[Yeah, in the moment, same.]

...For right now, yeah. It comes and goes.

[ Niah whines cause the Atmosphere seems sad. ]

You would make an annoying lifeguard. [ Just saying. ] … You will be all right.

[unrecked]

[Niah, Niah. He goes back to petting Niah for the hush. Atmosphere is sad, but it's fine.]

Wow, thanks. I was a great lifeguard actually. [Just saying. He saved his girlfriend.] I know.

Why, worried?

[malewife]

You can be great and annoying.

[ He never said Jason did bad work. Pensive… ]

As I said earlier, you would be more annoying as a lifeguard or a newlywed. I wouldn’t tolerate it.

[ the answer is yes… He prefers Jason as he is. ]

[unrecked]

[Was he… He got eaten by a shark…

He gives Joonghyuk this weird look at being so casually… parented.]

I can be a lifeguard or a newlywed if I want.

[He is just being petulant now.]

[malewife]

[ lifeguards are supposed to save people right… he did that at least…? ]

You’re saying that to get on my nerves.

[ And while the statement itself doesn’t, the act of defiance is a little annoying. In a pleasant way, to be specific. ]

What matters is that it’s your choice and if those are the things you want to be.

[unrecked]

Now you’re using reverse psychology on me.

[Can’t he just be strong and stupid? Rather than strong and mouthy.]

Because now I’m going to say I don’t want to be either of those things just because you said I could.

[malewife]

[ In his mind, he’s basically looking into the camera as Jason accuses him of doing overcomplicated things without reward. ]

You can be anything except dead. This is not reverse psychology, fool.

[unrecked]

[Listen. He waves a hand from side to side dismissively.]

I can’t exactly help the first one. Don’t worry. I’m not planning on being a lifeguard or a newlywed.

[malewife]

[ Jason, his trauma. Joonghyuk goes quiet, for once visibly crestfallen. He can say more, but! He will say nothing because he’s who he is.

It is affection week, so he fixes Jason’s hair again. Just brushing some strands aside. ]

[unrecked]

[DADDDD.

He reaches up after to act like he is trying to fix the hair Joonghyuk is fixing, as if he thinks the man was trying to tell him it was messed up or something.

He seems a little embarrassed, hilariously?]

Would you sit down here and stop hovering over me like some kinda hen?

[malewife]

[ Jason’s hair was not messed up, very funny. The question surprises him, so his eyes go owlish.

Quickly, his eyebrows furrow as he gives Jason a look of defiance… But ultimately he sits down on the other side? ]

[unrecked]

Thanks.

[See. He can be polite and not a rowdy hooligan brat. Sometimes. Sitting with Dad and Dad's soul. Nice.]

[malewife]

[ OKAY? Well, I guess this is how it ends. He doesn't mind it. It's nice.

Niah at least goes ahead to stretch over both of them. ]
