"You said to be honest. Stop hitting me." -Tae @thefutureisminetochoose
Shay looked at Tae, a playfully devious smile across his face. âBut Taeeee ⊠itâs fun to mess with youuuu.â he teased. âCanât I have just a little bit of fun? Pretty please?â he asked the vampire. âItâs not like Iâm hitting you very hardâŠâ
Tae scoffed. âAs if a hit would hurt me. You are just annoying and messing up my clothing.â He stated, fixing his jacket. âBesides, I do not understand how telling you I like Audrey makes you hit me? Do you like her too?â He asked worriedly. Â
âAnnoying?? Me?? Nahhh, you must have me confused with somebody else,â Shay said, sticking out his tongue. âAs for Audrey, nope. I see that worried look on your face. Sheâs all yours, Tae. I donât wanna take that from you.â Shay told him, taking a slightly more serious tone. âIâve noticed you stealing glances at her. Itâs honestly kinda adorable.â
Tae let out a laugh and relaxed. âIt is that obvious, huh?â He suddenly sat straight up. âWait, what if she knows? If you know, does she?â He let out a few curses in Korean. âMaybe she doesnât like me, or she thinks I am gross, or evil because of the vampire thing. Humans do not like vampires, what if she thinks I am evil?â Tae pulled his knees up and rested his arms on them, hiding his face behind his arms.Â
âTae, buddy, chill out. No need to freak out like this. If Audrey really thought that way about you, then why would she ask me about you? Answer me that,â Shay calmly told him, smiling and unfurling his wings.
Tae looked to Shay hopefully and a bit suspiciously. âShe asked you about me? Why?â
âI guess because Iâm the one she trusts the most about this?? I honestly have no idea. But she did have this hopeful expression on her face. And her tone just screamed, âOh, I hope Shay says something good about him. I see a lot of potential in Tae,â or something like that. Dude, what else do I have to say? Sheâs totally into you, man!â Shay told him. He couldnât deny it: Tae and Audrey would be such a cute couple.
Tae smiled when Shay finished his explanation. âWow, I-I did not know she felt that way. I should go talk to her right? See for myself if she truly likes me?â He asked himself before turning to the half dragon. âThank you, Shay, I owe you.â He pulled the man into a tight hug before heading off to find Audrey.
