... it's because I'm me that I've been trying really hard to be good, Gu-san. But... I'll admit it's hard - when you can't really control your own heart.

No, I'm just trying to see the appeal in them, is all. I thought it might be distracting.

... Do you know, I knew about Harrow and Molly's trap early? I found out first thing on Friday. Not Thursday night, or earlier in the week, mind you. I asked Harrow why they didn't tell me before that, and the answer wasn't because she thought I was untrustworthy, or that she thought I was going to kill someone.
It was because she thought I'd tell the same joke Molly did. [ the one that got him drowned on wednesday. there's a smile on his face as he's recounting the story, so. ]
It's pretty obvious that you're important to each other, at least... So why're you watching romcoms? Still looking for inspiration on what you want to say?
You're probably right that Molly would prefer words from the heart anyway, so you don't need to borrow any lines...
Maybe a little closer to a primer of what not to do. [ that's the closest answer you're getting. ] You like these sort of things, don't you, 'lifetime learner'? Why?
[ gu yun gestures at the screen, as something utterly ridiculous and very romcom happens. ]

I think that your actions speak waaaaay louder than your actual words, Gu-san.
Like - that's what's deafening.
no subject
[ this is more playful, now, especially getting him to laugh. you can laugh at his funny jokes and not his stupidity thank you ]
