Taeja lingered in the monstrous foyer of his house, the better to reach the front door before either of his parents. Jin-ae's pen was in his bedroom; he had left her watching yet another K-drama, enraptured by purple dialogue and sweeping, emotional movements. Taeja had rolled his eyes only a little upon leaving. He would never have admitted it to anyone, least of all Jin-ae, but he was beginning to enjoy a few of her programs. He would have to be mindful, upon returning to his room, not to ask her what he'd missed. More than once he had almost slipped up.
His bare feet made quiet susurrations as he waited for his guest to arrive. He had received the text some time ago, and expected the sullen, silent boy at any moment. Bysshe had never visited his palatial home, and Taeja's primary concern was that his classmate might attract undue attention to them as they retreated to the safety of his room. He turned over countless excuses in his mind, knowing he would need one at the ready should his mother appear. They had no classes together, but perhaps he could claim the boy was interested in the swim team, or higher-level courses for his next year. Satisfied with this plan, he moved closer to the door, opening it upon hearing footsteps on the porch outside.
