another blink. "so you would like to court honey?" they most likely were courting, then. if he was anything like his brother, then he could he could be quite romantic. he had probably been wooing honey for a while now.
"it can be an odd experience. taemin and i confessed our feelings at the same time, though.... now looking back on it, i believe we had been courting even before we decided we were courting. i already had a mated chirp for him. and he would call me lovely nicknames he continues to call me. we were devoted to each other, we just did not say it out loud." which was so silly, when nym thinks about it now. "i truly believe that forever mates fall into each other. one day, it will simply happen. someone will tell the truth. it is difficult to lie, i think. even if it is well intentioned." water is lugged in a large pot from sink to burner to be boiled. "i am sure she wants to court you as well." a pat to his head.
"I..." he won't lie, but he doesn't know the truth. So, he can't say anything. He just looks at Alena, seeming a little helpless and lost.
Lovely nicknames... it hit Tae-hyun like a truck. He kept calling Honey Kyeopta - kept calling them cute. They were cute, but where had such boldness to say it aloud to them come from?
"Ah- ani-" he blushed at the mere thought, shaking his head. Honey? Wanting to be with someone like him? It felt silly. They could have anyone. Why would they want someone inexperienced, practically a hermit?
He liked the sound of that, though. That things will simply fall into place. It took some pressure off, it helped him relax. He sighed.
"Hyung would probably hate it if we did become a couple."
