yells at you this is the one not-spoiler you get

[readsagain]

[ He looks down at her for a minute before he does something that might seem a little strange: he smiles again. This time. there's the glitter of tears in the corner of his eyes, but he desperately doesn't acknowledge them. ]

I did.

[ His voice is gentle, and he reaches out to brush a hand through her hair. ]

And afterwards, we ate pizza and Cola by the Han River, just like we promised.

i lied im not at all sorry

[beastlings]

[ ...

she holds him a little tighter, anxious for reasons she doesn't want to think about. ]

You promise? You really, really mean it?

knew it

[readsagain]

I really mean it, Yoosung.

[ He's not even technically lying! ]

It'll take us a while, of course. You'll be older, but there will be a happy ending.

[beastlings]

... for you, too, ahjussi?

Are you part of that happy ending, too?

[ It wouldn't be happy without you. ]

[readsagain]

I'm a part of it. I told you we have pizza by the river! I have to keep my promise to Gilyeong too, for chicken by the sea.

[ She'd be forgiven for thinking he's holding something back from her, earnest as he's being. He leans in a little. ]

You might not believe me, but Junghyeok makes the pizza for you, too.

[beastlings]

[ Caught. Well, more like he caught her trying to catch him. She makes a face, barely, her gaze skittering guiltily off to one side before focusing on him again with a blink.

......... ]

No way, [ she mumbles, making an actual physical effort not to laugh at the mental image of Junghyeok in a chef's apron. ]

we can wrap here if you want or she can poke at him more

[readsagain]

[ Dokja grins at the sight of her trying not to laugh and launches into a description of Junghyeok's cooking. Is he exaggerating how good and what he did during it? He might be, he might not be; such is the price of being a good liar.

He hopes it distracts her from asking any more questions. ]
