[ if we gold end and can visit other places joonghyuk is going to fistfight bruce

Yes, Joonghyuk is shady and he also doesn't use words well, purposely. He simmers some... ]

... Deserving or not, there's little to say when second chances are forced onto you.

[ ... ]

But we all deserve the opportunity to live and be happy.

[unrecked]

[STOP THIS. He just gives Joonghyuk a look that's, like, a petulant teenager who clearly disagrees with the parent.]

I can think I don't deserve to be here, but still keep going anyway. I can do both.

[You have depression! But you also are too stubborn to die. But then you have a disgusting self-sacrificial complex because you don't think being dead would be worse than other people being dead.]

[malewife]

... What I hear is that if you're given a choice, you would throw yourself away for others and easily accept death.

[ This is half a read, but this is also... Maybe some projection. ]

I can't allow that.

[unrecked]

[He frowns, lips thin, at being read so easily like this. HE DOES NOT CONFIRM NOR DENY IT, but it's clear there's truth to it. Tch. LIKE, he'll fight? He will fight.

But he will jump in the way of a bullet if the person is someone who doesn't deserve it.]

You can't tell me what to do with my life.

[He has no real fight in him. It sounds like he's saying this to see what Joonghyuk will say back.]

[malewife]

[ There's such a look that really spells that Joonghyuk wish he could tell him what to do and he would listen. He wished he could take control of every self-sacrificial idiot's rights to living and control how they die. It would be easier. ]

I am telling you to value yourself more.

[ Why does everyone he cares for end up being so fucking stupid? ]

[unrecked]

[He makes a bit of a face. If he argues, he knows Joonghyuk will just argue back. And he isn’t sure if he actually values his life enough for it to not be a lie.]

Why?

[malewife]

[ Why does he have to spell it out? Why can’t people just read his mind? It would be easy to just say he cares about Jason outright, to use simple words. ]

… I decided you are one of my companions.

[ It is a word that is similar to friend, but not. It’s still meaningful and precious, especially for him. ]

And I don’t want to lose them.

[ In the end, it’s genuine care, but it’s also selfish. ]

[unrecked]

[This is hilarious and also soft, but mostly hilarious. Jason is conflicted. It's too personal to laugh at, and it's also too personal to not be embarrassed and confused hearing it.

"Companions."]

You're not going to lose me, [is what he settles on instead. He can't promise this, but it's the sentiment that matters.] Besides, if I'm gone, maybe my soul will come back as snow and collect into a snowman who'll be here to annoy the shit out of you.

[malewife]

[ Companion like Jason is part of his wolf pack. It is super embarrassing.

He stays quiet for some time after Jason says his piece. Whether he was comfort or not is hard to tell. It's difficult to comfort someone who has lived so many lives, watching everyone around him forget, live, and die as he tries to piece together what he used to have... Or even watch it all distort into something he doesn't know.

Jason doesn't have control over death. He won't be able to choose when he leaves, or if he can even say goodbye. No one does. Joonghyuk knows, but there is the sentiment. ]

You're asking to be melted.

[unrecked]

Yeah. If the hotspring doesn't work, I'll be chanting for the nonexistent volcano for sure.

[He finally manages to crack a smirk. Hehe. This is why he's coming back as an annoying snowman because he is always annoying Joonghyuk.]

[malewife]

Eat your food.

[ Stop being annoying. Soft and hilarious moment is over. ]

[unrecked]

[Damn.]

I'm eating it, jeez.

[HE IS EATING IT because he's been forced to be hungry from time to time.]
