"What do you want?"Kiari asked. Nonchalantly, He's not good at flexing his emotions.

" One bluebell Ice cream the raspberry fudge brownies," I announced happily and he nodded.

"I know you heard her, Make it two." He said darkly to the woman, and she immediately types our order frantically.  Kiari doesn't have manners.

"Here's your order!" She announced trying to smile.

"Thank you," I said kindly to the woman and Kiari just smirked.

We walked around the mall eating our eyes scream. I stopped and walked near the Blackpink billboard. OMG! they had their concert later in the convention. I'm a die-hard fan of them I really like Lisa.

"Done raping them?" He asked casually.

I just pout and walked leisurely.

I want to go to their concert badly, I wanna take a picture with black ink especially with Lisa.

We just continue wandering in the mall when gangsters people came running. It seems like they are in rush, some of them are holding a skateboard and holy sake they are skating inside the small is that allowed? that would be dangerous.

"Ouch!" I shouted when one of them bumped at me. That's a great impact!

"I'm sorry, I lost control." He said offering his hand. But kiari help me and place me in my foot. Kiari looked at him with death glare and he ghastly looked down.

"Uhm- it's okay," I said trying to sound like I was not hurting. The guys looked at me and I smile at him.

"You can go," I told him before Kiari will kill him. He just looked at me from head to toe. 

Holy crackers! My suit! Arrhhhgg Ice cream stain. And the other guy he with walked closer to us.

"Uhm I'm sorry." The guys said grabbing his handkerchief and wiped at my sweater shaking. Kiari yanked his hand and locking their eyes.

"You fucker—" Kiari said deeply. I removed his hand from the guys and pulled him away from that place. I looked at him, I know he's angry. 

His sweater has a stained too, And his shoes. That why his so angry with that guy. Good thing I bring tissue with me. I wiped his sweater, but he holds my hand And dragged me to the boutique.

"Choose." He demanded. I nodded and scanning on the sweater I like this black sweater and Kiari was scanning for him too. I grabbed the black sweater with earphones printed on it.

I walked to the bathroom and change my clothes, Kiari still choosing for his. When I go out Kiari was wearing the same sweater as mine. We look at each other and he smirked.

"You should have told me, you want a couple of sweaters." He said casually but I know he's teasing me deep inside.

"I should just change then," I said. And choose different colors.

"Let's go." He pulled. Heading to the counter.

"Wait, I haven't changed my clothes yet," I said trying to remove my hand from his.

"Tss." that's all he said and grabbed me out of the penshop store.

Now we're looked like a cliché couple. He intertwined our fingers, I twisted my mouth, this romantic feeling drives me nuts, I felt my face burning. He looked at me and smirked.

I just looked around my gazed and I saw some people running holding blackpink light stick.

I feel sad, I wanna go. But their concert ticket was costly. I just let Kiari dragged me everywhere since I don't have the mood to wander around. I want a blackpink.

We stopped outside the convention, I looked at Kiari he just smirked and holding up Blackpink tickets for me to see. I stunned, I was so happy I grabbed the tickets from his hand and gazed at it maybe I was just hallucinating of too much thinking about their concert but no. It's true too good to be true and now overwhelming happiness came flooding.

I hugged him, squeezing him tight.

"Thank you"I announce happily and hugging him in appreciation.

He groaned.

"My ribs might have broken," He said emotionless and I rolled my eyes.

I walked yanking him inside the convention and seat the back. But he pulled me up, heading to the VIP seats. I stunned and happily skipped to others. When the contest has begun they raised their lightstick, well I just clapped like an idiot since I don't have a lightstick.

Some had brought banners of Blackpink. I turned my gazed to Kiari he looked bored, he yawned and brushed his hair.

When the blackpink showed up, there are deafening shouting. I shout too BLACKPINK, I wanna cry their pretty.

I looked at kiari he's seemingly irritated, he was wearing his headphones. I didn't mind him. The black me sing Let's kill this love and when it almost hit the chorus kiari pulled me up and exited the convention.

"Hey, What's wrong?" I asked frowned.

"I hate the song." He said and yanking me out of the convention.

I was disappointed I hadn't taken photos of them yet. I wanna cry, I see them for 30 minutes and then this stupid cockroach hates the song and dragged me to the fancy restaurant but for what he did I lost my appetite. He orders unknown expensive dishes.

"Eat." He announced grueling and I hold my fork leisurely.

He looked at me, maybe she notices my nonchalant behavior.

"Selina." He said blankly. 

I looked at him casually and he sighed rolling his eyes.

"Eat." He said darkly and I just nodded trying to eat this unknown dished.

"I'm full," I said lowly and he nodded.

"let's go." He said and pulled me up and exited the restaurant. I let him dragged me to where he wants. We go back to the convention, and the lady looking on us smiling.

"This way Sir" The woman, said smiling kindly. Kiari was holding my hand while the woman leading us the way. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Selina" Kiari said, I shifted my gaze to him, he did a single nod. Signaled me to enter inside. The woman smiled at me and pointing the way. I looked at kiari, cufuffled.

"Get in." He said nonchalantly and I nodded.

And to my surprise, the blackpink waiting for me inside. They stood up when I enter the room, I was shy, I'm happy super! They greeted me, hugged me and asked random questions, we took pictures and they even include me on their blogs. Whaaaa! Kiari surprise me. I need to call him outside, I want to have a picture with him and the blackpink. I ran outside and grabbed him inside. 

The blackpink greeted him but to my surprise, he just smirked,

stuffing both hands in his pockets and sit on the couch. The blackpink was surprised by what he did. I just smile and approached them to make the situation better at ease. Kiari was sitting on the couch nonchalantly, I just rolled my eyes secretly. I walked over to him and smacked his thighs. He looked at me puzzled lifting his eyebrows.

"You're nuts," I said quietly mad. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Let's go?" He asked and stood up.

"Can we take pictures with them?"

I asked referring to the blackpink.

"No." He said firmly cold.

"Please." I try to be cute and flexing my puppy eyes. Imagine doing this stuff in front of the notorious killer? that was a matter of life and death.

"Selina." He said warning me.

"Kiarisa" I said the same.

"Can we?" I asked him one last time and he looked at me with a burning gaze. I looked at the blackpink they are eating snacks. When they looked at me I smile brightly.

"Fine." He said and I smile widely.

I pulled him over to them and we took pictures. But kiari didn't smile. But what do you expect he just looked blankly at the camera.

I'm so happy now, I'd be happier but kiari being no fun around. When we exited the convention, I hugged him for appreciation.

"Thank you Kiari," I said giggling.

"Welcome, Love." He said and my face turns red.

"By the way how did you know about this," I asked him furrowed referring to the blackpink.

"I just know." He said blankly, and pulled me closer, linking his arms around me. We're walking out of the mall when I saw, the restaurant we earlier.

I'm hungry, Opss my stomach growling and Kiari looked at me, He rolled his eyes again and sighed. I just smile at him and he pulled me entering the lavish restaurant. He ordered, and in just a span of minutes, our order came. I eat them all, while kiari, just seat nonchalantly opposite to mine. When I'm finished I burp and that attracts the people around me, But Kiari looked at them with death glare and they quickly looked away.

"Sorry," I said quietly covering my mouth, he smirked and stood up.

I stood up too and we walked outside. It's a dark evening when we got to the condo.

When we entered the room, I hugged him, the best hugged I could ever give.

"Thank you so much, Kiari," I said overwhelmed in appreciation. I felt him adjusting hugging me back. I smiled.

"Welcome." He said Peking my head."Your smile looks good on you." He said lowly deep. That sends goosebumps and burning heat to my face.

"I hope you should too," I said quietly, referring to the smile. But the didn't respond, I heard him sighed.
