[ he sees her name in the phonebook while he's brushing his teeth, and somehow that's just the way things should be. ]

when did you get here?

Came here in one piece?

[Maybe it's unsurprising to get such a straight to the point message; he was never one for being talkative or anything other than socially inept. So she knows, anyway, considering she's almost always carried every conversation between them. He has no clue what had become of her, much like he'd had no clue what happened to Hyunsu or Eunhyuk.

And, despite himself, he does care. A little.

Even if it's disastrous to do so, in everyone's shared experience.]

how do you feel about bowling?

[The evening after this conversation, Hyunsu spends at least an hour going through his closet and looking for something appropriate to wear on a bowling date. Clothes aren't something he normally puts a lot of thought into, but he's sure a hoodie and sweat pants are not good enough for this occasion, no matter how expensive the brands might be. He ends up subconsciously channeling his monster as he tries to make a decision--that part of him is more prideful and arrogant, more concerned with appearance--and eventually he settles on something casual but classic.

When the designated time to meet her arrives, he promptly heads over to knock on Eunyu's door. He tells himself it would be rude to keep her waiting, but also he's just full of nerves. He doesn't want to keep himself waiting, either.]

[On Christmas Eve, Eunyu will receive a carefully wrapped box containing:

- one blanket burrito kitty plush
- a little charm bracelet, also cat themed.
- a novelty sweatshirt, again with a cat

He saw on Butler that she liked cats and really took it to heart, ok.

Since he is bad with words, all that's attached is a simple tag with his name written in Hangul to indicate it's from him.]

i know we've gone on dates, but i've never asked is it okay if i call you my girlfriend?

[ it's not a traditional greeting in any sense, but eunhyuk's taken a long look at the calendar and realised just what day is coming up.

how do you talk to a sister who has more faith in your humanity than you do? the typical answer is you don't, at least for eunhyuk, so he leaves her a small plate of savory cakes instead. leaves a gold chocolate coin for her, too, just as a little joke. there's a small note written on a post-it; ]

happy new year.
