i think so? i mean as well as I can be considering... enma gave me a lot to think about so i'm just trying to be patient let things go as they will without my interference
[Minus a drunk text to Haruto. Also yes, she is assuming that Jae has heard about her and Haruto at this point, though she wouldn't expect him to know what happened during her talk with Enma.]
[ He had spoken to Haruto in Jeju after his memories had returned, yes. So he had an idea of what happened, but he had unfortunately (or fortunately?) been wrapped up in dealing with Young-ho's arrival for that week and also the added knowledge of what could potentially happen if he doesn't figure out a way to stop Kangdae's self-imposed mission of revenge (thanks, Korain). ]
I'm actually impressed that he gave you genuine advice, honestly.
[ Considering what he's heard from Haruto, anyway. ]
But he is right.
I'm ... well, as well as I can be myself? Outside of dealing with some demon things, but you don't need to be worried about that.
Oh!
Though I suppose I do have at least some good news to share. I've started to see someone. It's been only a couple months, but it's been nice.
[ He shrugs. It's not like he couldn't have taken care of things if someone had decided to try and get the jump on him - and beyond that he has a(n un)healthy amount of paranoia instilled in him to know to keep his guard up. ]
Probably. Unless you wanted some? [ He tilts the glass in June's direction, though he's fairly sure the other won't take it. ]
glad to hear it especially because i ain't no lamb
seriously tho how sparkly are you like do you look like you may have bumped into something at a Michael's, or that you full on rolled around naked in a Claire's for an hour or so?
I don't, but if you're drinking anyway, let's get you somewhere better suited for the mood.
[ the cafe's patronage is becoming uncomfortable for june; too many eyes looking around, too many phones sending loads and loads of data out into the world, including pictures of themselves in the cafe. june could end up in one of them; he's not in the mood to risk it. ]
[ He laughs, standing and stretching, but not before taking a drink from the water bottle that June provided - more or less just to give the other some peace of mind than anything else. Jae wasn't kidding when he mentioned that he knew how to keep himself composed in public, even after being mentally exhausted and trying not to end up throttling someone in the process. ]
let's just say i have ideas and i'm certain you'll enjoy them and hopefully you won't mind me taking pictures during/after
morning off, not the day full shift at the bar tonight instead won't be off until 1, home by 1:30 maybe i'll see you in the morning?
[It's not fair to ask him to sleep at her place so she can come home to him, and risk waking him when she gets in. Even if she'd like to crash next to him after a long night on her feet. She never asks him to. And she isn't so clingy as to ask him to visit her at work, not when she can't give him the attention she'd like.]
Ah, yes. I apologize, Sunhi, things were sort of hectic and I had gotten caught up in some things, so I wasn't able to update you.
Her name is Jang Eun, she's part of one of the local covens here. And yes, she's good to me and makes me happy. We ... started dating under some odd circumstances, to be perfectly honest, but it ultimately worked out in our favor. I'm admittedly happier than I have been in a while because of this.
OMG OMG OMG JAE YOU'RE DATING A WITCH AND SHE MAKES YOU HAPPY AND YOU'RE SO HAPPY AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST it's okay you didn't tell me because you were too busy being with her which is so much more important!!!!
what's she like? what's it like dating her? she's really happy too, right? i mean you can tell, can't you? i assume?
I suppose I can indulge in some photos, but only if you let me do the same later on, of course.
Perhaps, I might wait up for you, though, just as a warning. Just because I'm an early riser now doesn't mean that I still can't be nocturnal if I wanted. It was my former state, after all.
Oh? Well, you've piqued my curiosity. Suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
Of course, I've got a few books that I've been meaning to tackle finally that I can read while waiting up for you. Perhaps make sure you have a glass of wine ready and waiting for you, among other things...
She's wonderful. The sex is mind-blowing, to nobody's surprise, but it feels nice to have someone to come home to. One of our first dates involved us going to one of the fine art museums to browse, and with me filling in some of the historical gaps when I could.
I'd like to hope that she's happy too, but Eun's the type that would voice her displeasure for the most part if something was bothering her.
you really shouldn't but i'll wait to share them when we're going to do something
i'd much rather hear about this glass of wine you'll have waiting for me, and these other things... though it's going to make my work shift seem very, very long
Well, I do have a vintage that I've been meaning to share with you at one point. And depending on how tired you are, I can supply a massage to help you relax. Whether or not you want it to turn into something more with the vines is up to you, of course.
It's taken some time, and we're both trying to adjust - I'll admit I haven't properly dated anyone in literal decades. But it's good. Very good.
Open communication is something that is necessary for most relationships, platonic or romantic, really. It won't be perfect, but we'll make it what we can.
Decades???????????? oh Jae..... that makes me even more happy that you're dating someone now and that she's special and right for you and that it's going so well!!!!!
let me know if there's anything i can do though and when i can meet her!!
