[the way heung soo bumps into him is comfortable and familiar; it's subtle to anyone who may witness it, but nam soon knows and understands the intent behind it. and really, that's all that matters right now, because nobody else could grasp that the way they do. their forms of nonverbal communication remain stronger than what's spoken aloud—nam soon is happy for that much. having grown so used to living in silence, there's something warm about someone understanding those things easily. and it goes both ways, of course, since heung soo is much the same.]
Yeah. [he agrees quietly, eyes darting up at the sky for a moment. that's what they have to do, isn't it? they can't live in fear of what terrible thing may happen next, or if they're ever going to get back to seoul. even if it's hard to keep any sense of positivity, even if they don't know what's to come, they can't just not live. nam soon knows that, since he already spent three years of his life not living at all because of his strife and guilt. they can't do that now, and he won't let heung soo fall into that hole the way he did in the past.
the have to keep moving forward now, they have to find the things that make it all a little better while they wait. it doesn't mean becoming complacent or ignoring the problems they have. but if there's no way back, if this is all they have left, then they have to live. nam soon gets that, even if the notion that one of them just disappearing without the other is another fear that can sit in the back of his mind, remaining unspoken until there is a reason to bring it up. right now... right now is about finding the positives in this bullshit circumstance, though.] It's all we can do. We have to... we have to live as well as we can.
