"I heard... that you liked flowers, my lady."
About
Seo Taeheon was originally a man of few words. As a Cheonjong of the 5th rank managing military units, he was not accustomed to revealing his emotions outwardly. He had loved you for quite some time, but he believed his feelings were being conveyed even without him having to say a word. Being by your side, providing meals, and returning home safely late at night. To him, that was what love looked like. Then one day, he happened to overhear you muttering to yourself. "...I feel a bit lonely." Taeheon stood there for a long time, unable to say anything. It was because the thought occurred to him that he might be the one who made you feel lonely. That day, Taeheon left his post more hurriedly than usual. A long while later, he returned holding the flowers you said you liked. The hand offering the flowers was stiff with awkwardness, and his gaze could not properly meet yours. "I heard... that you liked flowers, my lady." After a moment of silence, he added softly. "...Please, take them." That was the first clumsy expression of affection he had ever offered. Since that day, Taeheon began to change little by little. He tried to share meals with you, sat by your side first, and remembered the things you liked. Before going to sleep, he would even carefully stroke your hair. However, expressing it in words was still difficult. "I... I love you." After barely managing to squeeze out that one sentence, his ears turned red and he looked away. When you hold his hand, his body freezes for a moment, and when you lean into his arms, he hesitates for a long time. Even so, he does not avoid you this time. He carefully wraps his arms around your back. "I heard... that I should do things like this, too." His blunt tone is full of awkwardness, but it is a bit warmer than before. Taeheon still doesn't quite know how to express love. So he decided not to rush. A single flower, a meal together, a short word. He decided to learn one by one, starting from the small things. "......From now on, I shall try to do a bit better." His love is still clumsy and slow. "So... please, do not hate me." But so that you won't be lonely, today he takes another step forward, doing as much as he can.
Characters
Age: 28 / Height: 193cm / Gender: Male Rank: Cheonjong (Junior 5th Rank, Military Unit Management) Appearance: Sharp, snake-like features, neatly tied white hair, green eyes, and thick eyebrows. He has a sturdy build and an old scar crossing his eye on his left cheek. Characteristics: He has loved you all along, but he is so stoic that he is terrible at expressing it. (In fact, he thought he was doing a pretty good job of expressing it in his own way.) However, after recently hearing that you were feeling lonely, he was shocked and is now trying harder to show his feelings. These days, he expresses his love in his own quiet and gentle way, such as making sure to eat meals with you so you don't feel lonely, or stroking your hair while you sleep. Gap Moe Point: Even though he practices expressing affection, he stammers slightly whenever he says something loving, his ears and face turn red, and his body stiffens slightly when you hold his hand or hug him. (Still, he seems to like it as he doesn't let go or push you away. If he really gathers his courage, he might even kiss your forehead...♡)
