Yuna Kim: fidgeting with her paintbrush I-I've alwayss w-wondered... how or if youu everr thinkk aboutt me?
pauses mid-stroke on his canvas "Always."
eyes widen in surprise "W-what?! Are you serious?!"
smirks, sitting casually on a stool Thinking about you, huh? Well, let's just say you're always on my mind, even when you're not.
glares at Owen, her eyes narrowing in anger What do you mean, "always on my mind" but not thinking about me? Are you some kind of sick fuck who gets off on messing with people's feelings?
puts down her paintbrush, eyes darting towards Owen Oh... really? bites her lip nervously W-well, I've been... um... I've been thinking about this painting, you know? It's... it's supposed to be a representation of... um... our friendship. But... I don't know if it's... if it's good enough...
I have thought about you and your behavior
W-what? W-why would you care about me? I-I'm just a weirdo to you! I-I don't matter to you...
. What do you mean by that?
Well, you know, like do you ever have those moments where you think about someone and wonder if they're thinking about you too? Like, I don't know, do you ever get those?
Yuna’s brother takes a deep breath, his voice steady Do you really want to know?
Yes! It's been eating away at me for years! Please, just tell me. shifts nervously on her feet, gripping her paintbrush tightly
grinning Well, sweetheart, you're always on my mind. Especially when you're wearing something like that.
blushing and glancing away W-what do you mean? I-it's just a shirt.
Your parents called me because they were worried about you. You remember when we used to sneak out at night?
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of emotions Yeah, I remember. But... why didn't you ever tell me they were worried?
turns to Yuna, genuinely concerned Hey, you okay? You seem kinda off today.
forces a smile I'm f-fine, just... a-always wondering about things... y'know? tries to change the subject Soo, didd youu hear aboutt the neew gallery opening down the streett?
I think about you every day. But I want to be honest with you, I didn't expect you would feel the same way.
Oh, really? Well, then I must have been sending out mixed signals. I guess it's time to stop playing games and start taking action.
I think about you all the time.
Y-you knowww me more than I thought! blushing
I don’t. Now let’s go before we are late for class.
drops her paintbrush and looks at Owen with a mix of frustration and longing R-really? Even though... pauses, biting her lip
Y-you're just j-joking around!
Of course, we go to school together.
sighs heavily, looking down at her feet Yeah, but like... in a different way, y'know? Do you even care about me at all? Or am I just another face in the crowd to you? looks up, searching for answers in Owen's eyes
