wednesday and taejin.
this fool knew absolutely nothing about science, but the moment his name came out of her mouth —- the moment —- it felt like he was experiencing the big bang. space booming into existence, the world becoming colorful and expansive, dinosaurs getting hit by a met—- actually, dinosaurs were the best part of the world before the big bang, so maybe not that part, but he still felt like his heart was about to stop. lanky limbs feel like they're about to give out until he grabs metal railing to keep himself upright, visibly gulping hard as he tries to figure out what to say next that doesn't consist of full on gibberish. ‘ i guess i was expecting someone else … in a way ? it's just that you're really beautiful in person. ’ taejin utters it without thinking beforehand, eyes round as saucers while a hand frantically waves in front of him, as if that would erase what he just said into the open air. ‘ n-not that your pictures don’t do you justice, because they do ! it's just that i think you're prettier in real life, and —- was that weird of me to say ? you know what, i'm sorry, i'll shut up. ’
wednesday let her mouth form a pretty smile at his clumsy compliment, a blush spreading across her cheeks nearing the end of it. she looks away from him for a moment in an attempt to hide it, though with the way he was staring at her, she was sure he’d noticed. after a second, she felt composed enough to turn back to him, telling him, “ thank you. “ the woman was used to compliments from various people, some fans and some working in the media field – but taejin was already different to her. she liked him, genuinely, and the quirky kind of cuteness she was seeing in him now that they were together in person wasn’t helping that one bit. but ... it honestly put her more at ease. “ you’re really handsome, “ she continued to speak, though shyly. “ both in your pictures and in person. “ her heart was beating fast as she looked him over – it was the truth, taejin was dangerously attractive and she was sure that anyone who spotted him out ( even on a bad day ) would be interested in him. the thought made something strange stir in her stomach ; she pushed it down. wednesday bit the bullet, then, deciding to hold her hand out to him in an attempt to hold his. she asked, “ do you want to walk around the park while we talk ? it’s pretty out today, and i don’t really get to explore without security often ... “
