[ —shakes her head. ]

Wait! That wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about.

[ ... ]

... if you run away, I'll chase you.

[ JUST TO PREFACE THIS PROPERLY.... ]

[blorbo]

[He looks down at her visibly exhausted from running just to get to this place.]

I'm not running away.

[beastlings]

[ listen, Mr. Actually Fit And Not An Average Strength Eleven Year Old Girl—



.... okay well now she has his attention. does she really—

—a pause. she looks up at him, searching. ]

... you remember now, right? Are you ... in your third round, or your forty first?

[blorbo]

[He frowns, unsure why she's bringing up that specific round now.]

This is my third round.

[beastlings]

[ she puffs a sigh, briefly pressing a hand to her chest.

it really was just a dream, huh? ]

Don't worry about it. I just needed to check.

[ ... her gaze cuts to the side.

If she just comes out and asks, Junghyeok will know she got the information from somewhere and that somewhere wouldn't be Dokja. Not in this case. Which means throwing Suyeong under the bus. The only other way ... is to get him to admit it.

Hm... ]

Ahjussi, why don't you stay with us? [ curiously. ] I know the apartment's kinda small, but...

[blorbo]

[Whatever he was expecting it wasn't that. He's always done his own thing and sometimes that aligned with what the others were doing so being limited to a smaller area hasn't changed his thinking.]

I don't want to.

[It's more to do with him valuing his own space and privacy than his situation with Dokja who doesn't even cross his mind when answering her question.]

[beastlings]

[ instantly: ]

Why?

[ ... her curiosity is, at least, genuine. ]

[blorbo]

[He is not going to play 20 questions with this.]

Don't be tiresome.

[This is already a tiny preview of what it would be like to live with them.]
