@Choi Beomgyu you will them up? /laughs softly/ not gonna lie, I'd kinda love to see that
/takes your hand and gives you a thankful smile as I stand up with you/
no, it wasn't your fault, really...it's just really that I let myself get reminded too easily from basically anything and lately I have been quite a mess because of it, I'm surprised I was able to hold it off in front of you until now...!
/nods and chuckles softly/
yup~ but I'd also would have kicked your in high school and made you stay until you graduated but well, enough parents-talk!
@Choi Yeonjun Ditto, Yeonnie. Whoever is with you better treat you right or I will them up for you!
/chuckles a bit then it ceases when you ask to come over. Without hestation, I give a nod as I stood up, extending my hand to you/
Yeah, You're welcome to come over. If I made you feel vulnerable in any way, I do apologize. Sometimes my curiousity just leads to other being hurt and I don't realize it. But I'm happy to know you like being with me and you feel comfortable around me.
/rubs at my nape with my free hand/
Yeeeah.. Parents huh?
@Choi Beomgyu I'm sorry about that...but I'm glad you are trying it again even if it's just one more time, the guy you will be dating, will be so lucky I swear. Well, cuteless romantics are cute, I can't blame you. Besides, those thoughts are really nice, I totally understand you in that regard
/coos softly at your embarrassed chuckle and nods once again at your words/
Mhm, I guess it will be... /sighs softly and looks down/
would it be okay to maybe go to your place...? I really don't feel like being in public right now but I also don't wanna be alone either and I enjoy your company and ugh I hate being so emotional at the moment
/smiles softly again at you and claps a bit/
That would be so harsh but I did get that threat a lot, too...! And you did if after all, that's good!! Now you can completely focus on what makes you happy
@Choi Yeonjun Well after a few failed relationships, I quit dating. But I found myself recently lonely so I decided to give it a shot just one more time. Obviously, I'm still young but it would be nice come home to someone, sleep and wake up with that person. Call me a hopeless romantic, if you will.
/chuckles slightly embarassed then I noticed your expression shift again/
It'll be okay Yeonnie, whatever you're going through. I'm sorry it's such a rough patch for you but I do have hope that you'll be okay.
/gives you a victory smile to try and brighten you up/
I did graduate but the skin of my teeth. Mother threatened to kick me out if I didn't. Hahaha- ha.
@Choi Beomgyu Yeah that's true although I feel like...you also can't take too long when you like someone or they're gonns leave you
/scoffs and chews on my bottom lip/ even if they promise to wait and be patient
/tries not to let the hurt in my eyes show and smiles at you instead as I tilt my head in question/
So you're not in a rush but applied for a dating show? Although I'd get it, I applied only because my dad wanted me to finally not randomly around anymore and find someone serious to settle down with
/nods in understanding/
That's true! You don't need an education for your career but still good you followed through since it's nice to at least have graduated...mhm but now I wish I could have helped you in high school, I guess the people pleaser in me comes out again
@Choi Yeonjun There is no timeline when it comes to dating. It's more of, go at your own pace kind of deal. I'm sure you'd fine someone interested in you as much as you're interested in them. Me? I'm in no rush. It just nice to know what works out and what doesn't.
/watches the discarding of the cup/
Nah, It's cool. I got a good career of following my passion so I'm not dwelling on my education.
@Choi Beomgyu yup~ I will tease you of course but I would never judge you for being enthusiastic about something, that's not cool. besides, nerds are cute
/hums and finally throw away my cup as well/
I'm sorry about that...but yeah, I'm glad you were able to push through it anyways!
/nods and chuckles softly/
I bet they'd want that but I sure don't want to have my siblings witnessing me with a partner in my own apartment aside from sleepovers! but until I get a partner, it will take years anyways I bet
@Choi Yeonjun So you're saying I don't need to hide my two hundred anime figures, manga series and games and hours and hours of anime?
/chuckles, I'm joking of course, just thought I'd play along/
Yeah... I didn't like school so much. I got to many fights and I was having such a rough time at home. So, I didn't care about school at all.
/nods a few times/
That's a good goal to have but I'm sure your siblings would want to move with you. Or beg to stay over huh?
@Choi Beomgyu no, don't worry, I will only tease you a little bit for it when I see it~
/laughs softly as I still have that teasing grin on me/
mhm, you skipped school a lot, huh? it's really good we didn't go to the same high school then
I know but they soon have to learn to live without me, I mean I can't live forever at my parents' house, I'm 24!! and especially if I have a partner one day that I can trust....I'd really love to have an apartment with them
@Choi Yeonjun I should hide my manga and anime collection when you come in.
/laughs and laughs a bit more seeing you sulk/
Oh I see. My highschool didn't do anything like that. Or if they did, I wasn't playing attention or maybe I skipped. Oh no, your siblings would miss you so dearly if you did so. At least you're spending time with them while studying.
@Choi Beomgyu I don't hate on your nerdy self, it's cute how nerdy you are
/laughs softly but gasps dramatically at the pretend-kick and sulks in pretend/
that was during high school, university doesn't do things like that anymore. if I went on an exchange, it would have had to be for a semester and I couldn't do that to my siblings!
@Choi Yeonjun Hey hey hey don't hate on my nerdy self and Shibuya
/gently and very lightly tap at your leg pretending to kick/
But that's pretty cool that they did that. Was that during your college or was it during highschool?
@Choi Beomgyu thank you for understanding, Beomie...
/smiles slightly back as I play more with the cup/
Yeah usually but it was part of a school project? it was to diversify and get to know other cultures and that went on for two months in total. Oh those are nice places but of course the nerd goes to Shibuya~~~
/grins teasingly at you/
@Choi Yeonjun I understand that. Don't worry about it, kay?
/offers you a warm smile as I sit back into the chair/
That's pretty interesting. Usually exchange programs are like a semster or so.. right? Oh- I stayed around Shibuya and Akihabara. Hokkaido was really fun too. Oh there was one week was I was in Kyoto. Oh it's so beautiful there...
@Choi Beomgyu I mean maybe one day but especially in public it feels inappropriate and I don't wanna burden you with me...crying all over you in the worst case
/sighs softly but begins to smile at your question, nodding at it/
it was like...a weird exchange thing? it was for one and a half month so not really long but it was really fun~ I tried so much delicious food!! oh? where were you in Japan for vacation?
@Choi Yeonjun /nods understanding/
Well we don't have to think about it and we can change topics..
/eyes brighting
You were an exchange student in Japan? What was that like? I've only been there for vacation a couple times with a couple friends.
@Choi Beomgyu No, don't feel bad or anything, it's not your fault, I just...sometimes it just comes up in my mind, I try not to think about it too much...so I just tend to shove it to the back of my mind
/watches you toss it away and drinks up my boba as well but continue playing with it/
Was pretty nice but it's been a while, I've been there when I was 16 for an school exchange
@Choi Yeonjun /eyes soften to see you react in a way/
I'm sorry. You don't need to say anything or share anything you don't want too. My apologies for prying.
/tosses the plastic cup away in the nearby trash/
How was Japan? I've been there a few times.
@Choi Beomgyu mhm, if you say so, I'll believe you for now~ I need to drink more boba with you to confirm that tho
/pokes the boba by now with the straw when I'm not drinking, biting my lower lip thinking of if I should tell/
I shortly had to think of...my...last pair, he got special treatment as well and gave me lots of special treatment and ah, that...I shouldn't talk about it, it will bring the mood down
@Choi Yeonjun /purses my lips at you
It makes brains foggy and I'm sticking to it! Especially when it's so good~
/sips at it more, about half way full by now
What were you thinking about? May I ask?
@Choi Beomgyu don't think boba can make brains foggy, Beom-Beom~
/grins and drinks some more of the boba, chewing the tapioca/
I know, sorry just had to think of something
@Choi Yeonjun Yes! The mochis. My brain is foggy.. Probably from the boba.
/smiles to you, noticing the biting of the straw
There is nothing wrong with that, Yeonnie. Just means whoever is in your inner circle will get special Yeonjun treatment.
@Choi Beomgyu yeah, that's more like it
/bites more on the straw/
Will definitely do so, hanging out with you is fun! Yeah, I tried some when I was on a trip to Japan~ you mean the ice cream mochis? I have some at home actually~
@Choi Yeonjun Hmm... You're a people pleaser to those you truely love... no?
/tilts head to the side
Oh~ Have to take me to that place then. I do love matcha. Have you tried the matcha mochi? I'm so addicted to those. The Ice cream ones are good too.
@Choi Beomgyu oh? what kinda matcha drink? I know a place that does good matcha drinks!
/bites the straw, feeling quite caught and nods/
maybe? but also...not really? I'm a people pleaser but also really selfish if that somehow makes sense
@Choi Beomgyu Well let's say I'm good at taking care of others like I do a lot when it comes to the people I love and I adopted all of my siblings in my heart, so...~ but thank you for thinking it's admirable!
/drinks more of my boba and nods approvingly/
good~ although no don't get what I get, we should get different drinks so we can have the best of two worlds!!
