[ why did you do this now we're 5/5 for serious threads. where is my head empty
funny how moments of joy can be cut short so abruptly. yona's birthday party. this pillow fight. soo-won crumples slightly and hak immediately drops his pillow, hand reaching out instead to grab onto soo-won's arm, steadying. ]
soo-won is steadied—but he really didn't need to be steadied. hak drops his pillow and gets close, and soo-won recovers in the blink of an eye to absolutely whallop hak with the fucking pillow he didn't let go of
did you think i'd really do that to pillow fights
hak: he'll use every dirty trick in the book to win soo-won: and i took that personally ]
had soo-won done literally anything else, things probably would have been fine. but touching on his illness means touching on the imminent threat of his mortality, which is enough to activate hak's bsod even if only for a second.
but apparently a second is enough to kill his enthusiasm, and in the wake of soo-won's (deserved) victory, hak just sort of....sits there. ]
Fine. You win.
[ he's even lost the will to narrate? fucked up. ]
[ when hak tried to thrash him in the water tribe, me like oh yes the only reason i remember this location name is because i played lili let me help clarify ]

soo-won watches him for a long moment and then he goes to sit on the bed next to him.
he pokes his cheek annoyingly ]
You don’t want me to die.
Is that right?
no subject
Who in their right mind wants someone to die?
no subject
You did. In Sensui.
[ when hak tried to thrash him in the water tribe, me like oh yes the only reason i remember this location name is because i played lili let me help clarify ]
no subject
That was a long time ago.
[ it was probably like six months ago ]
no subject
Your face was so scary! I'd only see you look like that at other people! Wah, my heart raced.
[ STOP MAKING LIGHT OF HAK'S MURDER ATTEMPT ]
no subject
Should I do it again?
no subject
You could but you already seem plenty at war with yourself.
[ what would hak do if he actually succeeded in killing soo-won at this point? ]
no subject
And whose fault is that?
[ goodbye their innocent pillow fight, hello the return of hak's Too Many Feelings. at least they're all mostly under control right now. anyway, ]
You don't get to use me as a pillow this time.
no subject
[ they could just leave things alone... but also... he does look sad about the last part... ]
Eh...
[ like that wouldn't be so awkward
but it's a nice memory ]
no subject
okay well ]
Fine. I'll stop talking to you then.
[ he won't do this ]
no subject
[ moves to stand ]
no subject
You leaving now isn't going to change anything.
[ just stay in the stupid room ]
no subject
You're so fickle, Hak...
no subject
Are you tired?
no subject
Gah.
No... I'm not. [ which he sounds pretty happy about ] I haven't been tired since we got here.
[ so he also hasn't slept since they got here ]
no subject
You should still get some rest.
no subject
You're beginning to sound like Joo-doh...
[ overly fretting ]
no subject
I'm better looking than Joo-doh.
[ okay ]
no subject
[ amused!! ]
But I'm fine. Really. I don't think I could hide it well from you anyway.
[ he fucking noticed last time! ]
no subject
You managed to hide other things from me.
[ but that's not the point. unceremoniously, hak flops down and rolls onto the bed until his back is facing soo-won. ]
If you're not going to rest, I'm going to take a nap.
no subject
[ too bad... but soo-won just huffs, reaching out to fluff hak's pillow obnoxiously and then lift the covers to tuck him in ]
I'll stand guard outside. Rest well.
