[he agrees warmly, because nam soon has no reason to argue it. for any joking that comes about the things they say on tv, they've already had enough drama of their own to last a lifetime. their reality is so different, and nam soon really doesn't want it any other way.
he just wants to be comfortable, with heung soo at his side. even without the strange and new evolution of their relationship, even without kisses woven between sporadic events, as long as this bastard is around, by his side and not resenting their past—well, that's all he really ever wants or needs. that's all nam soon ever really wanted from the day heung soo had become the only form of solid support in his life. nam soon had grown dependent on it, and those three years without it were enough torture that all he could even require now is the bare minimum to be kept from a despairing state.
nam soon is getting more than that. he's getting confirmation that this way of living is what they're going to keep doing—heung soo's tendency to mother hen and all. even if it's something he likes to tease about, nam soon is glad for it, because it's stable. and after everything else that happened, he really needs and wants this stability.
so when heung soo bumps his shoulder against nam soon, a smile (a slightly embarrassed one) creeps onto his lips as his head drops a little. it almost feels like a strange and natural instinct to fall back towards heung soo a little more after that, resting against his arm as he goes back to slurping up the noodles. they've swollen and lost some of their integrity from sitting in the broth, but it doesn't matter much to him like it might on a normal day. this... it's good, it's comfortable, and it's what he needs. nam soon probably will want to lay down and rest after they've finished up, since he hasn't slept either...
he'll probably be reluctant to do so without heung soo though, so it's good if they have the same idea in mind. right now, he just wants to stay as close to this bastard as is humanly possible.]
