[ That's one of the best things about Suah, she really doesn't worry that much about tough issues. Kitae's life has been one tangled mess after another, and most of it isn't even his fault. His father has hated him from the day he was born, because he isn't really his father. He might be legally considered his dad, and as far as the government knows he's biologically his dad's kid, but a little bit of blood word would dispel that in an instant.

Even if he was his biological father, however, Kitae doubts his situation would be much better. His "dad" might not scream as much at him, and might be slightly less likely to throw empty liquor bottles at him, but Kitae doesn't doubt that he'd have to deal with some of it still. The man is a useless drunk, and Kitae doesn't doubt for a second that he'd still get called a useless fag, and told to fuck off out of his sight the minute he walked in the door.

Which was exactly what happened when Kitae came home tonight, and why he was trudging his way to Suah's door now with fried chicken in hand. He never wanted to deal with a drunk Hoseong, and he'd find a sauna to sleep in for the night if Suah hadn't demanded he come over right away.

That was another thing he appreciated about her too. Even if so many people at school criticized her for her loud, brash behavior, Kitae appreciated how aggressively loving she was. She probably gave his reputation a few hits here and there, but despite his very careful reputation management he wouldn't trade her for even the best social standings. When you live in a house with a man that would as soon hit you as pat you on the back, and a mother that shies away from physical contact, having someone who wraps herself around you is nice.

He doesn't feel anything remotely romantic, and certainly nothing sexual for Suah. Whether he wants to use the term for himself Kitae is as gay as the day is long, but there's something comfortable about the contact he and Suah have. It feels warm, and comforting, and sometimes a little overbearing, but there's no doubt when after a long night of an overly excitable Suah screeching about her favorite topics, when they lay down next to each other and she curls up against him he'll feel more at home than he ever does in his own lonely house.

So when he rings the doorbell and she greets him almost instantly with a wide smile and an excited yell he can't help himself, the poise slips for a moment and he smiles himself. A real, genuine smile that only a couple people in this world ever get to be graced by.

Before she can tackle him and knock him on his ass though he's shoving the box of fried chicken towards her.

I got two types for you, so don't complain I got the wrong one.

[ Not really the "thank you" he should be handing out to someone that just offered him a place to say, but it's not Kitae if he's not being a little bit rude. ]

[ Suah is probably the only person in the world who would look at Kitae and think he's a soft and cute animal. Even the people who have bought the fake persona that Kitae has carefully crafted tend to think of him as more of a hard working, intelligent kid than anything else. Sure, Kitae has made himself seem harmless enough, but less through helplessness and more through good natured helpfulness.

That's bullshit too though. Kitae may be good to his friends, but he's not a good person overall. He's definitely not a cute and soft animal, and while he might need protection from some aspects of his life, there are definitely people that could use protection from him.

Suah, of course, is not one of them. As she launches herself at him Kitae opens up his arms so he can loosely wrap them around her when she sticks her landing and plasters herself to him for a moment. He's used to hugs like this, and while he might be perturbed by anyone else trying to hug him with this much enthusiasm he's learned to accept it graciously when it comes from her.

He also doesn't seem fazed by her sudden spin away from him either. It's Suah, so of course she's energetic and bouncing all over the place. That's just how Suah is and has always been. He also doesn't really need the invitation to come into the house, because it's always been so implicit he'll do it even if she didn't say a word. Kitae even politely closes the door behind himself so that Suah doesn't have to bother, kicking off his shoes by the door, before following her further into the house.
]

Not as much as you'll regret telling me that.

[ There's a teasing tone in his voice that suggests he's just saying it for fun, but he is absolutely going to put cold feet on her at least once tonight.

He's only so nice even to his friends.

[ Here she is, ladies and gentlemen, the girl that Insik idolizes enough to still like her despite the company she keeps. If only he could see her now...!

Actually, if he saw her as she really is, and decided that he didn't care for her anymore? That would tick Kitae off immensely. Suah is perfect the way she is, and dainty girls are overrated and often dull. Suah's lack of refinement, mischievousness, mile long competitive streak, and all around brash nature was what made her as amazing as she was, and Kitae can't help but let out a breathy laugh through his nose as she crams her mouth full of chicken.

Definitely best this way.

Kitae drops down onto the floor next to her with little grace himself. There's a chance that some people might have a misperception of Suah's personality, but a good number of people definitely have the wrong idea about Kitae's personality; the teachers at school, Suah's parents, Kitae's various bosses... honestly, any adult in Kitae's life besides his own mom and dad are way off about what he's really like.

The real Kitae is a lot nastier most of the time, but he still has his soft moments. Like now, where he gently tugs a lock of Suah's hair, laughing quietly again.

Hey. Calm down, or you're going to choke. What are you? A dog?

[ One of Suah's best charm points is her lack of proper behavior despite her family's wealth. They make good foils for each other in that way, Kitae with his overly proper behavior while being dirt poor, and Suah not giving two shits about manners despite having all the money in the world. He really doesn't look even a little bit bothered, despite giving her a hard time about how she's woofing it down.

It's funny too, because this is chicken they've eaten hundreds of times before, but Suah still acts like it's the most incredible thing she's ever eaten in her life. The owner of the store should really consider hiring her to advertise for them. Sure, most people might not want to see a cute girl eat quite so messily, but the genuineness of her enjoyment would probably get through to some new potential customers, right?

He snorts as she holds the chicken out to him though. He doesn't really need converting.

I've tasted it before.

[ Still, he leans forward and takes a bite of the chicken she's holding, without taking it out of her hand first. ]

[ Being over the top about everything is a large part of Suah's charm. Most people are too toned down in life, and even Kitae curbs a lot of his thoughts and feelings throughout the day in order to put on this bland, good boy image. He needs to in order to maintain a certain imagine, and the worst part is that he'll have to do that for the rest of his life, so he needs people like Suah around him to balance him out.

An exuberance for life, even if it's about eating fried chicken, is important. It reminds other people to actually stop and enjoy the simple things every now and then.

It's hard to keep the smile off of his face when Suah tosses her arms around him, but he does his best to look as scowly and hard to approach as usual when he's not putting on the fake charm. He's not doing a good job of it though, and the corners of his lips turn up just slightly.
]

Hey! Don't get chicken grease on my clothing!

[ Doesn't mean he can't still be very Kitae with his words, however.

He leans into her embrace though, not fighting the hold she's got on him at all.

And what do you mean? You'll meet another guy eventually you like, and then as your first boy I get to interrogate him to make sure he's good enough for you.
