Moon-ssi’s quick cover up that he’d just been teasing made a slight smirk tug at the edge of Jin’s lips. He didn’t buy it; the blush that warmed his friend’s handsome face said otherwise. Moon-ssi never got shy or awkward. It was ridiculously endearing, especially over something that he’d only suggested in an effort to care for Jin. He was good at that: always knowing or trying to know when Jin needed something. Poking the big quidditch player in the cheek, Jin huffed a little laugh. “ Geurae,” he chirped teasingly again. “We’ll go with that.”

The fact of the matter as to why Moon-ssi tried so hard to care for him hadn’t really… ever occurred to Jin. It wasn’t so out of the norm for them. Ever since they’d met, Moon-ssi had been ready to pummel anyone who was mean to him. He brought Jin snacks and made sure he ate and slept regularly. He just… cared. However odd it might seem. And Jin tried to do the same back, too. Case in point— the shiso leaves. It’s just how they were.

Grinning at his friend’s question, Jin looked out over the clearing through the side of thier little shelter. “Not far,” he reassured. “They should be growing just there on the other side of this clearing.” He pointed to the right. Yomogi grew like wildfire and was a very invasive herb. It wouldn’t be hard to grab a whole sack-full once they found it. Turning back to Moon-ssi, Jin nudged him in the shoulder. There was no rhyme or reason to it, just because. If he smiled happily to himself, that was also just because he could.

(He didn’t take for granted anymore the limited time they had together, like this.)

His cover-up hadn't been convincing enough, if Seojin-a's response was anything to go by. Still, he grinned when his cheek was poked, and they were able to move on from the moment that would haunt him every evening when he was trying to fall asleep—likely for the rest of his life. His friend pointed, and Seojin-a followed his line of sight. They really weren't far from the yomogi. He grunted in acknowledgement. And then... it was silent again. Except for the sounds of the outdoors and the soft breaths of Seojin-a.

"I had a dream just like this once," he said suddenly. "Only it was the pavilion near the Quidditch pitch, and you gave me jujube. It made all my teeth fall out." Ahn-Bo glanced over his shoulder to catch his friend's expression, his own amused and curious. "What do you think it means?"

Awkward. That was the only word for the way Moon-ssi was acting. Jin was no stranger to awkwardness, having found himself in many a situation to feel uncomfortable or shy or blushy; but he wasn’t nearly as extroverted or easygoing as his friend. It amused him endlessly to know that Moon-ssi was trying to breeze past the moment like it was nothing and let them get on with their lives when in reality, he was probably swimming in discomfort. It was absolutely adorable (because there was no reason for it) and almost made Jin laugh. He wasn’t trying to be mean as he snickered and squinted at his friend. It was just fun to have the sock on the other foot for once.

“Gwenchana, Moon-ssi?” he asked in his sing-songy voice, completely ignoring the comment and question about the dream. (Jin was not about to indulge talk of dreams when he had so many he’d rather keep under lock and key.) Leaning towards his friend teasingly, he flashed a toothy smile. “You seem awfully uncomfortable after asking me to sit in your lap.” Jin raised an eyebrow pointedly. “If I knew my refusal would make you so squirmy, I might have agreed.”

“Ne,” he said quickly. He was completely fine. There was nothing to be laughing or teasing about-and certainly not squinting at him like he’d lost his mind. It was a valid question! And completely different than his retrospectively inappropriate offer.

Apparently with their positions reversed (Ahn-Bo being the shy one, Seojin-a being the tease), his friend took his role seriously. The confident look in his golden eyes sent a little shiver through Ahn-Bo. He didn’t think the vampire was trying to be overly charming and flirty, but it was difficult not to think that way as he leaned in even closer. He was still just joking… right? They hadn’t switched roles to the point where Ahn-Bo was oblivious and Seojin-a was the one who wasn’t.

He laughed in disbelief, “Seonjin-a, jugeullae?” This did nothing to cure his cheeks from turning pink as the image of his friend sitting in his lap popped into his mind. Nope, better not think of that right now. Ahn-Bo would be horrified if the vampire caught onto that particular line of thinking and how his body was reacting to it… so he grabbed hold of his end of the rope in the mental game of tug-a-war and gave it a strong yank.

“Jinja?” he quirked a brow, purposely not providing any context to whether he was joking, or actually asking for real. “Are you trying to tell me something, Seojin-a?”

Jin snickered at his friend’s response. He didn’t understand why Moon-ssi was so bothered by what he’d said. Sure, it was a little dramatic considering they weren’t out here dying from frostbite, but it had been sweet. Very much what he would expect from his danjjak chingu-ya. He hadn’t refused because he thought it was weird; he’d refused because it would be much too telling. But Moon-ssi did seem to be taking his refusal to heart and Jin almost felt bad for teasing him about it. Almost.

Wrinkling his nose at the playful comeback and smirking, Jin raised his chin and inclined his head to the side. He didn’t care if Moon-ssi was joking or serious; there was no way he knew, obviously— Jin was very careful to prevent as much— so he figured his friend must be grasping at straws to try and distract him. To that aim he chirped a teasing little “Ani. Just making sure,” and shrugged gently. But Jin knew Moon-ssi pretty well. He was definitely hiding something.

Taking another jujube out of his friend’s hand, Jin pressed it to Moon-ssi’s lips. “I hope your teeth don’t fall out for lying,” he smirked.

He laughed at Seojin-a’s quip, because what else was there to do? The sooner they could move on from it (and maybe his friend would forget it ever happened), the better. Ahn-Bo would be over it soon enough, just so long as he was given some time to recover his wits. But he didn’t get any time at all-Seojin-a’s cold fingers were suddenly against his lips and it was all he could do not to startle like a deer caught in the moonlight.

Ahn-Bo snorted in amusement before he opened his mouth and let the jujube be popped onto his tongue. It was possible he may have closed his lips more quickly than necessary simply so he could have an excuse to have his lips against his friend, and it was also possible his tongue had darted into a little lick, but he’d never admit it. The taste of Seojin-a’s jujube stained fingers would be his own little secret. “If they do, you’ll have to chew my food for me, like a mother bird.” This time, his laugh was real.

With his fingers pressed up against Moon-ssi’s lips, Jin could feel a warm breath when his friend snorted. It sent a delightful little shiver down his spine that could not be attributed to the cold. His keen gaze was fixed on the way Moon-ssi allowed him to pop the jujube into his mouth and the sight of it did something to Jin, deep in his core. Or maybe lower down. He wasn’t particularly surprised when Moon-ssi licked him, even if it did trigger a faint flush against his cheeks, and he was even less surprised at the gross comment that followed. Any mesmerizing bubble that seeing his cute tongue had evoked immediately popped.

Rolling his eyes and making a show of wiping his hand on his robes, Jin grinned. “You’re so annoying,” he muttered, feigning huffiness. “I should leave you here to find your own yomogi.” His cheeks were still pink but whatever had happened in his chest seemed to have settled, for now. Jin was glad. He didn’t know if from this close range he’d be able to hide much if they got a little too close and personal.

Ahn-Bo laughed and chewed his jujube around his smug grin. He was always highly entertained by his friend’s annoyance, and this time was no different. No matter where they were or what they did, they managed to find a way to make each other laugh.

“You’ll abandon me in my time of need?” he exclaimed dramatically, fisting the fabric of Seojin-a’s sleeve and clutching it to his chest as if were horrified. He hopped to his feet suddenly, the side where the vampire had pressed against him felt the sting of the autumn breeze already. “You can’t go anywhere without this!” A hearty shake of the (mostly) empty canvas bag he’d been carrying all day, and then he took off toward the clearing for no other reason than it sounded like fun (and he wanted to make Seojin-a laugh.)

Dramatic antics were par for the course in response to Jin’s feigned huffiness and he was pleased as Moon-ssi relished in it. There was never a shortage of reasons to tease or harass or make one another laugh. Whether it was serious in nature or merely ridiculous, they complimented each other's weaknesses in a way that made spending time together enjoyable, even while doing mundane tasks like this foraging assignment. Jin laughed as he was tugged slightly and then abandoned (how rude) while his friend took off. “Yah! Moon-ssi!” he protested and shook his head. They didn’t have anything to tidy really so he turned and followed at a much slower pace in the direction Moon-ssi had darted.

Cold again from being left to fend for himself, Jin shivered slightly. He couldn’t remember any warming charms off the top of his head and his wandless magic was still a little lacking so he lamented as he crossed through the grass and joined his friend. Moon-ssi had darted vaguely in the right direction of the yomogi and the sooner they wrapped this up, the sooner they could head back to the palace and warm up. (If the thought wasn’t nearly as enticing to Jin as it should have been, he tried not to think about it.)

He approached his friend and made a vague gesture for Moon-ssi to come closer. “Iriwa,” he beckoned, ominously. As soon as he was within reach, Jin moved his left hand up to his friend’s face. “You have something—" he muttered quietly under his breath. One thumb moved as if to wipe dirt from Moon-ssi’s cheek as his pointed finger instead flicked Moon-ssi in the nose. “That’s for running away with the assignment,” he teased. Then Jin tugged the bag from Moon-ssi’s grasp and began to peruse for the yomogi.
