@♡ : lalisa m. he would've been incredibly dense if he hadn't noticed the stare the female gave him, but he did act as if he hadn't. he made his way into the living room and followed her hand, nodding as if he'd remember every one of those names while in reality he already forgot what the first one was called by the time she got to the last. "llllots of llll's," he dragged the letter out, eyebrows raising in amusement when he turned to face her again, "i wonder why?"
@♡ : junhui w. she did not understand why she did not notice it before, but as he stood up, lalisa realized that he was tall. very tall. he towered over her and she couldn't help but stare, in awe of his stature and, well, looks. junhui, as gorgeous as he was on camera, was more beautiful in person. she did not think it was possible. but god, was it nearly impossible to take her eyes off him. only when he asked her a question did she avert her attention, closing the door behind him to lead him into her living room, where the other two cats were perched up on the cat tree, her large doberman sitting at the foot of the couch.
"so, that is leo, as you know, then louis, lily, luca, lego, and that big girl over there is love," she enthusiastically introduced every single member of her little family, pointing at each one as she said their names.
@♡ : lalisa m. before answering his eyes hastily read his watch before nodding; their reservation not for another half hour, so they had plenty of time still. good thing he departed earlier than intended.
"i'd love to," junhui confessed, pushing himself back into a standing position so he could enter the house with slight caution - eyes scanning the cats with curiosity and joy. "everyone? who else is there to meet?" he wondered aloud, bending down to let the cats smell his fingers before he'd pet their head.
@♡ : junhui w. seeing the male's curiousity for her cat made her smile helplessly. it evidently caught the attention of the other little ones hanging around, too, because soon enough, two more cats, one dark-grey and the other a cloud of white grey, approached. leo, on the other hand, rounded lisa's legs to come closer to junhui, stepping over the door sill to sniff at the hand hanging over his legs. "of course you can," lalisa chuckled, stepping to the side to give him enough room to enter her house. "better yet, why don't you come in for five minutes? you can meet everyone this way, if you'd like."
@♡ : lalisa m. "i googled what your favorite flower was to receive," the male admitted, pulling his mask down to his chin to be more polite when speaking face to face. seeing the cat, however, junhui quickly made eye contact with the female before crouching down slowly, elbows on his knees while he watched leo from behind the female's legs.
"oh, no, don't worry, i love animals. hey leo~" he mused in a soft voice, head tilting slightly. but just in case, he waited for approval before he'd reach out to the animal. "can i pet him?"
@♡ : junhui w. "google?" she inquired with knitted brows, twirling the flower in between her fingers before lifting it to her nose. not that roses had a particularly strong smell, but she had developed this habit with flowers. she did love receiving flowers, after all, especially since she couldn't keep fresh ones around her house due to her pets. which, she completely forgot about until she heard a soft "mrreow?" in front of her, and her eyes dropped down to the scottish fold stepping over door sill, evidently curious about this person his mother was talking to.
"oh, leo," lisa sighed and bent down to pick up the cat, placing him inside her house behind her feet. she wasn't afraid he would run out, he was old enough to know better, but she didn't want him to get too close to jun in case he had an affliction for cat hair. "we don't know if our friend is allergic to you, my love."
@♡ : lalisa m. returning her greeting with a small bow and a simple "good evening" as well, junhui extended his arm rather quickly, not wasting any time to hand her the flower he had prepared for her earlier that day.
"yes, for you," he said, a small smile spread on his lips despite it being hidden by the mask. he mentally debated on whether he would mention it or not, but when eyed the female in front of him, no matter how times he had watched her on screen, he sort of lost his train of thought simply by her stunning appearance and her graceful aura. and it was the first thing that came to mind to mention; his free hand lifting to rub the back of his neck. "hope google did his job well."
@♡ : junhui w. looking at herself in the mirror, she tilted her head, scrutinizing every little detail her eyes swept over. she had done this for at least five minutes, adjusting her bangs so they laid on her forehead a certain way, changing her top several times, just to go back to the same one after going through five different options. she had chosen something more simple, foregoing the dress she originally intended to wear for a rose gold-colored top and a pair of billowing black pants covering a pair of black heels. her bangs were parted at the center and her hair secured with a pin behind her head, which matched the gold of her earrings and the metal of her bag.
upon hearing the chime of her door bell, she looked at herself once more before heading down the stairs, a few cats tailing her feet. she smiled nervously at them as though they would give her words of encouragement, but all they did was stare up at her with her big eyes once they arrived at her front door. "wish me luck," she whispered to them, taking in a deep breath, before opening the door to greet her date with a smile.
"good evening," she chimed, her eyes falling to the single, pink rose he held in his hand. fitting. "for me?"
driving through the rich neighborhood, junhui could all but distract himself from letting his mouth fall open in awe. he had a hard time keeping his eyes on the road instead of gazing at the large houses; but there was one he could keep his eyes on at last. with neat clothes hidden under a long sweater, a cap on his head and a mask covering half of his face, the tall male made his way over to lisa's front door. he awkwardly shifted from foot to foot to find a nice, unawkward position to nonchalantly hold the pink rose in front of him, before ringing the female's doorbell, huffing out a slightly nervous sigh.
