[ oh good. that's fine. gu yun is not stomping but he is walking very quickly. he watches mineo just like, fall off the couch but he was on his way over there anyway so maybe the compulsion doesn't kick in because of it.
he drops down to the ground where mineo is on both of his knees and grabs his dumb little face and is ready to grab both of his cheeks and start tugging them for BLABBING THINGS
.... however then the kindness curse kicks in so he's just like. holding his face in his hands. looking very frustrated like he wants to say something and can't say it. please hold awkwardly like this for a moment as he attempts to fight off this stupid compulsion ]
he did not think this through at all. this is an extremely valiant fight that he is losing. the pause stretches on longer, longer, longer
and eventually: ] Thank you for caring - [ oh god he wants to fucking die no he clamps down on saying that before the end of the sentence even gets out of his mouth. there are no ways to stop this kindness compulsion though, because he just tilts mineo's head in a vaguely downwards direction (the gesture's a little jerky) and
plants a kiss on the top of his head instead of finishing his sentence.
and just kind of freezes there like a deer trapped in the headlights as this plan just fails worse every five minutes ]
mineo is at least aware of what the effect is this week so he's just more absolutely fucking bewildered than literally anything else that's going on. he gets a kiss on the head? okay.
[ this is the fucking worst effect in the entire world. he still has his cold hands on mineo's face and god he wants to pinch his baby cheeks and bully him but NO
eventually. from where he has not moved. (it's a little muffled and quite possibly through his gritted teeth.) ] Do not ever tell anyone about this, yesterday, or the day before because I appreciated that you came to check on me, because no one does that for me, and I would appreciate it more if you would not tell anyone. Especially not Harrow. Who I am aware that you spoke with.
[ that's
close enough he releases his face and takes a step back like a startled animal and attempts to re gather his dignity ]
.... sorry - I just felt like if anyone would already know, it's Harrow-san. We were talking about the curse and... well, she seems like she's the closest to Molly and would actually see the two of you together. [he does look a little guilty!! but he thought he'd at least explain the reason why harrow knows] I didn't tell her anything about the romcoms or the bouquet, though.
But Harrow-san would also mind her business about that sort of thing, so I don't think you'll have to be too worried about her getting involved...
[mineo's actually the most likely!
but he will actually - this isn't even the fucking effect for the record - he will move to actually kneel down in front of gu yun and bow so deeply his forehead touches the floor]
Sorry if you thought I betrayed your trust. I take that seriously, so let me know how I can make it up to you.
anyway when he just bows like that gu yun waves his hand, making a face immediately - ] Stop, stop, it's fine -- stop that, who am I, the emperor? -- I forgive you.
[ he has absolutely no idea what to do with that kind of sincere apology at all so he just kind of squats down in front of him, a little embarrassed by. all of this. normally he'd bully him into saying something good to make up for it but compulsion means he's behaving himself... kindness week is terrible.... ] Just don't bring it up to anyone else and promise you'll forget about the last fifteen minutes of conversation we just had. That's enough. Alright?
