@nuttaela: where we left off.
The male idol looked up from his seat with his infamous blank face when she heard the female talked to him as they were no one else closer than them both, he lifted his arms up before breathing in his scent from both sides, moving his gaze back up to her with a questioning look, totally not getting what she meant by pine needles smell, don’t even know what it smells like. “W-what do you mean? Is it smelly? Am I that bad?” he bombarded her with questions, not wanting the other to get a bad impression of him as this is their first encounter with each other besides from their schedule. “ But thank you for the compliment.” He offered her his boxy smile with a light nod.
In the first place, Joohyun couldn’t figure out how she ended up speaking her mind instead of just keeping her thoughts to herself. It was one of those rare moments where her mouth, who most often did not know how to filter, overcame her shyness. Sometimes, it was definitely a good thing, but humiliation struck her at the male’s reaction, mouth falling open slightly as her eyes widened. “A-ah...that wasn’t supposed to be an insult, I swear!” She hid her mouth behind her hand, not knowing how else to explain herself. She figured she could at least tell him why it was a compliment, though. “Pine needles...smell really nice and fresh. Like freshly watered leaves...or leaves during a morning dew. They use it for car fresheners, too.” She smiles after the justification.
