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?
Aw. I'm sure your time will come. [ says gu yun who has never had anything like this ever in his entire life. ] Even the latest blooming flower is still a flower!
[ he's allowed bully rn. the universe actually gave us a kindness effect because gu yun is picking on mineo. it is very good natured, though, teasing because he's flustered. cute. ]
well despite the fluster.... he seems to look a little bit more serious at that? hm.]
... I think that people should do whatever they want here - whether that to be to just get their indulgences, or if they find love, I really am happy for them. I think people are also a lot more... well, flexible than I am about their emotions.
But...
I think that if I were to love someone, I'd want to give them all of me. I... can't really do that while I'm here? So.... I'm not really looking.
[ there's a long pause. like he's thinking it over. thinking, thinking. ]
...I think that's a very you answer. [ and his return response is surprisingly pretty sincere, too. at least, gu yun sincere. it's a little twinkly and teasing, like always. ] Both of those were, really, but perhaps this one more.
Don't get too used to it. [ with a huff of a laugh. ]
You're a little bit of a maiden, you know. [ yea there's the tease. still pretty fondly. ] But, I don't think that's a bad outlook to have.
I suppose I'll tell you a secret, in exchange. [ for all of the teasing. ] I had my first kiss here. And if you tell anyone about it, I'll curse you for a thousand years with the Gu family curses. [ that's not real ]

I think that your actions speak waaaaay louder than your actual words, Gu-san.
Like - that's what's deafening.
