@❛ lalisa m。 [] k said i was gonna sleep but i'm awake again :clown:

Of course, Baekhyun knows the image resonating within the constraints of her mind, can even hear it in his own; he had seen the video after all, who hadn't? Lisa is strong, he knows her to be one of the most fiery headstrong women at the complex alone, and it peeved him to hear such things being said about her. He gnaws upon his lip to trap the sigh that threatens to leave his lips. "Ah. Don't overwork yourself, Lisa. Or strain yourself." That applied to her mentality as well. "I do work tomorrow, but it's a night shift. Nothing I love more than being up all night. Coffee's my best friend."

@❛ baekhyun b。 Her superior's rash words resonate in her head, a painful reminder that the young girl's admiration was only one-sided. It strikes at her heart like a dull sword, for she was the one who put in hours of effort just to earn recognition from her employer. How long has it been? Six? Seven months? She thought they built something more than their presupposed relationship as colleagues, but alas. The confessional was more than enough to show her that it was all an illusion. Used, she felt. And it stung. But she hides this with a smile, the most convincing one she could manage. "I'm sure. She's coming over to my place anyway. The city's too far to drive to when we only need to go over some documents. What about you? Do you have work tomorrow?"

[] whoops ignore that

@❛ lalisa m。 i am. but my actions depend on your behavior, lali. alongside his words he offers a tight smile and also another brush at her leg, slightly higher upon the column of her bare leg. her reaction eggs him on, and he finds himself pursing his lips to prevent a smile. though, her change in demeanor does not go unnoticed by him and he immediately takes note to steer away. are you sure you'll be able to go to work tomorrow? with me, staying the night anyway.

does it, now? i thought you were the one in charge, doctor. she quips with a light chuckle, leaning forward in her seat so that she may rest her elbows on the table's surface. carefully watching his movement, she lets out a small gasp at the subtle touch against her leg, to which she reacts by sitting upright and clearing . both stressful and nice. i'm not sure those are supposed to go in the same sentence. at once does her cheerful disposition dissipate when the latter mentions her boss' name, having yet to fully recover from the events that took place not too long ago. fine. i'm going back to work tomorrow.

maybe, maybe not. that depends on you. he leans back in his chair across from her, feigning casual as he inches his foot forward, brushing it against her bare skin. work is fine. one of the doctors is out for medical leave, so i get to do more work than usual. it's both stressful and nice. and you? how is working with ms. moon byulyi?

will you? she mirrors his actions, folding her menu and placing it right on top of his as she meets the jocund glint in his warm brown hues. anyway, how's work coming along? just a few weeks ago you told me that it's been...hard. has it gotten any easier? or at least more bearable?

oh, is that right? that's if i give it to you. he doesn't hold back a laugh at her jest, a coy smile simpering upon his tiers as he closes his menu, placing it flat upon the table in front of him. good choice. i'll just settle for the sushi.

i think i'll just get the udon instead. i'm going to have dessert later anyway. a coquettish grin curls upon her lips as she says this, scanning the menu once more in case she wanted to order something else.

his eyes look up from the menu to meet her's, nearly twinkling with excitement, and a chuckle leaves his lips. curry udon sounds like the way to go. i'll get a few rolls too.

oh my god or...curry udon. lifts her gaze to meet baekhyun's, her eyes coruscating with excitement

[] OOPS THIS WASN'T THE CHAT

what did he say? he asks as he peruses over the menu.

aw, thank you. she sits down on the chair the latter pulls out for her, scooting in her chair as her eyes gloss over the laminated menu.

[] aw

with quick feet he pulls a chair out for lisa before proceeding to his own seat.

she follows the waitress that lead them to their table.
