#taejunyh

rather than investigating this, i’m more curious as to why you’re interested in the subject of others' fetishes. perhaps it takes one to know one. is there something you’d like to tell the class, taejun?

"i wish we were allowed to feed the koi fish."

minah is staring at the pound, completely entertained by the movements of the fishes, how they swim around and how pretty their color schemes are, how an amazing painting they could become. it almost makes her itch to at least get a sketch out of them., but then she remembers how frustrating even something as simple as sketching has become to her, how nothing feels right no matter how much she tries to work and tweak what she's drawing, imagine doing something much more elaborated that is what was forming on her head before it was swallowed by the black whole of her art block and the negative mindset that comes with it.

the artist almost lets herself be swallowed by it too if not for taejun's words snapping out of her spiral of thoughts. she smiles at him and it's easier for it to reach her eyes. "yeah, but then i don't think koi fish like tangerines." she teases him, referring to the fact that taejun is always giving out tangerines whenever he has the chance. it's cute, she thinks, and at this point minah just can't help associating the younger boy with the fruit.

everything is a little easier with taejun, she thinks, even when they were still back at seoul and he was supposed to hang out more with her younger sister than minah herself. maybe it's because he's always so sweet, so thoughtful with her, from when he helped her with the dishes and stayed by her sides whenever she stayed over for dinner at his parents' house back in seoul to now when he's trying to help her work through her art block by getting her into all these nice places in yunhwa, places that he thought were beautiful enough to be inspiring, artsy and definitely landscapes that would be easily found in aesthetic places like tumblr or even photography contests, or not so magnificent places like now, taking her to see the koi fish at yunhwa plaza.

it's very touching, what taejun is doing and minah just wished she had more ways to express her gratitude for it, to find a way for taejun to understand how much his effort means to her, but nothing seems quite enough no matter how much she tries. "talking about feeding," she starts casually, smile still in place. "should we go out to eat something? my treat of course."
