! -- jiaheng smiled almost nervously, near
regretting the impulse that had caused the
compliment to spill from his lips. while he
tried to remain stoic, his smile widened at
the cute reaction he received, eyes following
the man's hand as it fell over his chest. a
chuckle then escaped his lips, albeit a little
shaky, as nerves still lingered in his mind.
he greeted the stranger's face -- just as
cute as his mannerisms, jiaheng thought --
with a little wave, surprised when his hands
were taken by the other's much smaller pair.
he couldn't bear to look away from how the
boy's eyes sparkled with something jiaheng
had seen before only from fans; how had he
become deserving of such a gaze with only one
short, stuttered compliment? ❝ You're very
welcome, ❞ he started, itching to scratch the
nape of his neck. ❝ Me? Hah, no way.❞
