canon is boys over flowers (the korean drama version)

[saveahorse]

Seonbae. While I'm... flattered in a way that you've found me the most appealing of F4 to invest your time in, I have to say I'm also a bit surprised. Given the other more rambunctious personality types I'm slowly becoming acquainted with, I would have thought someone like Jun Pyo was more suited for you.

That aside, there is one concern I have to address. I hate to be predictable, but these worlds you're considering? I can assure you they aren't for me. I rather like my position in Korea. I think I'm perfectly happy staying put.

Why don't you hold off for a while, see if your fascination with me calms down. It might save us both a headache, don't you think?

Sadly, asking Muns nicely doesn't usually work, I hate to tell you.

Oh? [ He tries not to look too put out by that. He's not really sure how else to ask. But instead he just gives her a playful (or hopeful) smirk, tilting his head a bit. ] Do you think it'd work to be a bit more forceful, then?

[androgynoushostess]

I don't think force would get you far either. My mundane's pretty ridiculous but I'm not sure about yours... I think it depends on their moods, what they do with us.

[Hopefully his mun was not in a sex island mood she would feel really bad for this guy if he ended up joining her :| His temperament is a bit playful though. It reminds her of Hikaru, at first glance. They would probably get along really well?]

[saveahorse]

Their moods, hm? [ He gives a heavy (maybe slightly done up) sigh and rubs his neck a little. ] I'm sure there has to be something. Once you figure out the way a person works, you can almost always find a way to get what you want. I don't think I'll give up just yet.

[androgynoushostess]

[Yep... sounds more like Kyoya now... going to just run her hand over her eyes]

You can't just manipulate a person, you know. Then again I guess our situation is a bit like that. We're manipulated like puppets after all.

[deputes]

What kind of worlds?

[saveahorse]

Islands, mostly. Some surrounded by water. Others a bit less innocent in nature. All of which have a habit of stripping people of their comforts from home and I rather like those comforts.

[deputes]

You don't have a sense of adventure?

[She's teasing, just a little.]

[saveahorse]

[ He gives a small laugh, shrugging a shoulder a little noncommittally. ]

I think I've had enough "adventure" to last me already.

[ Smaller scale adventure, maybe, but YOU KNOW HE JUST DOESN'T NEED MORE REASON TO START BOOZING RIGHT NOW. ]

[deputes]

[He's definitely kind of cute, she thinks. It's easy to fall in line and giggle.]

Mm... I guess being forced to have sex isn't the best kind of adventure anyway. That's what happens at the island I'm being played at right now.

[She tilts her head to the side thoughtfully, smiling in a sort of vague, almost ephemeral way.]

...Or paradise, depending.

[saveahorse]

Ahhh... [ He has a look of understanding at least at the mention of Atia, nodding briefly. ]

If it's the same island my mun's been thinking of sending me to, forced makes the whole business sound so much more unpleasant than it has to be. Strongly encouraged, maybe. I'm sure if someone's doing it right, it can almost seem completely like free will, I imagine.

[deputes]

Probably!

Especially if you find someone you really want to be with there.

[saveahorse]

Mmm... I imagine a place like that would make something permanent a bit difficult.

[deputes]

Oh, you want a permanent girlfriend at home, too?

[saveahorse]

[ He could make up some lie or find a way to phrase it better, but he decides to go with honesty. He gives a small shake of his head. And somewhere in the distance, Ga Eul breaks a pot. ]

I'm not particularly interested in something permanent anywhere I end up. Even home.

[deputes]

[It's okay, Ga Eul, Saki sympathizes tremendously. She raises an eyebrow, quizzically but not judgmentally.]

Are you allergic to commitment?

[saveahorse]

[ The phrasing of the question surprises him, but he manages to give a smile when he recovers. ]

I just don't care for it.

[deputes]

But you're committed to non-commitment, aren't you?
