[ 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. ]

[it's the sort of pattern nam soon has taking a liking to, especially since they can't always meet up for lunch, and until they get fed up and find a place to work together, it's one of the best ways to make up for time lost that they'd be close by back in seoul.

when they're like this, nam soon is at his most natural, too. his shoulders are relaxed and he's able to lean into heung soo comfortably and casually, letting out a laugh as he swoops in for the chopstick steal-bite. it's followed by laughter, even as he attempts to dodge heung soo's nudging. at least he plays kind of fair—he takes some food from his tray between his chopsticks and playfully shoves it towards heung soo's mouth with little warning.

there aren't many passers by, but the ones that do likely perceive it as nothing more than teenage boys goofing off while they eat—playful roughhousing and bickering has been their way for a long time, after all.

it's not until nam soon spots edgeworth from the corner of his line of sight that the tension creeps back into his body. just as if he were seeing one of his teachers or his boss from back home, the laughter sinks back into something a bit more withdrawn. there's a little bit of annoyance that shifts into his expression, too. he doesn't really hate edgeworth, but he could liken it to how annoyed he gets at one particular hagwon teacher-turned homeroom-teacher that gets under his skin constantly.]

Aish... [having to see him here and now, even if just in passing is kind of annoying. can't they just annoy their meal without having to see the people that make their days longer and more tiring?]
