SHE WENT OVER THE LIMIT. friday knows this fully well, can tell by the way her body sways without permission, ground under her now bare feet swaying back and forth like a pendulum; has her arms stuck out like a flightless bird trying to balance on solid ground. too much. but it didn’t matter, well to be fair after the nth cup nothing hardly matters. though friday is at least lucky that she had a predesignated walking buddy. that at the end of the night, she has someone to cling to on the walk back to the dorms. a kind, forgiving, big-hearted-meaty-chested (ed? is that a word? it is right??) buddy who did not seem to mind in the slightest that she threw him into a tree. whew.
or. friday pauses to watch him walk a couple feet ahead rather than beside her (OR maybe YOU’RE slowing down, friday!!), her spelled platforms skipping alongside him. maybe he does.
well, that’s not really second male lead of him.
“kangdae!” she whines, tongue thick with childhood’s accent; one that so naturally slips out whenever the two are alone. “kANGDAYDAY!!” friday repeats, this time in nearly belligerent english, body hot despite the crisp night chill. she takes a minute to tug off the hoodie she had stolen prior, tying it off around her waist. by the time she was ready to yell a third time, the caped giant was already within breathing distance, eyes held with a certain concern that friday is either unable to read or bothered enough to process.
instead, she lifts onto her toes to slap her hands against his cheeks, tugging him down to eye level. “i have something to tell you.” friday speaks slow, trying her best to sound coherent despite the heaviness of her tongue. this is a serious matter after all. she’s been holding it in all night after all.
“i—” she pauses, eyes flicking around to make sure the coast is clear. this is, after all, something that should only be heard by kangdae’s ears alone. and, suspicious of any eavesdropping shrubbery, her hands drop to reach for the sides of kangdae’s cape, flipping them over both of their heads to lock under her chin for a makeshift “privacy bubble”. yeah, because certainly nobody will be able to hear her under this.
"i,” friday meets his eyes, pupils blown and teeth sinking into her lower lip. confession of the century? it certainly feels like it. “i...stole all the licorice wands at the dessert table.”
