"H-Haha! I-I-knew you'll be here!" 

Yoona was startled by Jiyong's shout and before she could react, the latter had came into the room, taking the pair of shoes and hiding it behind his back. Inviting her here was absolutely an impromptu decision and hence he forgot to hide the shoes while she wasn't looking. Due to the recent inspiration block he was having, he simply left the shoes among the bottles of paint since normally, no one would be coming to his house. His mum does drop by to help clean up and to refill the side dishes in the fridge, but she knew better not to walk into this room. Simply because sometimes, this would become a 'warzone'. 

"What is it that you're hiding behind you?" Yoona, of course, caught that sneaky action. "I want to see!"

"A-Andwae!" Jiyong got even more flustered when Yoona started to jump and snatch that pair of shoes. 

He hugged it tight, ensuring that the design was not shown. 

"Is that for your girlfriend?" Yoona stopped fooling around and started to make things up. 

"Are you Dispatch?" Jiyong looked at her, giving her an incredulous look. "Like making things up." 

"Prove me wrong then," Yoona smirked.

"Goading won't work on me, Yoona-sshi, try harder," Jiyong chuckled at her lousy attempt and shook his head, proceeding to put the pair of shoes into the cupboard.

"Thought I could try," Yoona snorted. "Tsk, so secretive."

"Signed a non-disclosure agreement with Nike, can't say or reveal anything." Jiyong closed the cupboard behind him, proud that he managed to come up with some convincing reasoning within such a short span of time. "I'm already not earning much. You want me to spend more money, getting myself out of a lawsuit?" 

"Does getting you into a lawsuit mean you will stop being a designer and BIGBANG can finally make a comeback?" Yoona gave a playful grin. 

"Didn't know you're that evil at heart, Im Yoona," Jiyong scoffed, "and hello, we ARE making a comeback."

"Oh right! Coachella!" Yoona cheered. "Does that mean before that we'll have a new album!? Oh wait, it'll probably be a single and you guys will continue to jam with 'Bang Bang Bang' and 'Fantastic Baby'." 

"Yah yah, wh-what's with that scowl. We need those songs to be perfect before we can release," Jiyong was guilty but still defended himself. 

"Ahhh~ Time to go look at the famous 3 million USD painting!" Yoona walked out of the room, ignoring his excuse completely. 

"Ya-Yah! I'm saying the truth!" Jiyong shouted after her, closing the door of his creative room, letting out a silent heave of relief. 

At least that managed to steer her away from that Paranoise. 

✾✽✾✽✾✽

"You're collaborating with Nike again?" Yoona commented while she stared at the painting in front of her. "Ahhh... No wonder you can buy this millionaire nurse for 3 million dollars~" 

"Pretty sure you can afford if you're into art too," Jiyong shrugged. "Yeahs, in talks but nothing is in concrete. I'm just doing some conceptualisation, getting some inspiration." 

"And yet still so secretive?" Yoona hissed, still sour over the fact that he hid the pair of shoes from her. 

She thought she saw some familiar hangul characters that resembled her name, but before she could take a closer look, Jiyong had came barging in, taking the shoe away. If only she was a few minutes quicker, she would have known it all~

"Yes, still have to," Jiyong was amused by her reaction. "You'll get to see it when it's ready." 

"By then, it's not only seeing, it'll be having it. You're going to give us again right?" 

"I realise you're getting greedier each time I meet you," Jiyong complained, but his tone was full of adoration. 

"Live with it," Yoona shrugged her shoulders with nonchalance. "Alright, I've granted your wish, you had your ddeokbokki, so it's time for me to go~" 

"I'll send you home," Jiyong grabbed his car keys and coat, getting ready to head out as well.

"Please don't!" Yoona stopped him immediately. "I'll get a cab myself."

"I told you the security here is tight!" Jiyong rolled his eyes at her suspicious personality. "Stop fretting worrisome girl!"

"I know here is tight, but your vicinity might not be?" Yoona let out a toothy smile. "Thank you, I had a fun time today, though I have to say, if I fall ill, it'll totally be your fault. Who on earth plays water activities during winter?"

"That's what new experience is about," Jiyong smiled. "You're welcome, I had a nice meal too. Let's bet again someday." 

"Don't forget you still owe me a wish~" Yoona reminded. "Goodnight oppa." 

"Text me when you reach home."

"Yes yes worrisome guy~" Yoona laughed.

A month later. 

Kwon Jiyong: I'm bored. What are you doing?

Yoona was lazing around at home when her phone vibrated. She looked at the text and let out a smile, texting back immediately.

Same. Just lazing around at home. Can't be moving around much anyway. Is everything okay from your end? 

Kwon Jiyong: It's fine. We had been staying indoor most of the time anyway, but judging from the situation, I'm guessing Coachella might be postponed and looking at our progress now, I'm guessing even a new single is hard. 

I'm so sorry but I love you da gojitmalllll~ Looks like no new BIGBANG songs to jam to again sighhh... 

Kwon Jiyong: Yah, it's not lies! We were really working hard! Too bad for this sudden virus outbreak. I read the news and thought it sounded like Train to Busan, spreading way too quickly. Is everything fine for you?

Yeah, all good. Still safe, just bored~ 

Kwon Jiyong: Yah, remember a month ago I still owe you a wish? How about you wish for me to appear by your side now to cure your boredom? ㅋㅋㅋ

Yoona laughed at his reply.

"Who are you texting? Smiling so
