-good, I like to remain that way hehe
-oops I thought- my bad indekjkfjenm
- Ah so you don't know the cues or if its serious stuff with the person. hmmm what if instead you flirt or show interest with someone and see if they reciprocate it??? but then....the same issue arises where you might not know if their flirting back is serious mmm. What if you spend time with folks, and once you like someone you ask them out instead of the flirting mystery game
-oh boy, I don't do strangulation for silly reasons. OOOH I wish I could have seen the bad soo doppelganger.
-YOU ARE RIGHT. I'll send a pic right now since you lack the imagination- I tease

• i will never understand you.
• taemin, i know how dating and courting someone works.
• i struggle with what comes before that. how the hell do i know if someone is being friendly or flirting with me. and if they are flirting, how am i supposed to know if they are serious or if it is done in jest. i wish people were easier to read, it would make my life much simpler.
• the day i download a dating app is the day you need to strangle me because i have been replaced by a terribly unconvincing doppelganger.
• wouldn't it be easier to send those pictures you were talking about if i am supposed to picture it?

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [Text: GrandVampSoo]

-That's good~
- you can't stop me from doing this over text /coos/ a hopeless romantic Soo~
-You don't know how to start? it sounds like you need a wingman. 6v6 Usually if you are interested in someone, you hangout or go on dates, find out if you truly bond and like them. After a couple of dates, maybe it'll lead to a relationship. Are you nervous about asking folks out on dates? Orrr maybe a dating app would be better
- ITS MEANT FOR YOU TO PICTURE ME DOING THOSE THINGS >:p

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• i mean, yeah? i suppose i have.
• at the end of the day, i do want someone to take care of and vice versa. someone to keep close to me. something precious, special.
• i am a hopeless romantic at heart. i just do not know how to start.
• you can't do any of those things over text. how is that supposed to even work, taemin.

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [text:GrandVampSoo]

- No worries I can always ask more about it later, when you aren't in your rut.
-Have you been wishing to find people you could bond with? If this is personal information, just let me know, and we can talk about something else.
- anxious bean....anxiety is never fun UnU
- /SQUINTS HARDER/ I can squint and do many things over text /sticks tongue out/
- mhmmm~

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• that's the closest thing to it? i think.
• i can't explain it very well currently.
• yeah. i usually get anxious, too. but i always am.
• or, i suppose some people are excited. i saw that, too.
• you can't squint over text.
• okay. don't hesitate to.

— I won’t tell a soul, cross my heart!!
— I haven’t seen it in years, but it sounds like a nice time.
— Mm, I’ll be free for the next couple of days leading up to my heat this time.

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [text: GrandVampSoo]

-pfft understandable
- oooooohhhh I learn something new about GrandSoo. So folks you have a connection with and can mingle together without problems?
- nervous and anxious? Mm interesting. You'll be free from that cabin soon enough
- seeeee you'll be done so soon!!!
- hey now..../squints/
- okayie dokie, I'm always stocked up and prepared for this kind of stuff but I'll let you know

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• i am sure i will make more sense once i can actually concentrate on whatever i am telling you.
• not mine only. that's hypocritical, i am poly.
• i don't know, i usually hear people being nervous or anxious, but not sad? i suppose it makes sense. i feel like if i were a more social person, i would be sad, too. right now i mostly feel restless. cabin fever and all.
• i'll be done tomorrow or day after.
• [ message deleted ]
• tell me if you'll need me to drop anything off.

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [text: GrandVampSoo]

- UnU I'm just glad I know better now.
- ah yes wounds heal with time.
- now you got me confused with your riddle lol not a partner not a friend.....mmm someone you like??? like a crush? Boyfriend is the same as partner... Friends with benefits doesn't seem the answer either. Does the person need to be yours only?
-yeah.....orz. really? No one feels sad about it???
- I don't mind being alone...but being alone for a few days at a time, cooped up in one spot just makes me miserable. It's similiar to being sick and bed ridden, unable to talk with anybody and you just have to wait for the time to conclude. I'm mainly sad I won't get to talk to everyone but at least I can text people in the meantime

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• it's okay. i do not blame you.
• nothing to be blamed for anyway.
• the wounds heal, it's alright. nothing the body is not used to, no?
• well, perhaps not a partner, per se- but certainly not "just" a friend. i don't want the lines to be blurred like that. pheromones are a strange thing, after all.
• oh, right. you did say it starts soon. i have never heard anyone say it makes them sad, though.
• why? if i may ask.

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [text: GrandVampSoo]

-I meant I should have taken into consideration that...
-I misunderstood the severity of it.
-pfft yep you do need your arms and hands~
-ooooooh I get it now, it's something you want to do with a partner *eye emoji* grandsoo is a little romantic, another cute point.
-oh- uhhhhhh I'm okay just sad about going in my heat in less than a day now.

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• what.
• there is nothing for you to be sorry about? i never told you that it was just something i deal with, no way for you to know.
• saves my own goddamn arm and hand more like. haha.
• maybe. tho that's only a temporary warmth. no point dwelling.
• i think i am a bit too traditional in this sense. i'd want it to be more than a cycle help thing. i don't know, i can't think very well.
• i didn't ask you how you are.

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ [ babe ❤️ ]

- I’ll be there and be careful, I’m not sure if it’s snowed a lot there or not and it could be slippery. Though I’m sure the walking areas are salted.
- See you soon, honey

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ [ Text: Boyfriend ♡ ]

— Great! Um, it’ll be really cold, so dress warmly.
— I wanna meet at the mountain side, it’s not too far from the resort

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ [ babe ❤️ ]

- of course we can babe
- tell me where and I’ll be there

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Yugyeom jumps when he hears his phone ping. He turns to look at the screen, suddenly feeling guilty for making Sangmin worry.

[ Text: Boyfriend ♡ ]

— Yes, everything is fine and I’m safe.

Yugyeom inhales a deep breath before typing again.

[ Text: Boyfriend ♡ ]

— I was just gonna ask if we could meet somewhere?

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Sangmin blinks in confusion, looking at his phone before sitting up to instead of calling him back, texting Yugyeom; he didn’t want to overstep.

[ babe ❤️ ]

- is everything okay?
- are you safe?

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Yugyeom begins to pace back and forth until he hears Sangmin’s voice on the other end.
“…I…” he suddenly hangs up, too nervous to ask him.

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ The family ring tone of his phone catches his attention, a bright smile forming upon seeing the caller ID in which he picks up quickly, bringing the phone to his ear. “Hey babe” he answers sweetly

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ [ Calling: Boyfriend ♡ ]

Yugyeom rocks back and forth on his feet while waiting for Sangmin to answer

@✦ ┆ l. soohyuk. ᶜᵒᵘᵍᵃʳ [text: GrandVampSoo]

-oh...Soohyuk I didn't realize that you've been dealing with this for that long....and I also want to say I'm sorry too because this whole time I thought it was a temporary thing you've been experiencing.
-i recommend it, it's very life changing and saves your personal belongings.
-what if you put the pillow into the dryer?
-silly, it didn't sound harsh, you are only giving your answer which is a no. Not everyone wants to do certain things during their heat or rut. I get it.

@✶ ┆ k. taerae. ᶠᵉⁿⁿᵉᶜ ᶠᵒˣ [ text to : rae ]

- wanna go to the cafeteria with me and grab a bite to eat?

@✶ ┆ l. taemin. ᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ [ text : taemin ᗢ ]

• thirty-six years of dealing with it, i am going to be fine
• i should. someone told me about those human sized pet beds, maybe i will get both for the next one. bite pillow might be good anyway.
• need something to chew on one way or another most of the time
• not the same when it is not warm but what can you do
• i keep slipping in and out of it, least favorite part of it all
• no.
• ...
• that sounded harsh. i don't accept this kind of help from friends, is what i mean. s with the instincts
