@Kang Daesung Oh, really? Do you mind if I see it when you’re done? Even if it’s just a picture?
-feels happy to know that you’ve found something to do in your free time, especially something that you’ve been wanting to do for a while-
You had things to do and you told me beforehand so I wasn’t hurt. I’ll admit I’ve been lonely but I’m not hurt. I’m glad that everything is okay now though.
-smiles widely and warmly, giving you a firm, reassuring nod-
Well, I’m around whenever you want. Things have been getting a bit busy on my end but I think things will be slowing down for a bit soon, even if it’s just for a little while but, regardless, I’d be more than happy to make time for you.
-feels quite giddy inside knowing that you missed me, too, just genuinely happy with the fact-
Me either. Hm, what’s something you think we should try next?
-looks at curiously and then shakes my head slowly, clicking my tongue as I bite back a grin-
Shame. For shame. I’m sure she’ll get better soon with your magic touch.
@Lee Jinki *I return your smile and play with the bear in my hands, giving him a squeeze*
That's some really good advice... Sometimes it is nice to spend the day at home, right now I'm building a replica of the death star in lego, it's been really fun since I didn't have the time to do it before.
*I look at you with a frown, really hoping you mean it*
You needed this too? I hope... you're not hurt that I left for a while. But I had to be there for a friend so I left really fast. Everything is okay though...
*I nod eagerly*
It would be nice to see you more often. And thank you. I did miss you.
*I feel shy after thanking you again but I can't help myself, you're so gentle and sweet it's nice to be around a more mature energy*
Great, I can't wait.
*I lean more into you with a chuckle*
Her twin got poorly when I left... So I'm taking care of her again, I hope she gets better.
@Kang Daesung -takes a deep breath and then nods slowly, giving you a genuine smile-
That's understandable. I'm sure it's scary, too, but... Maybe it's a good time not to really plan anything. Just kind of take it easy and look at the things you'd like to do, things that just generally make you happy, even the little things. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
-nods and easily keeps my smile, looking at you a bit concerned but just glad that your aura seems a bit brighter now-
I think I might have, too. So, it's a win-win.
-stays leaning into you some, an arm around your middle-
Well, welcome back. It has been a while so it's definitely nice to have you back. Hm? I can? Are you sure?
-looks at you, my hands falling to my lap, my gaze gentle and warm though as I keep it on you-
Nothing to thank me for but, yes, I think we should. You know, after this one.
-smiles wider and then blinks a few times, chuckling-
Very well. I think I can say I've been doing a good job. How's her twin~?
@Lee Jinki Hm, it's just a difficult time in my life right now but I think you understand... My future was always so clear ahead of me as a singer but now, it doesn't feel that way. I'm unsure of what's ahead, that's all.
*I blush from the thought and start to feel more confident again*
No, no, thank you. I really needed this...
*I can't stop smiling as I rub your back, it feels good and safe/
It's been a while hasn't it? I had to head back to Seoul for work but I'm back now, you're always welcome to stop by my cabin anytime.
*I gently release the hug and pat your thigh*
Thanks for coming, maybe we could go on another date sometime?
*I laugh with a shake of my head*
Well, we're on now really. But, I was rude and didn't ask, how is our child doing?
(I'm getting better thank you, but I have a hand injury so my replies are slow ;;)
@Kang Daesung I may not have to but I would love to remind you of how awesome you are. If you ever want to talk about anything, I’m all ears, okay?
-nods and hums softly, happy to see you smile-
Awesome. Thank you!
-smiles wider, watching you a bit nervously as you check your present, sighing in relief as you hug, feeling a giant weight off my shoulders-
Of course. A-Ah, I do. I’m glad then.
-smiles shyly as I hug you back, liking the feel of your warmth and strength-
I’m really glad you like it. It’s so nice to see you again. Thanks for agreeing to meet up with me.
@Lee Jinki Aww... You don't have to do that, but I appreciate the sentiment.
*When I see your smile I can't help but smile too, it's difficult to be sad around you and I like that. You're gentle and that's something I need right now*
No trouble at all, I'll get us a pot in a second.
*I smile warmly, feeling touched that you'd prepared a present for me. This is the perfect way to cheer me up and I peer into the bag, my smile only growing wider*
Jinki, this is adorable, thank you...
*I look emotional as I lift the teddy out of the bag and cuddle it close to my chest*
You make me smile too. I love it.
*I sit the teddy between us but reach across it to give you a warm hug, squeezing you gently in my muscular arms*
@Kang Daesung Well, I'm glad I'm here to help then. I'll remind you of what a great person you are.
-nods firmly, giving you another wide smile, even as you squeeze my hand, thumb rubbing over your knuckles-
If it's not too much, I'd really like some tea.
-walks inside with you and gets settled with you, shaking my head and smiling widely-
This is perfect.
-takes a deep breath and holds out the bag to you with the gift inside-
We can order in a minute but, even though it's late and all, this is for you.
@Lee Jinki Ah, I'm sorry... My confidence has been quite low recently, I just assume the worst then I can't be disappointed...
*rubs at my neck nervously*
Well, this is a great gift all the same.
*perks up with a smile and gives your hand a soft squeeze, finally meeting your eyes*
Sure, that's more than okay. Could I get you something? Tea, coffee, or milkshake?
*gently guides you into the cafe and chooses a cute corner booth that's comfortable to sit on*
Is this okay or would you prefer a counter spot?
@Kang Daesung -looks at you curiously, both brows raising-
Hm? Why wouldn't I come?
-huffs a little at just the thought, especially since I asked if you were free, but smiles all the same, not giving you the gift bag just yet, though clutching it tighter when I spot you looking at it. quickly shakes my head, smiling warmly-
Now, I wouldn't do that.
-shakes my head again, placing my hand in yours instead of the bag-
Why don't we head inside and take a seat? I'll give it to you once we get comfy. Is that okay?
@Lee Jinki *my face lights up when I see you and I smile warmly, slipping my phone away in my shirt pocket*
Hey Jinki, you made it. I almost thought you weren't coming.
*I look over your appearance and a slight blush dusts my cheeks at the present in your hand*
Aww, I hope you didn't have to buy this on your way over.
*I tease you playfully and hold my hand out for the bag*
But thank you, you're sweet.
@Kang Daesung -looks around for the café, not even surprised that I've managed to get myself seemingly lost for the past few minutes, having made a wrong turn at one point and having gone into the wrong place at another, rubbing my nape in embarrassment, slightly flustered, though the feeling grows more when I spot you from a distance, feeling maybe a little too casual in my light tan short-sleeved tee and light colored jeans but definitely feels comfortable all the same. clutches at the little, well, seemingly little gift bag in my hand as I walk up to you, working to calm my own nerves as I inhale slowly and manage to speak in a steady tone-
D-Dae... Daesung, hi. Happy belated birthday!
@Lee Jinki *paces around by the entrance, waiting for you to show up. I'm dressed in a smart casual shirt and jeans with my phone in my hand, reading over your last message and nervously carding a hand through my hair*
He walks beside the other male, glancing around the room and noticing little small details before he were to focus on ordering.
A hum slips out till he glances over at Sungchan.
"so, what would you like to have?"
@Chae Hyungwon Sungchan smiles yet again, all hyped up on hopefully making a friendship with the man.
He simply understands it anyway without much words to be said and he follows the male as he lead the direction towards the café, his face brightens up once they finally arrived to the destination since the front of the café looks so cozy already. He softly speaks in response to his amicable Hyung and gets inside the café.
"Thank you, Hyeong.~"
He scans his gaze around the room, finding the warm ambiance of the café very pleasing in sight and some RnB music playing in the background with much fascination.
@Jung Sungchan He smiles when the other seem understanding and that he wasn't judging his character or who he was.
He murmurs a quiet thank you, probably one that couldn't be heard. Once they reached the door to the cafe, Hyungwon reaches out to open it for the other, smiling softly.
"Youngsters first~"
@Chae Hyungwon `Sungchan nods in simply understanding and softly smiles, not judging the older man at all for wanting to have most of his own time.
"That's totally okay, Hyeong! I mean, not everyone has the the energy to be around people all the time and it's good to spend a quality time for yourself especially if you have busy schedules after all."
`He looks over at him with a grin in excitement as he's pretty much hyped in making the latter as his hopefully new friend around and he begins to walk by the other's side towards the nearby café.
I'm still kind of nervous but I believe I'll just be fine since I got Hyeong as a company and to befriend. Leggo, have some fun~"
@Lim Jaebeom Been distracted and just humming a melody as I wait, only to hear a familiar voice so when I turn around my face lights up to see that it was you. Naturally I smile from ear to ear, giving you a contagious bright smile before chirping out.
"Jaebeommie~ hi hi, it has been a while and its so nice to see you. How are you?"
@Lee Taemin *had decided to go out to eat on my own, wanting a bit of quiet time instead of being around the others all the time. going into one of my favorite places, I get in line to order, already knowing what I want and smile when its my turn to order. placing the order, I go to the waiting side but stop a bit when I see a familiar face* oh...taemin hyung, its been awhile
@Lim Jaebeom *after a few minutes of looking back and forth with the menu I finally decide what I would be ordering and steps up to the counter to request for it, and pay for it. Walks over to the waiting side and glances around the very few people chilling in the store while enjoying their warm beverages
@Lee Daehwi *straightens myself while laughing softly*
oof, my bad.
Don't you worry at all. *nods firmly with a chirpy hum.*
*Follows you into the shop, hearing blenders and chatter amongst us as I stand beside you, a sheepish smile on my face*
no no thank you for saying yes. *rubs my nape while still smiling the same* its been a long time for me too, so its very nice.
*Motions to head to the counter so we could order our drinks only to catch that they also had sweets too*
ooh, did you just want bubbletea or do you want desserts too?
@Chae Hyungwon ah- no need to bow
*waves my hands as i also come to a natural bow before you*
aaa ok ok that's good. i'd feel bad if i made you wait
*i walk in as you open the door, nodding my head to you in a quiet nod*
thank you for asking me out haha, it's been awhile since i've hung out with people
@Lee Daehwi *I hear a voice nearby, naturally I would lift my head up, my eyes lighting up once I see who the voice belonged too. I scrambled to stuff my phone away and bows a little bit, smiling widely*
oh no I wasn't waiting, just chilling about.
*steps to the side and opens the door to the shop*
Thank you for coming out today, I appreciate it~
@Chae Hyungwon *i had to get my manager to drop me off, car pulling up to a curb for a drop off. once parked and able to leave the vehicle, i wave my manager off with a small smile and bow. pursing my lips as i straighten out my clothes with a huff*
ok
*with a little nod for myself, i turn on my heels and notice you have already been standing at entrance. i wondered if i was late or not, but i skipped over anyways with a friendly smile*
hopefully i didn't make you wait
@Lee Daehwi *I arrive at the little vintage shop in my car, parking it in front of the building and I play with my bangs, sweeping and running my digits through them. Once I was settled with my appearance I stepped out of the car, flattening my clothes as I wait in front of the shop. Takes out my phone to check the time and to also play around with it, before you were to arrive.*
