[ If Nam Soon already looked vulnerable, then he feels like that even moreso now. Heung Soo can clearly feel the way the other guy's body practically goes limp in his arms, how every last bit of strength leaves it. But he shifts his hold a little bit to be able to hold him up more easily instead of having both of them crashing unceremoniously to the floor right here and now. That'd just manage to make this whole situation more awkward, and they have enough to deal with as-is.. but then again, when don't they.
But for now he just does all he can do. Reminding Nam Soon that he's here after all, that he won't just leave like that for no reason. He's not planning on leaving the other at all if he can do anything about it, but this just happened to be the one time it was completely out of his power, and it reduced his best friends do this. A ragdoll in his arms, soft sobs coming from Nam Soon's head near his shoulder.
Heung Soo slowly moves his hand up and down the other's back a little bit - like a parent trying to console an upset child, trying to calm him down.
He's here again. Heung Soo can understand how scary it was (hell, it was terrible for him too, having to be there and watch the other suffer but not being able to do anything at all to stop it), but everything will be alright again now. He's not going away.
Even Nam Soon's act does nothing to convince him - it wouldn't convince most people, but not Heung Soo in particular. He's seen every bit of the Tsunami act the other put up back in the day, he knows it's always just Nam Soon trying to pretend he's much tougher than he really is. He rarely calls it out unless the other is causing too much trouble since he doesn't want to trample on every last bit of selfconfidence and pride Nam Soon might have, but he's well aware it's all fake. ]
I know.
[ Not like he's at fault for this technically, but he'll still take on every single insult that the other can throw his way. It's what they do normally, anyway, but this time especially since it might help to at least let this bastard let out some of his feelings and calm down.
For a moment he just lingers like that, letting the words hang in the air, still rubbing Nam Soon's back a little, but then he slowly speaks up again - since he knows they're the words the other has to hear more than anything right now. ]
I'm not going anywhere.
[ For better or worse, he's stuck with this stubborn bastard. Even if this place might try to tear them apart like that for a while, it's not like it can keep that up forever. ]
