"Baby~" 

Yoona was flipping the magazine casually when Jiyong emerged from the bathroom, wearing her oversized shirt and his own shorts. 

"What are you doing?" Yoona chuckled in amusement. 

Jiyong was leaning against the doorframe, biting his lips. Even though her oversized shirt fit him just nice, he had purposely tilted it to one side, baring one of his shoulders.

"Well~~~ Since I came here in a rush, I didn't get to prepare any gift nor surprise to cheer you up," he walked towards her and kicked his legs up, flitting his eyelids at her. "I thought this would be a perfect gift!" 

"Are you sure it's a gift and not a scare?" Yoona tried to suppress her laughters, putting on a poker face as she raised her brows. "What's this gift? A drag queen performance?" 

"I was thinking more of a striptease," he breathed into her ears and purposely pulled down the shirt even more, showing more than half of his shoulders. 

"Yah Kwon Jiyong!" Yoona giggled, giving him a playful hit on his chest. "Stop it! My Dior shirt is expensive!"

"Finally someone knows how to laugh?" Jiyong let out a gentle smile as he wore the shirt in proper, getting onto the bed with a snort. "I let down my pride to make you laugh and all you care about is the price of your Dior shirt. I swear I'll damage and replace it with Chanel."

"How is it that you can always make me laugh and feel so much better, Kwon Jiyong," Yoona snuggled against him, wrapping her arms around his waist as she rested her cheek on his chest, letting out a sigh. 
 

"Really? I thought just a few months ago, I was the one that always gets on your nerves," Jiyong rubbed her arm and replied. "Women sure change fast~"

Yoona did not argue back and they sunk into a comfortable silence. Yoona was contented in listening to Jiyong's steady heartbeat while the latter was satisfied in having his arms around her, taking in her sweet scent.

Until moments later.

"You sure you don't want to watch the striptease?" Jiyong spoke up. "I learnt a few pointers from Ri previously you know." 

"No striptease," Yoona answered sleepily.

...

"How about you perform instead then? You'd probably be better than me," Jiyong tried again after a few minutes. 

"No striptease from any of us and don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Yoona finally looked up and gave him a glare. 

Jiyong raised his arms up in defeat, making an action of zipping his lips. Yoona nodded in satisfaction, retreating back to her former position. 

...

"You kn-"

"One more word and you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight, Kwon Jiyong," Yoona threatened, stifling a yawn. 

... 

Yoona 1 - Jiyong 0.

...

"Arghhh! You Kwon Jiyong!" Yoona groaned after some prolonged silence. 

"I didn't say anything!" 

"Why do you ALWAYS have the ability to unleash the wild side of me," Yoona pinned him down on the bed, rolling her eyes. "Still, no striptease and keep your volume down! There's almost close to zero soundproofing here." 

Jiyong let out a bright grin, mirroring a kid getting his favourite toy. He wrapped his hands around her waist, letting her rest on top of him as he whispered huskily into her ears, "I think you're always the one screaming though." 

Yoona shot another glare at him, intending to be angry but failed miserably as she caught sight of his fake innocent face. She eventually broke into laughters as Jiyong took the lead, rolling them over, with him towering over her so effortlessly.

...

Let's make the score opposite. 

✾✽✾✽✾✽

By the time the two woke up, the house was long empty. Hyori had set off to Seoul in wee hours, with Sangsoon tagging along, acting as a source of support. With Yoona around, of course meals wouldn't be a problem. There were abundance of ingredients left in the house, allowing her to cook. 

"I like how you're the one that's supposed to come here to take care of me, but instead, I ended up being the one to bring you joy and had to cook for you even," Yoona said sarcastically as they sat at the dining table, eating their first meal of the day.

"I'm positive that yesterday night, you're the one that initiated. I didn't suggest anything," Jiyong was enjoying the food, "but okay. If you insist, then uhm... Shall I reward you?"

"Y-You ert!" Looking at his smug face, Yoona could feel heat rising up to her cheeks, images of last night flashing across her mind.

"Who's the one that's a ert?" Jiyong laughed, shaking his head. "I was thinking of buying you a gift! How's buying a gift, ert? Im Yoona~ Looks like you aren't that goddess after all huh." 

"T-That's cause I'm thinking from your point of view!" Yoona stuttered, changing the topic before she had an utter defeat. "So what are we doing today?"

"It's already almost noon. Let's go do some shopping first. I need to buy some clothes," Jiyong answered, deciding that further teases would cost him a good night sleep on the bed. 

"We're only staying for a few days and you want to get more clothes? Just wear mine!" Yoona complained. "It's not like you can't fit in mine. You can and certainly will pull it off nicely anyway."

"Stop emphasizing on the fact that I am almost the same size as you," Jiyong grumbled before breaking into a cheeky smile. "Then again, if you really have to, you can think of it this way. I'm buying clothes that both of us can wear, so it's cost-saving."

Yoona admitted defeat, "thereafter?"

"Let's just roam around and stop whenever we feel like it. How about that? That's the whole point of resting right?" 

Yoona pondered for a moment before breaking into a smile, "let's go then." 

✾✽✾✽✾✽

It was perfect. They took the car that Sangsoon and Hyori left behind, roaming around like what Jiyong suggested. They did stop by Jiyong's favourite clothing store to take a look and ended up not buying anything. Jiyong didn't see anything to his liking and preferred to wear his full set of PEACEMINUSONE outfit. Due to the pandemic, there were not much people roaming around in the streets and with the fact that they had concealed themselves well, the couple was able to explore Jeju at ease. 

"Eh? Omo! Didn't unnie said this is closed down already?!" 

Jiyong brought Yoona to Jeju Shinhwa world and when they were on a higher ground, Yoona was able to see the scenery; it was magnificent. At at closer look, she could easily spot a building that was shaped like PEACEMINUSONE logo. 

"Yeahs, but no one has taken over yet, so everything is still intact for now," Jiyong was happy to see her being so excited. 

"Can we go in to take a look?" Yoona looked at him, eyes glinted with excitement. 

"Your wish is my command mam~" Jiyong laughed, jingling the keys in front of her. 

"Yessssss!" Yoona cheered, wrapping her arm around his as they made their way to the café.

The crowd in the theme park was sparse, let alone the café. Since it was permanently shut down, no one would expect to see anyone in here, not to mention idols. Jiyong let themselves in with his keys and Yoona began exploring on her own. 

"Unnie is right. You should focus on making music and stop doing business," Yoona commented as she went around, touching and snapping photos of different ornaments. "How you make such a cool café close down is a phenomenon. It's like how you managed to create fire hazards out of making nutella cookies." 

"Yah. I only helped with the design and concept, I didn't exactly run the business," Jiyong defended himself, coming forward and hugged her from behind. "Besides, if it isn't closed, you probably won't be able to have such exclusive tour." 

"This café was called 'Untitled, 2017' right? Is this how it's going to go down? You naming everything 'untitled'. Your song and even your café. So BIGBANG's next album will be called 'Untitled' too? Effort zero in naming." 

"This is call art, woman. You don't understand," Jiyong grunted.

"Pfttt. Not gonna make me a cup of coffee?" Yoona teased. "I think guys are especially y if they know how to make a nice cup of cuppa." 

"Before we started dating, I didn't see you have that many standards set for your boyfriend?" Jiyong arched his brows. "Are you going to tell me next that Lee Seunggi actually has a pair of wings on his back?" 

"He was thissssss close to getting one," Yoona joked, putting her index finger and thumb close to each other, trying to annoy him. 

"Im Yoona, are you for real? Is this how you treat the guy who flew all the way to Jeju, taking the risk of being criticized by the public for flying during the pandemic, just so that he can be here for you?" Jiyong pouted in dismay. 

"Awww. Don't be angry! Do you remember what you said yesterday night?" Yoona pacified and pinched his cheeks affectionately. "Likewise, I think you're very adorable when you're jealous too, Jiyong-sshi~" 

"You're going to be the death of me someday," Jiyong rolled his eyes in response.

"I think you always say this when we're making love already..." Yoona muttered under her breath. 

"Mwuh?"

"N-Nothing!" Yoona smiled. "So, no coffee?" 

"No, not gonna risk making you a cup of coffee with beans that might have expired," Jiyong took her hand into his. "I've a better thing to show you." 

"Oh?"

They left the café and Jiyong brought her to another secluded place. It was a small cabin and there was a nice coffee table outside which could fit two. 

"Omo... It's so beautiful..." Yoona was mesmerized. 

"Remember how I always talk about Monsant having beautiful sunsets?" Jiyong asked. "Wait till you see here." 

They made their way to the coffee table, killing time by chit-chatting as they waited for the sunset. 

"I realise this is our first official outdoor date," Yoona let out a bitter chuckle. "After we got together, the pandemic striked and since we decided to stay underground, our dates are usually at home or at the very most, a quick trip to the plant store or supermarket. I guess it has to take a scandal to finally get us out here to catch a breather?"

"This is why I always tell you to start living for yourself," Jiyong sighed, ruffling her hair. "Don't be so hard on yourself, Yoong. Take a chill pill, stop setting standards for yourself." 

"How's everything with Gaho? Has it bee
