Scripted?

8: Tee likes Tae

TEE POV

It has been 2 hours since we were locked in this studio. P'Tae's battery died completely, both of our powerbanks inside our cars. We resigned to the fact that we'll be stuck in here for at least 6 hours.
Jumping out of the window is out of the question. This second floor's ceiling is very high. We even shouted for help but since this is in a private village, there are almost no one in the vicinity. Few cars also pass by. It's sad really that we're both just a few feet away from our cars but we can't ride them.

"Beef I guess. Burgers and steaks." P'Tae said.

"Pork for me. I like it fried. I like garlic crispy pork. Summer or rainy?" I replied.

"Hm. Summer."

I made up a game where we tell each others' preferences. There's nothing here to entertain us except the music instruments at the other room. Good thing we already ate since the staff packed the leftover food, and there are only drinks in the pantry. We both sat on the floor, in the middle of the practice room.

"I like rainy days. I hate getting tan. Even if I take off all my clothes it will still be hot. But when it's raining, it's cold, all I have to do is wear a jacket."

"Well, I like summer activities. Surfing, swimming, basketball. It gets ruined when it rains. And I hate bringing an umbrella."

"Oh. Well, I hate getting in the water."

He laughed. "Really? No wonder you were uncomfortable during that underwater shoot we had."

"Yeah. I almost drowned when I was a kid. I mean, I can swim, only up to 5 feet, but I don't really like it."

It feels really easy talking to him now. I've learned a lot of things since we started the game. When he laughs, his gums are almost showing. When he thinks, he tends to tilt his head to the right a lot. He drums his fingers when he's bored. He likes playing with his earlobes. And -

Our favorites are almost NOTHING similar.

From food, to weather, to sports, even to places. I think I've given 10 different topics and none of our answers match. So how come our fashion tastes are exactly the same?

"Type of girl?" I asked hesitantly.

"Older women definitely. Not too old. Just a bit older than me." he nodded as he slumped on the floor. "You?"

"Me?"

"Who else?"

"Uh. I just like them pretty. I don't care much about body figures, I like a pretty face."

"But younger or older?" he asked.

"Doesn't matter P. But I have only dated same age girls." I said truthfully.

"I've dated younger women. But my recent ex is older than me."

"Why did you break up?"

"Lack of time. Different interests. It was around our 2 moons' screening. She didn't want me to audition. She's not into BL."

"Oh. How long were you guys together?"

"Only 3 months so it didn't hurt much. But among my exes, she's the most charming. Last I heard she has a new boyfriend."

I'm really curious now. What kind of woman would let go of P'Tae? He's about the nicest guy I know, and this is speaking from a guy's point of view. He even helps the staff tidy up sometimes.

"My ex also broke up with me before the screening." I said. "We lasted for almost a year though."

"And you still like her?"
