#but also absolutely same lmao jaeha's parents think he's an unemployed underachiever

[luvdive]

❝ how have you never mentioned this to me? ❞ jaeha asks, eyebrows still making a break for the sky. ❝ i've been a drag queen for four years and you're only just telling me now? ❞ again, there's that little grain of jealously, this time at how easily hyunwoo can brush off people's opinions. maybe one day jaeha will learn how to do the same, but until then he trusts only a handful of people with his career choice, and even fewer with his sexuality. but the conversation feels a little heavy for the walk to a gay bar, and so jaeha tries to deflect like always. ❝ well, if the girls get their way tonight, they're going to make you look so pretty it's going to make me sick. ❞

 he  couldn't  help  but  laugh,  catching  the  shock  in  jaeha's  expression.  ❛  what  ?  you  think  just  because  i  didn't  grow  up  sneaking  around  in  makeup  i  would  be  clueless  ?  ❜  he  gave  jaeha  a  playful  nudge,  his  grin  warm  but  with  an  understanding  glint  in  his  eyes.  ❛  besides  ..  ❜  he  continued,  leaning  in  as  if  sharing  a  secret.  ❛  it's  not  like  i  didn't  have  my  own  ..  curiosities.  it  just  comes  easier  now  because  ..  well,  i  stopped  caring  what  people  might  think.  or  i  try  to,  at  least.  ❜  he  softened,  nudging  jaeha  again,  this  time  with  reassurance.  ❛  but  you  know,  it's  never  too  late  to  make  peace  with  that  stuff.  if  you  are  ever  up  for  it,  we  will  try  the  whole  makeup  thing  together  sometime.  think  of  it  as  ..  conquering  the  past,  or  something.  ❜
