Woosung’s hand grips Lukas’ arm just that tiny bit tighter as he tries to diplomatically shove his way past a bunch of older women huddled together in the street, pointedly sighing as they get by. He lets out a soft snort as he reaches up to adjust his scarf, grumbling in response to Lukas’ words.
“Yeah, I know. Which is why those aunties should know better than to just hang around in the street. If we did it, we’d get yelled at, but…” Trailing off, Woosung grumbles incomprehensibly into his scarf until Lukas surprises him by twisting around in his grip to give him a smile that would put the radiance of both the sun and moon to shame.
This kind of thing is really not good for his heart, but if his last sight is of Lukas smiling like that, it wouldn’t be a bad way to go.
As he listens to the older boy’s (slightly hesitant) proposal, Woosung can feel a grin of his own growing behind his scarf and he pulls it down without thinking. He almost wants to squish Lukas’ cheeks and tell him not to be so endearingly adorable, though he has enough good sense to refrain. Honestly, though. How the hell had Woosung managed to luck out like this?
“Bro, are you kidding me? Of course we can go to a themed cafe!” he crows, flapping his free arm a little in excitement. “I haven’t gone to one in ages, I mean I have no shame when it comes to these things, I don’t mind going in alone. But I haven’t had the time lately, y’know, with our workload on all that…” Realizing that he’s about to go off on a tangent, Woosung quickly stops himself and tilts his head slightly. “What kind of themed cafe were you thinking about, hyung? An animal one? ‘Cause there’s a few good ones around here, one of them is a sheep one! Or there’s cartoon themed ones, like Snoopy or Hello Kitty, though I get it if that’s not your thing.” He pauses and then pouts as a though occurs to him.
“….There used to be a Lego cafe around here too, but it closed down a few months ago. I’d have brought you there, ‘cause isn’t Lego a big thing in Denmark? I thought it might be nice and remind you of home….” he says, not fully comprehending his own words, too disappointed at his plan being foiled before he could ever enact it.
pulling a grimace at woosung’s addressing random middle aged women on the street as ‘auntie’ lukas had to admit that this was one point he’d always find weird about korean honorifics. it was rude not to use them but if he ever dared to call a random stranger back home ‘auntie’ he’d be in for a world of pain. the poor ladies would probably be incredibly confused and very offended to say the least.
“what can we do about it?” he asked with a shrug of his shoulders and leaned closer to woosung so he wouldn’t be overheard by any of the so called aunties. “i mean when you get older your body isn’t as functional so it’s not their fault they’re slowed down by age.” this was said with a small wink before woosung’s face lit up in excitement, much more so than he could ever have anticipated from such a simple and slightly embarrassing request.
listening to the other going off lukas had never imagined that such a fondness for the subject resided within his ‘date’ and he could only stare in amazement and endearingly at the other as he listed off the opportunities. mouthing a whoa, lukas became aware of the world he was daring to step into. the knowledge woosung seemingly possessed in this particular area was surprising, but amusing and interesting to say the least.
“sheep? in a cafe?!” he repeated unable to believe his ears. yes, he had heard of dog and cat cafes and heard about japanese maid cafes but that was about it. he didn’t even know there was such a vast variety. this was getting much more interesting than he had ever hoped to imagine.
“oh, there was one?” lukas asked about the lego cafe, a bit saddened to hear the news of its disappearance. he had always enjoyed playing around with lego from when he was a child, and would also sit around with the children in the kindergarten and build stuff before moving here. it could have been fun to see how a country so foreign treated something he had grown up with. “oh well, nothing to do about that! thank you for thinking of me like that though, i appreciate it. really.” he reached over to give woosung’s shoulder a quick squeeze.
“it’s kind of hard to be reminded of home in any way here,” he admitted a bit bashfully. “but this is my home now and i have to get used to it like that. so i’m counting on you to show me all the nice things there is out there, okay?” as he spoke, lukas sent the other as bright a smile as he could muster. “which is why i want to see what kind of cafe you find interesting! i want to get to know you much better from here on out, woosungie.”
