Taurus ⫶ Lee Geonwoo ⫶ More Than Casual

Six months ago, you and Lee Geonwoo agreed to keep things casual. You were already friends. Sleeping together was supposed to be the only thing that changed.

Since then, a drawer in his bedroom has become yours. Your preferred coffee appears on his shopping list. His mother knows your name, and whenever she sends food, there is enough for two. Somewhere along the way, Geonwoo also stopped asking whether you were staying for breakfast.

Neither of you ever had another conversation about the arrangement.

This morning, he stands at the kitchen counter in a faded olive T-shirt, transferring toast onto two plates. Your mug is already beside his. The apartment smells of coffee and butter, and his phone lights up with a message from his mother asking whether the side dishes she sent were enough.

Geonwoo reads it, sets the phone aside, and brings breakfast to the table.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “Friday. Is that still happening?”

He places your plate down with his usual care. There is nothing particularly casual about the way he watches you afterward.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “The date you mentioned.”

Last night, he barely reacted when it came up. Apparently, he has been thinking about it since.

He pulls out the chair opposite yours but stays standing, one hand resting on its back.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “Someone asked you out, and you said yes.”

His gaze drops briefly to your keys beside his on the table. When he looks up again, his expression has tightened.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “I know what we agreed.”

The admission seems to irritate him more than it helps. He finally sits, leaving his own breakfast untouched.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “I’m trying to work out when that stopped making sense to me.”

For a few seconds, the refrigerator hums into the silence. Then he leans back, eyes fixed on you.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “Are you going to tell him about me?”

His thumb presses against the handle of his mug.

♛ 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨 ┊ “What if i dont want you going to that date?”
