"That much I noticed."

He pouts. "Well. That's what it was."

Permalink

"Both Lee Juheon-shi and Baek Hyun-jae-shi are your sunbaes, right? How come they're partnered now but weren't when you joined?"

Permalink

"...Hyun-jae-sunbae's previous partner, uh. Died. Last year. And she'd never been to the queer meetup before and went to one to, um, get really drunk and forget about it by maybe having inadvisable sex with a girl, and then they met and found out they were super compatible."

Permalink

"And so Lee Juheon-shi just... left you?" He doesn't want to complain about the series of happenings that led him to have met Tae-gun but he's finding himself put out by the idea of someone having dropped Tae-gun like a hot potato like that.

Permalink

"—no, of course not." The water's already hot, so he strips and gets under it. "We talked about it, he wasn't going to just leave me in the lurch, and eventually we found my second partner—he's not at Quasar anymore. Or, um, anywhere, he decided that being a dungeon esper wasn't for him, I think he's working with civilians now but I'm not sure what, we haven't kept in contact."

...still doesn't sit right with Jaeha but, well, again, if they weren't that compatible after all he guesses that was for the best. And... they're still on good terms, so that's... good?

"When Ipsae—that's my second partner—decided to stop, Si-yeon-hyung's partner had just done the same thing a bit earlier, and I already knew hyung from the meetups and we knew we were compatible so we partnered."

Permalink

"And Kim Chun-hee-shi...?"

Permalink

"Is my hoobae, and they were a lot more compatible than hyung and I were."

Permalink

"And he did leave you."

Permalink

"We talked about it." He looks up at Jaeha then tugs him under the shower. "...did all of your partners leave you just like that?" he wonders.

Permalink

 

 

 

"I guess I'm showing my damage, huh?"

Permalink

"...that's a kind of..." Weird? Mean? Thing to say about oneself.

Permalink

"Well, you're right that all of my previous partners left. I could list their names for you if you want but the story's always the same. I'm too apathetic, I'm only interested in the sex, I'm boring, I don't care about anything." He shrugs. "They varied in how polite they were when they were telling me how much I sucked as a partner."

Permalink

"...I don't think you suck."

Permalink

"That's because with you I'm more guided than I've been in literal years. I told you, didn't I? I'm inventing myself again for you."

Permalink

This is not, objectively speaking, "romantic", he thinks, but he's still getting butterflies.

Jaeha grins then grabs the shampoo to wash Tae-gun's hair. He doesn't remember when or why he started doing it but he kind of likes it now; it feels like taking care of Tae-gun, who doesn't really need anyone taking care of him and furthermore objects to the concept. It's a small thing but that's something Jaeha's getting back, is his appreciation for small things. His, just... feeling like his day-to-day existence is good rather than neutral or tolerable.

Permalink

Well, whatever Jaeha's reason is, Tae-gun finds it very nice to be on the receiving end of.

Permalink

"You're very cute."

Permalink

And now he's scowling. "I'm the most powerful esper in Korea."

Permalink

"The most powerful esper in Korea is very cute."

Permalink

He hopes Kang Jaeha can tell that he's being glared at despite the fact that Tae-gun is not actually turning around to do so. Having his hair washed is more important than glaring, just barely.

Permalink

Oh, he can hear that glare loud and clear. He rinses Tae-gun's hair then turns him around and pulls him into a hug, resting his chin on Tae-gun's shoulder and sighing contentedly. "Happy birthday, Tae-gun-ah."
