words | 303 | No guilt showed on Kyu-Sik's face as the man clearly caught on to what he was doing after his more direct statement. However, his eyes did turn back down to his coffee. That was the only sign that he acknowledged being caught red handed. However, his words made his actions obvious. It probably would have been more troubling if Donovan ignored it completely. Instead of trying to defend himself, the young man sighed and took one more drink of his coffee to let the moment pass. He had no shame in what he was doing, after all. There was nothing wrong with a brother looking out for his sister, right?
"She doesn't often get involved with men." Mi-Ho had never bothered to hide her sexuality once it was affirmed, as their family was a liberal one and she cared little else about what others thought of her. That still didn't mean he was going to flat out tell Donovan that Mi-Ho was a lesbian, but he figured it was an easy hint to pick up on. Then again, this was the same man who had began trying to tell the mug story just a few minutes before. He shifted the coffee mug around in his hands, passively watching Donovan as he rinsed out his mug.
"This is the first time in a long time that some guy has shown up at our door wanting to talk to her. Even if it's just to drop off her phone." Kyu-Sik's words were casually spoken. He felt justified in his reasonings from what little had been presented to him, and that was all the more reason to stay as calm as he always appeared to be. "Far be it from me to make assumptions, but there are plenty of people out there who shouldn't be trusted." |

Looking for a towel to dry his hands, he instead patted them against the sides of his shirt, leaving water splotches that wouldn't take too long to dry in the sun. He regarded Kyu-Sik with an almost sympathetic frown. It wasn't quite that he understood what the other was feeling, because having five younger sisters of his own, Donovan had never felt particularly protective. But then he supposed they were never at an age he should be concerned for them, and the dating practices in his family and within their community were quite guarded. Maybe having only one sister (or did they have more siblings? Donovan couldn't really assume) would make him even more protective. Apparently any sort of boy coming by was a big enough shock for Kyu-Sik to know how to handle, but Donovan wasn't too concerned with Mi-Ho's sexual activities or lack of to wonder too much why. He'd been single himself long enough to really care what reasons anybody else was.
Either way, he couldn't necessarily blame Kyu-Sik for caring about his sister, even if it was entirely misplaced. Kyu-Sik hardly knew him to make that call, sure, but Donovan was used to others viewing him as entirely unthreatening by default. It was a bit strange that somebody suddenly didn't, and for all the wrong reasons. Donovan shrugged in surrender, though still clearly amused. "As far as I can tell, she seems nice enough. But really, she's not my type," he hinted, leaving Kyu-Sik to interpret that however he pleased. Although he hoped Kyu-Sik didn't take it racially, because while he'd never dated a Korean or anybody outside of his race, he wasn't opposed to it. Or hoped he wouldn't be. And if Donovan had a type, he wasn't all certain what the would be. There was a time he thought freckles and farmer's tan was all he needed, but those were hardly endearing traits anymore.
It was the moment that he registered that he was gauging Kyu-Sik's physical attractiveness that Donovan decided that he really had to leave, lest he make the brother even more uneasy with his presence. "So I'll see myself out," he announced, making straight for the front door.

words | 258 | Kyu-Sik was just about to point Donovan in the direction of the drawer that housed all of the neatly folded dishcloths and towels, but he watched the man choose to dry his hands on his shirt instead. He finished his own mug of coffee while waiting for a response to his statement. Though he once again didn't get quite what he had expected in return, he didn't particularly care after that point and it was actually something that made him feel more comfortable with the man. Mi-Ho was apparently not his type. Whatever that meant, it at least meant that Donovan wasn't after his sister as anything more than a casual co-worker.
Again, the young Korean man wasn't about to apologize for his concerns, even if Donovan didn't necessarily come off as the most threatening person he had ever met. When the man declared that it was time to leave, Kyu-Sik gave him a nod. He didn't bother following him out, but he did watch him walk to the door in silence. Then he got up to rinse out his own mug as well. He figured that he had gotten what he wanted out of the conversation. Sure, he still didn't actually know much about Donovan, but getting personal details hadn't been the goal.
That was the end of that encounter. Or so he thought. An exasperated 'oh shit' that suddenly came from the home's doorway caught his attention. Kyu-Sik sat his mug down and decided that maybe he should've followed the other after all. "Is everything alright?" |

His bike had either been stolen, or perhaps somebody had needed to borrow it for some elaborate chase scene. But he could tell from where he stood in the doorway that it wasn't at the curb where he left it. Truthfully he had seen it coming, and that made it easier to accept the fact he'd probably never see it again. The bike wasn't even in particularly great condition to be that much of a loss, though it did what he needed it to. Get him home. Which he was currently trying to think of alternative solutions for when Kyu-Sik asked what was wrong.
Donovan hadn't realized that he'd drawn attention to himself, giving a bit of a flustered sigh and running his fingers through his hair. He already accepted that he'd just have to walk home. If he wanted to afford a new bike, he really couldn't go paying for expensive taxi rides and the bus route from here was too roundabout with transfers to save any time. At least the weather was pleasant. And unlike Mi-Ho, wasn't going to bother asking for a ride. "My bike's gone," he shrugged, not expecting much sympathy in response but receiving a sassily flat reply that a cat must have taken it instead.
Of course.
Taking a small step outside of the door, Donovan slowly closed it in Kyu-Sik's face. And then he laughed, shoulders shaking as he tried to suppress it. He hoped he wasn't going to receive a stay away from my brother speech to follow, although Donovan was always one that could appreciate symmetry.
