It had been days since he’d sent her the photo, one that shocked her more than she was willing to admit, and she’d been avoiding the subject since. But her curiosity was peaked, and she needed to know. When her phone buzzed on the counter she eyed it warily, worried she would receive another surprise. Instead his response left her floored. The arrogance of it all.

[txt: butthead] I thought you were talking about that plant I sold you!  [txt: butthead] what was the purpose anyways? to startle me? or get a reaction? you realize ladies aren’t visually stimulated as much as men, right? [txt: butthead] give me romance instead

[ txt > flower child ] you wanted to know what i was doing. i delivered.  [ txt > flower child ] i also may or may not have been drinking, i think i even called you that night. [ txt > flower child ] lost my keys and slept on a park bench. pity me and i’ll romance you in return :(

He was as shameless as he was unscrupulous, which was either a side effect of his lack of pride or the culmination of a defense mechanism. Regardless, he didn’t actually expect an ounce of pity from Jieun.
