what we deserve.
Hearing Joohyunâs laugh only serves to help the swelling of Taeyeonâs heart towards the other girl. She liked that she seemed to be more comfortable with her as time had gone on, and she couldnât be more happy about that. Well, maybe if they were âofficiallyâ dating, but she would never push the issue, she liked Joohyun enough to not scare her off.
Hearing the other describe her like that made her cheeks turn a bit pink as they often did with the other girl. âI suppose you would recognize a pretty girl since you see one in the mirror every morningâŠâ she replied back, hoping it was more on the flirty side than the cheesy side she was sure it was on. She wasnât used to this sort of thing, she hadnât really been on dates before and wasnât sure if she ever did anything rightâŠbut Joohyun hadnât stopped texting or calling and so she thinks she must be doing something right. Joohyun made her feel wanted, and that in of itself was something that she wasnât sure would ever come.
She couldnât hide her smile feeling Joohyunâs touch as they shared the menu. It was subtle, and gentle and it made Taeyeon wish they could be more affectionate. It was hard with them both being trainees, both being girls, it was something that if they got caught, it would not end well for either of them. That being the case, these small touches were perfect.
The sudden excitement from the other girl is quite welcomed and she gets lost for a moment looking at her pretty features. âShabu shabu? Of course! I canât even remember the last time I had that, actually. Do we want anything else? Anything to drink?âÂ
joohyun isnât affectionate, not anymore. itâs a piece of her that got lost when she handed her heart to the wrong person. rationally, she doesnât believe that taeyeon would misuse her heart if she was to give it to her in its entirety but the mere idea makes her scared. not only that, but joohyun fiercely believes that taeyeon deserves better. she deserves someone open to love and that could show affection to her easily. she deserves someone kind and nice and not rude and aggressive such as joohyun. granted, the girl came a long way when it comes to her temper, but itâs still not enough.Â
therefore, it always comes as a surprise when she sees herself being affectionate to taeyeon, even if subtly. she curses herself mentally but doesnât bring her hand back. she figures it would only hurt taeyeon even further.Â
(and again, when did she start to care about other peopleâs feelings?)
she allows herself to be distracted by taeyeonâs voice and the menu in front of her that makes her mouth water. the brunette thinks for a moment or two about the drink. they could go for non-alcoholic, like they always did, but joohyun is no longer a minor. her eyes sparkle in amusement when she looks back to the blonde girl.Â
âwell, we can have soda, orrrr....â her smile grows. âwe could have a bit of soju since i am an adult now.â she chuckles a bit. âor maybe somek? that way soju tastes a bit less like poison.â
