remembering sunday

i’m a hyung

who are you

{‘he feels a jolt of electricity running through his body (was it out of guilt?) and quickly tucks his hand into his pocket, his smile still tight} Cool. {‘he manages to say. (really, namjoon? that was the best you could say?)} So uh, what brings you around here? {‘his speech is still strained, trying to push down the nerves rising up his body}

[/yeah. real cool. what wasn't cool, though, was what it was about you that was already in his brain that he couldn't hold onto. this happened often, but not so intensely. there were so many feelings of happiness, but so many of sadness at the same time when he looks at you.] hm? [/he raises his head a little to look at you properly, his usual act of annoying-teenager having disappeared him for a while.] oh. i had to go down the street to get to the cookie jar, is all. i have deliveries. [/he can't bring himself to be as usually obnoxious as he usually is, it seems better not to.]

You… {‘his mouth drops to say something but he can’t find the right words to say. how can he, after the last time he saw you? maybe it was a good thing that you didn’t remember him. he decides to play along and pulls on a tight smile, letting out a nervous laugh} … Sorry, you… You look like someone I used to know. The same name too, huh? {‘nudges you before holding out his hand} … Namjoon. Kim Namjoon.

[/he stares at you for a few moments, trying to figure out why he suddenly felt such a need to scream or cry. god, god no, that name sounds so familiar. he knows it, and he knows it goes along with your face, but he can't just say that.] nice to meet you, namjoon. [/his smile is almost as tight as yours, and he reaches to shake your hand.] jeon jeongguk.

I don’t even know your name. [/he complains halfheartedly, nudging your side with a socked toe] At least introduce yourself before you go barging into people’s homes like that. 

[/he cringes at the toe, remembering his much too recent realization of the term ‘cock sock’. never again will socks be the same for him.] i’m jeongguk. and you’re taemin. amiright?

Taemin has returned to Cafe au Lait! Please welcome him back!
