... 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.
[he'll go to sit with gu yun then, glancing over at the tv]
And were you looking for some cool lines from a movie?
he will allow this, though, come on, you might as well. gu yun scoots over to make space for him to sit. ]
No, I'm just trying to see the appeal in them, is all. I thought it might be distracting. [ he will offer forward the flowers to be looked at, though, if he really wants. purple irises and osmanthus, very pretty. no meanings because i refuse to do that ever again. they're not combined or anything - he was trying to pick between the two. ] I like to think I'm decent enough at coming up with 'cool lines' on my own.
[ ... ] If that were a thing I was trying to do. [ sighs ]
[ he thinks no wonder we were able to solve this week's case it was gay drama
but doesn't say it because that just happened and it's too soon.
after a long pause of gaining his composure and also choosing the right words. ]
... It's for last week. [ ... ] Despite the fact that he went and did the precise same thing I did, I did make a promise and I intend to follow through on it. Though, the jewelry part is excessive, considering the lack of resources, but I'll figure something out.
[ so mineo's observation's right on the money, actually. it was sincere. ]
I'm going to shove these flowers in your mouth in about half a second.
[ he is clearly not going to do that ]
No. [ the romcom plays on in the background ] We're - [ local weenie can't even say the friends word because hes a WEENIE ] - I'm just trying to follow through.
anyway. there's a longer beat, and he follows mineo's gaze, then sighs. ]
... 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. ]
[mineo looks at the screen and his expression brightens immediately before he turns to gu yun and laughs]
I mean.... why are you even asking why? It's sweet, right? I think that even if some people will put up a front or something, everyone wants to experience a little love.
What is it the poets say. 'When it thunders over snow, when the snow will fall in summer, when the Heavens and Earth combine, not until then will I ever part from you'? I suppose even I've got a few of these romantic stories memorized.
[ what else would the flower of the northwest do? of course he does! it seems frivolous, really - and it is, but in reality, he was just a voracious reader, even if military tactics were always more his style.
there's a little fondness on gu yun's face. mineo... puppy. ] Ahh, so, the scholar who studies the war, but doesn't perform the art. Never been in love yourself, Mineo?

That's coming from you...

I - Look. Someone was just - I owed someone an apology, and they asked for flowers. [ that doesn't explain the romcom watching either ]

Ah.
For Molly, huh?

no subject
[he could at least recognize the sheer horror of realizing someone's gone missing given how when takeru -
well.]
Are you apologizing for something real, or is this some kind of teasing game?

So are you dating now?

glances at the romcom again
looks to gu yun]
Do you wish you were?
no subject
[ he is clearly not going to do that ]
No. [ the romcom plays on in the background ] We're - [ local weenie can't even say the friends word because hes a WEENIE ] - I'm just trying to follow through.

Ohhh.
Well, I'm rooting for you! Be careful!
[WAS HE LISTENING (he was listening to the TRUTH that gu yun can't bring himself to say)]
no subject
baps him gently in the head with the flowers ] Playing deaf is my thing.
no subject
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 ]
no subject
[glancing at the flowers again]
I mean, Molly's pretty great, so I can't say I'm surprised....
no subject
[ (unsure)
anyway. there's a longer beat, and he follows mineo's gaze, then sighs. ]
