That's great.
Should we exchange contact numbers?
/he said absently, fumbling through the pockets in search of his phone/
Here.
/he presented the said device from his trouser's pocket/
Oh, I should have a look at your group's song as well. I planned on doing so before but I got busy with something else.
I had to drink a lot of vegetable drinks when I was a child. Because they were good for me. So now I don't like raw carrots -- cooked, on the other hand, aren't so bad.
/the smile that graced his own lips softened his eyes in the process, and the gaze he set upon you was only the more pleased to see your grin/
I should be free soon. Our promotions are coming to an end.
Of course, you don't.
/he muttered cryptically, his countenance brightened with a grin/
But carotene is good for your health-oh well, I have one or two dislikes of my own. So I can't anything against it.
It is very enjoyable. I will be looking forward to it.
Let me know when you're free okay?
I was flattered by that remark though. I don't think you have a reason to feel embarrassed after that.
/too involved in his own embarrassment, or something like it, as the color slowly fades from his cheeks, he very nearly missed that sheepish grin in glancing up/
Oh, oh food of course. I'm not too picky, but I love chicken. I'm just not a big fan of sandwiches. Or cold cucumbers -- or raw carrots. Perhaps I'm a little picky. But the street food market sounds like it would be enjoyable.
That's a rather unpleasant idiomatic expression and utterly false. I don't think you have done anything remotely embarrassing although the same couldn't be said about me. Especially after the mochi incident.
/a sheepish grin tugged his ripe lips, ducking his head as the feeling of discomfiture rises up his throat/
Yes, yes. That is indeed the correct choice.
So, what kind of food do you like?
Or we could go visit the street food market, it's been a while since I last visited that place.
/he wrinkled his nose in response, his full cheeks rising up against his eyes, turning both into downward-turned crescents/
I don't know that it's that easy, hyung. I'm pretty good at putting my foot in my mouth in front of you.
/coaxed to a more positive response, he let his hands fall, limp at either side until his fingers squirmed to life and the safety of his pockets/
It wouldn't do for me to make you demand it of me, especially not when I would gladly spend my free time with you. The way you put it, I guess it would be in both our best interests if I just... accepted.
/he leaned forward, scoffing aloud as he trapped your nose betwixt his index and middle finger before tweaking the tip of your nose/
Stop saying foolish things.
It was more of an invitation than an offer, although it can quickly transform into a demand depending on your response.
You cannot say with absolute confidence regarding my thoughts and opinions, dear Rie. I am choosing to spend my time with you, so please accept it.
No no no, that's not what I meant by it at all.
/he lifted both his hands to wave the thought away, offering a similarly awkward smile that falls away just as quickly as it appeared/
You shouldn't make such an offer, hyung. Otherwise I might just want to take up all your time, and then what would that leave you? I'm worried you would just be bothered rather than bored.
So, you want me to call you delicious?
/he queried with a bemused expression, wondering how the conversation had diverted into such an awkward cul-de-sac/
Please, I don't have many people to entertain. Besides, I wouldn't mind if you take up all my time. It's better than getting bored at home alone.
Is it strange then that I still feel like it's a high compliment? Not that I would say I'm delicious... or that anyone would say that. That's -- perhaps it is weird.
/his eyes widened slightly, rounded gaze matching the plump shape of his parted tiers, and he rocked toward the balls of his feet/
That would be nice. I would enjoy that, actually, a lot. I just don't want to eat up all of your time.
/he brought a hand to the back of his hair, fingers running anxiously through the dark strands at the mere thought, and his hand sliding over the nape of his neck/
Yeah?
/he canted his head, rebellious chestnut brown strands fray his vision/
Sorry for comparing you to the food. Oddly, that's the first thing that came to my mind.
If it makes you feel any better, those mochi were delicious. Hah, this conversation is morphing into something weird.
/he tapped the tip of your nose, mirthful chuckle effervescent from his parted brims while he combed his hair with his fingers, sweeping them away from his forehead/
You can come to me whenever you want, Rie. We could go out and visit eateries when possible too. I think that would be nice.
Hyung --
/a single press of your finger is enough to deepen that subtle hue tint his cheeks to better match the very tips of his ears/
I've never been compared to food. I feel like that's a high compliment.
/he averted his gaze as his shoulders rose toward his ears, a non-committal shrug all that he can manage/
I suppose it's just that I like speaking with you -- it's nice to have a hyung to talk to, rather than spending most of my time here alone.
/he clicked his tongue at your words, incessantly pressing his finger against your cheek/
So cute. Your cheeks looks like the white peach mochi that I recently ate.
/he looked at you with an indulgent smile, noting the faint roseate imbued the tips of your ears/
It's a pleasure to spend time with you as well, although I am uncertain of what you gain from these interactions. But still, it's nice to have someone to talk.
But it might be enjoyable to watch.
/he stood still, the touch of your hand leaving him stunned and the tips of his ears flushed/
It's not much of a sacrifice, considering what I gain in return. I appreciate having these moments, hyung.
Ah, you shouldn't be setting up a bar for me to reach. I might be tempted to leap, next time.
/he chuckled allowing his hand to travel along the smooth curve of your cheek, poking with his forefinger/
So, you'd be willing to sacrifice your leisure hours to chat with me?
I am touched
Oh no, that's alright. I just would have been sure to cover my mouth if I had known.
/smiles to you/
That's good. I'm glad you were able to get some rest, hyung.
I will eventually -- but for now, you're here.
Oh, sorry if I surprised . I came back a while ago.
/pats your head/
I took a short nap, so I feel a bit energized.
You should take some rest when possible.
