[he responds softly, quietly, because nam soon knows why that request is being made. maybe if someone else had heard it, they wouldn't know or understand the subtle implication of a request like that. they wouldn't know that's a request to keep moving forward, to put those three miserable years behind them. it's a request for him to start living like a person again, and even though that's been a difficult adjustment to try and make over the last few months... he's trying.
he's trying, and he wants to try for heung soo's sake. part of that may be his selfish desire to not be alone anymore, or to not lose heung soo like he did in the past. but more of it is wanting to be that much better because it's what heung soo wants. they may not really ever be able to go back to way things used to be in precise way, but they need to move forward like this; nam soon knows he needs to be a little better in order for that to happen. and on a day like this, where heung soo is putting in such a strong effort while also being a supporting shoulder and source of encouragement...
well, why wouldn't he want to try?]
It's not like you'd let me forget, anyway. [his teasing is subtle and just as quiet, coming with a bit of a nudge as he finishes the last spoonful of soup in his bowl.]
