"Did you have fun with the movie?" She asked while they were agoing out of the cinema. He threw the popcorn but made sure that their cups are empty before throwing it.  "Yes! The journey was fun and the ending is quite good too." He replied as he recalled some of the scenes he liked. They talked for a few minutes until they realized they didn't know where they are going. "Okay! What should we do next? We've been roaming around the mall for quite a while already." Dara asked as she noticed that they're just roaming around. They stopped at some shops, and Dara wanted to buy something for Jiyong but he always denied it so she just gave up and sighed. Why won't he ever receive gifts from her? He even denied the complimentary clothes from their line when he modelled for them, but her friends was very persuasive so he eventually accepted them.  She wanted to ask him about that, but maybe Jiyong just doesn't like her enough to even receive things from her? That bitter thought entered her mind and just shook her head to erase everything, not knowing how wrong she is.  Jiyong eyed the watches as they passed by, and he can't help but admire them. He's always wanted to buy one for himself but ever since he received his first paycheck as a bodyguard, he had always sent majority of the money to his family so he didn't really had the chance to save up. He didn't need to see the prices to know that it will be expensive, so he just averted his eyes somewhere but that didn't skip Dara's eyes. "Do you want to go inside?" She offered, as she noticed how Jiyong kept staring at this store's watches. He was always going along with her earlier, and this is the first time that she saw Jiyong taking interest on something.  "Ah! No- No- I'm just- It's too-" Jiyong vehemently denied but can't really find the words since he also wanted to check out the watches inside. Dara just stared at him, noticing his hesitation but she just waited for his final decision.  "Actually... Can we just take a quick look inside?" Dara just smiled and nodded. She somewhat had an idea why he's hesitating but she's thinking of ways for him to accept her gift.  "Good Evening, are you looking for a couple watch?" The saleslady at the counter welcomed them with a big smile.  "No- we're just-" "Yes please. Can you show us some of your best selling designs?" Dara said as a joke, if they liked a design then they could buy it, but if Jiyong likes some other watch then Dara could just also buy some other watch or not.  "I would recommend these three pairs, many couples bought one of these three for the past month. I'm sure these will all look good on you both." The lady smiled at them, she can't really believe how a good looking couple could exist.  Jiyong's eyes did not escape the sleek and beautiful designs of the watches. These are undeniably the most beautiful watches in the whole store and he can't help but gape at them. But then again, reality came crashing down as he saw the price tags of each pair. And besides, why are they buying couple watches? When they are not even a couple?! Jiyong's brain is currently running full speed ahead and Dara just can't help but giggle at him.  'Why are we buying c-couple watches?" Jiyong finally whispered. He just can't understand the situation right now.  "You want one right?" He nodded, since he really can't deny it at this point.  "I want to buy one too." Dara also smiled.  "Then? Why couple watches? We're not a couple or something..." He slowly added. It doesn't need to be couple watches right? But his voice somehow lost strength as he spoke of the last sentence. Of course they are not a couple, they are just two people living under the same roof with a kid to take care of. Weird right? "Jiyong, it's much cheaper to buy couple watches than buying it individually. We can save a lot." Dara can't help but laugh at ger own excuse. It sounded too pathetic that she can't even hold back her smile. But as dense as he is, she's sure that Jiyong wouldn't even know her ulterior motives which is to actually have couple watches with him! She just smiled at him again, trying to drown the impending laugh that may come out.  "I understand but I don't have any ex-extra money with me right now. I don't want you to oay for everything, so maybe we could just come back for it another time?" He said, feeling slightly embarrassed. Jiyong didn't want Dara to spend more on him since she had given him everything he needed and even much more. He felt a little guilty staying at her house even more as time goes on, he knew that he shouldn't leech off of her more. "Don't worry okay? I'll pay for it right now and you could just pay for it in installments if you really want to. I'll even give you discounts okay?" She patted his head as she can't help but understand her feelings too, she should've known and understand his feelings more. She might come off too boastful earlier since she's always saying that she'll buy anything for him. No wonder he felt a little uncomfortable before.  'But I don't want to be a burden to you even more than this." He softly said. They were whispering since earlier and the saleslady can't help but just smile at them. She can't totally hear them since they moved to the side the moment they started talking, but she just can't help but notice how cute the couple looked like while arguing.  "Okay let's make a deal. We'll close our eyes, pick a number according to those designs, and if we pick the same one, we'll buy it right now. And if not, we'll come back next time okay?" Dara offered. She's not confident that she'll pick the same as him, but she knew for herself that she'll pick that one pair that really caught her eye.  Jiyong just nodded and smiled. He never knew that he'll be getting these kinds of deals in his life. They also do rock paper scissors a lot at home to designate their house chores and such.  Dara explained the rules to the saleslady and she just smiled along with their antics.  "Close your eyes and no cheating okay?" The both of them nodded.  "Raise your hands with the number of your choice at the count of three. 1...2...3!" The saleslady smiled inwardly as she saw their answers.  "You may now open your eyes."  "Ahh!" "Gahh!"  Dara and Jiyong both jumped in shock and joy as
