Immediately feeling like a creepy asshole, Jae doesn't respond for a long time. He stares at his CiD and then puts it back in his pocket, finishes his grocery shopping, and gets all the way home and starts putting things away - the lingering feeling of 'You're a jerk and you should mind your own business' hovering over him like some cartoon raincloud. Too dramatic? Certainly, but talking to Sunny still makes Jae in turns flustered and nervous as hell. It's a well-learned impulse to only orbit someone until he's done something embarrassing or they've gotten too close and then he discards them and vanishes. He doesn't know what to do here, trapped, wanting to disappear out of shyness half the time and wanting to be closer the other half. It's a selfish insecurity that Sunny doesn't deserve to have to put up with.

An hour and a half later, Jae texts him back. Lamely.

Kim Jaehyun. I'm not creative.

He types out an apology for being nosy, then deletes it, deciding he can't trust his paranoid brain to be subjective while moping in a guilt spiral.
