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 ]
And here I thought we were bonding. [ oh my god, you're really too much, mineo. gu yun snickers a little, tilting his head to look at that flush on his neck rising with the interest of a shark seeing blood in the water... ]
Ever end up giving a bite back? You don't have to tell me who, but that I am curious about. [ wehehe ]
It's not so bad to be experienced. It'll mean more when it means more, right? Perhaps not a first, but the sentiment will, I imagine, still make it feel that way.
[ the tease is very lighthearted, and he leans back against the couch, setting his bouquet weapon down on the ground. there's a relaxed pause, amusement still in the air. ]
...By the way, if you tell anyone about this, I will make you regret it. [ he's. joking. probably. ] Your maidenly heart can keep secrets, yes?
[ that's like the closest he's actually going to admit to the fact that like 85% of what mineo said was right. read between the lines love detective ]
[ . . . . yeah he's not. struggling with this at all. he convinced himself of what was going on as soon as it started and it would've been harder to pull him off the track.
so.]
..... I mean, I guess?
I just thought you'd be more straightforward about your feelings, Gu-san.... It's your business and I'm not the type of person to just air that out, but.
