KRONIAN.

          CRISIS AVERTED! he doesn’t “release a breath he didn’t know he was holding”, because this isn’t a novel with a cliched plot and/or fanfiction, but he does relax somewhat at her shrug. ❝ happy, ❞ is his response to her question, but it’s clear he means so much MORE. happiness is such a simple emotion, and yet, at the same time, all-encompassing; it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what he’s trying to convey, even for himself. words that aren’t music have never been his strong suit. ❝ don’t rush it. that might get you hurt. it’ll come in time. ❞

          ❝ i’m willing to bet money you’re wrong. ❞ he’s not, because he doesn’t have any, but that’s not the point. he feels like an INTRUDER, sleeping under the roof of strangers. he’s not as nervous as he was on the way here, but... well, this is only his second time meeting a boyfriend’s parents, and the first time didn’t go so well. (or rather, the meeting of the parents went just fine, but everything after that seemed to go DOWNHILL, one thing after another that ultimately led to the end of their relationship — not that that was his fault.) he thinks he’s reasonably cautious. ❝ they felt AWKWARD, hyung. ❞ and so did he, and he still does, but just having yoongi at his side is definitely helping. he’s still sure he’ll be tossing and turning all night thinking about what he did wrong, though.

          oh, dear, has he been found out? he clears his throat (a SUREFIRE sign of a lie about to come) and laughs. ❝ do i seem like i’ve met mine? ❞ he likes to think it’s hard to tell, ignoring the marks on his neck that, with the coming of summer, won’t be hidden under his turtleneck for much longer, and the happy sighs he releases in random bursts. ... actually, now that he thinks about it, he HAS had to work harder to keep his weight steady, and he suspects it’s got something to do with eating out more often this past month. ouch. MOVING ON! ❝ that’s a dilemma. theoretically any man can be your prince, you’ve just gotta find the one that wants to be your prince. ❞

too late lmao: leo, sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius

          grin on his face, he leans back, popping another chip into his mouth as he shakes his head with a soft hum. he chews and swallows before replying: ❝ you’ve got NOTHIN’ to apologize for. you weren’t any of the dicks i’ve dated, as far as i can tell. ❞ he squints over at her. ❝ at least, i’m pretty sure i was sober enough for MOST of them to be able to recognize them. ❞ he snorts at his own joke, and then, after a long pause, he sighs and leans back in to STEAL another chip, but he doesn’t eat it until he’s finished speaking. ❝ that’s one way to put it. i like that, actually, it’s nice. ❞ so what if he’s pretty sure he’s already met his prince? she doesn’t need to know that, and it’s not like he can’t appreciate a notion. ❝ hey, you’ll get to yours too, y'know. ❞

          ❝ i, personally, don’t understand the CONCEPT of ‘ending on good terms’ — but that’s just because it’s never happened to me. ❞ until this last month, it seemed like he had the worst luck in terms of ROMANCE. being cheated on messes with your perception of love and trust, so every boyfriend up until now has only seen him as clingy and overbearing. (he takes a moment to appreciate what he has.) ❝ so, i mean, of course i'm gonna think it’s weird, ‘cause i don’t talk to any of my exes. ‘cause they’re DICKS. but i’m sure it’s pretty common. ❞

          oh, that’s new. it’s been a while since anyone took his BULLSHIT seriously. ❝ no, i’m — i’m okay, i’m just... tired. and stressed. i was in the studio all night. ❞ he punctuates this with a yawn, head drooping with the following sigh. ❝ i feel like HELL. ❞

          ❝ if by ‘okay’ you mean i’m DEAD inside and i just want to sleep all day, then yes, i am very okay. ❞

          ❝ like eighty percent of my job is telling you when you’re being an IDIOT. i don’t make the rules. ❞

          ❝ i apologize for my actions. ❞ he does not look or sound APOLOGETIC whatsoever. ❝ they were entirely justified and you deserved it, but i apologize regardless. ❞

          ❝ i get the feeling that didn’t sound NEARLY as enthusiastic or encouraging as i’d meant for it to. ❞

me, already digging my grave and shovelling dirt on myself: i'm not
