{‘the outstretched hand is pulled back with a sheepish grin, slipping from the girl’s hand slowly. it’s then shoved in his jeans pocket, and his other hand too, as he thinks of something to say to make it up for his previous words.} It was a compliment. But yeah, like… I wouldn’t date someone ugly. Unless they’re very pretty inside, but usually, if you’re pretty inside you become pretty outside too… {‘realizing what he’s saying is not anything better, he decides to just give up.} I hope so too. Well, since I saw you staring at me while I was trying the new PS4, or video cakes as you call them, I was wondering if you’d like to play with me? I’m sure you were looking at me because I’m hot but I thought you might be interested in a game too.
{ ` ; his explanation is messy, and if she could say so, quite dumb– no it wasn’t dumb the right word, it was unneeded? or just confusing? soojung couldn’t tell which one and since she would never need to answer to shut a question, she prefered to shut her trap and just nod at kai’s words. } I see…not understand, but I see. { ` ; and she answers the truth, but it’s sure he wouldn’t give it much more thoughts as she wasn’t giving too. his question, and the tone he uses on it, catches her a little off guard though, and soon there’s another expression - an excited one - covering her features; too much for her to notice his cockiness showing off once again. } Would you teach me, really? It looks so cool, but so hard…I still would love to, though.
I believe it’s all alright. {‘he grins, all white teeth and crinkles in the corners of his eyes. if he isn’t trying to charm her, then who knows what he’s truly up to.} Of course I do. It’s not really my name, but that’s what you’ll be calling me. {‘a hand slides into the pocket of his jeans as the other is outstretched in her direction for a handshake.} Kai. It’s really nice to meet you, Soojung. You’re really pretty so it’s going to be so cool being your boyfriend.
{ ` ; she tilts her head as she looks at his smile, her nose wrinkling a little at how perfect it was. no, it wasn’t the right word - charming was the word, and she knew it well, because she had a neighbor who could give the almost identical smile as this man’s, but not to girls like her. } Kai? { ` ; she questions, repeating him. in other occasion, someone else might have asked his real name, but it didn’t matter when she didn’t have one too, and just a title to call him would be enough right now. raising her hand to take the one he stretched out, she held it and gave the best of a firm shake she could, but the scoff that left her lips couldn’t be hidden or helped. } Real cool to be my boyfriend because I’m pretty? Well, I hope we will spend a good time together at least, Kai. Would you have anything you’d like to do?
Yeah, video cake. {‘he mocks, holding back a chuckle as he turns around so he’s facing the red-haired girl again — not quite understanding why she made him turn around in the first place, but he doesn’t ponder the thought for too long. finding the giggles that escaped her lips quite endearing, he doesn’t pay much attention to the fact it’s quite weird someone wouldn’t know about video games to the point of being unable to name them correctly. instead, his lips stretch into an amused smile that makes his nose scrunches up a bit, looking pleased when he’s referred to as ‘boyfriend’.} So what’s my girlfriend’s name?
{ ` ; the fact that she can see he is almost laughing at her doesn’t make her less nervous, and her bottom lip sticks out a little, making her attempt to smile fail miserably. slowly taking her hands from his sides, to drop them to rest them on hers instead, she gazes at his side. } Soojung Jung…Sorry ‘bout that. { ` ; her lips parts in a half-grin, still some kind of an embarrassed one. she clasps her hands behind her back before taking a deep breath and looking up at him once again. } You? You do have a name right? I can’t call you videocake’s addicted forever.
{ ` ; she blinks at the man in front of her, eyebrows raising slightly. he was somehow familiar, tall and with dark hair messed up like this - she was sure she had seen him before. the curiosity and the suspiciousness takes the best of her and wins over her politeness; the mermaid only gives him a small smile before she places her hands on his sides, gently making him turn around so she could see his back - it is large, and he had broad shoulders and that’s when she knows and can’t help but let out a noise of excitation. } I know you! You’re always playing on that thing on the store…How is its name? Video…cake? Video… { ` ; pursing her lips together, she gets lost with the words, never sure what is right and what isn’t when it comes to technology. and she spends some time with the thought, what makes some nervous giggles come out of her red lips. } …Hello, boyfriend.
