[because that's a totally normal question at 3:15 am on a sunday night, coming from haneul "han" lee, wealthy and beautiful boy with the voice of an angel and local celebrity status...who seems to have taken a keen interest in minjun this week.
[ minjun can't think of anyone messaging him this late unless it's his parents with an emergency, so he blinks blearily at his screen with a tiny bit of trepidation before he just squints when the words float into sentences.
well. barely there sentences. because of course it's whoever this is again. after numerous messages, they still hasn't bothered to introduce themselves, so minjun hasn't bothered replying. until now, because he's typing it out before he can think. ]
[ minjun blinks. and then blinks again. this has to be a dream and maybe he's still happily sleeping. because why is haneul of all people messaging him? ]
What? That's very generalizing of you. Just because I wear black doesn't mean you can put a label on me willynilly and call it a day.
[ pausing, minjun sighs into his pillow. he's not about to get into a spiel at someone he barely knows and should barely even look at if he cared for whatever social rules everyone on campus seem to love to follow to a T. ]
Nevermind that. Why are you messaging me in the middle of the night? Or... at all?
[ minjun has half a mind to just turn his phone upside down, ignore it and go back to sleep. he groans and glares a the darkened shadow of the ceiling for a bit before another message comes in.
none of it makes sense. ]
At midnight.
You were thinking of me? Sure. If this is some prank, can't it wait until tomorrow?
[ minjun won't argue that. he doesn't always go to bed at midnight, usually it's a little later, or earlier, depending. but today was an early day and he just wanted the extra sleep, dammit.
he would probably have more compassion if this wasn't conveyed through text. as it is, his trust isn't very high, even as han insists. for all minjun knows, he could be throwing out a bad pick up line and minjun just happened to be the next guinea pig to be laughed at for falling for it. ]
How am I supposed to know? Maybe you need to sleep.
[ minjun knows what happens at 3am. it's a magical hour but he's not too enthused to start talking about that with a random stranger. unless... if he weirds him out enough, han will leave him alone. ]
Or maybe a ghost possessed you. 3 am is a time of unrest for spirits and demons. Perhaps they got hungry.
[ minjun sighs and rubs at his face. yes he can admit he got that fed back to him. he might have less than stellar experiences with han's... "type". but that's neither here nor there. ]
[ ah. there it is, the pick up line that kind of... sounds weird coming from someone like haneul to someone like minjun. he's not about to trust that too easily. ]
Now you're starting to sound like that reputation you say is generalizing you.
[ but that aside. ]
Who would I tell? I've no interest in gossip. Besides, even I did, no one would believe me over you.
I don't know, you tell me. I've not been booty called before.
[ minjun looks up to the corner of his room at that, feeling a little caught off guard. the dark blob of shadows there shift a little under his scrutiny and minjun bites his lip.
so.
it's not a prank, then. ]
You have visions. Premonitions? How is the dog's eyes weird? Does it only happen at night?

At midnight.

no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:16 pm (UTC)[and terrifying. han sees a lot of things that he thinks are terrifying.]
it could. if it was a prank. but it's not, so no it couldn't wait.
seriously. it's 3 am and i was thinking of you. just out of the blue.
that has to mean something, you know?

Date: 2023-02-12 06:34 pm (UTC)[maybe he needs to sleep or maybe he got possessed by a hungry ghost, which is it? maybe it's both.]
how do you know all this stuff?
well i know how you know. you're in the library a lot. but what started it? did something happen?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:39 pm (UTC)You're generalizing again.
What started what, exactly?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:45 pm (UTC)your interest in all the weird creepy stuff.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:48 pm (UTC)Why do you want to know?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:49 pm (UTC)maybe i'm interested in it too.
[it's not even a complete lie.]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:51 pm (UTC)Why?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 06:53 pm (UTC)i think i asked you first.

What, why I know about "weird creepy stuff"?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 07:03 pm (UTC)a lot of people run from that sort of thing for one reason or another. my friends either laugh at scary movies, or they won't watch them at all.

Date: 2023-02-12 07:18 pm (UTC)my grandma used to come to my room every night.
she died three months before i was born.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 07:30 pm (UTC)[ there's a moment before he replies again. ]
So. You see things?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 07:32 pm (UTC)i've never told anyone about any of this before. can i really trust you?

no subject
Date: 2023-02-12 09:22 pm (UTC)[he actually laughs to himself. but then...maybe that sort of thing would really work with someone like minjun.]
i don't know. maybe you have a sleep paralysis demon in the corner of your room.
but sure, sometimes i see things. my dead grandma. my neighbor's dog has weird eyes.
last week i saw that train crash that's been on the news. before it happened.

i don't know...i break into a sweat and i feel a little sick. the doctor said it was a blood sugar drop or something but
they don't look like a dog's eyes. they're too...knowing. kind of human. he watches me, and yeah, it's mostly at night.
