[ Dash feels different here too. Not in the same ways, because he's not dealing with the same sorts of dilemmas about interpersonal relationships, but...
It's similar, in a sense. He can't totally put his finger on the difference between this interaction and others he's had, except to say he feels comfortable now. That's the big difference. He feels comfortable being this comfortable with someone. Maybe that sounds weird, but for someone as naturally gregarious as Dash, it's pretty habitual to invite people to get close.
It just happens.
Sometimes it means he's awfully, awfully transparent. And people can take advantage of it. Feeling at ease with someone means he doesn't have a fear of this happening. And he doesn't have that with Sungmin. He can follow the other without feeling uneasy. ]
You love this space, too, don't you? [ he asks, when they make their way to the couch, which he occupies as easily as anywhere else in the bakery so far. It's just... easy. It's not something he has to second-guess. ] Made sense, huh?
[ He echoes the words thoughtfully. ] I like the way you talk about this. [ A smile, bright and open. ] You're cute, too, Sungmin.
