@sunscoped asked: a rare moment, where jung dae-ho actually looks nervous. twidling his thumbs and looking around, looking anywhere that seonghwa wasn't. " uhhhhh, hyung. quick question like ━━━ uh, what sort of . . . person does jihyun hyung like ? like personality and stuff. and if someone was gonna get him something, like a gift . . . what sort of stuff would he want ? yanno, just asking for like, a friend. NOT ME ━━━ HAHA. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ME . . . but like if it was do you think he'd like me back ?? "
there's an air of curiosity coming from seonghwa as he peers over at dae-ho, patient while the other struggles to choke out his question. he figures because of the scared aura the other carries with him, that this was something that meant a lot to him, though he couldn't decipher what exactly was on his mind. that is [ ... ] until the younger brings up jihyun and his interest in men and his brows raise in surprise as he clicks his tongue thoughtfully.
"well, i guess hyung likes people who are kind and gentle ... he wants someone he can have a conversation with, you know? on a deeper level. he's the intellectual type⸺so he wants someone who's smart like him, even if it's not academically. you don't have to be a scholar, but you can't be a total idiot. just have a topic you're super knowledgable in." he clicks his tongue. "he likes people who can make him laugh, they also have to like animals. he's got a cat who he literally raised like his daughter. if you don't like her or she doesn't like you? that's a total deal breaker for him. you also have to be someone who will let him coddle you because he's such a mother hen. it's annoying sometimes but ... it shows how much he cares for you."
"as for gifts, he's an artist so get him new pens to work with for his sketchbook, or since he loves to paint, go above and beyond and get him a whole new set of paints. i think he likes watercolors? or get him stuff for his cat."
there's a brief pause. eyes are widening in realization.
"holy shit dae-ho, don't tell me ... you actually like hyung that way? oh my god i have to tell cheol-min immediately."
then comes the series of nods and a bright grin.
"of course he would like you back! you're the sweetest guy ever, there's literally no reason why he wouldn't say yes to you. you just have to be bold and ask him out first! get him flowers, chocolates ... the whole sha-bang. well⸺maybe not chocolates, thats something i would like, but he really loves fruits. his favorites are pineapples so you can bring him a platter or bowl of those and he'd be happy."
