Simon pursed his lips and opened the message app, waiting for Derek to scan his QR code.
After scanning, Derek curled his lips into a smile and even complimented him, "Your profile picture is adorable, little bro."
Simon's face flushed even redder. Unsure how to respond, he quietly zipped up his jacket to cover half his face and shrank back into his seat.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and simply closed her eyes to nap.
Halfway through the ride, she really did fall asleep. Her head swayed gently with the motion of the car. Derek leaned on his hand, watching her lazily. The next second, as Bonnie's head suddenly tilted downward, Derek, clearly prepared, reached out just in time to catch her and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
He looked down at her, tucking a few stray strands of hair behind her ear, and softly stroked her cheek.
...
The car was quiet. Simon had a question to ask Bonnie, but when he turned his head, he was met with quite the scene.
