[ It all works out in the end. Suah really doesn't need anyone who's constantly nice to her. No matter the fact that she's relatively kind of small, even for a girl, she's definitely not very fragile in any way. She's definitely nearly broken someone else's arm before while doing sports, for one, and Kitae putting his cold feet on her certainly isn't anything that's going to ruin her day. If anything, his playful threat only makes her laugh, the sound echoing down the hallway.
Besides, Suah definitely was already going to put her cold feet on him at least once tonight too - and she's not really enough of a hypocrite to blame Kitae for wanting to do the same. This way it's almost more fun. Like a competition of who can sneak up to the other with cold feet the best. Hilarious.
The house she lives in with her family isn't ridiculously big or anything, but it's still a little bigger than the average, and so it takes a few moments to wander down the hall - lined with Suah's various trophies and medals which her mother is more than a little eager to display to any guest - before they reach her room. She doesn't even have to tell her parents that Kitae is here, not like they're going to mind. If there's anything the other guy is good at, it's leaving a good impression on other people. Even moreso than Suah, despite the fact that Suah might actually be a slightly better person. Slightly.
In her room she unceremoniously drops down on the carpet with the box, opening it to peer inside at the food, which immediately has her near drooling at the sight. Suah can't exactly be called a very graceful girl, sitting there on the ground and almost drooling over chicken, but she would counter that she's at least trying to keep her bed from getting covered with fat chicken fingers. That's totally an effort right there.
She's patting the spot next to her to tell Kitae to come and sit down, but she's definitely not waiting for him to start eating either - she's just too quick. Before anyone knows it, there's already half of a piece of chicken straight in her mouth. ]
[ 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?
[ Said with her mouth still stuffed full of chicken, of course. Do you really think Suah is going to wait for something as insignificant as her swallowing the food before speaking up? No way, she's impulsive enough that when she wants to speak, she has to speak right at that exact moment, regardless of circumstances. Or manners, in this case. But even if Suah did care about having manners, she wouldn't bother going through the effort of looking polite in front of Kitae - why would she? They're best friends, and best friends don't need to hide anything from each other, no matter how gross said thing is.
Suah seems very happy though at the moment. Even her rebuttal doesn't sound annoyed or overly defensive or anything, more just like her answering him. It's easy to read off her face just how much she's enjoying the chicken, and she wiggles her feet a little in excitement before moving to lean against Kitae a little when he tugs on her hair.
It's only then that she finally swallows the mouthful of chicken, letting out a content sigh. ]
It's so good...
[ And although Suah might be thoughtless - or more just impulsive to a point that it's thoughtless - around other people and just keep eating until the box is entirely empty, she's a little more considerate with Kitae. If not just for the fact that she's always thinking about her bestie's wellbeing, really. So even though she's fishing a next piece out of the box already, she's instead holding it up to Kitae's mouth rather than eating it instantly. ]
Here, have some too! You'll understand once you taste it!
[ 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. ]
[ She doesn't even bat an eyelash at Kitae eating it straight out of her hand like this. It's pretty normal for the two of them, after all. Instead she just looks delighted that he's had some too, despite the fact that she definitely knows he's had it before - not like this is their first time sharing chicken. ]
Well, I'm not hearing you sing its praises yet!
[ It's obviously said in a joking manner though. Suah is probably aware to at least some degree that she is - as a person - very much over the top even about the smallest of things. But right now she feels happy and giddy to have Kitae here with her tonight, both because she just likes his company and so she can rest easy knowing he's here and not back in his own shitty home.
Which is why she drops the chicken - with Kitae's bite out of it - back in the box for a moment to instead throw both of her arms around the guy and cling to him. Even the clinging is kind of over the top, like the way a little kid might cling to their teddy bear or something similar to that. ]
But I'll allow it since you brought me chicke~n! [ She stretches out the last word, her feet kicking up and down against the floor a little. Suah is getting more than halfway to looking like a puppy wagging its tail happily. ] How could I ever need another guy when I have you, huh?
[ 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.
