<p>He shrugged and cleared his throat as he attempted to make it seem more optimistic than it probably was "I mean... if we look at it from <strong>their</strong> perspective, it's not... a bad thing when you are financially stable and have more than enough to afford another wife... or two.

Or three more. But yeah I can see why... it's yeah" He gave up trying to explain by the end because Eun too, was not a fan seeing as their first wife get sidelined by another mistress that the man was likely to divorce before the month ends. "Rich people are... weird, Leigh. I stopped trying to understand them a long time ago and just did my job without looking back" It helps when he closed himself and stood far from such a circle despite working closely with such people.</p>

He chuckled softly when the kitsune pointed out how the man sounds horrible "All the bad people are... very cunning when they want to be. It surprises me how they can be more cunning than my kitsune..." He stroked his hair gently and brought his hand down to tilt Leigh's chin, softening his eyes as he looked into the other male's dark hues "Yeah, don't argue with me, I argue for a living and I never... lose, baby. I don't like losing... hate to break that streak now, right?" Eun emanates a certain dominant aura sometimes which comes with the whole work he has on the line.</p>
<p><em>"But just between us... I would let you win any day Leigh... you know that right?"</em></p>
<p>Money meant nothing to me if he couldn't fulfill his happiness and with his work and high-profiled clients, the dhampir has made plenty of them, more than enough to last them for a while to live a comfortable life. He just wanted a simple life with the man he loves. He was elated because he knew the day to meet Leigh's parents was coming very soon. When asked if he wanted to come back to Leigh's place, the dhampir hummed softly in affirmation as he clasped his hand around the kitsune's "No other place I'd rather be..." </p> Leigh shook his head slightly…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2023-02-20:6610746:Comment:4344732023-02-20T10:06:44.573Z✓ Leighton Seth Kingsmanhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Leigh
<p>Leigh shook his head slightly “How is it that some of us can reach our late 20s and still be single and yet creepy old men can have four wives?” he pressed his lips together in disbelief of how crazy the world was that this was a reality. It made his skin crawl honestly because there could never be a good balance of power in relationships like that and he was sure those girls ended up heartbroken and feeling used. He could relate to all of that. “You can’t….give him any credit…he just sounds…</p>

Leigh laughed and nudged Eun when she proudly bragged about his own levels of charm “How did my boyfriend learn to become so bold, he doesn’t know the meaning of humble” he teased softly. Leigh nodded slightly when Eun said he liked being a lawyer “Remind me never to argue with you…you literally argue for work…I’ll never win” he jested softly.</p>
<p>“You’ve never been the type to focus only on money” he responded and nodded his head slightly “I mean…money is nice but it’s hardly fulfilling is it?” that’s exactly why Leigh had chosen to set up the bookstore when he knew he could make far more money in stock trading or financial advising “What’s the point in working if you aren’t happy in the process” he mumbled softly.</p>
<p>“Then I’ll set up the weekend and let you know possible dates…” he murmured softly and smiled “I’m excited…you’re not going want to leave after you taste their cooking though” Eun was always been motivated by food.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He chuckled when Leigh expressed his shock over the part where he had told him about one of the clients having four wives "Yeah exactly… you heard that right, I wasn't making things up. He actually did have four wives, and that's legally speaking. You know he had more girls and mistresses under his belt… and his wives would kill him if they knew.

He actually did have four wives, and that's legally speaking. You know he had more girls and mistresses under his belt… and his wives would kill him if they knew. I guess it comes with being rich and powerful… he married them all because of his personal gain." It was true when people said money equals power. That eas the reason why some people married rich. For you to get what you want, you have to have money. "I do have to give it to him though… he's like 74 years old but he knows how to manage his personal affairs in order… None of his wives even knew what's going on." He had to give it to the man, he was smart. </span></p>

Your boyfriend is just so charming he can't even help it. What am I going to do? My shoulders are so high I can't even bring them down." He was glad to hear those words of reassurances though. The kitsune might think it's just a few words but to the dhampir, it meant a lot. For him, who has spent his entire life just following others instead of following himself, to appease others without thinking what he, Sangeun Moon, wanted. That was a big thing for him. "Thank god I like being a lawyer actually…" Though he does wish he could focus more on being a criminal lawyer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I remember my father saying I should go for civil litigation… but… that's just where the money is at, no/ necessarily my passion." And Eun was forever glad he went against his father on that part. He was taking notes the whole time, what his mother liked and what his father would prefer. All of those information was going to be useful to him for sure. "I already know which I'm going to get them both… thanks Leigh." He grasped his hand gently, time felt like it's a foreign concept because he had no idea that they're already in front of the doorstep. "The date Leigh… Thank you for that. And of course, don't forget about our date at your house… I can't wait, honestly I'm just so excited I'm feeling fantastic."</span></p> Leigh was happy to see the wa…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2023-02-11:6610746:Comment:4344292023-02-11T11:00:31.532Z✓ Leighton Seth Kingsmanhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Leigh

<p>He noticed that Eun seemed a little nervous about the idea and he couldn’t really blame him, it must be a scary idea to meet someone else’s family when your own was so complicated right “She loves sunflowers…anything that brightens up the room really” she was a warm person so he supposed her tastes matched that. “And my father loves a good bottle of whiskey…I’ll help you pick out one he’ll love” he commented and smiled “You’re going to steal the spot as their favorite person, I can already tell” Eun was the type of person his parents only dreamed he would get to meet.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wasn't well versed in matters that were not near his circle, which was surprisingly a lot despite him being a lawyer. He was supposed to know a lot of things, he was well stocked up on general knowledge but of course coming from someone who grew up in a rather conservative family and culture, Eun wouldn't know what different sexualities meant. But now it made sense and for the first time in his life, he felt… accomplished and free. To understand who he was,…</span></p>

He was supposed to know a lot of things, he was well stocked up on general knowledge but of course coming from someone who grew up in a rather conservative family and culture, Eun wouldn't know what different sexualities meant. But now it made sense and for the first time in his life, he felt… accomplished and free. To understand who he was, Leigh was helping greatly. "I do see a lot of people in my line of work. As a lawyer… I mingle with politicians a lot back home… diplomats are the type of people I see every single day, I can tell you all of them have a penchant for flirting, even when they already had two husbands I swear… or some who has already had 4 wives." Just thinking about it made him shudder because how was someone that shameless? </span></p>

He smiled softly as he fixed his gaze on the kitsune "Unlike you." There was no surprise that Eun loved making Leigh's heart flutter, it felt so natural for him to do that, because isn't every boyfriend's job is to make their significant other happy? The dhampir pursed his lips and shrugged when Leigh mentioned family, "That's why I hope too honestly… I really want everyone… to accept things as they were. Jae's happy, I hope I can follow his footsteps and find my own footing with you…" But no matter how optimistic he wants to be, Eun knew it wouldn't be easy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was only enough room for one in their family for that type of rebelliousness. And Eun would give anything if it meant his brother finally gets his shot at happiness. It doesn't mean he wants to give up on his, though. The thought of meeting Leigh's family made him nervous because it felt like he's going to mess it up if he didn't put in a good first impression. "Kebabs sound delicious… I'll bring some pastries and sweets, and oh… what's your mother's favorite flowers? I'll be sure to bring that too. Maybe I should bring something good for your father too… wine maybe?" He has already calculated everything in his head and if there was one thing Eun's good at, it's planning.</span></p> Leigh nodded his head slightl…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2022-06-12:6610746:Comment:4320942022-06-12T22:22:15.138Z✓ Leighton Seth Kingsmanhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Leigh
<p>Leigh nodded his head slightly, Eun had talked about it before, it was a little strange to someone like him because he couldn’t imagine not experiencing things the way he knew, but what he knew for sure was he was really glad Eun chose him “Hey, there’s never been anything wrong with you” he pointed out, almost scolding him a little because Leigh couldn’t stand people he cared about talking down on themselves.

He chuckled softly “You must see all kinds of different people in your line of work” and he wasn’t able to pass any judgements, he had to defend them regardless of the circumstances.</p>

He nodded slightly, he knew parents could be difficult, they tended to push their wants or even failed achievements into pressure for their kids to do things different “It’s not healthy to live under so much pressure” Eun must feel scared that he couldn’t measure up to those massive goalposts. He pressed his lips together sadly at Eun’s wish “I’ll keep hoping on your behalf…I know family means everything to you” the dhampir would drop everything in a heartbeat for his brother after all.</p>
<p>Leigh knew he was lucky that way, having parents who supported him and his wishes, they never judged him or told him what he could or couldn’t do. He was half expecting Eun to say the plans were too short notice but instead he was prying for more questions in excitement “Why not? My family are home on the weekends and they’ll be so excited if I tell the I’m coming home and bringing someone…” he offered a smile “Don’t worry, we’re the kind of family where you can drop by any time, there’s no barriers” he offered a smile.</p>
<p>Leigh laughed and nodded slightly “Well my mom does love flowers and anything baked and sweet” he commented squeezed his hand gently “You haven’t? It’s a lot of fun, we get a bunch of food and usually have a bonfire out in the yard, summer is the perfect time for it too” he was looking forward to it “Do you have any requests?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He hummed softly and perched both hands to stare at the kitsune with a big smile "Looking back at it and then at you… you're right, I could've had my pick on literally anyone. But nothing about that ever interested me… I didn't know why. I was a bit worried, not gonna lie. At first… I thought that something was wrong with me because I wasn't wasn't attracted to others.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He hummed softly and perched both hands to stare at the kitsune with a big smile "Looking back at it and then at you… you're right, I could've had my pick on literally anyone. But nothing about that ever interested me… I didn't know why. I was a bit worried, not gonna lie. At first… I thought that something was wrong with me because I wasn't wasn't attracted to others. Or people, in general." Leigh was right, there was no way he was so conservative when he fell for Leigh, this is probably something most wouldn't even expect from him, of all people. But he is just grateful he wasn't emotionless and this is really him finding his one. "I'm pretty open minded… or else I wouldn't be a lawyer… and be with you, Leigh… you're everything to me, I learned that pretty quickly." </span></p>

"I don't think anything is enough for my father if we're being honest. If you asked Jae… nothing is ever enough to satisfy him." Sometimes he wondered how did someone like that end up with their kind mother who always gives but never receives. But he also learned that his father wasn't always like that which made him sympathise a bit. "I wish he'd return to the man he once was…" He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and grinned when he said he should be praised more "I don't expect much, I never have. I just wanted to be enough." And to Leigh who has always told him he's enough, that's already plenty. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wanted to meet Leigh's parents, he wanted to spend more time with the kitsune and that includes forming a relationship or any sort of bond with his family. Maybe it'll help him in the long run. 6 hours doesn't seem long to the dhampir, he could do 6 hours, especially when he would be spending every minute with Leigh. "Can we really do it next weekend? I'd love to… excuse my giddiness but the prospect of meeting your family is… something." It really is. "Won't I be imposing? Doing such last minute planning… I don't want to make it uncomfortable for your family." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He did blush when he was told his presence would be enough to which he scoffed playfully to hide the faint pink on his cheeks and mumbled "I'll bring something. I know my existence is enough to a lot of people but hey, can't be too careful" and of course Sangeun Moon tries to cover it up with his smug narcissistic ass.

<p>Leigh leaned against the table as he watched Eun, a small smile on his lips because he loved it whenever the dhampir talked about himself and the things he liked “That is surprising…surely you must have had plenty of attention, you could have had your pick of anyone” the kitsune had certainly fallen for him almost immediately, it was impossible not to like someone when they were so charming and kind, Eun had made his heart flutter from day one. “Oooh that’s quite the man” he chimed in and…</p>

<p>“It must have been so frustrating for you” he stroked his hand gently against his arm and offered a comforting smile as though to say he would support him regardless of whether things went well or not. Leigh blinked because he wasn’t expecting Eun to want to make the suggestion tangible so quickly but he quickly picked himself back up “I guess as long as we didn’t leave in heavy traffic it would take about 6 hours?” he raised his brows as though to question if he was serious about wanting to go, it made his heart flutter that he did seem it. “I guess if I call my mom we could go next weekend?” his parents were usually around at the weekends and would be happy to push their schedule aside if they got to see him anyway. <br/> <br/>“You don’t have to bring gifts though, just your presence will be enough” he smiled encouragingly, excited about the idea of being able to bring Eun home to meet his parents.</p> The kitsune is still cute eve…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-12-24:6610746:Comment:4310612021-12-24T14:36:39.577Z✓ Sangeun Moonhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Smiley

I mean I have never really crushed on actual people that's within my reach before… surprising, I know" which made him wonder if he is just incapable or desensitised back then, until he realized it was something more. "But celebrity crushes? Ashton Kutcher…" He grinned when Leigh pointed out that his traditional ways are romantic "I'm glad you see it that way, most people might think I'm too conservative" he's honestly glad the other male didn't didn't so because the dhampir is very connected to his roots and wouldn't want to change anything about himself when it comes to that. </span></p>

Eun pressed his lips together and shrugged, because even he couldn't describe his relationship with his family in an easier manner. "I guess that comes with having a dysfunctional family? I don't know… my mother is pretty nice, she's very loving. But my father, although not that bad, he can be controlling and he doesn't even see the wrong in it and that's often the problem" the fact is that his father wanted to right his wrongs but didn't realize it was ruining his children. "Pressure was always around me as a kid… I was the eldest, the firstborn, I had to be the best example for my younger siblings. And let's just say, law school was even more brutal because everyone had connections." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if he aced the bar exam, there was no telling he'd be able to find an adequate firm to take him in if he wasn't wasn't as his father's son. Talent can only take you so far and it left a bitter taste in his mouth. One day, he's going to start his own firm. He thanked the waitress for bringing their drinks and took a sip of his, ears perking up at the sudden mention of a trip. "Sounds spontaneous, how long will the drive be to your hometown? I can drive" he offered, why wouldn't he want to meet Leigh's family, it's a step further in solidifying their relationship. "I want to know when too, I need to prepare some gifts, I need to do my best to impress my boyfriend's family, no? I need one week at least though."</span></p> Leigh laughed and blushed sli…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-12-04:6610746:Comment:4309262021-12-04T22:20:44.221Z✓ Leighton Seth Kingsmanhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Leigh
<p>Leigh laughed and blushed slightly, perhaps he did always tend to find himself with crushes on people older than him, he preferred those who were mature, that was his type for sure “Can you blame me…” he murmured softly as he watched the dhampir with a soft expression “Maybe that’s it…though I’m curious to know what kind of crushes you’ve had that are older than you” he bit his lip and smiled softly, Eun was kinda mysterious about his type and honestly he wasn’t sure if the other male would…</p>

<p>Leigh nodded slightly “What we have feels like so much more than a phase” he commented softly, he didn’t want to make bold proclamations about what future they could have because honestly, he wasn’t sure how things would play out, given that they came from such different worlds and things were complicated, all he knew is he wanted to hold onto this. “I was never really good with pressure, I used to have the habit of biting my nails and it got really bad whenever exams came around” thankfully it was something he had been able to break the habit of but it hadn’t been easy.</p>
<p>Leigh laughed when he said he wanted to steal his dad “Honestly I have the feeling he’s going to want to steal you right back” he teased softly and looked up at him with a grin “If you think you can out-eat two therians then you are in line for a wake-up call mister” he teased as he looked up seeing the waitress bring over the drinks they ordered “Why don’t we go see them then…I’m overdue a trip home and they’ll fawn like crazy if I tell them I’m bringing you” not that he wanted to put any pressure but he was dying for Eun to meet his family.</p>
