@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ Yeah, but it’s okay..
he whispered softly the words falling out of his mouth as he could somewhat sense your concern, it was obvious the two were interested in each other, so really.. it shouldn’t have came as a surprise to him, but he always had his own self doubts. He tilted his head down just a tad as you fastened the necklace around his neck, and once it was placed his hand immediately moved to hold it in his fingers, it was a weird feeling, really, accepting a gift from someone as way to show their intentions with each other, but a small part of him had been excited and hopeful for what the future held. dropping his hand back down, he let out a soft laugh, following yours before looking up at you, eyes soft as they silently searched yours for a brief moment, his voice quiet and warm as he spoke.
you’ll have to teach me your way of courting though, so I know what to expect.
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ i surprised you?
he grimaces faintly, wondering if maybe he was being too bold by not waiting longer to ask him. was he rushing into things? the courting stage was known to take a bit of time, maybe he should just extend it out a little while. either way, he had just been given permission to put the necklace on you, and so he steps to the side, fastening the jewelry around your neck with a gentle touch.
i just want to make sure you know that i am interested in you, and actively pursuing you.. and others as well so i don’t have to worry about them chasing after you—
he clears his throat and offers a light laugh, knowing full well that everyone knew the two had been together lately.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ he can't help the urge to scruffle your hair lightly at your words, he can see the confusion follow in on your face, and it was a small way to, hopefully, lighten the mood. a small smile tugging at his lips when he hears the words fall so easily out of your mouth and he shakes his head.
your quite the... you've surprised me a few times now.
he's unsure of how to phrase his words, but he nods watching you stand up, eyes blinking down at your hands and back up at you, hesitating for a moment, before he slowly nods.
you can
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ he blinks in bewilderment at your reaction, gaze flicking between both of your eyes as liquid pools within them. did he say something wrong, maybe he read the room incorrectly? his lips part as he fumbles over an apology, about to bow his head in rejection when your hand juts out toward his face.
i— yes. i am a thousand percent sure. you’re the one i need.
the words come out with ease, mainly because it’s true, and also slightly out of relief to be received well.
i’m sorry it’s so sudden.. i’ve been debating for a while honestly on when doing it this way.. but it’s the way i was raised and it’s how my parents ended up so deeply in love.
he stands up, necklace still unclasped in his hand.
may i put it on for you?
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ hm?
he watches you curiously, brows furrowed a bit when he sees you moving, and even more so when you're in front of him, his brain to frazzled to get a grasp as to what your doing and he blink when you look back up at him, his eyes widening a bit as your words tail on, and he goes to speak, but no words come out of his mouth and he throws his head back lightly in a frustrated groan.
intak-- you can't...
you can't do this to me on the first day of my cycle
he looks back at you, blinking back the tears that were starting to pool in his eyes, it was a lot for him but he nods his head in affirmation, holding his hand out, quietly as he whispers.
are you sure..?
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ okay. you know what?
he huffs softly, feeling as if it wasn’t really getting anywhere mainly due to his own lack of communication skills. so he slips off the bed and moves to kneel in front of you, grimacing as he takes his necklace out of his shirt and undoes the chain.
this is a necklace i like to wear often, it’s kind of a good luck charm of sorts— it means a lot to me, which is exactly why i am going to offer it to you now.
he clears his throat, glancing down at the chain and then back up at you with a soft breath.
sunwoo. i want to cherish you in my life. i want to learn with you, and grow as a person beside you.. and yes, i know i am young, i know it’s not going to be perfect and the road is going to be long and winding- but i, right now, cannot imagine another person i want to spend it with than you.
i want to become more than a friend or someone special, i want to become a person worthy of your mate.. and i don’t want to rush it. so with the necklace, i am asking for official permission to court you— the wolf way.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ i get that, and you don't have to show... all the affection or... force it out.
he begins, breathing softly, and subtly leaning in to you a bit, fighting the urge to fully lean against you, and keeping his arms wrapped around his knees, he still takes some moments to process his thoughts, before he shakes his head gently.
make me feel like one then... and i'll do better on reaching out, and doing the things that i'm not comfortable with like reaching out more. im good about bothering people once i get to know them better, but we... we are still learning each other, and it..
he sighs and bonks his forehead lightly on his knees
as dumb as it sounds i feel, as the older, that i /shouldn't/ bother you too much especially when you're busy. i want you to prioritize your rest and health. so... dont.... dont apologize for being busy, you can't do anything about your schedules, but just a small reminder here and there,,, 'hey im thinkin about you' is nice, and i ... could do it too
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ you’re not—
he shakes his head, wanting so badly to hold you or give some form of consolation to you, especially when your voice begins to change as you become upset.
sunwoo. you’re doing everything right and then some. you’ve been very vocal with me, and honest with is exactly what i need. i’m not the type to show much affection.. but when it comes to you, i really want to learn that.
he groans, wishing his brain was a little clearer so he could speak better. his eyes slowly move to you, cursing softly beneath his breath before scooting closer and placing an arm around your back, keeping the touch minor so as not to pressure you.
i love when you talk to me, look at me, want to hug me or kiss me or see me.. i love having someone who wants me for those things. i need to work on being able to provide those things, and that has nothing to do with what you are doing. i have been busy, extremely busy with schedules due to the holiday season.. and for that, i am truly sorry. but you need to start considering yourself as a priority in my life too— an important aspect just like my job, you know
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ he's now brought his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around his legs his forehead now resting on his knees, this way it's easier to focus on your words.. and hide his eyes starting to sting, which he isn't sure why. he takes a deep breath, before moving to rest his chin on his knees instead, his gaze fixated on a spot on the floor.
that's what i thought it was, honestly. or beginning to think anyway. ... and that's fine if that's what you wanted.
he barely glances at you as he exhales a sigh shaking his head, his voice quieting down to a whisper
it's quite funny we had similar talks twice now, and we aren't even anything... official.
i told you before i liked you, and those feelings haven't gone away... despite... despite you not being around much. i don't like to seem clingy or annoying so if you're doing your own thing, i just... let you do that. though, if you like me.. like you say you do then if i'm--
he clears his throat gently feeling his voice starting to strain
if i'm doing something wrong too, you can tell me
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ i.. it’s honestly scary to me
he laughs kind of suddenly, a quiet laugh that wasn’t fully formed but an honest reaction to his own struggles in expressing himself eloquently.
i do want to spend time with you. so much that it’s overwhelming, because i’ve never really experienced anything like it before? i just don’t want to screw it up by misjudging or placing my affection for you on you to have to accept simply because it’s there.
he fiddles with his hand now that it was released and free, continuing to explain his thoughts.
i really am just crazy about you. i like everything i’ve gotten to see and want to learn more and more.. and be involved in your life more than just a simple cuddle here and there— it’s insanely domestic.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ he nods again, tugging one your hand towards him just a bit, his other hand subconsciously fiddling with your fingers as you talked, he lets out a quiet sigh, one more for himself, than anything.
I think that...
he pauses for a moment taking his hands away from yours to rub his face a bit, before looking up at you again.
sorry- i'm.. i'm listening - just taking me a moment to compute a response-
I do- want to? I dont know how or why, but I find myself wanting to be around you more, and I .. dont get it?
but i just want to make sure that its what you want too, like you being around and spending time with me, that you're not.. draining yourself to try to be around?
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ he nods as you answer again, looking at you with such a tender expression behind his gaze. it wasn’t fresh news to him, but it did reiterate in his brain what you yearned for was quality time and affection.. so he should try more to give you that.
I think I need to know the boundaries. Because.. I do want to date you, and give you all the things you yearn for and crave and then some.. I just need to know that you also want to go there with me. It doesn’t mean now— but it does mean I will fully allow myself to commit to you. No more doubts.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ a soft but small smile tugs on his lips when he feels the warmth of your hands, fingers brushing lightly over them in turn. he waits patiently for you to answer, a slow nod to his head to show he's listening to you.
mm, that does make some sense, i think?
he hums a bit and looks at you, eyes searching yours a bit, taking in the quiet again as he wants to formulate his own response, his own mind already a bit haywire on emotions before he looks down and sighs.
i do... i do wish you were around a bit more -- but ...
as i told you before, if you wanted to, you would, right?
i'm not good at asking people to come around, but when you are around.. i do like it
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ he slides his hands into yours, eyes quietly alert as you ask your question. his eyes slide between both of yours as he tries to come up with how to phrase it , finally brushing his thumb against your knuckle and responding.
i was watching other couples and felt that i haven’t been very good at courting you. as a wolf i should be doing better, so then i was planning on canceling my schedules a bit so i can be around more? and then realized you may not even see me how i see you.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ he watches you carefully until your sitting on his bed, and has half a mind to scoot closer to you, but decides against it and opts to hold his hands out instead, a silent ask for your hands, hopefully a bit comforting.
what...
he clears his throat a bit before continuing, asking cautiously
what made you start thinkin that?
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ he closes the door, debating locking it but deciding against the protective idea in favor of giving you piece of mind. his feet naturally carry him closer to the bed, taking the seat as gestured to.
i just.. genuinely started thinking about if i would be able to show you the amount of love you deserve.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ he's laying face down flat on his bed, waiting for you to show up from your last message, before he hears you coming to his room, he groans lightly as he sits up, almost reluctant to do so, but gives your a small smile once he sees you. sitting up fully, he pats his bed, for you to sit,his smile tugging into a small frown
whats wrong?
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ maybe it was due to his drunken state, but this time he doesn’t even knock on the door before walking into the cabin. he nods to the others inside per usual and gives your door a light tapping before stepping inside. the scent was.. well, different, but nothing too overwhelming for him to handle.
hey-
@• ❁┆ j. wooyoung。ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏ ᶜᵃᵗ the smartphone finally "ding!" ed back to life, with a message notification inside his pocket. kang reached for the device, reading through the short text and memorized the cabin number. his free hand was looped with a sturdy paper bag from the liquor store. he had taken a detour to the convenience store, collection his carefully curated choices of snacks, consisting of saltines, cheddar slices and two medium bars of dark chocolate— perfect pairings for his favorite bourbon. papercups was also added to the list, as backup, just in case.
the arrived at the premised 35 minutes later, hair tousled from the quick jog that halted in front of the designated cabin door. his knuckles knocking against the wooden partition while he waits for his beckoning to be answered.
@❀┆ s. kang。ᵃᵐᵘʳ ˡᵉᵒᵖᵃʳᵈ With a quick text — and by some miracle it sent despite being in the cabins — Wooyoung sent Kang his cabin number, so they could meet for the drink they talked about once the other had a moment. He had some liquor of his own sitting on the table beside his bed, just in case, that he had set in ice that he nabbed from the cafeteria on his way back. He lingered by the door once he heard the message sent, unsure if the universe would give him the second miracle of receiving a digital indication that his company had arrived
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ Ooh.. that sounds.. interesting. I’m curious now, but yeah! We can watch that!
He coos a bit at your smile resisting the urge to pinch your cheeks before bursting into a small laughter.
Oh your heat, huh? That’s crazy.. I didn’t know you had those sks
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ There are like kids involved and the demon here really freakishly violent. Super creepy and unsettling, far more than scary normally is but less scary in a sense
his teeth show as he flashes a smile, showing off his sharp set of canines with a wiggle of his brows
there’s a reason i suppressed my heat this time
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ Oh! That sounds somewhat vaguely familiar? I’m not sure, maybe watching it again will be like watching for the first time for you?
He hums lightly in thought, his hand squeezing yours and he lets out a soft snort at your yours and nods his head
You are, actually. At least most of the time anyway
He gives you a playful wink at his words
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ it’s about a family who moves into a new house and is then haunted by a demon ghost thing? i think.. honestly don’t remember the plot at all
makes a noise of agreement, keeping the warm smile on his face as you call him cute, his fingers intertwining with yours
I actually think I’m pretty cute and wholesome
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ Oh! Well then yes let’s watch the first one! Uhm.. what’s it about even? All I know is the title..
as long as you don’t mind rewatching it again of course then I don’t mind watching with you
Huffs lightly at the kiss, and presses his forehead against you a bit before lifting his head back up, shaking his head
You’re cute, you know that?
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ ! well if you haven’t seen the first, then we should watch it. i haven’t watched the movie since it came out i think, or maybe a few years after?
he pulls his head back some and laughs quietly, kissing between your eyes against the furrow of your skin
just how happy i’ll be, having you all curled against me for safety.
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ Okay that sounds good
Ah- I don’t think I’ve ever seen the first but I don’t mind watching the second with you!
he blinks and furrows his brows in even more confusion, a small pout forming on his lips
What were you thinking about, hm!
@• ✿┆ k. sunwoo。ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ let’s watch something scary but not too bad. i have seen the first paranormal activity, but what about the second? the first one creeped me out but it wasn’t nightmare inducing.
he snorts, watching your expression morph into one of suspicious confusion and nudging his nose against yours.
i was just thinking about something..
a very smart way to think about it, hah
@❀┆ h. intak。ʸᵘᵏᵒⁿ ʷᵒˡᶠ We can be scared together then sksk
But it doesn’t matter what we watch, I don’t think I’ve watched too many scary movies this season, so maybe?
He tilted his head curiously eyes narrowing a bit at your smirk, confused.
Maybe I will soon! But I can use it to my advantage to be close to you, for now.
