"Look, Choi, I need you to-"
"Need me? Sounds kinda erotic." The taller boy chuckles, and your face scowls, turning a heavy shade of red.
"Huh? You're gross! As if I would EVER do anything trashy with you!" You cross your arms, feeling impatient. Jimin should be here any minute from his last class across campus so you can both go home together. This isn't gonna work, and you don't have any more time for this.
"You know what, never mind. I don't even know why I bothered to think of asking you. I should've asked Mark instead." You turn around, deciding to walk away from the situation. You'll take the L! You'll go to Seokjin's dumb brother's wedding by yourself like the loser you are while everyone else has dates.
"Hey, wait!" Yeonjun pulls your arm toward him, making you turn back around. "Alright. Fine, princess, I'm listening. What is it?" He looks at you, finally with sincerity in his eyes.
God, I guess if he actually wants to listen, then you'll say it. What could go wrong?
You tiptoe and lean in close to his ear, catching Yeonjun slightly off guard. "Okay. I need you to be my fake date to my friend's brother's wedding."
Yeonjun blinks repeated, processing the request. After realizing he was frozen, he immediately goes back to his usual expression and smirks. "Well, well, well. Looks like someone couldn't resist the charm of Choi Yeonjun after all."
You roll your eyes, "Hell no. Please, I'd rather dance with a cactus."
He raises an eyebrow, "You sure about that? Cacti can be quite prickly, you know."
You huff, "Just shut up and play along. I need you to act like a decent human being for one evening. You owe me anyways., remember?"
Yeonjun smirks again, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Decent human being? That's a stretch," he grins, clearly enjoying this. "But sure, why not? It's not every day someone gets to be in the presence of greatness."
You scoff, shaking your head, "Greatness? Please. Just don't embarrass me, okay?"
Yeonjun's grin widens, "No promises, sweetheart. But I'll do my best. After all, I owe you."
"Yeah, yeah. Just be ready to suffer through a night of pretending to like me," you retort with a wry smile.
"Oh, the sacrifices I make for you," he replies, sarcasm dripping from every word.
As you walk away, hoping to meet jimin halfway (where the hell is he?) you can't help but mutter under your breath, "This is gonna be a disaster."
Yeonjun's laughter follows you from a very short distance, "Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea."

hope it holds you like I do :)
While I’m on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you gettin’ on the L-train?
Last working day of the week for me, a day full of errands tomorrow, and a long weekend to spend with the fam. I used to have June all to myself but we've been celebrating a lot now for June cause the family's growing.
Desperately fighting the urge to procrastinate so I can start packing my things before my trips, with Niki keeping me company.x

La La Lost You
NIKI, 88rising - La La Lost You
How a lover left for New York.
The song tells of a story of a long-distance relationship or even a relationship that has ended with the other person leaving. The places that star in the song perfectly reflects the "place" the two lovers are in. The Narrator is in Los Angeles, and "You" left for New York.
The Narrator tells how You is in New York with its busy streets and chaotic scenery. Los Angeles on the other hand is the opposite, with the streets perfect for people with cars. While You switched the car for walking and taxis when You moved to NY.
But despite of the laid back description of LA in the song, the Narrator contrasts the so-called City of Angels with how the Narrator has demons staying faithful in the City of Angels.
The title of the song itself is a witty play on the saying that goes something like "lost in la la land". La la land is a term used to call LA, and it also means "being out of touch with reality". So the song is a callback to the phrase and also basically means "LA lost you"— (LA LA lost you, LA lost you) since "You" moved to New York from Los Angeles.
This goes back to how the two places also symbolize both persons. LA being the Narrator, and NY as "You".
La La Lost You
"while i'm on Sunset, are you on the subway? while i drive, are you gettin' on the L-train?"
"and you sold your car, now you walk for miles."
"and i hope you're happy, livin' life in taxis."
"all my demons have your smile in the city of angels."
"hope New York holds you, hope it holds you like i do. while my demons stay faithful in the city of angels."

Come Back...Be Here x La La Lost You
Taylor Swift x NIKI : song crossovers 02
Here, both songs go on about someone who is miles away, a long distance relationship. One similarity between the two is the place New York. Both CBBH and LLLY also talk about the lifestyle New York has.
So it's basically "You" leaving the narrator behind for New York. :(
Come Back...Be Here
"i gues you're in new york today, i don't wanna need you this way. come back be here, come back be here."
"taxi cabs and busy streets that never bring you back to me. i can't help but wish you took me with you."
La La Lost You
"hope new york holds you, hope it holds you like i do. while my demons stay faithful in the city of angels."
"and I hope you're happy, livin' life in taxis. but you'll always have me, you'll always have me."
