Lack of initial reaction was taken as a clear and concise "yes" (what else could it have been?) and, as such, Ji Soo proceeded. There's a slight jump upon their eyes meeting, but it did nothing to deter them! In fact, it only seemed to captivate them further. Only when he took one (why was he so fast about it... hm!) step back was when they tipped their chin slightly skywards, eyes squinting in acknowledgement.
If he needed space then, well, he could've just said so! There's a staunch lack of communication in today's times, that's what Yoo Ji Soo's been noticing! Oh well. So be it. They don't need to move-- only adjust.
"Hmmm..." they hummed in response, head canting a millimeter or so to the left, eyes not breaking away (not even to blink.) from his. "If you weren't interested, I feel like you would've--"
With a sharp bend at the waist, both of their hands reached out, grabbing at one of his own to hold up in a nice, tight squeeze. Pay no mind to the slight struggle that occurred in the midst of it! That wasn't important. Ji Soo's nails lightly nipped at what bare skin there was, though were careful to apply pressure via their palms and nowhere else. They smile.
"--run away by now, though."
