeong!Its been so long!" Youngbae greeted a lady who looked to be in her late 50s."Annyeonhaseyo!" I bowed deeply. "Oh! Youngbae ah! Its really been so long! The compared to last time, you look so much mo---Ah...i shouldn't talk about this sort of things in front of your girlfriend huh...Sorry!"The lady giggled like a highschool girl, ushering as towards a table. "Ahjummoni, this is my wife-to-be, Rachel!She's pretty right?" "Yes! She looks like an angel!You both look so compatible!Like a match a made in heaven!" The lady gushed."AHJUMMONI~IM EMBARRASSED~"Youngbae's hands flew to his face as he pretended to blush, acting all cute. "Aigoo...Alright alright...I'll keep quiet ok?"The Lady patted Youngbae's head like he is a little kid, before going to the kitchen to prepare our lunch. "She knows what to make?" I asked a little suprised."Aish...didn't i just tell you that i came here all the time? She knows exactly what i like." Youngabe reached over the table to ruffle my already messy hair. I scrunched my nose up, sticking out my tongue at him. The restaurant was vintage style, with walls in the shade of mint green, with paint peeling here and there, as well as metal foldable chairs. The cashier has an ancient telephone that was white with gold rims. The shop was quiet and quaint, exactly how i like it. " How could you be so sure that i would love this place?" I asked Youngbae, raising an eyebrow. "Its like your personality... It may seem to be simple and unattractive at first, but if you look at the details, and if you spend enough time in this place, you will grow to like it..." Youngbae gazed at me, making me shift awkwardly in my seat. I froze. "Hang on...Let's rewind what you said just now...DID YOU JUST CALL NE UNATTRACTIVE?!" I boomed, eyes burning into Youngbae. A clatter could be heard from the kitchen and Ahjummoni's curly-haired head poked out from the kitchen. "Are you guys alright back there?"I immediately smiled, apologising to her and telling her that everything was fine. Youngbae just stared at me with his jaw hanging open, index finger pointing at me. "Wow...that change in expression...That scared me..." "You are SO getting it from me when we get home..." I seethed, looking angry on the outside, but feeling the exact opposite. Youngbae shut his mouth and cleared his throat, asking Ahjummoni if lunch was ready.
                          
After a satisfying meal of jajangmyeon, both of us started to walk to YG. The autumn trees were golden, leaves drifting down.As we walked, we could hear the satisfying crunch of leaves on the ground beneath our feet. Suddenly, warm fingers interlocked with my cold fingers. I looked at our hands,then looked up at Youngbae who just continued walking, pretending that nothing happened. He was smiling happily to himself, as though he just hit the jackpot or something. 
                          
The YG building was filled with people as there was a meeting that was going to be held by Mr Yang. Youngbae and i squeezed through the throng of people to get to the lift. "Rachel!!!" I spinned around, only to see Hye Rim waiting for the lift as well with someone next to her. "Hye rim ah! What are you doing here?!" I exclaimed, giving her a hug. "Whos that?" I whispered, pointing to a guy who's back was facing us."Oh that...haha..."Hye Rim blushed, rubbing her arm nervously. "GD?....NO WAY! U guys are DATING?!" Youngbae's eyes widened, pointing at the guy, who turned around sheepishly. It was the first time i saw GD being so nervous. "Hey...you did not have to shout...but yeah...we are..." GD scratched his head with his finger and smiled, bringing Hye Rim close to him. "Woah! How long has it been since you guys dated?" I winked at Hye Rim, giving her a small thumbs up. "You know...some time after the house warming...because SOMEONE got drunk again and confessed..." GD smirked at Hye Rim who punched him pretty hard on his shoulder. "OUCH!" GD's faced scrunched up in pain as he grabbed his shoulder. "OMG! Im so sorry! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Hye Rim immediately went to GD to check for any bruises or injuries. GD laughed, giving Hye Rim a reassuring hug. "Im fine" GD and Hye Rim look like the perfect couple, they looked so happy with each other around. By this time, the lift has arrived and we all bundled in together.I fiddled with the sleeve of my sweater as i thought, Its funny...am i jealous right now?... As in...i shouldn't be...but Hye Rim and GD are a REAL couple...they aren't in a variety show...they can be together for forever. But Youngbae and i...i can just imagine how at the end of filming the variety show, we'll just become friends
...no more...no less...
