Seung will give him the grace of playing his stunned silence off as in-depth thought over their meal options. It's easy enough to let that happen and it certainly doesn't hurt Seung to perpetuate that tiny, unspoken lie.
Once Jay announces his decision, Seung nods in agreement. He quickly picks up a menu to look over it for anything beyond the usually that might jump out. "Is there anything else you want to try? I'd like to get some soba, too, if you want."
Jay reaches over to pluck the menu from Seung's hand instead of grabbing the extra one that's on the table, then he sits back to casually peruse it. Or he tries to, at least. He can't help the way he keeps looking over the top of the menu at the man sitting across from him. It's always been particularly difficult for him to keep his eyes off of Seung. He's always been drawn to Seung but look at where and what that got him.
"No, I'm good. Soba's gonna be all you," he says as he neatly places his menu on top of the other. Unfortunately what he wouldn't mind having isn't on the menu. Which is probably for the best. It's been proven in the past to be pretty bad for him.
As if Seung's ever been bothered by people who like to stare at him. It hits different with Jay, though. It always has. Those little surreptitious glances over the menu make him feel like he's 13 sitting with his first crush. Maybe what Jay really wants can be on the menu.
No, no. Bad idea. Bad idea for them to fall back into old habits when Seung's trying to prove he can be different... despite having already penciled in a weekend together in which he plans to be out of bed very little. Seung really is so predictable. But they both have places to be today and Seung's hard and fast about his deadline for the day. Law school isn't the sort of thing you blow off no matter how good the ass is.
Seung waves the server over so they can order, yakitori, a variety of sushi they both choose, soba (that Seung pretends he won't share if Jay asks), and drinks. Once they're "alone" again, Seung lowers his eyes a moment, and exhales slowly.
"I told you that I wanted to apologize in person. I really do." But he also knows it's pointless. Words without action are meaningless. So, he can say sorry now and back it up by proving it to Jay however he can. He doesn't regret much in his your life, but he does regret how he treated Jay that day.
because I'm surrently obsessed with soba
