It's not a subtle smile that he hides away; it's not his notorious sly smirk that the Star Stream grew to both love and be apprehensive over. It's a real smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling in delight and his lips stretching wide, dimples forming for how hard he's grinning.
"You said it yourself, I won't be able to make it up, so maybe I should just not bother, hm?"
He doesn't mean it, of course. We're he sincere in his words he'd beg forgiveness. He'd tell her how lonely he had been and how her story kept her company one more time. How her new sections of TWSA surpassed the original and enraptured him.
How, when he heard her knocking, he desperately wished he'd been able to keep his promises to all of them. How he'd be happy to be her reader until the universe turns its last page on their story.
He feels Junghyeok's absence as sharply as she does. He can't make him the Junghyeok they know. The only thing he can do, because he deserves it: to tell him the truth of who his sponsor is.
He ruffles her hair a little before he speaks again, choosing not to dodge any of her retaliation.
"Did Junghyeok really think I was Secretive Plotter? What kind of a guy does he take me for?!"
