sentimental ;

i’m your fiancé! i deserve to know what he’s talking about behind my back. it’s not the most embarrassing thing ever, it could be a lot worse. shouldn’t he like me for bailing him out? that did cost a lot of money, now that you mention it. even brought him back home. twice in five minutes is an exaggaration! yes, i did out myself accidentaly, once, but that’s not something you should know about, since i’m sure i never told you?! who told you?! we just gotta look at the positives and we’ve got a whole lot of them coming up? no more negatives, i think we’ve got plenty of those already. is that even a question? what’s a thing that couples usually do on their first night of being married, hmm? you think we rented out a honeymoon suite for nothing? you think i agreed on not getting to drunk for nothing?

nope! i promised i wouldn’t tell, and i don’t break promises. because i’m a very good friend. look, i already apologised a whole bunch of times for getting arrested... i’m really sorry. i said you didn’t have to bail me out because it was expensive, but i’m really glad you did because the men in there were terrifying and i couldn’t stop shaking? i didn’t like the way they looked at taemin and i. shh, that’s another secret! can’t tell! i don’t understand, why i’m not going to be able to sleep when---..... oh. oh. that’s not why we agreed on not getting too drunk, by the way! we agreed on not getting too drunk so we could remember half the night and not have to babysit each other.

a talent? i don’t complain too much? really, you’re exaggerating a whole lot. and of course i complain about the sun! if it’s too hot outside, what am i supposed to wear? i can’t just strap a bikini on and go to work like that. ah, i’m sure he didn’t mean to offend you, honestly. i’ve done cooking before too? you make it out like i’m the worst cook in the household, but we both know it’s bella. fine. end of the week, i’m on it. i’ll have to put it in the washing machine first though and i’m positive it’s at jackson’s place, but i’ll try and get it back. violet also really liked the dress, complimented me, so that’s automatically a compliment to you as well! oh hush, you’re already having loads of sex? the walls aren’t too thick here. you don’t have to play pretend. maybe it’s in the family, but at least he does know how to put a wardrobe together. it’s either this or that. you choose.

maybe you don’t notice it as much as i do? i don’t know, but i’m not exaggerating. and the sun is amazing! it keeps things warm, helps things grow, i l love the sun! you don’t really get to see the sun much in this town and it’s miserable, back home it was always sunny and nice. but i’m better at cooking--- no offence. i enjoy it more! and i do it way more often, come on, you make it sound like i contribute nothing. i can be helpful! well you can tell violet i said thank you, she has wonderful taste! the walls--- aha, well, what can i say? don’t hold it against me! i’m happy, having loads of sex is totally normal. 

i might have a tiny bit of spare time left, yes. just a little bit. i can find some time for you. i’m thinking i shouldn’t feed your ego to much, but ouch, i can’t help it. bora’s.. i don’t know, she’s helped me with some stuff in the past. i don’t think i’d be here right now, alive even, if it weren’t up to her. it’s one of those kinda days, yeah. sorry. it makes me feel kinda cranky, i ‘dunno. you don’t have to leave me alone, really, i’m not asking for that? i think after i take a shower i’ll be good. i don’t, it blurs out my manliness. happy to be at your service though.

just a tiny bit of time, yeah? it won’t take too long... unless you don’t mind being a little bit late for work? i know theo doesn’t mind! i’m thinking that you should continue to feed my ego, because flattery will get you everywhere and i don’t think i’ve ever been this happy this early in the morning? hm, i guess... i still can’t say she’s been as nice to me as she has to you, though. like is it normal to hold a grudge for this long just because of a boy? well feel free to take all the time you need after your shower, i’ll probably be at home putting together this wardrobe i bought the other day anyway. 

but it’s about me and i deserve to know, don’t you think? i think it’s really unfair? and it’s not my fault! taemin doesn’t dislike you. you’ve been to jail with him, you did grafitti with him. he can’t dislike you. i think he’s grown over it. he’s been pretty tamed every since he’s been with violet. you’re fine. i wouldn’t tell anybody if it was personal and you wanted me to keep it a secret! i’ve been keeping things a secret before.. i think? you know how long i’ve kept it a secret i was gay?! or, or whom i cheated on with mackenzie. i kept that a secret for real long! see.. i think for our wedding we should look at all the positives and our upcoming honeymoon after, which is gonna be great. we gotta sleep well the day before our wedding, because i can bet your ass you won’t get enough on our first night as a married couple.

i don’t think you deserve to know, actually. consider it a lesson! adequate payback for telling donghae about the camping thing, which is like, probably the most embarrassing thing you could’ve told him out of all my secrets. ah, taemin still dislikes me. i don’t think he likes that i’m a better artist. and if he does like me it’s only because you bailed us both out. sometimes you’re good with secrets, sometimes you’re a mess. sure you kept it a secret that you were gay for ages but didn’t you accidentally out yourself to sahara like, twice in five minutes? i’m not a very positive person, but, uh, i’ll try my best for you. i don’t want to let you down... why won’t i get enough sleep on our first night? won’t i be really tired after the wedding and the reception? i usually sleep well after i’ve had a busy day...

about the top. i can’t promise you i’ll complain about anything ever again to you. sorry. that’s just not who i am. he doesn’t think it’s a stupid movie, i think you understood him wrong. please, he couldn’t even think it’s a stupid movie, he likes shrek, for god’s sake. start paying rent?! hey! i pay for this apartment too! i do most of the groceries, i deserve to borrow this dress. it gives me great sex. you’ve got so many nice dresses, wear something else! i hope so? we can try, if it doesn’t work out we call stil either call jun or jackson. what about that? maybe i can call my brother and whine, he might be willing to help us out.

i figured. i mean this in the nicest way possible, but you sure do complain an awful lot. it could be considered a talent if you want to look at it that way. like, you can even complain about the sun! and the sun’s never done anything wrong. he told me to my face he thought it was a stupid movie! after i’d just said how much i loved it too, which i thought was really mean of him. okay, but shrek is a classic. the facebook memes of it are a bit too much, but it’s still a funny movie. that’s not true! we made a deal, you do the grocery shopping and i do all the cooking, i’m almost offended you think you do more than me? it’s bella that does the least, probably. i want the dress back by the end of the week, okay? otherwise you can buy it from me. and it wasn’t cheap! i may own a lot of nice dresses but that’s one of my favourites! i like to have great sex too, you can’t deprive me of that and keep my dress. but your brother whines as much as you do and i don’t know how much patience i have, but it’s definitely not enough to listen to two of you complain.

because you wanted them? and i wanted you to have them too? i don’t really remember that.. so maybe, you could still show me how appreciative you were that night? hmm? you do look very vibrant today. make-up’s looking good as well, like that colour on your eyes. who? bora? i hope you never have to see her again, as well.  she’s not too bad, really. just don’t trust her too much. maybe i’ve been to long ‘round her. ah, she didn’t this one has been set for weeks, was planned out. i won’t tell more about it. i’ll just.. i think i’ll be back quick, but i ‘dunno if i’ll be in the mood for stuff then. ah, it’s the guitarist inside of me, hmm. years of training, what can i say? you’re making me blush. 

i mean, i’d show you right now if you didn’t have to go to work... unless you have a tiny bit of time to spare before you leave? i’m thinking you should compliment me this much every day, it’s making me feel really good. like, now i’ll be in a great mood for the rest of the day and nothing can ruin it. after my previous experiences with bora, i’d say she’s pretty bad... but you know her better than i do, so i’ll trust your opinion. oh, is it one of those kinda days? well, if you’re not in the mood for anything when you come home, i guess i’ll cook something real yum for dinner and stay out of your hair for a bit? i’ve got a wardrobe to try build anyway. ah, good, i like it when you blush! and i especially like how good you are with your fingers, really appreciate those years of training. 

and you’ve never really told me what kinda stories he’s told you. which i’d still like to know. no! not the entire town knows, i just know that taemin’s really not good at keeping secrets unless they’re his own. i think you look fine? hence why my dad shouldn’t say anything.. i mean, you did gain some weight, i’ll admit, but you were so skinny? i think this looks a lot better. plus you’ve gained some colour on your cheeks too, it’s cute. you’re not mad at me, ah, xiao, little one..─ c’mon, you’re not really mad at me? how could you? and sssh, i promise it’ll be a good day! a very good one, i can already tell the weather’s gonna be great and we’ve already tasted the cake, which was insanely good… picked the music for our first dance? the venue looks nice… what could go wrong?

i’ve told you this. it’s because i’m a good secret keeper, and he told me not to tell anybody so i haven’t. i’m a very good secret keeper, unlike you apparently. i can’t believe that spread to taemin. he really doesn’t like me, you know. he would tell everybody just to upset me. i think i look a bit fat now, i was probably better before. i don’t think your dad meant to be mean about it, i guess, maybe he meant it as a compliment... i’m a little bit mad at you, we’ve already been over this. how couldn’t i? i’ll stop being mad when you start being a better secret keeper. what if i tell you something really personal, something i only want you and nobody else to know? ah, don’t say that. don’t ask what could go wrong because then things usually start going wrong. like bartenders getting black eyes, people getting stabbed and lungs collapsing.

i’m fine with one of those nice salmon sandwiches? we had them a while ago and they were super good, not too expensive either. if you buy me those along with an iced tea, i’ll never complain again. oh hush, he’s a cop, he’s been taught to not show too much emotions, because that’s inconvenient? for work, that is. he’s just a bit of a macho, doesn’t want to be seen crying infront of people. i can tell you he has before though. he’s very human, but don’t make fun of him crying. he won’t like it! he’ll deny it too, i feel. even though it’s completely normal to cry when bambi’s mother died, poor baby. because i still wear them! just not at work, i’m borrowing them still, technically. they’re very nice, very tight around my ass and my boyfriend really appreciates them, just not at work. i’ll give them back soon enough, i promise! no, ugh, i’ll help you if he won’t. i just can’t promise you it’ll look good, though.

a salmon sandwich and iced tea works for both me and my budget, sounds like a plan to me. never complain again altogether, or never complain about the top again? be honest. hey, it’s not like i’m making fun of him for being sensitive. that’s a good thing! i just want to make fun of him for crying at the lion king after he told me he thought it was a stupid movie. how long are you going to borrow them for? because it’s been months, and if you keep them for any longer i’m going to make you start paying rent for them. i’d like to wear them, too! i go on dates that i want to look good for too! it’s just a wardrobe, some drawers... it can’t be too hard to put together, right? we’ll figure it out?

ah, baby, i know, that one time you took me along to the shops, i almost had a heart attack looking at the price tags. thought i was gonna die right there, the most i’ve spend on a pair of boxers is fifteen bucks and it felt like i was being scammed right then and there. fifteen bucks for a little bit of fabric. i didn’t say that, i said you look particularly good today, real effortless. i don’t know where to buy them and i lived with my neighbour for most of my teen years, all he bough were cans of beer and meat. not those small cakes. bora’s not doing it on purpose, i just, really have to finish some business for her. said it was important or something. it won’t take long, i feel. and precise with my hands, hmm? are you talking about braiding your hair still or did you just casually change topics?

but you still bought them for me anyway, and i showed you how appreciative i was of that later that night, didn’t i? if we go shopping tomorrow i’ll make another stop in the lingerie section. but paying more usually means better quality, and aren’t they more comfortable? hm, well, thank you, baby. i feel good today, maybe it’s showing on my face? even if she’s not doing it on purpose, i swear she can tell when i want to spend time with you and purposely calls you into work. ah, i hope i never have to see her again. you know what? i’ll be honest, i started off talking about braiding my hair but now i’m on a completely different topic. you’re fantastic with your hands, just wanted to let you know.

i don’t remember if i told him! but i… might have. he’s not that bad.. really. he’s a good guy. i don’t think he’d tell anyone. are you sure though, did you ask olivia? maybe she did tell gongchan and once the word gets to taemin… you know the entire town will know. i’m exercising! i’m working out! my manager told me to work on it, i’ll be fine. did my dad really? he shouldn’t say shit, he’s been having that dad body ever since he was eighteen. i’ve seen the pictures! why would you want to sleep on the couch when milo’s allowed on the bed and you’ve got… me? ah, i feel so easily replacable with that dog. no, no, i’ll be careful, i’m not doing too many competitions either, i’ll try not to. why wouldn’t people come? it’s gonna be the best wedding of the year? we’ve prepared real long for this?almost a year? i proposed to you in november!

i know i said i wouldn’t get mad, but i am a little bit mad that you told donghae... ah, good guy... i try to see the good in everyone so i guess. he doesn’t keep secrets well though, like he’s told me lots of embarrassing high school stories about you. olivia did not tell anyone, she--- the entire town? you’re telling me the entire town knows? oh, don’t be so mad at your dad, it didn’t offend me or anything, i guess. maybe just a little bit. my cheeks aren’t too chubby, are they? because i’m mad at you, and if i’m mad at you but then cuddle with you... that defeats the purpose? minjae... you’re not replaceable, don’t say that. you make me feel really guilty when you say that. i just love milo a lot, it doesn’t mean i don’t love you any less... i don’t know, maybe people can’t come because they’re busy, i don’t know... i’m paranoid. nervous. i just want it to be a really good day.

then you could’ve always ordered it online? it’s whatever though! as long as you buy me lunch! i don’t think his favourite drink is wine, neither is it beer. probably something way stronger and more expensive, but if he wants that, he should bring it along himself. his favourite movie? ah, disney wise, he has cried when we were watching bambi once, same goes for the lion king. i don’t blame him though. don’t tell him i told you this. ah, that’s… sorta depressing. i’m not doing anything illegal, really, already quit wearing those dresses to the office because it was very distracting. you just shouldn’t have thrown your old one out! it was functioning fine! i was certainly enjoying the view, jackson’s got a great ass, ha. maybe you could ask jun to help you out? i’m really no help, i didn’t even take math in high school seeing how bad i was at it. hmm, i think all those things will fill the day just fine?

i don’t like ordering online, what if the clothes turn out too small? it’s too much of a risk. i’ll buy you whatever you want for lunch, just please not too expensive. i’m relieved to hear that, i can confirm he’s not a robot now! everybody cries at bambi, and if you don’t you’re some sort of emotionless, heartless robot. the lion king too, when mufasa dies... gets me every time. nothing gets me more than the fox and the hound. you mean you told me he cried and i can’t make fun of him for it? aw, okay, fine. ruin my fun. if you quit wearing those dresses, then why haven’t you given them back to me?! i was looking for them in my wardrobe clean out and i couldn’t find them anywhere. you told me you were just borrowing them! eh, i try not to bother jun too much after he’s been at work all day, i like to give him a break, some space, sometimes a massage... i’m getting distracted. but fine, i guess i’ll just build it myself.

the one with the lace? gotta be more specific than that, i think, hmm── mauve lace? on your back the lace’s see through, let me think, it had some light purple in it too? does that ring a bell? ah, it’s because you look particularly good today. i think i fed your ego enough for now though, so i’ll stop for a bit. or…─ nevermind, i’ll keep going for a bit more then, hah. it’s a french lunch room, i heard they sell macarons and last time we went out and bought those, i really liked ‘em. i also need some new jeans, so i do think it’s a pretty good idea to go out shopping. what do i need practice for? you said the braid needed to look a bit messy! so that’s what i did?! what’s there to practice more for? i already got those galaxy buns down too, or whatever they were called and the pony tail. i think i’m doing a solid job. casey, ah, don’t criticize me too much. i’m just a simple guy. 

minjun, i can’t believe how much attention you pay to every little detail of my lingerie. i’m quite flattered, really? i feel appreciated, i like a man who takes time to appreciate and doesn’t just rip it right off. especially because lingerie is super expensive, like, especially that set you just mentioned? the tights are so delicate, they rip super easily. are you saying i don’t look good every day? hm. macarons are delicious! i’m still surprised that you’d never tried them before that time we went out, you really have been missing out for years. stop, you’re making me excited, now i don’t want to have to wait until tomorrow! i’m very mad at bora for stealing you away today. i can’t give you too much praise, like i said, i can’t have you being better at it than me! but fine--- you did really well, baby. you’re very---... precise with your hand movements. definitely, uh, know what you’re doing. it’s good.

i didn’t tell anyone! i swear, maybe…i might have told donghae, but i don’t remember. i don’t think i did. maybe olivia just told gongchan, and gongchan told taemin.. you know how this goes. soy is extremely healthy too and i’m not skipping out of my diet just because it’s annoying to make. my body can’t handle all the fat that comes along with chocolate, cream and marshmallows. you should be happy you got great metabolism! instead it goes right to my ass and a little ain’t bad, but lately i’ve been gaining weight, my god, my manager even noticed. he says it’s because couples always gain weight together. is that true, you think? have you been gaining weight as well? my parents adore you as well and they think you’d break if you slept on the sofa, so it ain’t happening, not today, never. i’m not injured anymore now, am i? totally healthy, ankles are doing great. not yet, but in two months or so you will and what’s two months? you can basically already call yourself a jung, little deer. i’m very ready, very excited, my mom complimented us on the invitations, said they looked good!

you told donghae? that’s literally the worst person you could’ve told! the only secrets donghae can keep are ones that benefit him somehow. minjae, really, did you have to tell him? haven’t i suffered enough embarrassment? olivia would never tell, we keep each other’s secrets all the time. couples do gain weight together when they’re comfortable together, yes. i think i’ve read that somewhere before. be careful or you won’t fit into your suit anymore for our wedding! hm, your dad did tell me the other day he thinks my cheeks are looking a little chubbier than normal. don’t be silly, i’m not that fragile? your parents know that! the couch is comfy, honestly, with enough blankets and pillows it’s one of the most comfortable places ever. add milo to that to cuddle with and i’m practically in heaven? you better not be injured, not with our wedding so soon. oliver jung, hmm. it does have a nice ring to it. i think i could get used to hearing that from now on. she did? i’m glad! i hope everyone can come, it would be so nice to have everyone there. 

sorry, excuse my language. and that’s a lie, you know this yourself. last time we went out shopping i bought you this extremely cute top because you didn’t have your purse with! don’t pretend this didn’t happen! bummer. last time i borrowed them, it made my legs look real good. i know jackson doesn’t look like taemin. but cashiers are racist and asian is asian to them, besides they only look at the birthdate anyway. the thing is, neither of us are above twenty-one. right, besides jun. if we invite the boys over though, tell him to buy beer as well. i think jackson would rather die than drink fancy wine with bubbles. and please, as if he’d ever arrest me. he knows he wouldn’t be getting laid for the upcoming months then. he’d never. ikea? you want to build a new wardrobe? you know when we moved in together and i had to build mine, how much of a mess that was?! i don’t know, gosh. but hmm, yeah, a manicure sounds good! a spa day?

how many times do i have to say i’m sorry for that? i’m very forgetful, and i just couldn’t let that top go, what if i went back to get it the next day and they were all sold out?! i just couldn’t take that chance, you did a good thing. besides, i’ve already promised to buy you lunch today so we can call it even. exactly, so we’ll just play it safe and let jun buy all the alcohol. we’ll make that grocery list now, put both beer and wine on it, yes? pfft, i bet jackson’s favourite drink is secretly fancy wine with bubbles. maybe he’s just putting on an act to seem tough, like when he pretends not to be interested in those disney movies we watch. but what if you did something really bad? he’d have to arrest you, otherwise he’d be breaking the law. maybe you’d break up because i imagine it would be quite hard to maintain a relationship with someone who’s in jail. i don’t want to build a new wardrobe, i need to. otherwise where else am i going to store all my clothes? it’s a real dilemma, isra. hm, the only thing i remember is jackson building the wardrobe and us sitting back with a glass of wine enjoying the view. a shopping and spa day sounds perfect, anything else we need to do today?

ah, hmm, i see. just like that lingerie set? because i really don’t think you should throw those out. i think we could easily make some new memories with those. see, i knew it was lilac! it looked good, matched nicely with your hair, complimented your figure real well. but eh, i don’t think there’s anyone else who can do that sorta job, casey, sorry. bora can get a bit bossy if i don’t listen and i’m really trying my best to avoid that. i can give you my card if you wanna go today and go with the girls? or we can go together tomorrow, you pick. you decide. i do know some real great lunch rooms in mineapolis though we haven’t visited yet. but, if you decide to go with the girls, don’t go on debt with my card though! i did well last time though, right? slowly learning, hmm? i thought it looked better than the picture you showed me as example. i wasn’t planning on dyeing my hair? never had. never did i plan on buying extentions or shaving all of it off, don’t worry. 

which lingerie set was that, hm? i own quite a few, you’ll have to be more specific than that. if i did throw them out, would you be sad? maybe i’ll have to keep them. just for you! you’re just full of compliments today, aren’t you? i’m definitely not complaining, but it’s just something i’m noticing. if you keep it up maybe when you get home from work today we’ll get started on making some of those new memories you were talking about, hm? it’s okay, i won’t take your card and go today. i want to go with you tomorrow. you’ve sold me on the promise of trying out some new lunch rooms, and the promise of spending some time with you. you know that’s my favourite thing! you did very well last time, i think you need a tiny bit more practice but you’ve almost got it perfect. try not to be too perfect though, because i can’t have you being better than me. i pride myself on how pretty my braids are. good! if you don’t change yours, i won’t change mine. sound like a deal?

i didn’t tell anyone! i thought you did? olivia knows, doesn’t she? you told her. i’m sure you did tell her. i am a coffee addict, keeps me awake, but i could just as easily make that at home. what’s so bad about my order? you’ve seen orders in LA, you know mine is one of the easiest. we don’t even live at my parents’ house anymore! please! this is bullshit, you slept way better in my bed. they wouldn’t have let you sleep on the couch, they’d rather have me on there than you. gotta be nice to the guests. even though you’re not really a guest anymore. more like a permanent family member, hmm? i’m sure. what do you say, baby? you ready? august isn’t so far off anymore, is it?

don’t lie to me! i promise i won’t get mad, just be honest and tell me if you told somebody. olivia knows because she has a sixth sense! i never told her a thing, she can just read it on my face even if i don’t show any emotion. we’re sort of like twins, we read each other’s minds a lot. it’s just an annoying order, soy is always annoying to work with. and i personally think it doesn’t taste as nice as a good, creamy, chocolately hot chocolate. with marshmallows, of course. that’s not true! couches are very comfortable, i’d be able to sleep on one easily, just as good as a bed! don’t be silly, your parents adore you, they wouldn’t put you on the couch and risk you injuring yourself even more. a permanent family member? oh, i----- that sounds weird, really weird. makes me sound like i’m a jung, and i’m not just yet. i don’t think i’ll ever be ready, but i’m definitely excited! a little nervous, but excited. are you ready? august is very close, i swear i blinked back in march and then it was suddenly june.

are you throwing everything out? even those heels? did satan give those to you or did you like.. buy them yourself? because if it’s the last and you’re really throwing them out, not gonna lie, i’ll take them. they look nice, really. we should throw a bonfire with the girls, i’m sure they’ll like that. i’ll like that. start things over. you know what? i’ll make a grocery list and do those this evening, i’ll add some nice sparkling wine to that list, ask if jackson can tag along with taemin’s id, so he can buy the booze. he took my fake saying it looked like shit and even a blind would notice it was rubbish. i’d love to go shopping with you though! i need some shorts myself, maybe a new jacket. we totally could! and cutting your hair? you didn’t want to cut it for years! why would you now?

not everything, but most things? i think i’ll donate a lot of my stuff, meet my daily quota of doing nice things. satan? excuse me, but i buy all of my own clothes. except somebody did buy me those heels and i plan on keeping them, so keep your hands off! a bonfire would be awesome! i can cook up some food for everyone, let me come grocery shopping with you! we’ll have a bonfire with some good food and lots of alcohol and good company. jackson doesn’t really---... look like taemin, i don’t think. i’ll send jun to buy the sparkling wine? that’s much more reliable, no offence. isn’t that technically a good thing? your boyfriend is looking out for you! it would be real awkward if he had to like, arrest you or something one day. would make a great story to tell your children though. yes, please, let’s go shopping! i’ve got the whole day, and i plan on visiting every store. including ikea, because i threw out my actual wardrobe as well as just the clothes in it, hah. so there’s a challenge if you’re up for trying to help me build some furniture later. i’ve only ever cut tiny bits off my hair, i know... i don’t know, i guess i’m just really committing to this whole change thing? maybe i’ll leave my hair. little changes instead, like, ooh--- we can get manicures too?
