Jay, likewise, takes up a great deal of space in Seung's mind. Unlike Jay, though, he wasn't the one hurt by leaving how he did. Okay, maybe it hurt a little, but it definitely hurt Jay more. Not only did Seung up and leave, he never really gave any explanation. At least Seung had some idea of why he left. (But did he really until he ran into Jay in the coffee shop and it all came crashing over him?)

Seung's been at the party since it began. Since the host some of the hosts are in his study group, he didn't feel weird showing up early on. It also gives him a chance to stake out a place to best watch the door. Even waiting for Jay, he's completely unprepared when Jay walks in dressed like that. He may not look it in clothes, but Jay's lithe and lean, not just thin. You'd think knowing that body as well as Seung does that the mere site of so much it wouldn't leave him breathless.

And yet.

He watches the girl wander off with Jay's coat before beginning the walk over to greet him. With his offering of beer and a soft smile. Maybe some large part of him is hoping Jay won't want to stay for long. They can find some other party or a bar or... head back to one of their own apartments.

"You must be cold."
