Mess Hall

@aaron l. [h 10/19] () We can continue, no sweat. Take your time :)

Youngkyun sat there comfortably as he listened to the other and watched as passerby’s went by. He emitted a small hum before peeking over to Aaron with a brief nod.

“Yeah …I guess you are right. Perhaps another time then. But..how are you feeling now? Still need company or anything you’d wish to chat about? We can sit in silence too if you would much prefer that. I don’t mind.”

He offered kindly while he gave his legs a small stretch before placing his hands upon his lap.

@youngkyun k. () Would you still like to continue this thread? My apologies for kind of spacing out on this one. And to be honest if anything please lmk if I can poke u ooc or thatcu can poke me ooc as well lol
If not we can drop this thread but yeah sorry I been. Getting busy ;;

"It's Definitely OK to have bad days so I get that and I get the feeling that a lot of others might be having a hard time recently. "

*he looked to the other and than looked to the surroundings before his wolf ears moved and he than used the opportunity to turn around? But he looked back at Kyun.*

"Wait... right ?... I really don't think this is a good place fore one... but maybe when we get an opportunity?"

**he liked that he might get a back rub but he was seldom conscious until the mass hall.**

@aaron l. “I mean..negativity feeds into your head so I try not to think about it for too long.
Does not mean I don’t have bad days because I definitely do….
And of course we can continue to be friends and hang~”

Youngkyun did not notice anything out of the ordinary from Aaron and being kinda oblivious at times, he couldn’t help the low chuckle that left his lips.
“Not hungry- but if you’d like a back rub. I got two hands that can help you out.”

@youngkyun k. ",you seem like you still got a nice attitude about things, so I'd say I hope we can be good friends and maybe just keep getting along yeah?.... I don't ... I used to not havijg much of anything, but hey.... at least I'm able to sorta get along ng with you seems like..."

**He felt his cheeks grow pink no from feeling... a tad much. By that he means he genuinely felt a emotional rise that he could not keep from showing. How embarrassing he thought as he looked ahead as his side profile was seen. But he finally softly smiled and looked to Kyun.

"I will...I promise...umm u hungry? Or was that back rub still on the table?"

@aaron l. Unsure what exactly Youngkyun was feeling energy wise , he was definitely more keen and observant than he would let anyone ever catch on to.
He noticed that Aaron seemed a bit guarded but wasn’t sure why or if it was because Youngkyun gave off a certain type of vibe.
But when the blunt question was asked, Youngkyun brought a hand to rub his own nape awkwardly before speaking in a soft tone.

“Uh..nervous ? A little bit..but I’m socially awkward in person compared to social media so this is expected. You seem like someone who is a really good friend, Aaron. Don’t doubt your greatness.”

He spoke honestly while he rested his hand back down on his lap while he side glanced to Aaron before an empathetic expression appears on Youngkyun’s face.
“I see… you don’t have to explain anything to me. We all have our moments, right? Take it at your own pace and no need to over exert your energy if you are low. I’m sure most of us are understanding to that. As for me…I’m okay. Just kinda existing as best as I can.”

He turned his head to Aaron and curved his lips into his usual kind smile as he nodded in response as well.

“Whenever you feel like talking about it. Definitely chat with someone you trust dearly, okay?”

@youngkyun k. "nooooo not at all, it's just something I do..."

**He was aware he sighed a bit to much, he didn't want to make others feel bad or anything... he just saw things in the world differently and he sometimes felt like it just took a,lot out of him at the most random times. He wasn't one to be physically active except maybe running so he had good long but strong legs, didn't look it but that was a secret**

"Do I make you feel nervous Kyun? ... well I'm just one of those type of friends huh?"

**He tried to be light-hearted with things because he really wanted to be around the other beta he just knew in his head he had a issue and maybe he was one to only mask things just like anyone else.. his ears twitched to the sides in a curious manner as he sat near the other.**

"So... you? Are you ok? I'm ok~ I promise you that, I uh... I sometimes get low energy, and it's not really anyone's fault...it's just how I am... it means that I feel others energy more intensely... but I have a few other things that also interfere?? I guess... with my senses a bit...so... I guess that's what I'd like you to know..."

*He wasn't one to be shy but an observer and a learner, but shy was an emotional thing right.?
Kyun had suddenly made him shy..., because he did just reveal a truth about himself.... he felt he wanted to because he knew it's the best thing*

@aaron l. Youngkyun took note of Aaron’s relaxed state and the obvious tattoos on their physique. Assuming they only had the ones upon their neck and face but was not surprised that they had more on their body.
He took a second to recollect past conversations as to try to find out when he asked for foot rubs but then he parted his lips into an ‘o’ shape at the realization.

“Oh..I was joking, pal. You definitely don’t have to do that. But its kind of you to actually consider it.”

Taking a second to sit down next to Aaron, Youngkyun’s own ears were present as he was also relaxing. His appearing all black while he took a moment to glance at Aaron’s side profile before speaking calmly.
“You doing okay, buddy? You sighed- have I caused some sort of distress?”

@youngkyun k. "what's wrong with lurking sometimes? It's in our nature isn't it?"

**He let his redish-brown wolf ears out but he kept his tail tucked. He already had that feeling and could easily see the feeling of the others nervousness**

"...pfft you don't owe me anything~... you're the one telling me you wanted a foot rub earlier "

*crosses arms over his chest and playfully rolls his eyes looking at you and than still sighing.. his tail coming out to say hello for a moment... a slight chuckle emits from his lips as he rubs the back of his tattooed neck with his left tattooed hand. Wearing a no sweater today so you see his arm ink too now.*

@aaron l. Makes his way over to you wearing a black hoodie and matching black sweatpants while his hands are placed in his pockets. The calm demeanor of Youngkyun being obvious as he slowly approaches you with his tone coming off casual but a hint of nervousness.
“You…hollered? Why are you lurking, pal and what payment do I owe….?”

@youngkyun k. "I'd prefer to look cuter, but I guess I won't complain... Thanks, Youngkyun." Tao wiggled happily in place, folding their sweater over their waist again and tucking it tightly to keep themselves warm and shielded from showing too much skin.
"Mm, hopefully next time it's under less... Business-y circumstances, and we can actually hang out!" They offered, smile mellowing to an amused grin at the warning offered by the other. "Don't you know? I *am* the weirdo around here, Mister." But the omega was only teasing and winked playfully, reaching out to pat Youngkyun's arm. "I'll text, no worries. And thank you for being so concerned. Have a good night!"

@yetao h. Though Youngkyun did not know what Yetao meant by their comment as he did not find anything wrong with their attire.
He simply curved his lips up into a kind smile before speaking, “I don’t think you are a walk of shame in progress? I think you are dressed comfortably for yourself? Who cares what anyone else thinks, right? We don’t live our lives for anyone else after all.”
His words came out sincere as he hugging the jar of protein powder before emitting a low laugh at the quirky introduction from Yetao.
“You got it, Tao. I’m sure we will meet again, probably not over a jar of protein powder though…but please do not allow me to keep you here. I can talk for hours- get back to your room safely and I’ll catch you later, okay? Don’t talk to weirdos, text me when you get there.” He shoots up a quick thumbs up as he shows a sense of caring.

@youngkyun k. "Oh, you're just being nice. I look like a walk of shame in progress." Tao nodded down to their sparkly top and sweatpants combo, then tilted their head to their shoulder in a half hearted shrug. The omega wrapped their arms around their waist, holding the hoodie shut and nodding, smiling. They were just happy it wouldn't go to waste, and that Youngkyun was at least pretending to be interested in the flavor.
"Oh!" Tao straightened up, offering a bow in an almost automated response, "Right~ I'm Yetao! Or you can call me Tao, or TaoTao! I'm so happy to finally meet you in person!" They stood up again with a blinding smile, nodding. "Hopefully this won't be the last time we end up meeting. Campus is too small for that anyways, right?"

@yetao h. Youngkyun was not sure why Yetao was so excited to see him but then again they might could be a genuinely positive individual.
The comment that is then spoke, catches Youngkyun off guard but he merely emits a brief chuckle.
“I…thank you? Definitely the first time I’ve been told such a compliment. You don’t look too bad yourself.”
He returned the kind gesture as he extended his arms out to accept the protein powder, nodding his head to their words.
“I’ll definitely use it. A new flavor to my collection and I’m stoked to try it. Ah how rude of me..”
He quickly bows his head in a greeting as he then speaks kindly.
“Pleasure to meet you, I’m Youngkyun or ..as you call me Kyun. Its nice to officially meet.”

@youngkyun k. The omega beamed wide as they handed over the protein powder, fighting the urge to reach out and pinch a cheek on the other. "You're so cute in person!" Tao cooed instead, letting their tongue run away before their brain could catch it; at least they hadn't thought of something else first. "I mean, you have an adorable smile, but it's much cuter in person." They nodded, lips pressed together in a bashful little grin.

"Uh, anyways-- it's peanut butter pie flavor, which was like... I dunno. A peanut butter cup mixed with vanilla milkshake flavor? I hope you end up liking it. I'd be sad to see it go to waste twice."

@yetao h. He waited for a good while but it wasn’t a big deal to him as he didn’t have any other plans anyway.
After all, Youngkyun is definitely someone that would need to be caught while out and about before he is not likely to come out at all or for a long time. He was leaning against the wall in the hall to avoid standing in the middle where other students and staff passed through as he scrolled through his phone nonchalantly.
Reading the text notification from Yetao, he didn’t feel the need to reply in the moment.

Soon a few more minutes had gone by and he had heard a voice call out a shorter version of his name..? Or was it actually someone’s name? He pondered on the thought but finally decided to glance up and noticed an individual approaching him. This must be Yetao- he mentally stated in his mind. Taking this time to shove his cellular device into his jammy pockets, his own lips curved upward into a shy smile.

“Its all good. I didn’t have any plans anyway. Greatly appreciate the powder though. I am excited to try it.”

@youngkyun k. Yetao checked their phone, rolling out of bed and grabbing the protein powder off the shelf they'd had it on before even thinking about their clothing. Having come home from their recent shopping trip and collapsing into a half-dressed puddle on their bed, they were definitely *not* outdoor ready.

[Text @ Kyun]
I'll be down in a hot minute. I need to pretty myself up before I face the world.

Yetao laughed at themselves, and hoped Youngkyun didn't take their statements any bit too seriously either. Grabbing a pair of baggy sweats, the soft gray material heavily contrasted the sparkly black halter top they wore; so they covered up with the matching gray zip-up sweater, hanging off their narrow frame without actually being zipped. A pair of black and white Nikes by the door being the shoes they chose before Tao bounced out of the building and towards the mess hall, cradling the bag like a baby. When they saw the other, they raised a hand in greeting, calling out with a smile. "Kyun! Sorry to keep you waiting~ I needed pants." They smiled, shrugging their shoulders.

@yetao h. Youngkyun walks down the hallway wearing his deadpool long pant pajama bottoms and a plain black tshirt with his hair slightly damped as if he just hopped out the shower. His outfit is complete by the pairing of his black slides with socks as he gives off a very casual appearance despite not caring about any looks he may be getting nor caring about it.
He walked down the hall with his head down as he is scrolling through his phone, being sure to send a quick text to Yetao as he approached close to their dorm but did not feel respectful going fully to it.

[Text message: Yetaoo]
- Hey Yetao! I’m in mess hall about half way to your dorm. I can wait for a little bit if you need time to get here but I’m ready for you! Thanks for meeting up w/ me too!
