"Since there isn't that much wall space in the bathroom," Hyukjae said, setting his finished meal aside, "I was thinking we could continue the blue into the bathroom and with the green and gold accents, and have the tiling be white."

"Sounds good to me," Donghae said, sitting back in his seat. 

"For the guest bedroom, I was thinking more of a light brown or beige that would also be present in the bathroom across the hall - since it is your guest bedroom for now," Hyukjae said, looking away from Donghae has he said the last bit.

"For the kitchen, I think grey would be a good backdrop color, with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. I feel like Sora would get by with adding plants to use as the color in the room," Hyukjae said. 

"What about counter tops?" Donghae asked. 

"I was thinking black, since I picked the lightest shade of grey I could find," Hyukjae said, sliding over the color he was imagining on the walls. "And then the Sora's accents.

"I guess I'll trust you," Donghae said softly. 

"I mean--I just thought with your age and line of work, you'd want something more modern; something that looks a little grown up and sophisticated," Hyukjae explained. 

"I know," Donghae replied. "I trust you, and I know you'll do a good job. You did fantastic with the house back in Mokpo." 

Hyukjae paused. Thinking about Donghae's house in Mokpo brought up a lot of unsettling feelings. Donghae's face changed, and Hyukjae's only plausible answer as to why Donghae was looking at him the way he was, was because Hyukjae's expression showed the turmoil he was experiencing inside.

"It's nothing," Hyukjae said, grabbing his papers from the table. "I was just thinking."
