Met unlocked his car and opened the door for her, looking around curiously at the passerby and the cars ambling by. Once she got in he went to the driver’s side and buckled up, humming softly, trying not to keep the car in awkward silence after their questionable date.
(Questionable date?! XD I'M DEAD)
She buckled up her seatbelt, looking at Met to see if he did that same as she used to always do whenever they would get it a car.
"Gotten into the habit? I'm glad."
She says with a soft smile as she looks at him then to road in front of them.
(xDD)
There was one time he didn’t buckle his seat belt just to go to the gas station for some gas with her, and suddenly it had just became a whole thing, because it ended up in a screaming match (with her doing most of it with worrying about his safety and getting in a crash). He remembered it quite well and made sure he always buckled up to avoid more screams. A few years later this was not something to change. He mumbled something and just shrugged, pulling out of the parking spot.
"No comment huh? I see you've learned your lesson"
She says jokingly with a little laugh, sitting back in the seat and pulling her hair up into a ponytail.
“It was one time,” He grumbled a bit more audibly as he drove forward a little, only to be haunted at a light. He gripped the wheel and sat back in his seat, nibbling on his lips and wondering whether he should start using chapstick.
"I'm glad that's all not took!"
She says with a little giggle, adjusting the straps of her tank top.
“It was one time!” He repeated with vigor, glancing at her again and frowning a little. “We were going down the street!” He decided that would be the last he talked about it, because she’d start to yell at him again.
"I-im sorry"
She says as her smile faded, her body tensed up as she looked out the window. She was only trying to play around…..
But maybe he was just tired.
“That’s fine,” He mumbled in response, his face still somewhat taught with unhappiness, frowning. Though a few moments later it seemed to disappear smoothly, sighing as he drove.
She was quiet the rest of the way. Was something wrong? She was only teasing and she didn't even raise her voice any. Did he change? Was that somehow a sensitive topic?
She was just so confused at this point.
He paused at where she told him she lived, glancing at her as he stopped completely in a parking spot.
“Alright… well, I’ll be back soon to pick you up, then.” His voice sounded somewhat restricted and awkward.
"Okay…..thank you"
She says quietly, grabbing the handle and opening the door. She walked up to her apartment building and went in. Going up to the elevator and into her room. Min-Hyuk was sitting at the counter eating a small bowl of cereal.
"Hey, sis. Have fun at the gym?"
He says as he sets his bowl down in the sink.
"Yeah, though I need to go shower and change. I'm going to the aquatic museum with Met."
She says as she makes her way towards her room, Min-Hyuk leaned over the small counter.
"Metaphorical? Hm….bring at tazor."
He says as he sits back on the couch.
"I have a knife? Is that good enough?"
"Sure I guess. If you know how to use it"
"What? Of course I know how to use a knife! I'll be fine!"
"Okay, have fun then. Oh hey, later today I'm going to mom's house and getting my things. I bet they've collected so much dust."
"Wait I thought you were going to move back in with her until you got your own place?"
"Oh…..yeah okay."
He says looking up at the ceiling, obviously annoyed.
"Sorry sis…..my minds been a little off"
He says with a sigh, looking at the clock on the opposite wall from him.
"It's fine. Don't apologize. Anyway, after this why don't we go job hunting? That oughta be fun right?"
"Yeah sure."
Seo-Hyeon exited the room and went to take a shower.
