The lingering light was obliterated by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the town. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. 

When the clock struck 7 pm everything was already planned.Sumin took care of everything including the place where we were going to have the "wonderful" dinner. Somehow I managed to convince Hanbin to come, based on his personality he will ask for something in return. Asking him for a favour wasn't the best thing I could do but I had no other option.
