Who: Heung Soo, Nam Soon and Edgeworth.
When: Sometime after the event..
Where: At the gardens.
What: Edgeworth finds out that one whining teenager and that one responsible teenager are actually best friends. Whoops?
Rating/Warning: There should be no warnings!
[ Somehow, even after the trauma of the last weird thing before the recent one, and after the chaos of everything around them from the last weird thing, Nam Soon and Heung Soo have managed to fall back into their usual pattern of existing.
Said pattern being both of them meeting up on their way home from work, stopping by one of the many food stalls, buying some hot food and taking it along with them. Because eating in that sort of crowded space isn't really always (read: usually not) their kind of thing, so instead they have found a bench in a not as crowded part of the parks right near the apartment building they live in and decided to consume their food there.
If not just since they have a little more privacy. Mostly for Heung Soo's sake since he gets so easily embarrassed - he minds messing around with his best friend a lot less when it's just the two of them in a fairly empty park. So they act like usually. They eat, letting the food warm them, they talk, they playfully bicker and poke each other with their chopsticks.. the usual deal, really.
All the way up to Nam Soon just plainly eating the food off his chopsticks the moment Heung Soo's almost brought it to his own mouth. ]
Yah! [ But even as he calls out and elbows the other in retaliation, there's still something playful about all of it..
Not really like he realises - thanks to that distraction - that someone is just passing by on their own way home, and that said person is pretty familiar. ]

[nam soon finds himself shrugging a little at edgeworth. how is he even supposed to know that? considering he didn't even know they'd met at all (which is still weird, to think that they both have groups of separate acquaintances? what is this?), he can't really know how often they've met.
but whatever. this is awkward, though maybe mildly less so than his normal conversations with edgeworth, it's a little more bearable in terms of frustration, but there's still something plenty weird about it to him. the thought is lost pretty quickly when heung soo asks that question.
because seriously? seriously, you bastard? he looks at his friend for a second, then to edgeworth again.]
This bastard's pretty insulting when he wants to be. Just ignore him. [granted, he says that more to piss heung soo off than anything else, but nam soon doesn't really think edgeworth looks that incapable. the pool is hardly that dangerous, even for an inexperienced swimmer.]
no subject
It's okay, Nam Soon. Edgeworth is totally ignoring your pal.]
I never pegged him as the sort, but I guess one learns new things everyday.
no subject
(He's not so good with the whole "carefully saying things" thing and he knows it.)
Hence why an agitated sound instead comes out. ]
Yah! [ He's slightly embarrassed, though, more than actually angry. He was at least trying to keep his reputation decent here. ] You're a lifeguard, isn't that a normal assumption?
[ Heung Soo's never been to said pool, after all, since physical activities still sort of Bother him. He doesn't know it's not that bad... ]
Aish...
no subject
[and that it's boring as hell. and that he hates getting up at the crack of dawn to do it. really, his own oddly solid sense of responsibility when it comes to paid work is the only reason he hasn't taken the same job heung soo has—the very same kind of job he did part-time back in seoul.
he's kind of having fun being an ass and teasing heung soo this way, though. it's kind of like payback for past times when heung soo hurt his pride in front of adults (even if it was more warranted back then).]
He's a good guy, though. His mouth's just a little dumb sometimes. [he can't really insult heung soo for that long though, and he doesn't really want people getting the wrong impression of him.] It's usually his face that causes all the problems, anyway.
[since it's so threatening-looking and all.]
no subject
At the remark about Heung Soo's face, Edgeworth can't help it; he gives the slightest sliver of an amused grin. He sometimes wanted to tell Larry Butz that his sniveling face caused so many problems, or tell Phoenix Wright that his bluffing face did the same. Just...in more refined words.
So, in reply to Nam Soon:]
Yes, he is. Thankfully I haven't had the occasion to disagree with him regarding his face.
[Look, prosecutors can be funny too, okay?]
no subject
So he lets out an annoyed (aissh..) kind of sound as he mostly glances at Nam Soon as to not fully ruin his impression with Edgeworth, and he turns away from the other a little.
This is how they get along, okay.. ]
I was born this way. I can't help it.
[ Re: his face, he means. And Heung Soo is also quickly stuffing some more food into his own face to at least seem like he's doing something here other than trying to vaguely cover up his embarrassment with exasperation. ]
no subject
but this is more his natural habitat that work; anywhere that his best friend is makes nam soon instantly a lot more comfortable and playful. maybe he just likes being able to embarrass heung soo a little, though it definitely paints the gap between them and... people who are better at being adults than them.]
Ohh, that's our Heung Soo-yah. [he teases a little more, ruffling heung soo's hair in a total reversal of how this normally goes. he's having fun with it. he'll look back up to edgeworth, and he's trying to hold back a bit of laughter (a rarity in itself, but definitely even more so for the kid who usually remains stone-faced at work).] Treat him well when you see him. His face scares off a lot of people.
no subject
I see no reason why I shouldn't. [He gives Heung Soo a glance.] I've seen more intimidating faces than yours. [Look, even Edgeworth himself will admit that he is most likely more intimidating than you, Heung Soo.]
no subject
But for now he has a reputation to save. ]
See? [ Glancing at Nam Soon after that answer, tilting his head a little in Edgeworth's direction as if to say "at least he knows better, you bastard."
.. then again, he knows Edgeworth deals with criminals and the like. Of course he's seen more intimidating faces than Heung Soo's.. even though he's technically a criminal on probation too and all. ]
no subject
[listen, okay. strangely enough, this is nam soon's way of helping, because he knows that heung soo doesn't always have the best of luck making acquaintances, and that his dealings with adults can be pretty dicey because he's so rough around the edges.
...granted, nam soon isn't exactly the person most qualified for this. he's not really much better—he gets in trouble directly with adults less, but his temper is worse and he's a much more threatening person than heung soo when something hits his bad or protective side. it's not even like he'd normally joke with edgeworth, either...
it's only because heung soo is there, and despite his own discomfort with things, he wants his best friend to be able to get along with people. even the people he doesn't get along with the best himself. it's kind of a weird and circular way of handling things, but maybe that just goes to prove that he's bad at dealing with things and people.]
no subject
[Actually, Edgeworth doesn't see it as an insult, that he takes things too seriously.]
And it's true that I've dealt with far more intimidating people. [You didn't need to tell them that, Edgeworth.]
no subject
[ Despite the way of calling him though - it's normal to them, but it's not like other people know - there's something strangely affectionate in the middle of all the light tsun going on here, and it manifests in the way Heung Soo bumps his shoulder a little against the other guy's. He's way too used to this banter to take it too personally anyway, and at least this doesn't make him look totally weird in front of Edgeworth. ]
Don't blame people who can be responsible adults. [ Responsible adult certainly isn't Nam Soon's middle name, after all.. although he can be responsible enough in his own ways, and he's come a long way in that - Heung Soo could know.
But it's better for the banter to pull this to a "shush, the adults are speaking" kind of level. ]
