Work Text:
You have a platonic crush on that guy for months now. You were sure these feelings would never come again, but here you are, already giggling and daydreaming about seeing your friend again when you barely stepped inside the house after hanging out with him for hours.
Ting
-> Are you home yet?
Your heart melted into puddle just from four words, cause they came from his: your new friend, aka the most lovable guy in this world!
=> Literally just got inside. Wait a sec I'll pay back the dinner.
-> Don't worry. Just see it as my treat!
You frowned. Your new friend has been nothing but generous with his money, but mama had raised you to not take everything for granted and always reciprocate people's goodwill. He had spoiled you many times before, what's so difficult to accept compensation sometimes? If anything, he's the one that needs to be more careful about spending. Man lives in rent and his family's far away in different city, one emergency is all it takes to turn his life upside down.
=> Please... Can you just take it? I feel bad using yours all the time T.T
=> We're both just students but you even live alone. You need to be careful with your wallet. What if something suddenly happens?
You are dead set on repaying at all cost. From now on you have to draw clear boundaries with the cash, not just for his sake but also for the relationship between you two. You are not foreign to the stories of friends falling out over monetary disputes.
-> Oh so you worry about me? Y/N did you just confess you care about me???
-> I'm so happy Y/N! Thank you that's all I need to hear!
You groaned. Can he be serious for a moment? Money shouldn't be something to nonchalant with yet he acts like he's gonna inherit generational wealth. Maybe generous isn't the right word for your friend, dude is straight up irresponsible.
-> But I get what you mean. I'm just happy that my darling is so thoughtful about me >u<
-> So if you insist on returning favor... How about doing it yourself?
=> What do you think I'm doing?
-> No I mean it literally. Come meet me at my apartment next night. No need to bring anything else, I ask for you and you only.
-> Trust that I'll collect my investment payment in full... Looking forward to seeing you darling ♡
