Jay deserves his petty digs. He deserves that and so much more. And Seung knows he deserves to have every flaw, his every misstep with Jay flung in his face. Even Seung thought they were more than just two people who slept together. Surely Jay felt that way, too? Even if he didn't, just vanishing was cruel.
"And was I particularly charming every single time?" Surely once or twice he was less than impressive, right?
The other patron squeezing between them comes as a welcome relief. The entrance of another person when they'd all faded into the scenery breaks the spell. Seung's thoughts stop falling all over each other (and right out of his mouth). The butterflies slow the beating of their wings and it feels like he can breathe more easily.
"Are you in grad school now?" Why does Seung care? He genuinely does, but it's also casual and natural enough that it could seem like small talk, like part of a conversation that can be done and over once they walk out the door. And then, to seem less like he's prying without offering anything in turn, Seung adds, "I'm in law school." Quite a change from the mechanical engineering degree he secured in Japan.
