HE SHOULD’VE EXPECTED AURORA TO BE SO FUCKING CUTE AND EVIL AT THE SAME TIME. whenever he’d be angry at her she’d smile one of those bright toothy grins. the kind that makes him stop and stare. how could he ever be mad at her when she’d do donald duck impressions and tug on his arm like that? that didn’t mean he appreciated the reenactment. sophie was one of the girls he was with to get over his jealousy of augustus. but he had to hand it to them, they nailed the impressions. the two even used one of their actual conversations. it was ‘the kiss me and fuck me’ one and not the polishing the motorcycle twenty five times. that one was a slight exaggeration.
taewon’s eyes widened and he blinked with surprise when augustus scooped aurora up so easily. probably to match height. and then fake made out which was really them just rubbing their cheeks together aggressively. it made them look like cats. or that augustus was trying to give her a stubble burn. it was really hard for taewon to hold back a laugh. he almost felt like he should clap or appreciate their performance. but he kept staring at them with crossed arms.
“why don’t both of you bite me?” an addition to the kiss-me-fuck-me with a roll of his eyes. “you know i can abandon you two clowns here, right? i can leave you here and never look back. I’m almost tempted to, so stop it.” but he couldn’t hold back his smile.
“it’s not like you two were any better in cambridge.” it was revenge time. his smug smirk showed it all. “what did aurora use to say? oh right!” he cleared his throat. “he’s so annoying but he’s so hot.” his payback was imitating aurora. “you’d go on hours and hours about his ‘piercing’ deep eyes, his broad shoulders, his smirk, and even the way he would look smarter than everyone else. what the fuck is that supposed to mean? and you’d give each other googly eyes all the time. it was gross.” that should get the point across. “so we all had really embarrassing past relationships in that cursed university. can we all move to the lodge now before we become TV dinner for the demons? if i’m gonna be a mean it’ll be gourmet and not frozen taewon-pop.”
Silence seemed to blanket them for a moment and the distant sound of howling winds became a lot more discernible. Think of it as metaphorical chirping crickets. Well, they ought to have expected that reaction from Taewon.
“ That’s a record time threat to abandon us in the middle of nowhere, Aana, ” Augustus couldn’t help but note. “ I guess we didn’t lose our touch and I think that’s beautiful. ”
“ He sounds like Jack, ” Aurora interjected, a frown etched on her forehead as if she were suspicious. “ Maybe someday we’ll finally be abandoned somewhere and then we’ll have to assimilate with a pack of rabid raccoons or possums. ”
It was predictable and understandable that Taewon would now seek vengeance. The two glanced at each other for a moment and back at Taewon with two pairs of big blinking eyes. However, the very next moment, an insolent smirk tugged at Augustus’ lips.
“ Aww, pudding cup ! You used to gush about me ? ” he mocked her with exuberant delight and ruffled her hair. “ You think I’m hot ? Of course, you did, look at me. But more importantly, you admitted that I am smarter than you ? ”
“ Well, here we fucking go. Thanks, Wonnie. ” sarcasm dripped from her tone. “ No, you’re not smarter than I am ! Also, you forgot about the annoying part, sweets, ” Aurora said with a roll of her eyes.
“ Shush, shush, ” he shoved a finger to her lips and she made a face. “ I’m intelligent and hot with my broad shoulders and piercing eyes, ” he dramatically ran his fingers through his hair while looking at no point in particular. Aurora did as well, but she looked more exhausted.
“ Which smirk was it though ? ” he turned to both of them. “ My ‘ I’m smarter than you and your future generations ’ smirk or my ‘ You wish I was your boyfriend, ’ smirk ? ”
Aurora stared at Taewon with wide eyes. “ You had to inflate this man’s ego ? It’s already the size of the fucking Tarantula Nebula. Now, you appease it by telling him which of his smirks is the hottest. ” That should be an interesting job. “ But calm down, we’ll go to your dumb lodge, ”
Another knowing glance was shared between the double-trouble before they both ran towards Taewon and both held an arm before dragging him along. “ We love you, Wonnie, ” said in unison.
