"E-Eh?" Yoona chuckled nervously. 

"O-Oh! N-Nothing! I'm just c-curious! You look a lot like S-SNSD's Yoona..." The waitress clarified immediately.

"H-Haha! I-I..." Yoona was getting flustered, being afraid that she'd be exposed. 

"Yeahs! Our circle of friends always say so too," Jiyong interrupted, faking a fake bariton. "We even told her to go audition under SM! She can act as Yoona's doppelganger." 

"She'll probably be able to get in!" The waitress joined in the fun, talking to Jiyong. "Pardon me, I was just star-struck and was thinking too much. For a moment, when you came in, I thought you looked like G-Dragon too! Haha!"

"Y-Yeahs! Haha! People always say he copies GD's style, trying to act like GD," Yoona used this chance to take a jab at him. "He's totally not like GD~" 

"How could GD and Yoona both appear in our café!" The waitress laughed and saw herself out. "Enjoy your meal~ Sorry for taking up your time with ridiculous questions."

"No worries~"

After ensuring that they're left alone and out of sight and hearing, the duo burst into laughters. 

"I'm offended." Jiyong cleaned away the mirth in his eyes, shaking his head. "Me copying GD?"

"Me acting as Yoona's doppelganger?" Yoona snorted. "I'm the REAL SNSD Yoona!" 

"I didn't see you being so bold just now?" Jiyong teased and started mimicking her. "E-Eh?"

"I-I wasn't acting like that!" Yoona could feel her cheeks heating up. "You nearly got exposed too!"

"I don't get how can I still look like GD with such simple dressing," Jiyong groaned. "I'm dressed in all black and have my face almost totally covered!"

"Precisely!" Yoona exclaimed. "I told you so. People can tell from one look that it's you by your fashion taste! There's a period of time when you dressed like a mummy everywhere you go! I don't even know how you can manage to see the road in front of you."

"Eh? You actually noticed my news?" Jiyong was amazed. 

"A-Ani! It's just that unnies and Seohyun always post your airport photos on our group chat," Yoona stuttered. "They're always in awe on how you can still walk without tripping despite covering yourself like that. Can you even breathe?" 

"I did not suffocate myself, miss. My mask is breathable," Jiyong jested. "Also, I take them out when the paparazzis are gone. They just happen to capture that image, can't blame me."

"Probably never going to understand your style," Yoona grunted. "Don't get me talking about the fashion where you stepped on the heels of your Vans shoes, wearing it like slippers." 

"Dara noona and Mino are wearing it like that too," Jiyong defended. "Man, I was just lazy to wear my shoes and decided to do that. How am I suppose to know that it'll become a trend?"

"Are you low-key flexing on how influential you are again?" Yoona laughed.

Jiyong shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "but you know, it's actually kind of comfortable once you start wearing them like that. You should give it a try."

"And let the paparazzis take photo of me, saying I look like a beggar?" Yoona scoffed. "It's okay. I think only YG artists and more specifically, G-Dragon, is able to pull off such style. How can you make such a lazy image become cool and swag?!" 

"Are you beginning to sing praises of me now?" Jiyong cocked a curious eyebrow. 

"I'm just stating the fact and reiterating what the media always say," Yoona was stubborn and refused to admit. "Don't be too cocky, GD-sshi."

"Is bringing you food the only occasion that let you call me oppa?" Jiyong frowned. "I brought you here, shouldn't I be called oppa?"

"I was the one that recommended this café?" Yoona propped her arms up on the table, resting her cheek on her palm as her head tilted slightly, staring at him innocently. 

Jiyong found his heart skipped a beat at this image in front of him. He composed himself within the next second, slicing a mouthful of cake with his fork and put it into , smiling in satisfaction, "see, I brought you food." 

Yoona could feel her cheeks flushing again as she realised she ate the food using the fork he just used and that his boyish smile...

It's charming. 

"The heater is too warm? Why is your face so red?" Jiyong asked, witnessing her face turning a shade redder.

"Y-Yeahs! Probably my sweater is too thick," Yoona fanned herself, trying to keep calm. 

"Do you need me to get them to turn down the heater?" Jiyong asked worriedly. 

"I-It's fine! I-I'll be fine after awhile!" Yoona decided to divert the topic away. "So, what are you guys up to this New Year's Eve?"

"Since all of you are swarmed with end year ceremonies, I'll probably be spending time with my family. Maybe we will gather at TOP hyung's house to enjoy his precious wine as well. He's a little more generous to share his wine collection during such occasions," Jiyong chuckled. 

"What?! How could you guysssss!" Yoona grimaced. "I love TOP oppa's wineeeee!" 

"Too bad. Duty calls, lady~" Jiyong chuckled. "At most I'll try to take a photo of the empty bottle for you?" 

"When are you guys gonna stop your break anyway," Yoona rolled her eyes at his mocking. "It's been months since you guys discharged."

"Ri is aiming to go into army by March, so before that, we're not going to do anything," Jiyong explained with a sigh. "That poor rascal, I just hope this thing can be settled for him by the end of February." 

"Yeahs, poor kid," Yoona sighed. "Even the media is giving him such a hard time. Whenever news about him is released, I get so afraid. I've to spam call him to ensure he would pick up my calls. I'm really afraid he'd end up like Jonghyun, Hara and Sulli..." 

Yoona's face fell as she recalled the unfortunate accidents about her peers. This industry... It's really getting increasingly toxic and scary. 

"I guess when it comes to YG and BIGBANG, Korea media would leap on the news immediately," Jiyong gave a weak smile. "We're used to it or more rather, we've resigned to fate. This is Korea, isn't it? All the netizens, all the keyboard warriors... I guess
