Her words lingered in the air as she turned, moving back toward her bunk, her steps as measured & quiet as they had been when she approached. But even as she settled onto the mattress, her gaze flickered back toward him, watching, waiting.

‘hey fuck you, man.’ nam-gyu says, quick and raw. he leans back far enough that his spine kisses the abandoned sofa behind him, all for the reclamation of space. the upset rises from the fact it is both damningly accurate and also none of the sort: it neglected to realise that nam-gyu never stood a chance against expectation. that life had, in fact, been nothing but a noose disguised as love and ambition, the pride and belief one harbours for an only son that can never be met with reality. all he had once wanted was to be himself, to breathe in a world that suffocated him but he never expected how hard that want would be to maintain. (and all thanos' words had managed to do was to make him feel small, exposed. like an open wound. as though he's in that house again, at that table. like an unescapable cycle, he finds himself back there, chained to his youth. fuck you.) his jaw sets into a hard line. ‘what do you want to hear? that i'm a fucking mess? you think you know shit because you come over and take my fucking drugs? not everything belongs to you.’

❝  my  mother  doesnt  know  what  im  doing  here  .  she  thinks  im  her  golden  child  .  the  guy  with  a  CAREER  ,  WITH  MONEY  .  ❞  a  soft  tsk  sound  leaves  his  lips  ,  head  shakes  .  ❝  sorry  ,  man  .  ❞  hes  not  the  best  when  it  comes  to  apologies  .  hes  not  the  best  ...  when  it  comes  to  being  HONEST  EITHER  .  ❝  you  dont  gotta  talk  about  it  if  you  dont  want  to  .  ❞  dismissive  motion  of  his  hand  .  silence  .  ITS  AWKWARD  &  maybe  any  other  person  would  have  long  left  .  nam  -  gyu  is  upset  and  thanos  is  the  reason  .  ❝  want  me  to  leave  ?  ❞

‘it's a short story.’ nam-gyu doesn't look at thanos when he speaks, but directs his attention instead towards the glowing ember rolled between his fingertips, as though he is searching within it the answers. it's flat, monotone, squashing all the sounds that make it seem like he cares. ‘we don't talk.’

he  leans  forward  now  ,  elbow  rests  on  his  knee  .  ❝  thats  all  you  can  say  ?  WE  DONT  TALK  ?  ❞  hes  nosey  ,  thanos  always  has  been  .  he  knows  ,  if  he  was  in  nam  -  gyus  situation  ,  he  wouldnt  say  another  word  .  but  hes  not  the  one  receiving  the  question  ,  hes  the  one  ASKING  THE  QUESTIONS  .  ❝  you  fucked  up  didnt  ya  ?  whats  made  you  into  the  black  sheep  ?  the  drugs  ?  fights  ?  GAMBLING  ?  come  on  ,  dont  leave  me  hangin'  bro  .  dont  we  share  everything  with  each  other  ?  ❞  promplty  ,  hands  reach  out  and  take  hold  of  one  of  nam  -  gyus  .  thumbs  brush  over  the  back  of  his  hand  &  he  scoots  a  tad  closer  .  ❝  you  can  tell  me  anything  ,  you  know  that  .  ❞
