Ahem, uh, Dongsik x Juwon Pride and Prejudice AU please?
ohhhh hi anon!!! thanks for the prompt!! this might turn into something i post on ao3 if i can get my brain to do it.
Dong Sik blinks as the door to his friends shop bursts open, the broad shoulders and dark attire immediately sparking recognition in Dong Sik. It wasn't uncommon for Joo Won to frequent the small butcher shop, it was the only one for miles but Dong Sik had figured he would only come when Jae Yi was around. The two seem to have an understanding of the other, as Jae Yi is one of the few people who defends the man when others complain about his attitude.
He stands quickly, smoothing down his shirt and blinking in confusion as Han Joo Won stands awkwardly by the door and doesn't say anything.
The clock in the corner ticks and Dong Sik stares, "Joo Won-ssi?"
The man startles and fidgets with his jacket, a sign of nervousness that Dong Sik has rarely seen from the younger man. He doesn't say anything, his lips tightening into a fine line and Dong Sik is struck again by how awkward the situation is.
Dong Sik clears his throat, shifting his weight from one foot to the other and cautiously states, "Do you want to sit down?"
The man makes a motion towards the chair but then must change his mind as he sways and then stays in the exact same spot. Joo Won opens his mouth once, then once again before he snaps it shut loudly. The sound of teeth smacking together makes Dong Sik flinch.
"Umm... Jae Yi's not here. She had an appointment..."
Joo Won nods sharply, glancing around the butcher shop and then at the cleaning supplies Dong Sik hadn't put away yet. "This...place looks very...clean."
Dong Sik blinks a few times, trying to process the information and nods slowly, "I figured it would be nice for Jae Yi to come back to a clean shop..."
Joo Won nods, swallowing a few times, "Yes...she is the only one that runs this place. I-It might be nice for her to...have help."
Dong Sik blinks again, his mind racing as he cant help but think 'what the hell is going on with Han Joo Won??'
It was a well known fact that Joo Won hated Dong Sik or at the very least saw the older man as less then. They barely get along for the sake of their friends and each encounter is always filled with tension, annoyance, and sass (on Dong Sik's part). So why was he here and acting so strangely?
Silence fills the room and Joo Won fidgets more, pulling on his buttons like he might take his coat off, so Dong Sik clears his throat, "Do you want me to get some tea? Or maybe coffee?"
That seems to encourage Joo Won a little bit, he stumbles over his words (also something Dong Sik has never witnessed before but has now seen twice in one setting) and half mumbles out, "Ah...No, thank you. I just wanted to-."
The door to the butcher shop bursts open again and Jae Yi comes through, shaking her umbrella off before glancing up at the two. Dong Sik sees her look of confusion, "Joo Won-ssi, what are you doing here?"
Dong Sik watches as the man stops fidgeting, pulls his coat closer to himself and then bows to both of them, "Have a good day."
He walks out swiftly, bowing slightly towards Jae Yi before slamming the door closed behind him. Both of them watch the door with confusion on their face and Jae Yi shoots Dong Sik a suspicious look, "What did you do to Joo Won-ssi, ahjussi?"
Dong Sik sputters for a second, his eyebrows furrowing, "Me?? I didn't do anything to him! He just came in here super awkward, barely said anything and then left."
Jae Yi doesn't look away and just raises her eyebrows, "Ahjussi, you tease him incessantly. What did you say this time?"
Dong Sik scoffs, "Yah! That's because he's always rude to me and deserves it. I'm telling you Jae Yi-ah, I just offered him tea!"
Jae Yi snorts, glancing at the door before shaking her head, "Well, he doesn't usually get that flustered, I wonder what was wrong."
Dong Sik shakes his head, glancing back at the cleaning supplies and then at the door again. What was going on with Han Joo Won?

cxnsolatio asked: "Happy birthday, old chap. Well, I say, you don't like a day over 50!" Brat.
Did he really just call him, old chap? Already he could feel the throb of annoyance building beneath his temples. He forced a thin smile, one could clearly tell it wasn’t terribly genuine.
“Who told you and what prompted you to acknowledge it at all?” Suspicion told him Trafalgar wished only to gain amusement in attempting to piss him off. Still it was a bit strange.
“For all you know, I’m ageless.” He responded with dry humor, eyes gleaming at the other from beneath the shadow of his hat’s brim.
