Sekyung watched with intense focus, briefly distracted from her hunger. By the time he was done she was impressed and fascinated.
“How much more can you do with your ability? I bet with abilities like that you could become one of the greatest thieves in the world! Walking through walls and protection systems like they’re nothing and just steal whatever you want…” She bit her lip and looked down, embarrassed that such words came out of her mouth. She had read of many great burglars and had always admired the skill and intelligence they possessed to be able to perform such difficult tasks.
“Have you ever seen Ocean 11 or any of the sequels? You could easily outdo all of those movies once you’ve honed your ability enough, and you wouldn’t need a huge team, just you and a couple others. You’d easily be remembered as one of the greatest men in the world who did the unthinkable…” She was quickly distracted by the arrival of their food and she immediately put her hair up; when it came to food she meant business and she didn’t want anything in her way, including her own hair.
Dongwoo just listened to Sekyung talk. He could see from her reaction that she was amused by his ability, but he’d never gotten that reaction before. Someone telling him he should use it to rob banks? Well, that was definitely a new one.
Sure, Dongwoo had known things like that were possible for the phaser, and he knew people would instantly assume that on their own, but Sekyung was the first to actually voice her thoughts. As well as sort of encourage him into it. He was no criminal though, and since he’d lived most of his life without ever experiencing great wealth, he was sure he could manage the years to come in the same manner.
“I’m not sure to the extent of what I can do.. but I’ll experiment until I master it. I’ve come close to being able to phase other people through things too, but that’s still in the experimental stage as well.” A soft smile tugged at his lips when he registered her embarrassment, though, he didn’t really see anything she could have to be embarrassed about. She was just speaking her mind.
“I can’t say I have, actually. But I doubt i’d be able to pull off a heist that could rival a movie. I’m just one man..” And truthfully, he was scared to. He didn’t have enough of a motive, wasn’t bad enough for it, and his guilt would ruin him anyway. So, he didn’t give it a second though.
Not that he could with the food arriving anyway. He began eating, drinking, chewing, swallowing, and moved onto the second dish within the first ten minutes.
(/ grins and nods, puckering out his lips for a kiss as if to seal the ‘agreement’. he smiles warmly as soon as he’s hugged back, clutching the other tighter while letting out a sigh of relief, chuckling softly as he is kissed back ) you’re amazing. (/ runs his hand up and down the other’s back, enjoying the moment before opening his eyes again and glancing around, letting out a laugh ) uh, jagiya… we’re still in the shower. (/ laughs and grins at the other )
(/shakes his head, laughing softly and seals the agreement with a light and chaste kiss placed against the other’s lips, smiling foolishly) .. You’re amazing. (/breathes in deep, feeling every part of him relaxed before he looks around, copying the other’s reactions, and laughs when he realizes the shower’s still running) Should we turn it off? We didn’t exactly clean.. (/shrugs a shoulder, not sure what he’d prefer, and leaves it up to the other)
I’m happy with Hoya… and I know I like him.. (/nods) I’m sure.
(/chews on his lip, looking down, and nods again) A-Alright… if you want.
“Me?” He innocently supplied as his fingers also ran through Dongwoo’s soft blue hair. “I love you very much too.” He admired the blue a little longer until he happened to notice a shift in Dongwoo’s expression. Seyong was wary enough that he knew a look like that promised something he probably wouldn’t like. Worryingly, he touched his own hair. He was proud of his red hair. He worked hard to maintain it and he wasn’t exactly keen on having anything done to it. … Not that he had completely disregarded those same feelings Dongwoo had about his blonde hair.
“Of course,” he mumbled as he looked towards Dongwoo’s shampoo bottle. It would not fade as long as he kept using that particular bottle.
Instead of dwelling on it, Seyong curled his arm around Dongwoo’s elbow and pulled on him. “Let’s go out and enjoy your hair. Ice cream? Soju? Anything? … You do know that I love you, don’t you?”
Dongwoo laughed softly, obviously amused at Seyong and his worrying over his hair. So, Seyong understood. Knowing Dongwoo, though, he probably wouldn’t have the indecency to do anything to his bestfriend’s lovely hair. However close he thought he could come to it.
A soft sigh escaped the older man and he looks to the redhead tugging on his arm. “Yeah, yeah. I know you love me.” And as much as Dongwoo thought about it, about how the two actually came to be so close, he loved Seyong too. “Ice cream and Soju sounds… weird, but good.” His arms curled around Seyong and he squeezed tightly for a second before the smell of hair dye hit his nose. “Ick, that stuff stinks. How long until it’ll smell like my hair again?”
Cotton candy..? (/blinks, confused) .. Anywhere? (/shrugs a shoulder and holds his hand up, counting on his fingers)
(/tilts his head, tapping his chin in thought)
“It’s not that bad.”
(/becomes wary at the mention of ‘hyung’ — there’s only one person he knows who calls him that — and nods. He doesn’t know if he truly believes it, but he knows he’s at least superficially happy)
n. the habit of forgetting how important someone is to you until you see them again in person, making you wish your day would begin with a “previously on” recap of your life’s various plot arcs, and end with “to be continued…” after those will-they-won’t-they cliffhanger episodes that air just before the show goes back into months of repeats.
