synopsis // kit's siamese cats!

Even though it occurs weeks ago, Jeongguk can't stop thinking about the burning of Queens Bank. Less about the actual fire, more about a certain somebody spontaneously kissing him on the cheek. Jimin had reminded him that it was Kit kissing Spiderman, not him. Yeah Jeongguk reminds himself that too, but it still doesn't do him much justice from keeping the memory replaying in his head like a broken projector.

He even remembers Kitanna describing the encounter to them a couple days following the incident. The Chateu wasn't exactly open for business, but Kit had invited the two of them in to eat dinner together. It was becoming a tradition, he guesses. Repairmen filed in and out the restaurant, fixing whatever had been broken from the explosion.

"Crazy," she said. "he saved my life."

"How old does he seem?" Jimin had asked, and Jeongguk almost believed his curiosity, forgetting for a moment that Park knew exactly who Spiderman was. She makes an unsure noise, shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't know? His voice was so muffled under the mask, I couldn't tell. Maybe our age though? He can't be more than twenty. Looks too young to be older than that."

She doesn't mention how she kissed Spiderman on the cheek. Does she remember then? Maybe not, that had been a crazy day. Especially for a sixteen year old who usually isn't at the face of New York's weirdest activities everyday.

They're talking about the webbed superhero again, this time in company with Kit's two other friends, Hyebi and Katie. When it's those three together, they remind him of Siamese cats. Those things just look like they're never up to anything good, despite being really pretty to look upon.

In his opinion, Kit was the prettiest anyways. Popular boy Park felt that Hyebi was more of his taste, and Katie has made it very clear how she hates romantic feelings in general, but to be honest Kit Jung is the prettiest. Especially when she's mad. Most girls usually pout when they're angry, but Kit just scoffs and glares. It's unique.

Damn, he really does like his best-friend.

"What do you think?" Hyebi's voice calls to him, the four stare at him from down the table. "You've been awfully silent."

"About Spiderman?" Jeongguk repeats. It feels weird talking about himself in third person. "I mean what is there to say?"

"He saved Kit's life." She chimes, flipping her brown hair. "I think that's pretty crazy, right?"

"I mean that's his job too." He shrugs weakly. "I wouldn't take it super personally to be honest. There was a burning building right there. Spiderman was definitely there to help people in the area. It even made it on the news."

"Wow. Are you like anti-Spiderman?"

"No!" He scoffs at her. "I mean it's just not a big deal. That guy's doing his job." To help him out, Jimin nods in slight agreement. And put it honestly, she shouldn't take it personally. Jeongguk had been there because of the loud boom he had heard. Of course, after realizing that it had occurred so closely to Chateu Dough, maybe he had added it onto his list to find her, but it's better for Kit that she doesn't take it personally. Spiderman saved Kit because it was his job.

Checking the time, he gets up from the table to excuse himself. He has to start putting together his portfolio for his art class, and it's reasonable enough of an excuse where the most of them don't bat an eye at his departure. Well, he just really needed a reason to leave so he doesn't have to engage in the Spiderman topic any longer.

Frowning, Kit watches him walk away.
