" a little out of place, are we?"
QUEEN MUNJEONG’S BIRTHDAY SENTENCE PROMPTS ━ @dalyonghan
wooseong’s eyes flick to the older man. they haven’t interacted much, but he’s heard the stories - if anyone’s heard the stories about yonghan, he has. in complete honesty with himself, wooseong almost feels like a child around yonghan. he’s face to face with someone who may or may not be a lot like him - only older, wiser, and maybe even more charming.
“i could say the same to you,” he says, finally, voice giving away none of his nervousness. if anything, wooseong sounds almost cocky. that won’t do either. “but then, it takes a specific type of person to enjoy these kinds of events, from my experience. for most people… they’re always a bit of a drag.”
“not to speak badly of her majesty, of course,” he finishes with a thoughtful tilt of his head, eyes flickering around to see if anyone else has just heard what he’s said. the last thing wooseong wants is for someone to think he dislikes the very woman they’re all gathered to celebrate - he’s just trying to make conversation with the one thing every person loves to do: complain. “no, if anything, this is one of the better, er, celebrations i’ve been to - i haven’t been to as many as yourself, though.”
he looks at yonghan again. there’s something a little dangerous in his eyes, his smile shines in the evening light. “care to tell me about any in particular that stick out in your memory? i’m afraid i’ve heard your recall is… impressive, and i can’t say the same for myself in the slightest.”
