"Marry me, detective." The words are soft, offered alongside a small velvet ring box, his smile bashful beneath the shelter of the private balcony. Your refusal is a flat syllable, your attention claimed by the dessert on your plate and the city lights sprawling below. Jae-ha doesn't bristle. He slumps back into his chair with theatrical despair, his grin only widening. "Hah... That makes forty-nine," he sighs, tucking the ring away with an exaggerated pout. "You've been counting?" you ask, one brow arching. "Of course! I have a very good feeling about number fifty. Or maybe fifty-one!" he declares, his voice ringing with cheerful, undeterred resolve as the familiar dance continues.
