RyeoWook doesn’t like SiWon much.

He doesn’t quite hate him,

But he definitely doesn’t like him.

RyeoWook understands perfectly well the characters they’re playing and knows that his height and build are things he can’t change and was prepared for a bit of manhandling going into this–

But SiWon is taking it too far and it’s pissing RyeoWook off royally.

Never in all his life, not even as a toddler with his parents, has he ever felt so harassed.

And it’s one thing, in front of the camera posing as a couple, but it’s something else entirely being clung to during breaks.

And he gets that SiWon is just a generally touchy, friendly person, but he seems to have some sort of special attachment to RyeoWook or something because he hasn’t left his side since he stepped out of hair and makeup.

And it’s nothing too serious, not yet, but it’s a habitual arm over his shoulder or just standing way too close–

Close enough to emphasize their very obvious height difference and RyeoWook is not enjoying it.

And SiWon can’t seem to take a hint, either!

It’s not like they’re old pals, so why does SiWon keep following him when RyeoWook is very clearly avoiding him?

What the hell even is that?

If it weren’t for the precariousness of the project and the fact that HeeChul was the person who recommended him and the fact that he’s friends with Kyu, RyeoWook probably would have cussed him out by now.

He’s trying to be understanding about this, but what kind of person just immediately jumps all over someone the first time they meet?

And he knows he’s especially and unusually stand-off-ish by Korean standards, but he could honestly kill someone right now after having his space invaded so much.

He has half-a-mind to take it out on Chul for getting him to agree to this in the first place.

(He’s not a porcelain doll, dammit.)
