Thank you for the explanation, but none of this "is already there" for me and I would appreciate you not assuming otherwise.

[copyrewriter]

[ stares at him in complete disbelief for a moment before looking away. ]

... whatever. Just forget it, it doesn't fucking matter.

[plotdevised]

Evidently it matters a lot, now that we're out here discussing it, but I'm not sure what I can say that could be comforting in these circumstances.

Kim Dokja is a pain.

[copyrewriter]

[ just... slowly sits down. even if she wasn't just physically exhausted after today this is getting exhausting in general. ]

I'm not looking for comfort.

[ a pause. ]

Not really, anyway. ... It's pathetic, but there's not many people I can talk to in this place.

[plotdevised]

[watches her, then looks at the pond again...]

I can listen.

[copyrewriter]

[ she pulls up her knees to lean her cheek against them, and watches him for a few seconds before closing her eyes. ]

... Yeah.

[ It's a bit awkward, but eventually she does manage to mumble a small "thanks." ]

[plotdevised]

[a small nod of acknowledgment, his posture relaxes a bit, as well. it looks like he's okay with just chilling here for a while, at least]

[copyrewriter]

I miss them.

[ there's not really any doubt about who "they" are. ]

[plotdevised]

They might end up here too.

[copyrewriter]

... no. They deserve to rest.

[ stares at the pond, sleepy. ]

We'll be home soon.

[plotdevised]

Speaking of rest...

[copyrewriter]

What a mother hen you are.

[ sarcastic, but still a bit fond. ]

[plotdevised]

You're defenseless right now. Not sleeping will only aggravate things.

[copyrewriter]

I'm less defenseless than you think.

[ she's quiet for a moment. ]

You can go back. I want to be out for a bit longer.

[plotdevised]

I'll stay. You might nod off, roll into the pond and drown.

[copyrewriter]

Look at you, worrying about me. How sweet you've gotten in your old age.

[plotdevised]

I just have nothing better to do.

[copyrewriter]

Should I be flattered? Yu Junghyeok is taking care of me? You'd make a good wife.

[plotdevised]

Better than you, for sure.

[copyrewriter]

I'm more husband material, I think. I'm already the breadwinner?

[plotdevised]

... I walked straight into that one.

[copyrewriter]

[ -- barks a laugh, flopping over. ]

[plotdevised]

[just SIGHS, resigned]

[copyrewriter]

[ wears herself out on laughing pretty quick, and just looks up at him. ]

... This is good.

[plotdevised]

[looks at her, tilting his head sideways slightly, it's a question]
