[ uta will do her best not to laugh when she seems him look over his notes to purposefully pull out one that apparently suits his personality. it might be a losing battle because the answer he gives is really self-aware, isn't it?

guess it's only fair if she does the same. ]

Maybe you should eat a bit more Piney Apples; they might be good for you. I know I've definitely had my fair share of White Cherries.

[ as for what uta could benefit from eating to counter this? probably bear cat eggs ironically. ]

I suppose I could except I do want to take some level of ownership. A parent should raise their children with care and attention! [ and because sometimes it's okay to be simple: ] And I think they just sound funny. Have you heard them yet?

[regressive]

I assume you want me to be more friendly rather than silly. [ Why would anyone want him to be silly? Or, actually, why would anyone want to be silly in general? That's... silly stupid. ] I'm trying.

[ But if they're talking about grunty food in this manner, Joonghyuk decides to make a comment after thinking it over for a while. ]

You had your share of La Pumpkins too if you ask me.

[ There, he said it. Now it's time to get back to Serious Business. The words about being a parent fluster him for some mysterious reason. ]

Care and attention, but a parent should also help their children grow. [ So many hot takes in this conversation, he will never recover from this. ] I haven't. How do they sound like?

[ He's counting on your best Oh No Melon impersonation, Uta. ]

[tot]

I'll keep that in mind and limit how many La Pumpkins that I have in a day. [ she'll have a good laugh at that. ] And I think you could be a little bit sillier, but I feel like that would come to you as you become friendlier.

[ her voice softening as she laces her fingers together momentarily and thinking over his words. i'm sorry that he's having so many takes in this convo. i don't think they'll stop any time soon. ]

I'd consider care and attention part of the process of helping their child grow—if you ask me—and you haven't? Well then!

[ ask and you shall receive!!! uta will clear her throat for a moment before giving her best impression of the whole thing. ]

Oh No Melon~!

[ it'll be pretty spot on but just still too feminine to match it entirely. she'll even make the "oh no" face to go along with the impersonation. is this what you wanted joonghyuk? i hope that he was recording it so that he could have it forever. ]

[regressive]

You don't have to limit yourself.

[ It might sound like he's contradicting himself here, but it's actually his lack of communication skills. But for once, he's going to try his best to get his point across. ]

You're good as you are. [ That logic... well, it doesn't have to apply to him, right? ] But stick to normal food, unless you want La Pumpkins to talk in your stomach.

[ It's a ridiculous fact to point out, but here he is. It's not even the most ridiculous thing to happen during this conversation, so it should be all right. Also, this hopefully is the face Uta's making while saying "oh no". He's not recording it, yet it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be lost forever. Oh no Melon!Uta is going to live rent free in his head.

The next moment, something unexpected happens and it's Joonghyuk trying to impersonate one of these melons as well. His voice is to deep, so it's far off from the somewhat squeaky voice an Oh no Melon! can make. ]

Oh no Melon.

[ fortunately for him, he does get his point across and uta will offer him a warm smile as a reward of sorts. she's really happy for him and this progress? tossing all notions of bad reputations into the garbage, she definitely likes this side of him and is happy to be able to speak with him like this.

she couldn't simply leave him with a smile as she'll quickly start laughing as she pats her stomach, however before she gets the chance to comment on it, the statement of a lifetime will come across her ears. it's so good that he'll have Oh No Melon!uta living rent free in his head because she'll have the same.

once she gets over the shock of it. which will take her a bit as she'll just stand there gaping at him, slowing raising a hand to cover her mouth. if he's worried that she'll end up laughing at him...? well— ]

[tot]

D...Do that again—!

[ cue her take a step into his bubble but still respecting distance. ]

Please! [ a step even closer to him. ] I wasn't ready!

[ how will this man deal with an uta who will be giving him a look with stars in her eyes and nearly vibrating with excitement. what does she mean by she wasn't ready? there are two guesses and maybe both of them will be wrong. ]

[regressive]

[ Normally, he would just log out. But how many times can he tell people that he has connection issues when he has to face the consequences of his actions? Joonghyuk clears his throat and looks away, flustered. After catching a single glimpse of Uta's gaze, he can feel her eyes focused on him even when he's avoiding eye contact.

What does I wasn't ready even mean in this context? He's contemplating just asking Uta for an explanation, but in the end he just takes a deep breath and makes the worst impersonation of the grunty food once again. ]

Oh no Melon. [ A sigh. ] Oh no Melon.

[ Two in price of one! ]

[tot]

[ thank you for this food joonghyuk; this will feed uta for the months and awful things to come. his sacrifice and tribute will be put to good use.

now, as for what she's preparing herself for? well, it's a very good thing that he does it twice because she still wasn't quite ready despite the deep breath to cue her in. (which totally wasn't because she was making sure she was set up properly to record the whole thing.) uta will absolutely for the next time and join him for the second impression.

of course her's will be far more energetic and closer to the fruit itself but those are not important details. ]

Oh No Melon~!

[ bet he wasn't expecting that to happen. ]

[regressive]

[ After their little collaboration, Joonghyuk takes a deep breath and frowns. It was a little fun which might be precisely the reason why he's looking so sullen. ]

I will never do this again.
