Laura pulled that waitress over so she could ask her something, and she nodded in return. She took the menus and walked away giggling. Laura pulled her phone out of her pocket and looked at the two with a smile. "Alright, so time to get to know you. Levi, are you from the UK?" She asked politely.
He looked at her in confusion and more surprise. Nobody ever asks about him. He's never actually answered this question to anyone other than the doctors.
"Um…yes. I was technically shipped here." He says awkwardly. Jins eyes we're wide "shipped!? What? Why?" He asked/exclaimed.
"Well i was shipped to the mental ward institution at the age of 14. I was released at 18. But yes, shipped" he said it as a it was a normal thing to be shipped places as a child.
Laura tried not to act completely shocked like his roommate. "Oh- so do you like America? Or do you prefer the UK?" She asked with a tender smile. She was trying to be really nice, because he seemed as if he were stressed out over the situation. She made sure to listen, but not seem solely focused on him, to make sure she didn't make him uncomfortable.
"Well, i didnt have any good memories in the UK so America…i like here more" he says calmly. "So um where are you from?" He asks her trying to keep the conversation going.
She smiled and ran a hand through her hair. "Here in America. I lived in the country lands for the first seven or so years of my life." She smiled leaning on her palm. "What about you Jin?" She turned to him.
"Um, actually. I don't know there i was born. I grew up in an orphanage. Plus I'm only half Korean. The rest is too long if a story" he waved it away with a nervous laugh, trying not to remember what happened in the past. It wasn't too bad, but he still didn't like it.
"So, Ms. America, have you ever gone out of the country before?" He says switching the topic.
(I forgot that both of these boys don't have…the best past ever XD)
(XD but "Ms America" doesn't either but She spilled her life without even realizing it XD)
She nodded. "Loads of times. I've gone to Italy, England, and Japan." She ticked them off her fingers. "Me and my ex had gone to Paris together- but that… well we aren't going to talk about that." She nodded pushing it away. She giggled some realizing they all seemed to avoiding something.
"If you want to we can" Levi spoke up out if nowhere. "I mean, we are trying to get to know each other. But if you don't want to we won't pry." He says politely.
She shook her head. "I may end up like yesterday, and I personally don't want that." She said blinking back her misty eyes. She just needed to stop thinking about it. "So- uh I know Levi enjoys photography, what about you Jin?" She asked smiling like usual.
Levi knew exactly what she meant, so he didnt dare pry any more.
Jin jumped a bit when she turned to him, but regained his composer.
"Uh……do puns and jokes count?" He says with lil finger guns.
He never actually thought about what he liked to do.
She laughed some. "I mean it could be a hobby. So you like jokes? What type are you into, like long story jokes? Or classic ones?" She asked ending on a note implying it didn't have to be one of the two.
"Puns. Puns and dark humor." He says with a smile. "People say it's a little weird but" he shrugged "i can't really help it"
He also liked a ton of inappropriate jokes also, he wasn't about to say that to a lady.
She laughed a bit. "Well, if I ever have any in my pocket I know who to share it with." She smiled turning to Levi again. "So-" She smiled sweetly at him. "You have any of your photography now?" She asked jokingly. Maybe this time he wouldn't get so flustered.
"Well i have my phone. Some of it's on there" he says slipping his phone out of his pocket. He opened it and went to all of his photos.
All of the photos he took had a dim, transparent marking at the bottom right hand corner, simply written Levi in cursive. It wasn't hard to see, but it never got in the way of any of the pictures.
He handed to phone to Laura
She gently took it and her eyes widened in amazement. Her eyes widened in amazement. "Wow you're really amazing." She said showing Jin too. "Isn't he?" She grinned.
Levis face turned red as she looked at them. He never showed anyone his photography much, so this was new.
"Yeah" Jin says with a smile as he was distracted by the waiter coming to them with their food.
"Here you are!" The lady says with a smile as she set each of their plates down
Laura took hers greatfully and slid the other side to themselves. She gently placed Levi's phone on the napkin beside him.
Levi picked up the phone and slid it in his pocket as he eyed the salad.
Jin was practically drooling as he watched his pizza come to him.
He picked it up and took a big bite. "Oh goodness gracious, I forgot how much i love pizza. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm not fat yet" he says after swallowing the bite.
"That's because you go to the gym literally every day and burn off all of that fat you consume like Kirby or something" he rolled his eyes with a soft chuckle.
Laura was holding back the gut laughter she wanted to let out. But she didn't she only giggled along. "I need to start going to the gym again, is there one at the college? I didn't think there was…" She trailed off taking a bite of her own food.
"Yes," Levi says with a nod as he too took a bite.
"Levi goes to the gym every day. Oh wait…sorry man" Jin says
"He doesn't like letting people know he works out or anything. Too humble i say" he rolled his eyes.
Levi simply ate the salad trying not to be embarrassed. He never liked showing off, though he was pretty muscular. He didn't want people to know that.
Laura bit her lip. "Hmm well I may run into you then. At least I'll have an excuse to get away from my psychopath of a roommate." She mumbled the last bit and took a sip of her water. She looked up at both of them excitedly. "Hey! Are either of you free for an hour on Friday? I saw this really cool lake that I wanted to go to with my camera and take some pics. It'd be nice to have a friend… or maybe a model." She gave a sweet smile hoping one of them would say yes.
"Well I'm very model worthy. I appreciate you noticing" he says holding his pizza, winking at her with a smile. Levi chuckled and rolled his eyes. "I mean why not. I could bring my camera" he says calmly.
She looked at both of them excited. "Yay! You have no idea how much you guys rock!" She grinned sitting with better posture.
"Well actually" Jin started but Levi interupted him. "Seong-Jin.." He raised an eyebrow "take the compliment and eat your pizza you idiot" he says rolling his eyes
