chocolate hues roll in slight arisen annoyance , but in truth it's more due to the situation itself that bothers her than him . after all , he's trying to help . lana gives him a nod , the smart key waggling in between her fingers that she raises for him to see . from then on she's silent , observing what he's doing in both awe & general curiosity considering she got no idea whatsoever on what's going on . the whole thing looks impossible to do , but then ... a surprise twist of events as they both hear the car unlock . “ wait , “ lips start to form a smile , but she's very much surprised . “ you're serious ? but — “ disbelief is evident on her features as she gasps , hands coming together . “ that actually worked ?? “ now she's smiling big , before picking up the gym bag from the ground . moving forward , free hand moves up to pat his cheek , pinching it . “ you're such a nice boy , kai ! who would've thought you had this in you , “ the dancer gives him a wink , tossing her gym bag in the back before motioning for him to get in too . “ get in , my prince , “ she's teasing him , but genuinely feels grateful for what he's done .

" oh, i'm sure it would, " he retorts with a light air of sarcasm as she mentions her brilliant mind. kai was never a person who took much interest in school, music and poetry his main interests. a lot of his spare time in his younger days spent learning to do what seemed like pretty useless shit. but along the way, he picked up some unorthodox tricks to keep up his sleeve. sometimes they came in handy. " smart key, right ? " he double checks. technology, whilst advance, could still be tricked at times. " alright, let's see, " words are spoken mostly to himself as he digs into his pocket, pulls out his wallet. locates an old card he no longer requires. isn't long before he's wedging it into the small gap between the handle and the frame. there's a few careful swipes up and down, with no result. it's then he begins to move it in a much faster motion, movements rapid. just when it seems like he may have to embarrassingly admit defeat, he hears the familiar sound as the door unlocks. a crooked grin spreads as he stands up, card still slotted between his fingers. " well, shit, turns out i'm not useless after all. my dad'll be so proud. guess this means my chariot awaits ? " though really, he doesn't mind walking home.

she's quick to give him a dirty look as his chuckles fill the air , flipping her blonde hair in a dramatic effect to look away from him . “ go away , “ it's a pathetic comeback but alas , she's in no mood . body starts to relax as she hears him walking over , the sound of his guitar touching the pavement causing her to turn her head back around just in time to catch him slipping off his hoodie . “ thank you , “ she accepts , but of course , knowing she'll probably freeze to death otherwise ( it's a far stretch , but still ) . “ my brilliant mind would keep me warm , “ lana comments , deciding to joke in a difficult situation other than to wallow in her self - pity for once . brows knit together slightly as she watches him observe the volvo , brow raising for a mere moment as he opens his mouth . “ it's a deal , “ the blonde's quick to agree to his terms , standing back up on her feet . “ but i don't see how when the key's broken , “

he’s on his way home from playing a gig when he spots her, amusement quick to tug at the corner of his mouth. he watches on until she notices, chuckle soon escaping. “ nice moves, houdini. i take it they don’t teach car-jacking 101 in dance class ? ” isn’t long before he’s walking over, places his guitar case down. he’s an asshole — or at least he acts like one most of the time, but he feels like a dick letting her go cold. “ here, ” he mumbles lowly, slipping off his hoodie before he hands it to her. “ can’t have the criminal mastermind freezing to death, can we ? ” kai crouches then, fiddles with the handle and peers at the lock, tries to figure out the best way to get inside with minimal damage. “ alright, if i get you in without breaking your window, you’re driving my ass home. deal ? ”
