(( do i sense a first kiss 👀 ))
“you’re the worst!” eunjae laughed, attempting to cover his face so ewen couldn’t see just how bad he was blushing and so he couldn’t see his glasses anymore. but there was only so much he could do, after all he didn’t want to stop looking at ewen and he surely didn’t want to get any fingerprints on his glasses. it happened often enough and he wasn’t going to let it happen any more than it already did. “but you win, i’m cute, i’ll admit it.” he let out a heavy sigh, just as if he was admitting defeat.
he gave it a few seconds for his face to go back to its normal color, hating how he could feel the fact that he was bright red. “you know why you’re seeing me with glasses right now? because if i kept my contacts in any longer my eyes would feel like they would dry up and fall right out of my skull, how cute, right?” he asked mokingly, staring up at ewen. it was the first time he realized how close they were, and he really enjoyed it.
“but you’re wrong. what you said was wrong i mean. i don’t wear them to school because i look hideous in them. nobody would call me cute, trust me, i’d be getting anything but compliments. there would be mass petitions for the school to get rid of the ugly monster that suddenly showed up and pretended to be me.” he looked anywhere but at ewen as he spoke. there was something so intimate about admitting his insecurities, especially when he was pretty sure that ewen had the idea that he was this super confident guy in his head. he didn’t want to spoil the perfect image that ewen had of him, he didn’t really want to risk ewen not liking him anymore.
he decided that he hated the air that his sudden negativity left around them, wanting to go back to making ewen blush and laugh with embarrassment whenever ewen pointed out the fact that he was blind and needed glasses. “i’m not going to call you cute anymore. besides, adorable fits you better. i mean, cats are cute. small things like babies, and especially you, are adorable.” he flashed ewen a bright smile, having no intentions of letting him win their little playful argument. “my tiny adorable boyfriend looking more adorable than usual in my clothes. even the way you threatened me before is adorable, what are you possibly going to do to me, huh? you’re too tiny to do any real damage, too adorable.” even if ewen was insecure about his height, he wasn’t saying anything in a bad way. just as he was insecure about his glasses, the teasing he received from ewen was in a playful way, not meant to actually hurt him.
