Awww…! [ he laughs ] I mean, I am English. We don’t even like our Indian curry to have too much spice.

[regressive]

You're missing out. [ Yaoi man likes his food spicy. ] But I can make you something that's not spicy, then. Maybe rice cake noodles with mild sauce and vegetables...

[ Not putting as many condiment as usual is going to be a challenge. ]

[dapples]

Well, even if I'm not very good with spice, I want to try as much as I can. Just ... make sure you have a glass of water on hand nearby.

[ Speaking of which. ]

Oh! Since the potatoes are nearly baked, shall we get the beans on the go?

[regressive]

Ah, right.

[ He got a bit distracted here, but to make up for it, Joonghyuk drains the canned beans really fast before putting them on the saucepan on small heat for a few minutes. He keeps stirring while continuing his conversation with Brambles. ]

I'm not sure if one glass of water will do, potato boy.

[dapples]

"Potato boy"?!

[ THAT'S NOT AN IDEAL NICKNAME FOR YOUR FUTURE BF, YJH!!!! ]

Um ... you don't need water! You just cook the beans on the hob in the pan, like that. Sometimes I like to be extra wild and add soy sauce. [ TRULY NOTHING MORE WILD THAN SOY SAUCE ]

[regressive]

Is hot potato any better?

[ There, he said it. ]

Extra wild? [ Joonghyuk can't hold in that laugh. ] I had no idea I know such a hardcore man...

[dapples]

Haha! "Hot potato"! Good one.

[ It sounds a bit self-deprecating and it kind of is - he wouldn't call himself hot by any measure. But! It's a game. So it's fine. ]

Oh, yeah. The most hardcore of all. [ /said while laced with sarcasm, he knows he's a little bit pathetic when it comes to food. ]

[regressive]

Someone cute can be hot, too.

[ Joonghyuk mumbles, looking away from him. ]

Hardcore or not, you're fine the way you are.

[dapples]

Wait, you think I'm cute?

[ SIR?????????????????? ]

I-I--! [ he has nothing to say to that last part either, because now, he's bright red. 😳 ]

[regressive]

I mean... that's factual?

[ If someone thinks otherwise, send them to Joonghyuk. He will kick their ass. ]

[dapples]

O-Oh! Factual. I see.

[ blush!!! ]

I had no idea ...

[regressive]

Well, I can't help it if people are blind. But... at least the admin caught up.

[ Yes, he's still jealous!!! ]

[dapples]

The admin...? [ sorry, yjh, he can't help but laugh a little ] The admin thinks I'm cute? [ ??????? ]

[regressive]

[ That laugh makes his chest sink. ]

Do you think he's cute, then?

[dapples]

I don't know. I have no idea what he looks like.

[regressive]

Huh???

[ Joonghyuk's gaze is fixed on Brambles as he's trying to understand what just happened here. ]

Hien. Hien the administrator.

[ Okay, he's walking around in a cloak but??? ]

[dapples]

Well, yeah! I know what his avatar looks like. Big cloak guy! But he probably doesn't look like that in real life, surely ... unless he's sitting at his desk while wrapped in a bedsheet.

[regressive]

Aren't you friends?

[ This is getting nowhere!! But he still pursues the subject. ]

[dapples]

I don't know anything about him, really.

[regressive]

I see.

[ So Brambles doesn't want to tell him anything, huh!!! ]

Maybe I should make one more potato for him.

[ So he can CHOKE ON IT ]

[dapples]

Oh, yeah! You could turn it into a potato pal! He's talked about those before!

[ CLEARLY NOT UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT BEING MADE HERE, ]

[regressive]

I'm not doing that.

[ Potato pal his ass!!! ]

He has enough pals already.

[ Like Brambles... ]

[dapples]

...

[ Pause. Said playfully: ]

Are you jealous?

[regressive]

What?

[ !!! ]

Why would I be?

[dapples]

[ He shrugs! ] I don't know! Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick. But you really don't seem to like Hien.
