"I, I mean, I feel like it's your home first, and I still want a separate place to - run to, I guess, for complicated me reasons? I feel weird coming into your home and making a billion demands about your decorating choices." Which is why she hasn't been, even though his house is kind of like a creepy un-lived in show house. With too many superfluous bedrooms that Tae-gun will literally never use. "Just, um. ... Tae-gun-ah your house is like a show house and it weirds me out a little."

"Hye-jin-ah, in the interest of clarity here, if you wanted to completely remodel this whole house I would be fine with that. And I don't mean 'fine' as in 'I'd accept this burden' I mean I'd just be fine with it." If he cared what his house looked like he'd have changed it at all ever!

"Oh."

Pause.

".... then can I turn one of the bedrooms into an office? And then another into like, a library, I'm still really sad about almost having a library and then not being allowed to be in it. You have so many bedrooms, and you will never ever have this many guests, ever."

"Yeah. Do you want my help decorating and figuring out what they should look like or do you want me to just empty them out?"

"...... maybe just empty them out and I'll let you know if there's anything in there I want to keep?" She expects to keep nothing. "... Can I go figure out which ones I want, when I had the house tour I wasn't thinking in terms of using it as a blank canvas. ... Hm, three guest bedrooms is probably still a bit much, but I guess for one we can, like. Get a gigantic bed in case of. ... Activities."

"...activities?"

She looks at him, raises her eyebrows, and waits.

"Oh."

Giggle.

"But I mean, maybe not, I don't know how um, serious you're keeping no one else coming here ever, so." Awkward shrug. "Just an idea!"

She still feels so awkward about making home decisions about his silo! She doesn't know how to do this! She's trying but still!

"A-anyway, yes, you can, um, pick which, um, r-room, um. To. I mean. Um. Do things with."

"So that's a yes for a giant orgy bed?" she teases, because he's cute when he blushes.

"Yessurethat'sayesforgiantorgybed."

This conversation is having some physiological effects on him. That is not a downside he anticipated to often not wearing any clothes. He awkwardly covers himself (to the extent that's possible) and turns to the side a bit.

This earns a delighted giggle from Hye-jin! Who is nonetheless not going to pounce on the opportunity for sex right now, because she's busy ~thinking.~

Does he want to hear her excitedly think out loud about the merits of each bedroom and what they would be best as? Because if so, then she's inclined to excitedly babble about it. (The orgy room should obviously be one with an attached bathroom, that's just sensible. And she sort of wants her office to be near the library, and the office should preferably have a lot of light but too many windows is bad for a library because, you see, those will be filled with bookshelves instead -)

He's not particularly looking for sex either! It's just the conversation topic!!! It's her fault!!!!!!

Anyway yes sure he's fine being a soundboard for her. It's good, even, though... a bit bittersweet.

She notices his awkwardness anyway, though.

"... Hm? Too much?" she asks, back to self conscious.

"—what? No. No, keep doing what you're doing, I like it. It's just..."

Head tilt?

"Just...?"

"How... long... have you been, um. Sitting on. This?"

"The... urge to redecorate your house, specifically? Um. Mostly I've avoided thinking about it because it felt like... overstepping..." Fidget.

"Oh." He summons a small ice knife and starts fiddling with it and tossing it up in the air without looking at her. "I see." Fiddle fiddle. "...I wish you hadn't. I'm sorry I made you feel like you had to."

"... I don't think it was you?" she offers. If it was anyone it was her, or maybe her shitty ex, if for some reason she's trying to absolve herself of personal responsibility. Hideyoshi... tolerated this kind of thing, but. ... Tae-gun seems like he actively enjoys watching her bounce around excitedly acting like she's queen of the world. "I think this one's my fault, actually."

"Okay." Fiddle fiddle. Unconjure knife. Clear throat. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring the mood down, keep doing what you were doing, it was good."

"No, don't apologize, I think that was actually really - good and useful to say? Um. If I think about this as not an imposition upon you, but. ... Something you like seeing, too?"

Blink blink. "Hye-jin-ah, I like seeing you happy." He's certain he's mentioned this before!!!

"Okay, well, there's saying that and then there's - 'Watching you prance around as self appointed queen of the house is fun'!" she defends. "There are - lots of ways that I can be happy, and some of them can get on people's nerves, or overstep their boundaries, or - whatnot."
