it is in hana's nature to prefer remaining in the shadows. few people know enough to connect her face with her reputation and maintaining a level of secrecy is necessary for obvious reasons. that's why she is taken aback when minki asks her to be his date to the gala and decides to decline the invitation for once. however, her resolve noticeably softens when he presents her with the dress he has already bought for her. material gifts don't hold much significance for her, but the fact that he took the time out of his day to choose it touches her in a way she didn't expect. then again, she never thought they would have come this far either. "oh, it's actually a nice dress." she comments genuinely, though it shouldn't come as a surprise since he's always been meticulous about appearances. "but have you considered that i don't like people? because i really don't." she points out, as if presenting a convincing argument in a courtroom. he is a rare exception and accepting that fact took a considerable amount of time. / @evocatiive
