somethin kinda crazy [private]

wang kai

seeing miyeon in his dorm was a weird sight. well, not weird, just different. girls never really came over, there was never really a reason for them to come over; there were plenty of other, much better places to hang out with friends, and kai would’ve taken miyeon to one of those places if it wasn’t so late at night. but considering what time it was, they were stuck settling for the dorm, and it was a whole new feeling that came with seeing miyeon in the dorm. and when she sat down, the feeling only increased. he felt almost like all of this wasn’t real, like it was just a dream; after all, up until tonight, his dreams were the only time he ever talked to miyeon.

hearing her voice snapped kai out of his thoughts though, and he sincerely hoped that she didn’t catch him staring at her for a few seconds while he got lost in thought. or, if she did, he hoped that she wouldn’t mention it. when he realized that she was asking about his major, his face lit up with excitement. kai didn’t know about anyone else, but he got genuine happiness out of talking about what he had spent the past four years studying and what he hoped his future would consist of. people didn’t ask about that kind of stuff often though, so when the topic did come up, kai was more than eager to talk. well, more eager to talk than usual, with was really eager.

“i’m going to be a teacher.” kai really liked phrasing it that way rather than saying ‘my major is this’ or something like that, he was so close to graduation and saying that he was actually going to be a teacher made it seem more real, more exciting. “not like a high school teacher or anything, a kindergarten teacher. little kids are just so cute and there’s so much more stuff to learn than math and history and stuff like that, kids that age need to learn stuff like how to read and write and how to be polite, stuff that will actually stick with them forever.” he shrugged, nervously glancing around for a moment. was this boring for miyeon? “i just really liked the idea of teaching people that kind of stuff, plus i really like kids, so i decided to be a teacher.”

kai shifted around a bit, hoping that he didn’t lose miyeon’s interest. that would just be horrible. looking at miyeon though, it didn’t seem like he lost her interest though, which was a huge relief. “hey, miyeon, can i admit something? you just... promise that you won’t think any differently of me?” it felt weird, not admitting his feelings or at least saying something about liking her. he felt like he was making it beyond obvious, and now all he wanted to do was admit how he felt. he was just afraid that she wasn’t going to return his feelings and not want to hang out with him anymore. even if she didn’t like him like that, he at least wanted to be her friend. but even as a friend, he felt like he wasn’t lying to her if he was keeping his feelings a secret. “it’s nothing bad though, i realize that made it sound like i was about to admit i’m a murderer or something.” he let out a dry laugh, tilting his head as he looked at her. “but, can you promise?”

soojin just stared at heejun for a moment as he told her that his roommates name was kai. as much as she thought it was impossible for something like this to happen, she was sure it was happening. somehow, she had met the roommate of the guy that her roommate had a cute little crush on. “heejun.” she spoke softly, trying to give him a moment to realize what she had realized. but a second later, she just couldn’t hold her thoughts in anymore. it was just too exciting of an occurrence to keep quiet about. “our roommates like eachother. my miyeon likes your kai, your kai likes my miyeon.”

she leaned a bit closer to him, her smile growing as she kept realizing what all of this meant. kai and miyeon had been talking at the party and it seemed like it was going well. maybe something would come out of that. hopefully something did come out of that. kai was exactly the kind of guy that miyeon deserved and it sounded like miyeon was the kind of girl that kai deserved. and the idea of them actually getting together after finally chatting at the party was super exciting.

“our roommates are totally going to be dating.” soojin nodded, as if she was completely sure that’s what was going to come out of this. it was more of a wish, but she really did see something coming out of them talking and looking so happy together and having cute crushes on one another. “isn’t that exciting? they’ll finally be with the person they’ve had crushes on forever, and they’ll be a really cute couple, don’t you think? i mean, miyeon is super pretty, kai is attractive too there’s no denying that, they’re going to be the it couple on campus, this is so exciting.”

soojin was never really one to care about other people’s relationships, as long as people were happy and experiencing a healthy relationship, she never really paid much attention to it or had an opinion on it. but this wasn’t just any person potentially in a relationship, this was her best friend potentially dating the boy that she had been blushing cutely over just the mention of his name. it was so exciting to think that miyeon was finally going to get what she deserved.

“that means we’ll probably see eachother a lot more after tonight, if they do end up together.” soojin hummed softly, taking a moment to realize that it wasn’t just the idea of miyeon finally talking to kai that had her excited. she was also happy about the idea of getting to see heejun more often, spend more time with him. she had already enjoyed every second she had spent with him so far, minus getting his drink spilled on her, so the idea of getting to spend more time with him just sounded really nice. “that’s exciting, right?” she spoke more softly now, leaning back and nervously playing with her fingers, hoping that heejun had the same happiness over the idea of seeing eachother again that she had.

(( uwu that’s the cutest thing that i’ve ever imagined

except i fear one day he’s going to accidentally crush a tiny kid ))

kai shyly smiled in response to miyeon saying that he would be an incredible teacher. he really wanted to verbally thank her, but he suddenly just became shy at the compliment. it wasn’t often that he heard things like that, and coming from someone that had just barely heard about how passionate he was about this and really didn’t know him, well, it meant a lot.

his shyness quickly changed into pure nervousness though as soon as he realized that she was actually agreeing to listen to him without judgement. he wasn’t afraid that she was actually going to judge him or anything, like he said he wasn’t admitting anything bad, he was just going to admit he had a crush on her, but that’s why he was nervous; he feared rejection. he feared a lot more than rejection too, at least if he was rejected he could probably easily move on and they could laugh about it together in the future. he feared that she would just abandon any chance that they could at least be friends. he feared that she would just laugh in his face when he admitted that he liked someone as amazing as her, he highly doubted that she was the type of person to do something like that, but then again, he didn’t really know her.

he glanced around the room and thought about telling her something completely different than planned; after all, it wasn’t like anyone was forcing him to tell her how he felt right at this moment. but he felt like if he made something up on the spot in place of what he originally intended on telling her, that she would easily be able to tell and push him into just telling her what he had wanted to say the whole time. well, it was now or never. the worst thing that could happen is that she turns out to be a huge jerk and just laughs in his face as she rejects him, he and heejun could probably laugh it out after he gets done crying about it too, so maybe that wasn’t all too bad either. and the best that could happen is that she feels the same way, that sounded so impossible that she liked him back, but like he said, that was the best that could happen, he never said it was possible.

“okay so,” kai took a deep breath and then looked back at her, instantly smiling as soon as his eyes met hers. he so desperately hoped that even if she didn’t feel the same way and never saw herself feeling the same way that she would at least stay in his life as a friend. he didn’t want to say goodbye to her forever all because of some crush. “this is probably like, really out of nowhere and probably not the best time to admit this, but i’m not any good with timing and i feel really bad just sitting here and not telling you, it feels almost like i’m keeping a secret from you.” he took one more deep breath, then just decided to let it all out.

“i like you, as in i have a crush on you, i’ve had a crush on you since the first time i saw you in math class. and you don’t have to say anything, if you don’t like me or something like that, we can just ignore that this happened and move on with our conversation. or you can leave, i can have my roommate come back and walk you home though so i know you get home safely at least.” kai rubbed his suddenly sweaty hands on the fabric of his jeans in attempt to dry them and seem less nervous. “so, which is it, you want to pretend this never happened or do you just not want to see me again?”

he knew he was leaving out the chance of her liking him back, but it just seemed too impossible to him. how often did the person that someone liked like them back? and what were the chances of someone like miyeon liking someone like him?

kwon soojin

soojin scrunched up her nose as heejun said he didn’t want to know her just as the girl that he spilled his drink on. she was sure that no matter how much they talked and how well they ended up getting to know eachother, in a way, she would always be known as the girl that he spilled his drink on. not that it was necessarily bad, maybe over time the memory would become less embarrassing for the both of them and actually more humorous.

still, they actually had to talk and get to know eachother if they didn’t want everytime they saw eachother because of their friends to be awkward. so, she nodded in agreement, trying to think of something she could talk about or ask so she could get to know more about heejun. there were a few things she wanted to know about him, but she didn’t want her questions or conversation topics to come off as boring, she didn’t want to come off as boring.

“okay, well i’m going to ask you a few questions then so you’re not a total stranger anymore.” she gently nudged him, and then sat back, humming in thought. what were the things she wanted to know most that she could ask right now? “three questions for now, sound good? what’s your major? where are you from? and hmm,” she trailed off, wanting something that wasn’t too boring of a question. “how about you just tell me something you think i should know, does that sound okay?”

wang kai

kai felt as though his heartbeat was the loudest sound in the room, with the way it was hammering rapidly against his chest, he really wouldn’t be surprised if it was. he just stared nervously at miyeon, just waiting for rejection. it was probably a bad mindset to have, to expect something so negative, but he couldn’t really help it. the way he saw it, miyeon deserved way better than he could ever give her, and he wouldn’t be surprised if she saw things that way too and just kindly rejected him.

so when he heard and finally understood what she was saying, he just blinked, confused with her answer. she liked him too? he sat up a little straighter and continued to just stare at her, trying to process what she was saying. they had a mutual crush on eachother? yeah. they had a mutual crush on eachother.

he felt himself break out into a wide smile, reaching forward and gently grabbing her hand. “why are you so nervous? you already at least know that i feel the same way.” kai let out a soft laugh, not wanting her to think that he was laughing at her. that really wasn’t the case. he was just laughing at the fact they were so nervous to admit how they felt to one another, when they actually didn’t have to be nervous because they both felt the same way.

“we like eachother.” kai mumbled, mostly to himself, as he looked down at miyeon’s hand in his. he could really get used to this; having her in his dorm, talking to her, holding her hand, and just spending time with her. he really enjoyed all of it, and he hoped it would become a normal part of his schedule before he knew it. “now what? i mean, do we go out on a date?”

truth be told, kai had only ever had one girlfriend, back in his first year of college. but now that he looked back on it, they were really just best friends that got confused with how they actually felt for eachother. but that was beside the point, the point was that he hadn’t dated in a long while, and he didn’t know what to do now that someone liked him. was it okay to ask miyeon out on a date? sure, that would be nice and a great place to get to know eachother better, but some girls prefered just to talk before wasting their night with a guy on a date; he didn’t know miyeon well enough to know which option she prefered.

kwon soojin

soojin listened to heejun’s answers to her questions with a smile, occasionally nodding to show that she was listening. audio and video technology? that actually sounded interesting to her, so she was a bit surprised when heejun was quick to say that it wasn’t boring. she could only assume that other people had said it was boring to him before, which could explain why he was so quick to defend what he was studying. she didn’t blame him though, if someone said something offensive about the thing she was passionate about, she would want to be protective over it every other time it was mentioned. she would be sure to later tell him that she didn’t think it sounded boring at all, not even for a second.

and he was from pyeongchang, which was cool too. he was born a lot closer to her than her own best friend was, but she supposed that everyone from korea was born a lot closer to her than miyeon was, seeing as she was born in the states. but still, her and heejun were born a lot closer than she would’ve guessed, only three hours if she was remembering correctly, which wasn’t all that long of a time. she was just about to comment on that, but she realized that he still wasn’t done answering her questions, and he would probably end up asking where she was from too, so she stayed silent, nodding again to show that she was still listening to his words.

hearing his answers to her final question made her break out into a huge smile. she felt as if she was dreaming, he sounded so perfect. first off, he was so kind to her at the party, and now he was telling her that he also liked video games and hugs? it felt almost as if he was made just for her. she sat up a bit straighter as he asked her the same questions that she had asked him, eager to let him know that they finally found something that they had in common other than their roommates crushing on eachother.

“i’m studying zoology, i really love animals so i’ve always wanted to have a job that has something to do with them and well, here i am. and i’m from daejeon, which i think isn’t too far from pyeongchang, maybe we were meant to meet with how close we were to eachother, huh?” she let out a soft, light laugh, enjoying the feeling that came with being near heejun. she felt safe, like she had nothing to worry about around him, and she felt like she could be herself without judgement. it was a really nice feeling. she really enjoyed being around him, and she really hoped that he knew about how kind his aura was and how he just radiated such a nice energy.

“i like video games a lot too, maybe we should play something together some time, yeah?” soojin gently nudged him, a huge smile spread across her face. sometimes miyeon would play games with her, but it was nice to have found someone that was actually super interested in them like she was. “and i like hugs too, who doesn’t? but that’s just repeating the same things you said so, let me think of something else to tell you.” she trailed off for a moment, thinking of something interesting that she could tell heejun. it was times like this that she really wished she had a more adventurous life, maybe then she could tell him some funny, wild story. but she didn’t have anything, sorry heejun. “you know what? i’m actually kind of happy that you spilled your drink on me at the party, or else we would’ve never been talking right now. i mean, with kai and miyeon talking, we’d probably meet eventually, but i’m really happy that we started talking tonight and not some unknown time in the future.”

wang kai

(( it’s alright, take as much time as you need to reply! please get lots of rest though, don’t feel like you need to reply right away even though you’re tired, i’d rather replies not be as often rather than you be tired !! ))

kai smiled as miyeon spoke, nodding quickly at her words. she was right, it would be the right time to go on a date eventually, they would figure out when that right time would be when it came. really, all they could do is do what felt right, when it felt right. there really was no certain schedule or list of things that a relationship had to follow, they had to do things their own way, that’s the only way they would really be happy with what they had together anyways. “yeah, sometime.”

truthfully, after a good nights rest, a bit of sobering up, and taking the time to realize that miyeon liking him back was reality and not some amazing dream, he would probably figure out what the next step to take was. or he could at least ask heejun, since he was good with that type of stuff. but the point was that right now, he was just super giddy and almost too much in disbelief over the situation to actually think clearly. he so desperately wanted to come off as cool and like he knew what all the right things to say and so were, but that just wasn’t the case. he wanted to impress miyeon, but he couldn’t shake the way his heartbeat would speed up whenever he reminded himself that this was reality or the way his mind was fuzzy from the alcohol he had consumed earlier in the night. he just couldn’t be smooth when he was like this.

“hey,” kai spoke up, going off topic for a moment as he glanced over at the clock. it had gotten later, obviously that’s how time worked, but he didn’t want it to get too late for her to go back home or anything. “just let me know when you wanna head back home then, i’ll walk you back.” he looked back at her, then tilted his head to the side a little. “or maybe you could stay here? i mean, you don’t have to sleep in my bed with me or anything of course, but just in case you don’t wanna walk back so late. you could sleep on the couch, or actually you could sleep in my bed and i’ll sleep on the couch, my bed is more comfortable, after all.” he knew he was speaking a little quickly, but that was just one of his nervous quirks. some people went silent when they got nervous, he talked even more and even faster than usual. “just let me know what you want to do then, but um, for now we can just keep talking? i really want to get to know more about you, like your hobbies and all your favorite things.”

kwon soojin

soojin let out a soft laugh as she heard that heejun was competitive. she could only imagine what a competitive heejun looked like, how excited he would get if he won a game or how he would argue that he let the other person win if he lost; it was a rather cute sight in her opinion, and she really couldn’t wait to see for herself what it was actually like. “well, i’ll let you know that i’m a lot better than you would think, so be prepared to lose.” she was only joking of course, she wasn’t really the competitive type, she played purely for fun and didn’t care too much if she lost or won; she just wanted to see heejun’s reaction to her words.

she watched as heejun fiddled with his hands, flashing him a soft smile when he said that he still felt guilty about earlier. she was just about to speak up and tell him that it was alright, that he didn’t have to feel even an ounce of guilt for what happened, when he continued talking, and what he said had made her fall silent for a moment. not in a bad way though, really the only reason her mind had forced her to shut up was so she didn’t say anything that would be embarrassing. her cheeks were already heating up at his words, which was probably already embarrassing enough, she didn’t need to say anything weird or dumb to add to that.

seeing how he seemed nervous now too, she instantly wanted to clear the air between them and make him realize that she didn’t take his words the wrong way or anything. soojin let out a soft laugh and nodded. “you know, i really want to see you more often, too.” she brought a hand up to her face to feel her cheeks, letting out a soft sigh of relief as she realized she wasn’t blushing anymore. maybe seeing him get all flustered over his words made her feel a little better? yeah. “and i’d like to talk to you more as well, we already found stuff that we have in common and already know some stuff about eachother, we just can’t not be friends now.” she looked down at her lap where her hands now rested, shyly looking back up at him after a moment. it almost felt like he was saying all the right things, but he probably wasn’t saying it with the hopes as she had. he was probably hoping to be friends, she wanted to be friends too, but more than that eventually. she doubted he wanted the same things as her though. “what did you want to talk about? you must have something in mind, people don’t usually say they want to talk more without having a topic already planned.”

wang kai

(( he’s going to be internally freaking out about it for a long time honestly

i can imagine him just being kind of mind blown by the fact that she actually likes him and constantly asking her if she actually does like him, like even after years of being together, he’ll still be like ‘are you sure you like me?’ and whenever she reassured him, that yes she is sure and really does like him, he’s always just going to be like ‘wow i’m the luckiest guy alive’

i’m imagining that too now and honestly... big uwu

he’s going to just be torn between freaking out (because there he is with his long time crush sleeping on his shoulder, he sort of just wants to smack himself too, just to make sure it’s real and not some super realistic dream) and staying completely still and silent because he doesn’t want to wake her up, partially because that would be rude of him and partially because she just looks so pretty and peaceful when she’s asleep and he’ll probably just kind of be admiring her for a moment and as soon as heejun walks in he’s just going to turn into a blushing mess and will probably try to stutter out an excuse for why he was staring at her and trying to lie and say that he was always going to confess to her, he was never too nervous to do it (heejun will totally see through that obvious lie), he just needed to wait until the right time ))

kai nodded as miyeon suggested they talk about her going home or staying with him later. it wasn’t like it was time for her to leave yet or anything, not that there was a set time for her to leave, they had plenty of time until it was actually time for them to discuss where she would be staying the night. and they could use that time to talk, which honestly made kai wish that they never ran out of time, that the time for them to part ways just never came.

as miyeon went on to talk about how she was really into art, kai felt himself listening intently, as if she was giving him the most important lesson he would ever learn in his life. she was just so captivating, he felt like he could listen to her talk for hours about anything, it really felt like she could make even the most boring things sound interesting to him. but really, what he wanted to hear her talk about for hours on end were her interests; she sounded so happy when talking about them and her eyes lit up just a bit more than usual. it was truly a beautiful sight.

“that’s really smart. you saved money because you didn’t actually have to buy the things you wanted, and on top of that, you were getting exactly what you wanted. like, you could customize it to be exactly what you wanted.” kai was sure he’d constantly be blown away with how brilliant she was. he always was in class whenever she answered questions or whenever he saw her test grades, it was no secret that she was a highly intelligent person. even their professor had commented on it a few times, and of course kai had gone on about how smart she was to heejun; nearly everyone in his life knew how smart miyeon was. but even outside of academics, she was proving to be smart. kai would’ve never thought of making his own things to save money, but miyeon did. so, in his eyes, that made her absolutely brilliant. “you’ll have to show me some of the stuff you’ve made some time, yeah?”

when the conversation moved back to him and miyeon asked what he liked, kai instantly felt boring. the little insecure voice inside his head made him think that he didn’t have any interests that would be interesting to miyeon. he feared that she would find him boring and end up learning that he wasn’t what she thought he was and result in her taking back he fast she said she liked him. but kai had to learn to be a bit more confident, he once thought that he wouldn’t ever be able to talk to her and here he was having a conversation with her, he once thought that she would never like him back and she had just confessed to him a few minutes ago, and now he was thinking she would find him boring, but it would probably end up being the opposite of that. confidence was key. at least that’s what heejun always said.

“i know it’s not super interesting or anything, but i’m really into just like, helping people i guess? that’s part of the reason i want to be a teacher too, because i’m people people learn, but it always doesn’t have to be that serious or anything. i like making people laugh too, i’m not super funny or anything, but i still somehow manage to do it sometimes and i really like it. making people laugh is helping them be happy i guess, okay wow this is sounding more and more dumb the more i go on about it.” kai brought his free hand, the one that wasn’t holding miyeon’s, up to his face, trying to rub away the red color that appeared in his cheeks. confidence was key, but he seemed to have lost all of it as quickly as he gained it.

“ah, okay, ignore all of that. what do i like to do? besides make a fool of myself,” he let out a nervous laugh, letting his hand drop back down to his lap, and then continued, “since i like dogs so much, i like to go to the park or just walk around town. there’s always someone out with their dog, and people almost always stop and let you pet their dog if you ask nicely, so it’s a great way to meet cute dogs! i only started doing that the first year i came to seoul, it was unintentional at first, but the more i went out, the more i realized that there’s a whole lot of dogs here in seoul, so now i go out with the intentions of seeing dogs. they’re just so cute.” kai laughed again, although this one was more amused than nervous. “i used to drag my roommate heejun out with me a lot, but i think he’s gotten sick of me tearing him outside when it’s raining or super cold or really early just in hopes of seeing dogs, so i’ve been in need of a new partner. maybe you can come out with me sometime?”

kwon soojin

(( we have to make them go out on a double date, i’m just crying over how cute it’d be ))

soojin was really glad that heejun seemed like a natural born social butterfly, she always flocked to people like that, mostly because of her own social awkwardness, but also because there was just something attractive about people never letting things get awkward and always being able to come up with a topic to chat about. it wasn’t even just boys like heejun that she found herself being attracted to either, one of the many reasons that she had so quickly befriended miyeon was because of how big of a social butterfly she was. it was just so comforting, and she fit well with people like that. soojin hoped that since her and miyeon were the best of friends and got along so well, that her relationship with heejun would be the same, whether it be just friends or eventually something more.

hearing what heejun was saying, soojin crinkled up her nose and quickly shook her head, laughter flowing from her lips. “oh, do i look like an athletic scrabble champion? noted.” she gently nudged him, giggles still occasionally coming from her as she tried to gather herself. she wasn’t sure why he was able to so easily reduce her to a mess of amused giggles, red cheeks, and nervousness. was it because he seemed like a boy that she could only dream up with how he wasn’t only attractive, but also had a kind personality and heart and so much in common with her already? probably. that was probably it. curse heejun for being so wonderfully wonderful and cute. soojin would probably transform into a little giggling tomato by the end of the night if he kept making her blush and laugh like this.

“well heejun, i’m really sorry to ruin that image you had of me, but i’m not athletic nor am i very good at scrabble. but, i do like to read books a lot. and watch movies. and don’t even ask what my favorite is, because it’s impossible to choose a favorite, especially since i read so many books and watch so many movies; i really like just about anything.” soojin shrugged, a smile stretched across her face as she spoke. it felt so easy to talk to him. sure, there was that lingering nervousness that came in the form of making her heart speed up whenever he laughed or smiled, but overall it felt like she had known him for years, like she could tell him anything without any worries. he was comforting to be around. “oh, and i don’t mean to brag or anything, but i am a really good cook. you’ll have to tell me your favorite food so i can make it for you sometime.”

deciding that she spoke about herself enough for the moment, she decided to turn the conversation back to him. besides, she really liked hearing him talk, his voice was soothing, it was really nice. “what about you? it seems like you like to go to parties, especially with how much fun you were having,” she paused for a moment, weighing the possible outcomes of her saying that it was cute, seeing how much fun he was having, but she ultimately decided against it. she was never too good at flirting, and she couldn’t even tell if this was the best time or place to do it. “but what else do you like to do?”

wang kai

(( it’s all good, take as much time as you need to reply, i never mind the wait!

kai, after miyeon takes more than .5 seconds to answer him: oh she definetly hates me doesn’t she ))

kai had really thought that it would be impossible for him to like miyeon any more than he already did, but the more he spoke to her, the more he ended up liking her. and seeing the way her face lit up and hearing her laugh, that was enough to tell him that she really had already claimed his heart. it wasn’t like he was in love with her, it was way too soon to say anything like that, but he was obviously very invested in her. and seeing how shy she got at the idea of him seeing any of her art, well that was just downright cute. if it wouldn’t be embarrassing, he probably would’ve just squealed over her right then and there. did she have any idea what she did to his heart? “yeah, i want to. you’re really talented at everything else, i would think that it’s the same story for your art, so i’d really like to see some of your art. but only show me when you’re ready to show me, alright? i don’t want you to feel like i’m forcing you to show me any of it or something like that.” honestly, kai felt like he could wait a lifetime to see something she created if that’s the amount of time that she wanted him to wait. maybe it was way too soon to say, but he felt like he would do almost anything to make her happy.

and it seemed like she was saying anything just to make him happy. or, actually she was just really good at saying the right things and making him happy in general. he really hadn’t been expecting for her to say something about him was sweet, nor did he expect for her to say that something he did was amazing; they weren’t really compliments per say, but he was still blushing as if she just gave him the most compliments anyone has ever heard. she just had that affect on him. she also had the ability to make him nearly embarrass himself, hearing that she was willing to go walk around and see cute dogs with him had him very tempted to say ‘well it’s a date’, but he could only see it ending with him embarrassing himself terribly and her laughing at him or being weirded out, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.

thankfully, miyeon carried on the conversation. “no, i’ve never actually had any pet of my own yet. but that just makes meeting all these dogs even more important, it’ll help me figure out which breed works best for me for when i actually finally get a dog of my own.” kai was sure he didn’t need actual reasoning behind why he liked going out and seeing dogs other than him liking dogs, but just in case miyeon secretly thought it was dumb or childish of him, he was going to keep adding on reasons until he was sure she didn’t think that way. which would probably be never knowing how he was, but oh well. there wasn’t much he could do about suddenly becoming insecure around girls.

“what about you though, have you ever had a dog? or actually, have you ever had any pet?” he was sure that miyeon probably had to have had at least one pet in her life, most people did anyways, even if it was something as small as a fish. kai was pretty sure he was a rare case, never having a pet at all by this point was something that tended to surprise people. and he just really liked hearing people’s pet stories, he had heard tons of friends gush about how their dogs learned new tricks or how cute their cats looked when they slept, and he always enjoyed hearing every single one of them. but he was sure that if miyeon told a pet story, he would enjoy it a little more than usual. “you should tell me about them, i like hearing about childhood pets since i missed out on having that kind of experience.”

soojin really couldn’t believe how easy it was to talk to heejun and how much they were getting along already. she hadn’t ever really had a bad experience talking to someone, she was usually good at picking out people that she just knew she wouldn’t get along with too well and just avoided them, but she hadn’t ever really clicked with someone like this before. the closest thing she could compare to what she was experiencing with heejun was when she met miyeon, but it was a little different than that. maybe because she was attracted to miyeon in a ‘i want to be best friends for life’ kind of way and she was attracted to heejun in a ‘you’re clumsy but you’re also super cute’ kind of way.

“guess we’ll just have to cook together at some point then, i’ll teach you some tricks of mine.” she knew that there probably wouldn’t be any situation for her and heejun to be cooking together any time soon, but putting the idea of it on the table just felt good. the idea of her and heejun actually being in a kitchen cooking and making eachother smile and laugh and blush like they were doing now just sounded nice, and she wanted heejun to know that they could totally do that. she really wanted to do that.

as the topic moved back to heejun, soojin found herself smiling again. talking about herself was hard sometimes, but listening to others talk about themselves was something that was easy and something that she had always enjoyed doing. “that’s a good point.” she commented, mainly to herself. could he get any more perfect? he was cute, funny, had the same interests as her, and now he knew how to have fun all while being smart about it at the same time? he was like a dream come true. “for the dogs? that’s really cute.” soojin could only imagine what it looked like, two guys going to the park just to go see dogs, and in her head, it looked really cute. she hoped she would be able to see it in person one day, and who knew, maybe that could be something that all four of them did together.

“well next time you’re free, let me know. we should go and do something.” soojin froze up a bit after hearing herself. did it sound like she was asking him on a date? she didn’t really know, but if he took it that way, she hoped he didn’t take it the wrong way. she wasn’t very good at flirting, she wasn’t smooth or romantic or anything, she was quite the opposite actually, so she hoped that things went well no matter how he interpreted what she said. “but before we get ahead of ourselves and think about what we’ll do next time we’re together, let’s focus on now, yeah?” the words were totally only directed at herself, and she was really only saying them out loud just so she had a bit of time to think of what to say next. she really didn’t want things to get awkward between them when they were just going so well. “you’re a really good friend though, you know that? you listened to kai always talk about miyeon, and you were even working on helping him talk to her, and you go along with him to do little things like that. anyone would be lucky to have you.” those were just little things, but some people weren’t willing to do even the tiniest of things for their friends, so knowing that kai had someone as amazing as heejun almost made her a little jealous. almost meaning that she knew she actually had the best friend of them all. “how did you and kai meet anyways?”

wang kai

(( now you’ve got me picturing a tiny kai with a big dog and i’m in tears

also i just imagined kai coming over one day to surprise miyeon and he sees her dancing in front of the mirror and he’s just like ‘oh my god are you actually okay’

but they really are so cute, i love them so much and only want the very best for them ))

it seemed as if the two of them had a lot of things to look forward to. a date, her showing him her art; and okay, maybe it wasn’t that much to look forward to, but it was a whole lot more than he ever expected to experience with miyeon, he always thought she would be the cute girl from class, and now here they were being talkative and friendly and even having a date somewhere in thejr future. “i’m looking forward to it.”

as miyeon went on to talk about her cat, kai nearly gasped just from how cute the image of miyeon and a fluffy little cat sleeping together looked. “i know i sound really biased towards dogs and all, but now you’ve made me consider getting a cat too, i’ve always heard they were jerks, but i guess that’s just some kind of joke, isn’t it? i never thought they would actually want to nap with someone.” it was true, everywhere on the internet he always saw the same ‘cats are assholes and dogs are angels that we don’t deserve’ posts and as someone who hadn’t really interacted with cats too much, he just assumed it was true because so many people said it. but hearing miyeon tell him that cats could be cuddly and enjoy taking naps with their humans, well it really made him think about it, and really, there was no way that people would like cats so much if they were really all that bad. now, he wanted to give a cat a chance too. maybe someday he would get one, and hopefully it would take naps with him and be an absolutely joyful addition to his life.

“ah, that makes sense why you’ve only ever had a cat.” kai nodded slowly, understanding it all now. at first he was confused, it seemed as if miyeon absolutely adored dogs just like he did, and hearing that she had pets, but never a dog, was surprising. but hearing that her mother was allergic made sense as to why she never had one before. “that’s cute actually, you really love dogs.” even if she was allergic she would still get one? wow, she really did love them. and really, it seemed as if the more he talked to miyeon, the more perfect she got. not only was she absolutely gorgeous, but she was also very intelligent, funny, adorable, and a dog lover. she was really turning out just to be his dream girl, and the best part of all of this was that she actually liked him back. kai would never figure out how he managed to get someone like her to like someone like him, but he would be forever grateful for it.

“well, we graduate soon, so looks like the time for us to get our own dogs is soon too. i’ve always planned just to get a dog after i graduate and find a decent place.” it was strange, he was able to share his future plans with miyeon so easily even if they had really only started talking tonight. sure, it wasn’t that big of a deal since it was only his plans to get a dog and nothing too intimate to share with someone, but it was still a big deal to kai, since as said before, this was really their first time talking. everything just came so easily when it came to miyeon, she made him nervous and all blushy, but it was also super easy to be himself around her.

“that’s actually all i’ve thought about for after graduation so far, which is bad, i know, since graduation is coming up quicker than we realize, but i guess i still haven’t figured out completely what i want to do. like, obviously i want to find a good place to live and start teaching, and get a dog of course, but i just feel like there’s other things i want to do, i just don’t know what i want yet. does that make any sense?” kai was never someone that was really good with words, so explaining himself was usually a huge chore that never really ended well for him. but it seemed like miyeon could figure him out, so he hoped this time wasn’t any different. all he knew was that he knew the very basics of what he wanted to do once his college life was over; get a job, get a house, and get a dog to keep him company for when his friends would be doing adult stuff. but it just felt like there were other things he wanted to do, but he just didn’t know what they were. it was like having a strong desire to travel but not having anywhere specific planned out, or being super hungry but not knowing what you were craving. he knew he wanted to do something else before he really jumped into life, but the answer to his desires hadn’t come to him yet.

“i’m sure i’ll figure it out though, or at least heejun will help me, he’s usually the brains in our friendship.” kai shrugged, and then widened his eyes in shock and apolgogy when he realized how much he had been talking about himself. and not even in an interesting way, it was more just rambling about his inner thoughts. “what about you though? do you have anything special you want to do after graduation? like, maybe you want to go on some wild road trip with all your friends or maybe you want to go back to visit america for a little.” he was really interested in what miyeon would say, maybe it was just because he was utterly infatuated with her, but anything she said was interesting to him.

kwon soojin

(( soojin and heejun need to get into a kitchen and carry out heejun’s cute fantasies asap ))

soojin carefully listened to heejun’s story, not only was she genuinely interested, but she felt like it was something important to know. she always felt that it was important to know how people met their best friends, especially if you wanted to be friends with that person. she wasn’t sure why she felt that way, it was just something she always felt ever since she was a kid. and of course, since she wanted to be friends with heejun, she had to ask how he met kai and turned into his best friend.

for some reason, she was expecting some cute story of them being childhood friends or heejun moving to school and kai helping him and showing him around, so to hear the story start off with them only meeting in college was a bit of a surprise. as she continued listening, she couldn’t help but let out an amused laugh. kai had thought that heejun was stealing from him? and heejun was just trying to be a decent guy and return the stuff kai had dropped? that must’ve been quite the day, and it was a wild start to a friendship. “he thought you were stealing from him? oh my god, he’s really something else, isn’t he?” it wasn’t meant in a rude way, it was more of just saying that kai truly was unique, which was a great thing. she really couldn’t wait to meet kai, if someone like heejun was friends with him and if someone as amazing as miyeon liked him, then he was probably a great guy too, and hearing all these stories just confirmed the idea that it was great to be around him.

speaking of miyeon, heejun was going to eventually meet her too, and that was exciting to think about. her favorite person meeting the person she’s starting to develop a little crush on? it sounded amazing, two important people in her life hanging out and getting along was important to soojin. “speaking of friends, miyeon is going to totally want to meet you the second i tell her about you. i’m actually surprised you two haven’t met yet, i always thought she knew everyone.” of course that was an exaggeration, as much of a social butterfly that miyeon was, the campus was much to large for her to have met everyone who attended the school. “but i’m really excited for the two of you to meet, i already know you two are going to get along really well.” soojin wasn’t the most social and didn’t have the longest list of friends, but the people she did have in her life were extremely important to her and the idea of the people she loved being able to get along and spend time together without her was something that she cherished.

soojin stretched her arms above her head and then relaxed more into the couch, feeling more and more comfortable with heejun as time went on. there was just one bad thing about getting more comfortable now, it was getting later too, which meant there was a higher chance of her just passing out, which she really didn’t want to do while heejun was here. but on the other hand, she didn’t want him to leave either. good thing talking usually kept her awake, and her and heejun really could talk all night. at least that’s what she thought, she jusf couldn’t get bored of him and could listen to him talk for hours. his voice was so calming and his words were so interesting; everything about talking with him was perfect. “you should come back over one day, we can play some video games and then maybe around dinner time i can show you how to cook something new?” it was just a suggestion, but she hoped that he said yes, then it would turn into something she was excited for. “then maybe we can watch a movie or something.” she shrugged, hoping to not come across the wrong way, like desperate or suddenly clingy. she just liked spending time with him and wanted to be able to do it again in the near future. “and i’ll have to go over to your place now, it’s only fair since you got to see where i live.” one way to make sure they would spend time together again soon? make plans, which is exactly what she was attempting to do.

wang kai

(( when she tells him that she was just dancing he’s just going to be like ‘well at least now I know what i’m getting you for christmas; dancing lessons’ ))

kai nodded along with miyeon’s words, understanding everything that she was saying. well, maybe he didn’t understand how stressful and demanding the life of a psychology student was, but with the way that miyeon described it, he could tell things weren’t exactly easy. “now that you mention it, i really don’t want to go straight into working either.” sure, he was passionate about what he was studying and he was excited to finally be able to do that for a living, but he was still young. he had a lot of energy and youth that he wanted to put to good use before he finally settled into the life of a responsible adult. even if it was something small like taking a short vacation with heejun or something big like taking a roadtrip and traveling to as many places as he could in a year, he wanted to do something before it was time to settle down.

“i understand what you’re saying though, and it’s totally okay to feel that way. i mean look, i feel that way too so you know you’re not alone. i’m sure over half the people graduating with us feel the same way.” kai was extremely good at talking, it seemed as if he spent more time talking than breathing, but even with as much as he spoke, he was never really good with advice or giving verbal reassurance. still, for miyeon, he would try his best. “i think it’s normal, i mean we spent most of our lives in school, and now suddenly it’s all over, i think we’re all a little scared and confused, this is probably the most normal feeling we can have right now.” kai would have to be sure to as heejun about it later, he would know what to say to someone in the same situation as miyeon. and kai really did want miyeon to feel better about how she felt, and he really wanted to help her settle on what she wanted to do after graduation. it wouldn’t be easy, but he still wanted to help her. it really was no fun being clueless and lost.

“we’ll both figure out what we’re meant to do with our lives soon enough. i just know it.” kai flashed her a soft smile, and then feel quite, allowing himself to just listen to the sound of their breathing. it was nice, the silence wasn’t awkward at all, it was more calming and relaxing. they had talked quite a bit, at least for people who just met. and it felt really good to have quietness between them even just for a few moments. “are you getting tired?” he asked suddenly, hoping that he didn’t startle her with how suddenly he broke the silence. “I don’t want you to feel like i’m keeping you here or anything. as much as i like talking to you, you can go home if you’d like.” kai found himself looking around, hoping he didn’t make things awkward or break the good flow of conversation they had going on. “um, if you want to stay for a little longer though maybe we can watch a short movie? it’ll give us a break from talking for a little, i’m sure you’re a little tired of talking by now and you probably have a headache from the party anyways.”

kwon soojin

hearing that heejun had seen miyeon around but hadn’t actually talked to her was a bit surprising. like she said earlier, she knew that miyeon didn’t actually know and talk to everyone, but the girl was a social butterfly and seemed to have had a short conversation with most people at least once, so knowing that miyeon and heejun probably saw eachother around but never actually interacted was something that she never expected. but she really couldn’t label that as too weird, knowing that kai and miyeon had been in the same class all year but never really spoke until tonight, but maybe that was just because miyeon liked kai and he just wasn’t some guy to her? soojin really didn’t know, and it wasn’t anything too major, so she just decided to move on. miyeon was talking to kai now, that’s what mattered, and she would end up talking to heejun eventually too since soojin was planning on introducing the two of them to eachother sometime.

“oh yeah, we’ve known eachother for a while.” soojin nodded, smiling fondly at the memory of how her and miyeon met. the reason behind them starting to talk wasn’t the best, but in a way, she was glad that it had happened because now she had the most perfect best friend that anyone could ever ask for. “we met in elementary school actually. when she first came here i thought everyone would flock to her and want to befriend her because she was the cool new girl from america, but for some reason nobody really talked to her much. so, i took the opportunity and befriended her, and we’ve been best friends ever since.” it really wasn’t a cute story, considering the reason she started talking to miyeon was because she seemed strangely unpopular, but that was okay. their meeting didn’t have to be cute, all that mattered was that they were friends. besides, it wasn’t as if kai and heejun had a super cute first meeting story either, so soojin didn’t feel so different from them.

when heejun asked if she was okay, soojin quickly nodded her head. sure, she was getting a little tired now that it was getting a bit later, but she didn’t want heejun to have to leave just yet. she wasn’t that tired and she certainly wasn’t done talking to him yet. the only way she would let him leave is if he wanted to, not because of her being a little tired or anything like that. “no, no, i’m okay, i promise. it’s just been a long day, i’m not too tired to talk or anything.” she began playing with her fingers, hoping that doing so would help keep her mind occupied when she wasnt talking or listening so she could stay awake and not get any more tired.

“i really like talking to you, i don’t want you to leave just because i’m a little sleepy. if i get too tired or something though, i’ll let you know.” she would’ve left it at that, but of course the insecure part of her mind was thinking that maybe heejun was trying to take her yawning as an opportunity to get out of here and away from her. “unless you wanna leave though, i don’t want to make you feel like i’m forcing you to stay.” if heejun wanted to leave, she wouldn’t object. she would bid him goodbye and hope to see him again soon, but if he wanted to stay, then she would continue to talk to him. it didn’t matter either way, just as long as she had a chance to see him again. “you’re not too tired or anything either, right?”

wang kai

(( that’s so cute :,)

i’m very convinced that you love to make me and yourself suffer ))

kai felt rather relieved to hear that miyeon was okay and not too tired to stick around and keep talking to him. it probably sounded really selfish, but he loved talking to her and just having her around. he really didn’t want her to leave just yet, not when he was finally starting to build up more confidence and comfort as time ticked by. “i won’t worry too much, i promise.” he mumbled in reply, squeezing her hand softly. for a moment, he had forgotten that they were holding hands, it had just felt so natural and so normal that it was as if they weren’t even doing it. he could really get used to doing small, cute things like that with her. holding hands, talking about their worries; kai was really hoping that it was all a start to more intimate things between them. and with a date coming up eventually, he felt like it wouldn’t take too long until they got more comfortable with eachother and were able to progress things. and even though he was eager for this progression, kai would still take things slow. he didn’t want to rush and possibly ruin things between them, and he would always be sure to respect miyeon’s limits and never go out of her comfort zone. he liked her way too much to even chance making her upset or angry or uncomfortable.

when the conversation shifted to watching movies, kai felt himself smile. as much as he liked talking to her, he could tell she was getting tired and still had a headache from the party, so watching a movie will hopefully not consume as much of her energy as talking did and hopefully also take her headache away. plus, kai just really liked watching movies, especially with cute girls, so this was a win-win situation. “oh, i like any kind of movie really, i’m not too picky. as long as it’s entertaining, i can usually get into it.” he replied, but still thought about what types of movies he really liked. he knew he liked a few sci-fi movies he saw, but that was never really a genre he was in the mood to watch. it that type of movie was on, he would watch it, but never went out of his way to find one to watch.

“but i think action movies and romantic comedies are my favorite. i just think action movies are really cool, i’ve liked them since i was a kid. i always picture myself in the main characters shoes, just doing really cool stunts and stuff like that.” usually, kai would be too embarrassed to confess something like that to a girl, but he felt comfortable around miyeon. like he could really be himself. and besides, if she didn’t like his more childish side, then things wouldn’t work out for them, and he figured it was better off to find that out early on rather than later. it would hurt a lot less that way. “and romantic comedies are just nice, i think it’s the kind of genre anyone can like. like there’s super cute movies, and movies that should probably just be called comedy movies.” he shrugged, leaning forward to grab the remote off of the table. he figured he could turn the tv on while they chose what type of movie to watch. “what about you, what kind of movies do you like?”

kai glanced up at the tv, but still made sure he would be able to hear her. just because he was pulling up the long list of movies they could choose from didn’t mean he didn’t want to concentrate on her answer. besides, it was a rather important answer since that would help them narrow down the list of movies they could watch tonight. “like i said, i like just about any kind of movie, so even if you don’t like romantic comedies or action movies, we’ll still be able to find something we’ll both like.”

kwon soojin

soojin nodded in understanding at heejun’s statement, she had always felt as if she wouldn’t be able to be best friends with anyone other than miyeon, at least not be as close with anyone else as she was with her, so to hear that heejun was able to see that the two of them wouldn’t be able to have the same kind of friendship with someone else wasn’t too surprising. even if he had just met her and hadn’t heard much about her friendship with miyeon, sometimes it was just easy to tell how easily two people got along and how much they genuinely loved and cared for one another. and it was kind of funny really, he saw that in her and miyeon and she saw that in him and kai.

the topic of friendship was changed to making sure they weren’t too tired to stay up and keep talking to eachother, and soojin didn’t mind at all. she was just glad that heejun cared enough to check on her to make sure she wasn’t getting tired, just like she cared enough to check on him. besides, it wouldn’t be any fun to talk to someone who was falling asleep. it was a good thing they were checking on eachother. “i’ll let you know if i need some sleep, and you let me know if you need some sleep, okay?” that sounded like a pretty fair deal. and she was also pretty happy to hear that thanks to the alcohol he had been drinking earlier that he still had some energy left in him. as much as she knew they would eventually have to part ways, she was really enjoying talking to him and wanted to spend as much time with him as she could. maybe it was a bit weird, it was only their first time talking, but she already felt attached to him in a way. like they were really meant to meet tonight and become good friends.

“let’s not talk too much about being tired though, i feel like we’ll jinx ourselves and end up getting super tired just from talking about it.” soojin shifted a bit, thinking about what else they could talk about since they had pretty much gone over the basics now. she never really talked to someone this much after first meeting them before, so this was pretty new territory for her. she didn’t want to reveal too much about herself or anything like that, because then wouldn’t future conversations be bland? befriending new people wasn’t an easy thing for her, but she was very glad that heejun seemed like an absolute angel and would understand this and go along with any boring topic she came up with.

“besides, i’m sure there’s way more interesting things to talk about besides worrying about being tired and stuff.” she let out a soft laugh, shaking her head at her own dumb self. sometimes, she couldn’t believe how dumb and embarrassing the things she said could be. it was as if she wanted to see herself make friendships fail before they ever even started. “like, how we both have best friends who aren’t from here. it’s cool that they’ve got to see such different places, but have you ever traveled to another country or anything like that?”

wang kai

(( rip to us then!

also i was thinking that maybe a timeskip should happen soon, just so we’re not dragging this all on? i know you said that it would be cute if miyeon ended up falling asleep on kai’s shoulder and heejun walks in on it the next morning, so i was thinking that those two would just end up falling asleep while watching the movie and maybe heejun could end up just accidentally falling asleep at soojin’s place so that could be the reason heejun doesn’t return to his and kai’s dorm until the morning? unless you had another idea of course !! i was just throwing an idea out ))

kai perked up a bit upon hearing that miyeon wasn’t picky with her taste in movies. it wasn’t like he ever imagined her to be the type of person who was super picky and specific with their tastes, but it was nice to see that they had more in common than he had originally thought. plus, if she wasn’t picky with things, it would be much easier to impress her, which was always good on his end.

he listened as she went on to say that she usually ends up watching recent movies, that was understandable. they were usually the movies that were found the easiest, plus you could always talk about the movie with others if you wanted, since most people watched recently released movies. “yeah, i totally get that. like, if i’m really happy i’m not going to purposefully go and find a sad movie, why would i ruin my good mood like that?” he shook his head softly to try and emphasize his words, glancing back at the screen as she asked if he saw any interesting looking movies that were recently released. “mhm, there were a few ads that i’ve seen on youtube that looked pretty good.” kai began to look through the list of options they had, in search of some movies that he had seen advertised. surprisingly, there wasn’t any ads for movies that instantly made him bored or think it looked dumb; everything looked pretty decent from their ads. he just hoped that was a reflection of how the movies actually were.

“there’s this horror movie i saw being advertised recently, it actually looks scary.” he mumbled, glancing over at miyeon and deciding that now wasn’t the best time to watch a horror movie. sure, they would probably end up basically cuddling if one of them claimed that they were scared and wanted to be held or something, but wasn’t it just a little too soon to try something like that? and besides, it was pretty late, and kai didn’t need any jumpscares keeping him awake for the rest of the night, that would be super embarrassing. “there’s this other movie though, it’s this super interesting romantic comedy, we should watch that. it was actually just made into a korean movie, it was originally a chinese movie and i’ve seen that version, but we can watch this new version without any subtitles or anything for you.” with this option, he already knew he was choosing something actually worth watching and not accidentally choosing something that miyeon would probably hate. plus, he had been wanting to watch this more modern version of a movie he had grown up loving, so in his eyes, this was a perfect choice. as soon as he found it, he turned to miyeon and smiled a bit. “so do you wanna watch it? i promise it’s not super cheesy or predictable or anything.”

(( at first i thought the plushie was a penguin because i didn’t see the top part of it’s head and i was like ‘where’s it’s eyes ??’ i’m blind lmao

but he is honestly just so cute, i just want to cuddle him ))

soojin was glad that their conversation continued on smoothly. it was as if no awkward silence had ever occurred. she listened to what he had to say, genuinely curious about any stories he had about his travels, she even smiled just a bit wider upon seeing him flash a rather cute smile, not that she could ever say that to his face. at least not now anyways. she occasionally nodded as he spoke to show that she was listening, letting a soft laugh replace her silence as he mentioned thinking the trip was horrible because he spent his time learning. soojin could only imagine how adorable a little heejun was, wanting to go off and explore but instead being stuck learning about something he didn’t care about at the time. was it weird to imagine something like that? hopefully not. but she really couldn’t help it, especially seeing him now blushing over the memory.

“me? well, i’ve been to jeju a few times, i have some family that lives there.” soojin hummed softly in thought, wanting to produce a more interesting story than going just barely off the coast. heejun had gone to a whole different country and all she had said was that she went to an island that was still part of their country, didn’t that make her sound boring? “but i’ve never really been further than that. i really want to travel though, i’ve actually planned to take a year after graduation to just travel to as many places as i can possibly afford. i don’t really mind what the destination is, i feel like i can have fun anywhere for the most part. but japan is one place i’m for sure saving up to go to, i’ve always thought it looked super pretty from all the pictures and videos i’ve seen. and i know japanese, i think it would be cool to talk to people who are also fluent.” she shrugged, feeling boring again. she was sure that heejun didn’t want to listen to her ramble on about her dreams of traveling. “greece too, i’ve wanted to go there since i was really young. i’m just interested in the culture and stuff.” soojin made sure to keep it short and simple, her cheeks starting to slowly turn pink from how she thought she could be perceived as boring.

“what about you, what places do you want to see one day?” she asked, tilting her head slightly, purely curious as to what his answer would be. did he want to go to New york city and be surrounded by crowds of people or did he want to go to france and try famous foods? where people wanted to travel said a lot about a person, at least it did in soojin’s eyes. “oh, and you should tell me about what japan was like! even if you said it was totally boring to you as a kid because it was educational, i’m sure there was at least one fun thing you did there, right?”
