“Seriously, J? Pasta? Again? Don’t you get tired of this?” He looked at me disapprovingly. “You didn’t even pick a different pasta house. Jeni, don’t think about the price, I’ll pay for it.”

“Let me guess, you’re gonna get the Pesto one again.” He said. I grinned at him. He rolled his eyes but ordered it anyways. “So… what now?” Jaebum asked.
