[nam soon knows it's one of the things heung soo cooks well without effort. of course, just shy of a chaebol who has never had to eat the poor man's meal, most people could make a good ramen. even the ahjummas who think that seaweed-chocolate fondue is a good idea can make a good ramen.
but nam soon won't take that credit from him, not now. on a normal day, he may tease about it, especially since he's the one who is definitely more kitchen proficient of the two... but he can't do it today. not after everything that's happened, and not when he just wants to take solace in the fact that heung soo is here and can do things like make a good pot of ramen for them to share. of course, he does notice the way heung soo waits...
aigoo, this bastard. he thinks those words of exasperation as he picks up some noodles between his chopsticks and slurps them into his mouth. nam soon knows exactly why heung soo is hesitating, and maybe there's still just a faint smile on his lips despite the exasperation. it really is a lot like it was back then, after his mom's funeral. that was the moment that had really awakened that motherhen instinct in heung soo, and even though nam soon can find it annoying, he's all the same just... grateful that someone looks out for him like this consistently. his dad tries in his ways, but it's never been quite the same, and those three years without this sort of nurturing makes him unable to say no to it.
but it doesn't mean he won't reverse the nagging, nudging at his best friend's arm.]
You eat, too. [his brows knit a little, and even though there's still that faint warmth from the upward turn of his lips, it's obvious that he's concerned.] Worry about your own body after all of that, you naggy bastard.
[and it really does come from a place of affectionate concern. neither of them knows what his body was up to while heung soo wasn't in it, not totally. it's better to play it safe, because nam soon definitely can't mentally handle heung soo collapsing over something like that right now. so pick up the chopsticks and eat, and use that time to find some sense of relative normalcy and calm.
nam soon's not sure his heart will calm down anytime soon, but right now? it's not shaken up because he's in a despairing panic. right now, it's warm and fluttery, but seeking relief; he doesn't know if heung soo's is the same, but he hopes it's at least calming down a little from the earlier panic they shared.]
