You remind me of my ex. Vile and intolerable.
“if your ex is anything like me she must be super pretty.” usually in a scenario where she was boosting her confidence she would be beaming anything in similarity to a smile, yet his explicitly was potent enough to cause her to grimace into an initial scowl. and normally, if she didn’t know someone well enough she would certainly feel quite offended right now too. but there wasn’t that problem with junhoe, no– the only problem here was his lack of filter and obscure way of showing his sincerity to others. even to suji, the girl who was always nothing but sweet to him. sure, she had a mean retort planned out in her head, the continuation ‘also super smart, creative, and successful. basically… everything you aren’t,’ nearly falling off the tip of her tongue– but she was too nice for that. she was always too good to him. which maybe wasn’t such a bad thing.
“now, tell noona how much you love her so she can give you a big hug.” she wasn’t giving him the option to oblige either, her arms were already extending outwards by the time her sentence was halfway complete. “come here!”
