Maybe this is one of the reasons Sunhee has such difficulty making friends: she doesn’t know how to handle them.
Most of her connections had been forged by pure accident, people in her class she’d partnered with in group projects, accidentally shared a table with at lunch, or had dragged her into a pseudo-friendship because friend of a friend of a friend of an acquaintance. Then there’s the dance group, people she spends most of her ‘free’ time with, people who share her interests and some of her goals, ergo, people she shouldn’t have too much difficulty befriending.
But it’s easier for her to be alone rather than nurturing any of these connections beyond the necessary. Less tiring, less distracting as she might put it. Or maybe she just isn’t made for these things. So it feels almost... like an inevitability that even this friendship would start feeling tense, sooner or later. She likes Hojin. Very much, even. He’s almost an opposite to her, he gives and gives freely, the whole world seems to be worthy of his affection, but much like he can’t possibly give it all to every person in existence, Sunhee can’t take the full of extent of what he’s still intending on giving.
Which is why it almost feels like a reflex, when she suddenly jumps up before his head can fully connect with her shoulder. She knows she’ll feel the habitual guilt, that odd sense of discomfort that accompanies most of what she attempts to do in regards to other people. But right now, she just stands there, brushing her hair out of her face with a tense sigh. “Could you.. maybe... not be so...,” he’s older than her, that’s also to consider, but is he that much older? Does it count? She just... “Touchy? We’re just hanging out, right? There’s no need for getting close, I mean, it’s not a horror movie,” she gestures at the slapstick comedy on the screen behind her, without turning to actually look at it. “You don’t have to hold onto me all the time.”
