'toriyasu'

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) Hanbin nodded in agreement but offered the other a playful scoff "And yet you went and got a tattoo on your face, that will surely go by unnoticed..." He joked teasingly letting out a chuckle along with the other at Woosung's next reply "It's good that you don't care... Not having to care about anyone's opinions or thoughts is actually so freeing" He agreed with a short nod of his head.
Hanbin's eyes focused on the other as he spoke again and he knew that he meant it and yet, he felt selfish for dragging him into it. He was well aware of how wrong this could turn out for them both. Not just small trouble kind of wrong, and not even jail kind of wrong but even death kind of wrong. It was certainly dangerous, especially for Woosung to get involved with other gangs when he was a part of Sumiyoshi-Kai, but their loyalty to each other seemed unbreakable since they reunited and unfortunately he knew the lengths the other would go to in order to help him. It gave him so much confidence and motivation but it was also a burden at the same time. Unlike the other, Hanbin was very pessimistic though he liked to call it 'realistic' instead. He knew he'd never be able to let it go if something happened to Woosung, but he didn't want to think about that now because he wouldn't let it happen. If he had a say in it, the other would be safe. Or as safe as possible considering he was working for the yakuza. The other's statement ripped a laugh from Hanbin's throat as he made a short reference to his own tattoo, the one he'd just been explaining to him a bit earlier and with a shake of his head Hanbin let it go. He knew there was no changing his mind when his friend was set on something.
Leaning back on his chair again Hanbin clicked his tongue in annoyance "I know... To be very honest I was actually considering being brutally honest and just go for it... If I don't hide stuff he won't have a reason to doubt me and if I'm honest he may be able to see it and just /might/ actually try and help me" He said emphasizing the 'might' as they both knew very well how hard it was for absolute strangers to get the cooperation of yakuza superiors, and that was not to say impossible really "I will go unarmed and I won't take anyone with me or anything... Anything that makes me seem like a threat to them is a threat to me and will get me kicked out of there with no info, and that's in the best-case scenario" He agreed with a sigh. It was a harsh but he was confident, he just had to play his cards well and that was something Hanbin had become rather good at with time.
"I guess that's just your general attitude wherever you are" He teased playfully as the other looked over the possibilities for his meal but making a decision in less than five seconds. Hanbin was about to open his mouth when the other offered the dinner as a treat and he quickly raised his eyebrow at him "Are you mocking my income or something? I'm the older one I should be offering" He said with a shake of his head, but as he said earlier, once Woosung is set on something there's no getting it out of his head and if Hanbin wanted to pay for this meal he would have to physically fight him for it "I'm going for the Beef Noodles, you know how much I love that" He replied with a bright smile. It was one of his favorites for sure.
It took only a couple of seconds for the waiter to be next to them after Hanbin sat the menu down and he immediately ordered both their choices for food as well as two bottles of Soju to start before turning to Woosung as the waiter left "You pay for the meal, I'll pay for the drinks then"

@Kim Hanbin♙ "Honestly, with everything we're involving ourselves in, it's probably for the better that we're not that recognizable" Woosung said nodding his head "Too bad I don't really care" he said with a small chuckle as he touched his tattoo, knowing it could very well be his doom. "Maybe one day you won't have to be discreet, or you'll just stop caring and go with it" he said with a small shrug.
This meeting was turning out to be quite nostalgic for the both of them, Woosung noticed as Hanbin seemed lost in thought for a moment, just like he had been a few minutes ago. Thinking of the past made Woosung want to just get his dad out of jail and go back to the life they used to have. He could only imagine what was going on on Hanbin's head, not knowing what happened to his own father, and whose fault it was.
He nodded slightly at the older's next words and thought of them for a while "That's true, it might not be that easy of a fix, but I want to help. I might not be the most useful though, I don't know much 'cause I only got to work for them recently" he said. He was too optimistic for his own good, as he didn't like to think of what could go wrong "But don't worry about me. You know what I think, as long as you're prepared, nothing can go wrong. And I'm prepared" he reassured the other boy. He didn't want to think of himself in jail. It made him think of his father in jail and that unsettled him more than anything. With his superiors, he couldn't imagine anything going wrong as he was used to lying low and doing his job well, he hadn't even met the boss yet, or any other person close to being a boss. He had orders and he complied, he got the cash he was owned and had fun with his friends during the day. As long as he didn't bite off more than he could chew, he would be fine. Or so he desperately hoped.
"Exactly, he'll doubt you for sure. I guess it does sound like an excuse to try and get information out of him. Either way, you'll have to gain his trust, and that might take a while" Woosung warned the other, wanting him to be prepared. "Just be careful. I know you're not a cop or an enemy, but they won't take your word for it. So even if you know you're not, you still gotta be extra careful around him" Woosung said and looked down. Approaching a gang lider asking for information was always a bad idea, he just hoped Hanbin knew exactly what he was doing. "If you do gain his trust, I'm sure you'll get something of importance out of him. Even if it's not the most relevant info, anything is helpful" he said, wanting Hanbin not to lose hope more than any other thing.
Watching as Hanbin put the menu up he raised an eyebrow but looked over the dishes as he heard the other's explanation and laughed at his words "Okay, that's fair, we're here talking like we own the place" he said as his eyes scanned the menu quickly, having known beforehand what he felt like eating. "Fried chicken for me" he said and turned to look at the older "And soju of course, tons of it" he said and raised his eyebrows playfully "What are you getting? It's my treat" he said, leaving no room for a discussion.

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) He offered the other a simple 'okay' sign with his fingers, a small smile on his lips. He was actually likely to get that tattoo, he just wasn't sure how 'soon' that would be as there was still a lot for him to consider.
The other seemed to zone out for a few moments before speaking up again and Hanbin softly shook his in response to the other's question that no, he didn't want to be recognizable, a quick shrug of his shoulders. As the other said himself, it wasn't really a matter of wanting or not really, it was just what was best for his needs at the moment. He let out a short chuckle at the other's reply and shook his head a little at him "Might work out in your favor for some, but might not always be a blessing" He joked a little.
He nodded softly with a short sigh, that was true. He'd been doing his best at this since his teen years, no matter how much his mother had tried to stop him, how many times she'd asked him not to get involved, he simply could not just /leave it/ because it wasn't for sure that his father was dead, and if he wasn't, he needed to find him.
Hanbin offered him a grateful smile though it still worried him "You know it's not always an easy fix when it comes to them" He replied quietly. They both know rather well how anything could go wrong with the gangs, be it with the cops or simply with their superiors. If they were ever caught doing something wrong, consequences could be serious and for as much as Hanbin appreciated the other's help, he was still the closest friend Hanbin had and he wanted him to be safe. Or the safest he could considering who he was working for.
He hummed in reply, agreeing with Woosung's warning "I know... he'll probably consider the possibility of me being a cop at first or even work for one of his enemies... but since I don't I shouldn't fear that too much..." He said looking at the other right back to acknowledge the other's worries "I'm only unsure whether I'll be able to get him to say something of importance or not..."
Noticing one of the waiters glancing at them, he picked up the menu, setting it sideways on the table so they both could look it over "We should order something... I can see that waiter doing his best to not walk over here and slam the menu in our faces or something" He said playfully his eyes glancing over the menu though he already knew what he'd order as it was not his first time here.

@Kim Hanbin♙ "I'll be waiting then" Woosung nodded his head, picturing Hanbin with a lame face tattoo and chuckled at his own thought. The younger was sure he could pull it off though, Hanbin had always been that handsome. Thinking of an younger Hanbin reminded him of the life they used to have, of every moment they shared. Having grown up together, Woosung recalled the sleepovers they had, the walks around the neighborhood, the lifts he used to get from Hanbin's dad back home from school, the dinners with both their families on Woosung's big dinning room.
If you asked Woosung, he wouldn't be able to tell you where it all went wrong. One day, both of them were happy teens, living fairly different but joyful lives, and the other everything went to . Hanbin's father disappeared, just like that, and Woosung's own dad was on the edge all the time, probably afraid of what that could mean for their family. Hanbin, of course, was never the same, and Woosung felt the most powerless knowing he couldn't do anything to help his friend, only stand by his side as the boy searched for evidence. His own father told him all the time not to get too involved on that, it wasn't their problem and they had to be careful around police investigations, so Woosung ended up leaving his friend's side, something that tormented him to this day. His dad's fears turned out to be true as he got arrested an year later, and Woosung could only think of how similiar his and Hanbin's life had turned out, and how Hanbin had probably needed him to be there for him. Whatever attempts he had planned to make to fix things with Hanbin were ruined as his mother dragged both him and his sister to Japan shortly after his dad's arrest, escaping the mess he had left behind.
The other's chuckled pulled him back from his trip down memory lane, and as he eyed his friend, he realized that even though so much had changed, Hanbin's smile sure didn't. "You don't wanna be recognized?" Woosung asked, then hummed in thought "That's probably for the best, you need to be careful" he laughed lightly as the other boy mentioned remembering him becaus of his tattoo "I'm honored".
Woosung nodded his head "That's true. You're trying your best, I'm sure you'll find something soon" the boy reassured him. He wanted Hanbin to know he was ready to help him now, he hadn't much to lose, and he owned the older at least that. "Don't worry, I won't get in trouble. And if I do, I'll fix it" he answered with a dismissve shrug of his shoulders. He nodded as he heard the other, and thought for a while "Be careful, his a dangerous man, don't let out too much. He can't see you as a threat, or he'll be quick to get you out of his way" Woosung said worriedly, sitting up straight on his chair and looking on the other's eyes to show how serious he was.

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) He nodded a bit considering the possibility. It was not the first time the thought crossed his mind, he'd thought of tattooing something related to his father, even had some ideas written down on a notebook, but he was hesitant about the idea simply because there was a lot about his father that remained a mystery right now.
What if he was to find out his father was actually a coward? That he'd abandoned him in fear. If that was the case he surely didn't want anything inked on his skin related to remind him of that.
"I'll think about it... If I decide to get it I'll hit you up for some company" He replied with a quick thankful smile. The other was one of the few people that was actually supportive when he first mentioned finding his father some years ago. All the others had thought he was too young, too naive, and that he'd changed his mind as time passed. He didn't, and Woosung was one of the few that was still by his side.
Hanbin shook his head a little at the other's reply, a short chuckle leaving his lips. Woosung had always been that way, and that's something Hanbin really appreciated in him. He wishes it was that simple for him as well, but it just was not right now "If only it was just that... But no, it's about my investigation... A face tattoo would be a giveaway for people to remember or recognize me, I mean, if I didn't know you I'd possibly remember your face just because of the tattoo" He explained softly with a shrug of his shoulders. Hanbin used to be one who cared a lot what others thought of him, but that's not true anymore. He's learnt to stand up for himself and do what he wants without fear. Maybe it had a lot to do with what happened to his father or maybe he simply learnt it by going through life and growing up, but whichever it was, he was glad to have changed it who he is now.
He shook his head a little in response "Nah, it's to be expected... I've always known it will take a lot of work and time, but if I want to find him I need to be patient and do things carefully..." He replied giving the other a quick thankful smile "I'm not sure it would be good for you to get involved here since it might get you into trouble with Sumiyoshi-kai... I found some information on this brothel downtown that's supposedly run by one of Yamaguchi-gumi's superiors, I'll check it out and try to get him to talk to me"

@Kim Hanbin♙ "Maybe you should" Woosung said as he shrugged. He couldn't count the number of times he had been told he would regret getting his tattoo. Friends, family and even mere acquaintaces all made sure to remind him he would never get a job, he would get tired of seeing it on his face, he would look weird and threatning, but despite all that, he loved his tattoo, and the message behind it. He had to be prepared, always two steps ahead, and it would all turn out right. Maybe that was exactly what Hanbin needed, a tattoo to remind him of something important to him "If you wanna get one, I'm all for it, I'll even go with you" he added, figuring they could make up for the lost time.
"Why would you want to get by unnoticed?" Woosung asked, his eyes leaving the fork he was playing with to eye Hanbin "Just do you, if it gets you unwanted attention just tell them to off" Woosung said, being an easy thing for him to do, as he had to flip off quite a few stranges who looked at him weirdly or commented something about him, not even trying to keep their voices low "You shouldn't stop doing something you want only 'cause you think it's gonna get you to be frowned upon" he finished his sentence, feeling way too much like an older brother to his liking. He listened to the older boy's next words attentively and leaned closer as the boy in front of him lowered his voice "That man" he said, trying to be supportive "I'm sure you're gonna find out what happened to him soon" he said, wishing he could do more for his friend "What clues tho? Is there anything I can do?" he asked, curious as to what the boy had found out during this time they were apart.

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) "No worries..." Hanbin said lifting his hand in a dismissive gesture as the other took a seat in front of him.
As Woosung set himself up comfortably, Hanbin simply crossed his arms over his chest eyes still focused on the new ink over the other's cheek. He nodded softly at the other's reply before raising his eyebrow with a teasing grin at the other's confusing remarks letting out a small playful 'no, yes, what is it?'
As the other further explained the meaning and relation between the tattoo and himself, the older offered him one more nod, this time in understanding "I think I can understand that" He said sympathetically. Their story wasn't exactly the same but surely had some resemblances to certain aspects. Especially on their fathers' part.
"Maybe I should get one too..." He joked a little though he was actually considering getting one more, maybe one related to his father wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Leaning back on his chair much like the other had done earlier, Hanbin shook his head a little with a chuckle "I most definitely do not... It would be hard to go by unnoticed if I got one of those" He teased again before continuing "Unfortunately, not a lot has changed if I am to be honest...Still looking for my old man, not a lot of info at the moment, but I might have some clues on Yamaguchi-gumi" He admitted softly, lowering his tone once again at the end.

@Kim Hanbin♙ "Sorry, didn't notice the time passing by" Woosung answered as he shrug his shoulders. He let himself fall until his back hit the chair, letting his head tilt to the side as he sighed. He had spent the day going around the city, making some errands, and the tiredness was catching up to him. He eyed Hanbin's expression as the boy looked attentively at his cheek (his tattoo most probably) and raised his eyebrows, waiting on the other boy's next words. As the older touched his own cheek, Woosung was sure his guess was correct, but Hanbin's next words surprised him. Not that Hanbin was the judging type but he had gotten all type of negative reactions before, that someone asking about it in such a casual way was weird for him. But in a good way.
"No" he answered instinctively. "Well, yes" he said after giving it more thought. "Not really". He paused "I made it before I entered the gang so it's not really related directly to it, but it's related to everything in my life so I guess it does have something to do with it in a way as well" he answered, knowing he probably wasn't making much sense "It's more of a reminder to think ahead, to be careful, to think before I do some . I wouldn't want to end up like my father" he added, not bothering to keep his tone low, as he looked at the table and played with his fork. "How have you been? I mean, you don't have a new tattoo covering half your cheek, but some things must have changed" he asked looking back at the boy sitting in front of him.

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) Hanbin had lifted his face to check the first few times the bell chimed when a customer walked in, but he soon gave up when none of the faces belonged to his friend. He fished for his phone from his hoodie's pocket and pulled it onto the table, soon getting distracted with whatever his feed had to offer him so he was slightly surprised to hear a familiar voice when the other did finally arrive.
"Hey dude, took you a while..." He replied in a joking tone, a smile pulling at the corners of his lips as he slipped his phone into his jeans pocket, but his brows quickly furrowed as he caught a better glimpse of the other's face and the new Japanese marking on his face. For a quick second, he tried to read it before realizing it was in kanji. He'd learned to speak when he moved to Tokyo and eventually got a handle of reading and writing, but kanji was still a weak point for him and one of the things his friend helped him with regarding the search for his father.
He lifted his hand to his cheek gesturing for the other's new tattoo just under his right eye "Is it related to Sumiyoshi-kai?" He asked in a low tone not wanting other customers to listen in their conversation, for now, it was nothing too invasive, but it might get to that later. That's also why he liked this restaurant, it was never too filled and he could easily pick a more secluded table where they could talk comfortably as long as they kept their voices at a lower tone.

@Kim Hanbin♙ Woosung walked slowly towards the restaurant he had agreed to meet Hanbin at. His hands were deep in his pants pockets and he had his sweater's hood over his head, sheltering him from the breeze that brought chills down his body every few minutes. He took his hand out of his pocket along with his phone and brought it to face, the screen shining bright on his eyes as he checked the time and noticed he was late, as usual. That didn't bother him though, and he kept the same pace. Putting his phone back on his front pocket he saw the outlines of the restaurant and thought of the last time he had seen Hanbin. It had been a while, he wondered if his childhood friend would recognize him with his new tattoo. He walked inside and didn't bother greeting the waiter, just headed straight inside and looked around to find a familiar face. Spotting his friend on a corner table, he headed there and sat down. "Hey" he said quietly and took the hood off his head. "It's been a while huh?" he said with a small smile.

@Jeon Woosung❂(住吉会) Hanbin took the last drag of his cigarette before putting it out and throwing it on the trashbin just a few meters from the restaurant door. Letting out the smoke through the side of his lips, out of habit, he took the last few steps that lead inside the restaurant.
He was early a few minutes, but he had always thought it best to be early than late, even if he knew Woosung was usually late anyway. He bowed his head a little as he was greeted by one of the waiters, lifting up two fingers to let him know he'd need a table for two. Being allowed to choose any of the smaller tables that were empty throughout the restaurant, he moved towards the lonely one in the corner, furthest from the door. It'd be quieter and more reserved, now he just needed to wait for Woosung to show up.

@Yang Hongseok♙ /we keep talking even in the car, with your hallyu wave playlist blasting in the background. I think thanks to you I now can recognize every song of that stb band. Once we arrived at your place I cling to you immediately so I can finally kiss you in privacy/ I’ve been waiting all evening to do this

@Lee Hwitaek♙ deal. /I agree to your condition with a smile. preparing the breakfast in the morning is a very small price to pay for having you all for myself for another couple of hours. these few we spent in the restaurant are obviously not enough for me, and for you as well it seems. I lead us to my car which I left nearby. the streets aren't as busy as during rush hours so it only takes us maximum a quarter of an hour to park my car in the garage and get on the very last floor of the building. I open the door and let you walk in first/

@Yang Hongseok♙ Only if you do the cooking this time /my smile widens before letting go of your hand, keeping the other one in mine as I tug you towards the car. I don’t want to bring more attention to us/ let’s go, then.

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /caressing the outer sides of your hands with my thumbs, I look down at your face hoping that this time you wouldn't put too much fight over that. you got wet on your way to the restaurant and who knows if it wouldn't suddenly start raining again as you leave the metro or a bus. I'm pleasantly surprised with your reply but to be honest, it's something I should've seen coming. and how can I refuse?/ sleepover plus breakfast?

@Yang Hongseok♙ /holding your hands I can feel my cheeks heating up. I find the scene romantic in a way, but maybe it’s just the alcohol. As a driver who doesn’t want to lose his license, I don’t drink too often. But with you around I tend to get reckless/
A lift to your place I hope?
/I suggest, squeezing your fingers/ I don’t want this evening to end just yet

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /following you to the exit door, I put my jacket on as soon as the coolness of the late night in tokyo hits my skin. short sleeves of my polo shirt don't do the best job at keeping me warm, as it's not even their purpose. at least the rainy clouds finally flew away from above our heads. it's wet everywhere, everything is surrounded by darkness broken by the numerous neon signs. I have no troubles with finding your eyes and catching your hands in mine/ me too. I haven't had so much fun in a while. /I admit sincerely with a small smile/ now, don't be stubborn for once and let me give you a lift.

@Yang Hongseok♙ cheers /i reply as our glasses click. we stay in the restaurant for a bit longer, chatting about work and other mild annoyances of our daily lives and snuggling. alcohol helps me relax and forget my other worries, about tiredness that's unrelated to the amount of sleep and rest i had. i laugh a bit louder and smile a bit wider than usual/
thanks for tonight, i had fun /we're now standing in front of the restaurant. compared to the time we met, it's a bit darker and chiller now but at least it stopped raining/

@Lee Hwitaek♙ did you? /I turn my head a little to catch the glimpse of your face as your head rests by my shoulder/ are you telling me now that my lab is haunted? /I ask, doing my best to appear at least disturbed with the revelation. as desensitized to death as I seem to be sometimes, I'm sure you would be surprised with the number of death-related things that can scare me, nauseate me or even, in some cases, make me refuse to take the case, mostly when it comes to children or accidental shooting victims. after all, in comparison with some of my co-workers, I'm still a newbie/ well, that's likely. I will burn some joss sticks or find a shaman to take care of it. but for now, cheers. /I click my glass against yours/

@Yang Hongseok♙ you know, i've heard enough while delivering food to you late at night. the guard really likes you. /i hum and listen to the rest of the story, laughing at your reaction. i think i hit the right spot/ not everyone can be as desensitized to death as you are. i still get spooks whenever you leave me there to go to bathroom. i think i've heard some ghosts there once /i pat your back several times before moving my arm to grab my glass/

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /caressing your side with my thumb, I observe how you slowly fill our glasses with cool drinks. when you're done, I pick mine and take a little sip before I have to stop in order not to choke at your question, in the most positive way as it seems like you have a great and a very true image of my forensic laboratory's dynamics/ yeah. for a moment he wasn't sure if it's the beginning of july or april. and I think the guard was a little sad to see me go so early too? you know, that one who's kind of scared to be around so many cold bodies by himself. he's had to read too many articles about people who woke up in the morgue's fridge.

@Yang Hongseok♙ /i chew on the meat happily, knowing that you were first planning to eat it yourself. i pour the beer into your glass before doing the same with my alcohol. even without sipping it i feel giddy, your nose is tickling my scalp/ yeah, the celebration party. for me not hugging you and you leaving the job early. was your boss shocked? /i ask, running hand down your back so i can rub it/

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /when you make yourself comfortable by my side, my arm immediately slides behind your back and wraps around your waist, keeping you close, yet giving you enough space and freedom to freely reach different bowls and plates on the table/ yes, medal made of beef neck. /I pick a piece of meat from my plate and deliver it straight to your mouth/ if you want, we can update this meeting's status and agree it's the celebration party. /I offer jokingly, before nuzzling my nose in your fluffy hair. you smell like rain/

@Yang Hongseok♙ /i took a bathroom break in a meantime of waiting for our order, picking them up after i've freshened up. i briefly think about the time i waited tables. after dropping out of the university i was picking up whatever baito offer i saw. flower shop, udon restaurant, conbini and even bar. anything to make ends meet so i could afford paying for apartment i had to pay from my own pocket/
one non-alcoholic beer for you and one bottle of soju for me /i say, placing the beverage in front of us before i sit down, this time by your side so i can cuddle you properly/ how long did i go without hugging you? do i deserve a medal for that?

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /before you leave me all by myself in this private room, I ask for another mug of beer as the current one is already empty, with only a very thin layer of ginger liquid covering the bottom. while you're away, I take care of the meat, grilling it but at the same time eating, mixing it with different vegetables, not meaning to leave anything on the plates as we eventually leave later. I can't hold myself back from checking my phone in case I was needed at work (even though I insisted not to be bothered tonight). before I get bored, I hear how the door slide open and you're back with drinks/ hey, can you come back in like two minutes? I didn't eat everything yet. /as expected, you're far from willing to grant my wish as you choose to sit by my side instead/ thank you.

@Yang Hongseok♙ I think they are just too intimidated by your handsomeness to even laugh because they are scared of looking ugly in front of you. Though they have no restraint to show you how dumb they are sometimes /I hum, noticing that my tea kettle is almost empty/ the meat is still getting ready so I guess I will get us something to drink. Would you like anything? /I ask you and get up, walking up to the front door/

@Lee Hwitaek♙ no, not really. /I say quickly, never thinking of myself as a funny type. my comedy guru once said that I'm just an abs and at this point, after long months if not years of neglecting my exercise schedule, I don't think I still can even keep the abs guy title/ my students don't find my jokes very funny, even when it's me who's going to mark their tests at the end of the semester. /I add another reason as to why I don't believe I'm the most capable one to give a speech. public speaking has never caused any excessive stress for me, that's sure/ but then, my family knows I'm boring as so they wouldn't have any expectation I should meet.

@Yang Hongseok♙ Oh don’t think so low about yourself. Is making me laugh not enough to convince you that you can be funny? /I nudge you with my foot, as my hands are busy with eating and flipping the grilling meat, to make sure it’s cooked evenly/ you will do great.

@Lee Hwitaek♙ /the better yang. it seems like my brother will never get rid of this nickname, not that he's even expressed any form of discomfort with being recognized at the better brother of us two. and I can't really be upset about that (even though it used to make my blood boil in past)/ hm, I think I've collected enough receipts throughout the years to make it long. /I mumble somewhere between stuffing my mouth with another piece of freshly grilled beef and stir-fried aubergine/ but I can already tell it's going to be a disaster. you know I can't be entertaining to save my life.

@Yang Hongseok♙ /I take lettuce to wrap the meat up and dip it in hot sauce. The closest I could get to creating a korean version of pigeon/ oh, right you’ve told me the better Yang is getting married. Are you going to be his best man? I’ve heard the wedding speech takes a moment to prepare /I hum and pour more tea in my cup/
