Doctor said it’s because of my flat feet…
He asked how I live with these feet…
And how on earth I perform with these feet… hahahahaha
So I replied with
“With passion”
Hahahahahhaahhahahahahahaha
i’m down bad for hyunjin and chan, but like in a healthy way. i don’t think im going to marry them, i actually don’t think im ever going to meet them. i do think some people here think that, even if they say they don’t and i worry for them because that’s an isolating and unhealthy mindset. no idol is the perfect man or perfect match for you, you don’t even know them personally. talking about it for fun, finding similarities and compatibility for fun is okay, but when you stop looking at the people around you as people and only associate them and compare them to kpop idols i fear you have completely lost the plot. i think you guys should maybe try to connect with more people, like ACTUALLY people around you.
“…and he stood you up?” hynjn asks loudly, both because the music in this bar is booming and because it’s a ridiculous concept.
“yeah.”
“you?”
“yeah,” flx repeats. “for the third time: he stood me up, unmatched, and now i’m on my third pink gin and you’re here. if you’re going to be an ass, just leave so i can lick my wounds in peace.”
hynjn protests animatedly and then, when flx is seemingly back to his quiet sulking, he takes a sip of his beer, and says, “i think he’s done you a favour.”
flx looks up at him, chin resting on his palm. “bro, cut it out,” he says, “or i’ll put this straw in a place it should never be in a human body.”
there’s no actual bite to the threat, they both know it, but…flx thought there was some potential with that guy, you know? the banter was solid, they seemed to agree on most important topics and, god, was he hot. like, a proper stunner: lithe, wide shoulders, gorgeous smile, slightly taller than him (if his profile was even real at this point).
flx gulps the rest of his gin down and sighs.
“what i meant,” hynjn leans in a little as he says it, “is that if a guy is stupid enough to lead you on and then just ditch you, you don’t need that in your life. have you seen yourself? i know i would never do this to you. the guy is either a catfishing mountain troll or realised you’re too good for him.”
flx peers up at his friend. hynjn holds his look calmly, unnervingly serious and calm, takes another sip of his beer.
he’s pretty, flx thinks absentmindedly, he’d never be stood up. not when he’s tall, has a body of a greek god, smells like a dream and is, in general, one of the best guys out there. anyone would be lucky to have him.
flx blinks and shakes his head a little, trying to get rid of whatever this train of thought was.
he coughs before standing up. “well, i don’t remember you ever asking me on a date, so…your point is null. okay, i’m going to buy us another round.”
hynjn catches his wrist as flx moves towards the bar. “would you? go on a date. with me.”
flx more so sees hynjn saying that than hears it, the other’s voice is rather soft in his earnestness. the atmosphere shifts, and, although he is pretty sure no one gives a damn about two dudes in a crowded bar, flx can swear everyone got quieter.
“stop it, you dolt,” flx chuckles, his mouth suddenly dry.
“i’m serious, flx,” he says (how is he this calm?!). “don’t you want to try? we’ll be amazing. and if not, we’ll just pretend it was a fever dream and go on as usual, yeah? just two mates against the world.”
flx searches hynjn’s face, finding relaxed honesty and something else he is not quite ready to name yet.
“yeah, alright,” he breathes out. he’s tingly all over. “but we’re not going to one of your arts&crafts clubs on our first date or so help me god”
hynjn grins so wide and bright that flx’s whole chest swells. then, hynjn places a kiss on flx’s hand like it’s the most normal thing in the world. wow.
“okay, no pottery, no batik, no nonsense,” hynjn nods before letting flx go. “go grab the drinks and then we’ll scheme and plot our date instead of world domination for once.”
flx laughs.
they’ll go on a date. what a ridiculously fabulous concept.
