soobin: "Are you thirsty?"
y/n: "A little."
soobin: "Here."
y/n: "Thank you."
soobin: "Let me get my laptop so you can look at my essay."
y/n: "O-okay."
y/n: See? We really are just going to work on his essay.
soobin: "You can sit."
y/n: ....on his bed.
soobin: "I feel stuck on how to rephrase this paragraph here."
y/n: "Let me see."
soobin: "Okay."
y/n: "I feel like you have a good definition of person perception. That's really clear to me. Maybe include an example?"
soobin: "I did. Right here."
y/n: "Hm... but maybe something more specific? See, your professor circled this and said to make up an additional example of your own."
soobin: "Like what, though?"
y/n: "Maybe think of a time where you or someone you know made a judgment about someone based off certain internal or external qualities."
soobin: "But who?"
y/n: "I don't know. You can use yourself as an example, maybe?"
soobin: "Hm... oh! I thought of one."
y/n: "Let's hear it."
soobin: "How I gathered my first impression of you."
y/n: "Me? How?"
soobin: "I judged you based off of your internal qualities."
y/n: "Like what?"
soobin: "I lent you a pen once. You never returned it at the end of the day."
y/n: "Oh. Sorry."
soobin: "But then you returned it to me the next day and you were really apologetic about it. You even gave me an extra pen. So I could tell that you were an honest and sincere person."
y/n: "All because of a pen, huh?"
soobin: "Yep. The power of the pen." (stands up) "Speaking of, let me get a pen so I can write down that example here."
y/n: (laughs) "Alright."
soobin: "What about you?"
y/n: "Hm?"
soobin: "How did you form a judgment about me: based off external or internal qualities?"
y/n: "Honestly?"
soobin: (nods)
y/n: "External."
soobin: (laughs) "I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
y/n: "External, at first! But then after I got to get to know you... internal. Definitely internal."
soobin: "What internal qualities did you like about me?"
y/n: "How you care for your friends when they're down. Remember that one time Beom... I mean, I just remember this one time, someone you knew was really down about themselves. And you were very attentive with them. It was sweet."
soobin: "I always thought you secretly felt like I was a jerk."
y/n: "Why would you think that?"
soobin: "You barely talked to me before."
y/n: "Maybe I was just nervous."
soobin: "Maybe. Not as nervous as you are nowadays, though."
y/n: "I told you, I just feel out of it these days."
soobin: "How can I make you not nervous?"
y/n: "You can't."
soobin: "Are you nervous right now?"
y/n: "No."
[SOOBIN leans in]
soobin: "How about now?"
y/n: ".....no."
[SOOBIN leans in more]
soobin: "How about--"
y/n: "O-okay! I thought we were going to work on your essay."
soobin: "Let's take a break."
y/n: "But we just started."
[SOOBIN leans in]
y/n: (stands up) "H-hey, what's this?"
soobin: "My bulletin board."
y/n: "Did you do something different with it?"
soobin: "Nope." (walks over) "Should I rearrange it?"
y/n: "Maybe you can add new photos."
soobin: "That's true. I haven't taken any on my Polaroid recently."
y/n: "Where's your Polaroid?"
soobin: "Here in one these drawers."
[SOOBIN looks through drawer]
soobin: "I know it's in here somewhere..."
y/n: "Maybe it's in this drawer?"
[Y/N opens drawer]
soobin: "I still can't find it. Did you?"
(silence)
soobin: "[y/n]? Did you find--"
[Y/N shuts drawer]
y/n: "I have to go."
soobin: "But I thought--"
y/n: "Email me the rest of your essay and I'll look it over later. I just remembered I have an errand to run."
soobin: "At night?"
y/n: "I-it's a night errand. Can only be done, you know... at night. I'll see you tomorrow!"
soobin: "Okay... good--"
[Y/N leaves]
soobin: "...night."
