( He has to buy Elijah a present, doesn't know where to start. And while she and Jaeyi are decidedly different, there's enough interlap there. Maybe Gaon will be proud of him for offering too, who knows? A win-win.
But. He's also as much of a sly bitch, so. )
As long as you don't leave any of your deliveries in my car. You know I'm in the public eye.
A girl. Sixteen. She likes purses but the ones I choose are always "shaped like a halmeoni's cushion". We went through a popmart phase, but that feels a little too lacklustre.
I want her to not be angry with me, so it needs to look like I've made the effort.
( One would argue he is making an effort outsourcing, since he doesn't particularly like to rely on other people. But there's a disconnect between what Yohan thinks is good and what Elijah does, and so he's flying blind. )
Oh did you get her Loius Vuitton or something? They're classy but not cute. You need something cute and classy and expensive. If she had a popmart phase, have you considered display bags or cases?
( Hang on, he's googling Labubu carrying cases. That might work. )
Angry enough she hasn't spoken to me for the last few days. Cute and classy and expensive. Well, these display bags are expensive, but I don't know about classy.
( Or maybe he had been tricked by the cherubic way Elijah had been as a child. The change now is his own doing, leaning too hard to the role he's given himself. )
( Ah, who is he to judge? He thinks he'd do the same if anything happened to Kim Gaon. )
A miumiu. All right, I'll look into that. Thank you, Jaeyi. You've been helpful. I'll only complain a little if you ask for that lift too late tonight.

My deliveries are perfectly innocent. They might help, even.
[ But she won't leave anything in the car. ]

Something that says 'I'm overbearing for a reason, please take this.'
( Help. That's a little funny. But he's sure she believes it, in her own way. She's very young. He did some terrible things when he was her age too. )

Expensive is fine.

Possibly the turn away from it is my influence.

what'd you do make her turn away from it?

( There's no harm in being honest with her. He thinks they have enough of an understanding. )
She's stuck with me either way. So, the purses.
no subject
[ Is that too much? That's too much. Oh well. ]
Get her a miumiu. They're cute and quirky and girlish but not overly so, and expensive enough to wow anyone.
