He's here, so... probably. What the hell would you even say to that guy.

[double-speak for "how the fuck do you talk to naruto" and "don't you fucking dare, you weird bastard."]

[unathletic]

My friend is a big fan of you, he's heard a lot about your great deeds. He's feeling a little down, so maybe you could give him some words of encouragement?

[ NOT THAT HE'S.. REALLY GOING TO DO THAT.. he's not going to talk to Naruto, okay, he's not going to risk it. But he might as well pretend for bickering purposes. ]

[unpresidential]

Yah, if you're going to make jokes, at least make them funny.

Don't forget who always wanted to be the star back then.

[way back, when they were kids, of course. nam soon didn't usually care, he was perfectly fine being sasuke because he was ~totally cool~ or whatever. the protagonist role always suited heung soo more anyway (even if their own canon flipped that switch). besides, it's just more fun to try and turn the teasing around. nam soon hates losing these types of arguments.]

[unathletic]

[ Of course Nam Soon has to retaliate with reminding him of yet another embarrassing thing.. that only feels more embarrassing now the real deal is here in this place. How are you even supposed to cope with that kind of thought. ]

It's because I am.

[ So the only thing he can do to save his dignity even just a little bit is just stubbornly cling on to that right now.. ]

[unpresidential]

You may be the transfer student, but I have the window seat.

[yeah, he went there.]

[unathletic]

[ HE CAN'T HELP IT THAT HE ONLY SHOWS UP IN EPISODE 3, OKAY. ]

If you're the protagonist, at least let me be your rival. Something like that is wasted on Oh Jung Ho.

[unpresidential]

That didn't work out last time we tried it. You're no good for my rival.

[being rivals just makes them cry anyway. do they really need seven episodes of misery before realizing the people suited for the role are kang-ssaem and jung ho?]

[unathletic]

[ Apparently they did in the drama, so who knows.. ]

Is it since it's going to look weird when the hero is clinging to the rival? [ Not what Nam Soon implied, but he might as well make that out of it. ]

[unpresidential]

Does it make any sense for the rival to have a crying panic when he knocks out the hero?

[this goes two ways, you bastard.]

[unathletic]

[ YOU COME HERE INTO MY INBOX... ]

I can't help it that I didn't know your survival rate is like an actual fictional character's.

[unpresidential]

Still means you did a crappy job as the rival. You think Oh Jung Ho would have flinched for a second back then?

[unathletic]

That guy still has no style compared to me.

[unpresidential]

What style do you even have?

[unathletic]

I'm the tough and cool hyung-nim.

[ Ugh. The only way he'll ever use that, since it has such a terrible Ki Deok aftertaste that just doesn't go away.. ]

What style don't I have?

[unpresidential]

You lost all your credibility the second you called yourself a "tough and cool hyungnim."

Lame bastard. Fend for yourself for dinner tonight.

[he's 800% done with you right now, heung soo.]

this icon is just as gay as the conversation tbh

[unathletic]

Fine. I'll go eat ramen out. By myself.

[ the only true way to stab nam soon in the heart, let's be real. ]

as their whole existence, you mean

[unpresidential]

I can't promise you'll have any blankets or pillows to sleep with tonight.

[nam soon will be vindictive if he's going to be that kind of bastard!]

never even a single straight thread

[unathletic]

I'll just crawl into your bed instead. [ Might be halfway serious, actually.. But it's most likely meant as a joke foremost, since otherwise there's no way he could just say it like that.

.. type it like that. Whatever. ]

well considering canon doesn't give them that chance anyway

[unpresidential]

Yah, who says you're invited. I'll push you right onto the floor if you even think about it.

[yeah, joking about it this way is pretty much the only way they're gonna talk about it. even if the amount oftimes they've fallen asleep next to each other or in the same bed is far more than they could even imagine keeping track of.]

[unathletic]

I'll take you down with me.

[unpresidential]

Annoying bastard.

[unathletic]

[ He knows exactly what kind of face Nam Soon is making right now.

Can you blame him for it making him smile a little bit with amusement? ]

Make us something good for dinner. I'll be back a little later.

[unpresidential]

I'll make sure to spit in it for you.

[obviously, he won't. he's just annoyed that this bastard always knows what to say to annoy him, and then can smoothly change the topic like it's nothing. so of course he has to put an extra twist on it. something about getting the last word in, even if it sparks a retaliation.

it's not like it matters, he'll make something good for dinner and make sure that his best friend eats well regardless.]

[unathletic]

Sounds delicious.

[ Mostly since he knows Nam Soon wouldn't do that.. sure, they pull pranks on each other, but it's not really that sort of stuff. It's just that Heung Soo's got the upper hand enough that the other guy feels he has to retaliate like that. And Heung Soo knows it very well. It's hilarious.

Maybe the rest of work today won't be so bad after all. ]

[unpresidential]

I'll spit extra just for you.

[obviously, he won't. but they both know that, and it's not a line he would ever dare cross, anyway. still, it makes him smile that heung soo will just play along anyway, even if it would have been fun to get a (somehow more) snarky response.]

Don't be too late. [he thinks that probably goes without saying, but he says it anyway. because he can. actual housewife go nam soon...]
