….

Mrs. Ahn was taking out the trash when she noticed Jina was entering the building, looking sad. 

"Jina!" she called out. Jina paused and turned around to see Mrs. Ahn approaching her.

"What happened? Why are you so glum?"

"Oh, nothing!" Jina lied. "I just had a rough day at work. Are you taking out the trash, Mrs. Ahn? Let me help you!"

"No no, I'm already done."

Jina smiled at her. She bit her lip a little before asking, "Is Doctor Ohm home yet?"

"The doctor? No. Why?"

"Nothing. I...I had to ask him about a case."

Jina was crestfallen and turned to walk into the building. Mrs. Ahn watched her leave and as soon as Jina was out of sight, she took out her phone to send a text.

"She's here," she wrote and pressed the send button. She smiled, her mission accomplished. 

Jina went straight into her apartment and changed into more comfortable clothes. She lay on her bed and sulked. Every few seconds, she was glancing at her phone in the hopes that Hobin would call but the idiot kept a distance from her all day.

He doesn't care, she realized. Our kiss meant nothing to him.

The thought made her very sad and she wanted to cry. Was he really playing with her all this time?

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. Jina staggered out of bed and opened the door only to see a very panicked Mrs. Ahn.

"Jina...the doctor…" she gasped. "He's in trouble!"

"What?" Jina exclaimed. "What happened?"

"He...uh...the roof...you've got to come!" 

Mrs. Ahn grabbed Jina's arm and pulled her towards the stairs which led to the roof. Jina ran with her, scared. Was Hobin alright? Was it his powers again?

She recalled what Siwan told her about Hobin's transformation on the night of Wang Taehee's execution. What if he was turning into that monster again? How was she going to stop him? Jina was now very scared and thinking the worst had happened. 

Jina barged through the roof's door.

"Hobin!" she shouted. 

At that very instant, several lights lit up, startling her. Behind her, the door to the roof was shut by Mrs. Ahn. The old woman left her on the roof, confusing her.

Jina looked around to realize that the entire roof was now decorated with golden fairy lights, illuminating it like a thousand shining stars. The ground was laid with a thick rug and on the open space, several mattresses and pillows were placed while a large LCD TV was kept on one side. A mini dinner table was set up amidst the blankets and pillows with a bucket full of cold beer.

"Missed me, Tinkerbell?"

The familiar voice made her turn around and she yelped. Hobin was casually sitting on the railing, smiling mischievously at her. Jina was glad to see him but she was also a little annoyed at him for being so distant all day. 

"No, I didn't!" She lied. 

"Liar. You called me several times over the day," he smirked.

"T-That was for a case…"

She trailed off as he walked towards her. He stopped in front of her, standing very close. His eyes gazed down at her, a smile curving his pretty lips. Jina was dazed as Hobin kept on looking at her with his dark eyes, not moving away from her. He raised his finger to move a strand of hair from her face, slightly touching her skin. She shivered under his cool touch, gulping nervously.

"Why were you avoiding me all day?" she mumbled. "I thought that...that…"

That you didn't care about me, she completed the sentence in her head.

"That I didn't care about you?" he asked, grinning like a devil. "I felt like annoying you today."

Jina pouted. "So you were irritating me on purpose?" She demanded. "After kissing me like that last night, you ghosted me simply to annoy me? You are such a-"

The rest of her sentence was shut by his lips. He swooped on her, kissing her again. Jina's eyes shot open in shock at the sudden but sweet attack. It was a brief and soft peck, enough to make her crazy. Before she could deepen the kiss, Hobin slowly backed away.

"Oi Tinkerbell, the only person I want to annoy is you," he whispered against her lips. "Whether it's in this lifetime or another, you're the only person I want to irritate. But you're the only person I'll return to. So don't ever think that I've run away because no matter what happens, I'll always return. To you. Got it?"

Jina was too distracted by the kiss to care about what he meant. She was frozen to her spot, her insides doing the conga.

Did this mean he liked her?

As if reading her mind, he pinched her cheek.

"Of course I like you, crazy woman!" he exclaimed. "Why else will I go through all this trouble for our first date? I even asked Mrs. Ahn to help me set all these up!"

"Date?"

Jina looked around once again. He set up a date for her? 

"You were doing this all day?" she realized in shock. "For me?"

"No, I did it for the Queen of England," Hobin said in a sarcastic manner. "She's coming over! Of course, you idiot! I did all this for you. I know that instead of fancy dinners and outdoor stuff, you prefer simple dates where you can watch a movie and simply talk."

"I do…" Jina said but she was a little confused. How did Hobin know that she liked indoor movie dates? She never told this to anyone except Shinho.

"Are you reading my memories?" She asked suspiciously.

To her surprise, he snickered. His Tinkerbell could be naive at times. 

Coz I am in those memories, silly, he thought. Aloud he winked and replied, "I don't need to read your memories to know what you like. I just know."

Before Jina could comprehend or even think of what he said, he picked her up in his arms, bridal style.

"W-What are you doing?" she gasped. 

"Taking you for our date," he shrugged.

"You never asked me out formally!"

"Kay. I like you. You like me. Let's date."

"That's not asking!"

"So? You don't wanna date me?" he asked.

"I do…"

"It's settled then. We're dating!"

Jina fumbled. She was now totally red in the face as he carried her around like a baby. Hobin gently lowered her on a mattress. Jina was about to scold him for not asking her out properly when he sat down and pulled her to his lap. She was now caged in his arms with her back to him.

"This feels much better," he whispered against her ear.

"H-Hey, you're too touchy!" she meekly protested. For some reason, whenever he was around, she turned into a shy bunny. His shamelessness made her blush even harder. 

"I'm touching my girlfriend," he shrugged. "It's fine."

"Don't touch me too much!" she warned. "I...I…"

"That's okay. We have the whole night ahead of us.I bet you'll be the one who'll tell me to touch you more."

Jina gaped at him. 

"Never!" she claimed. "I-I…"

She wanted to bury herself somewhere out of sheer embarrassment. Hobin smirked and turned on the TV.

"Let's see who loses control first," he teased her. Jina pouted.

Never! I'll never give in to him easily! She vowed.
