“i’ll be fine, maybe i can loose a few braincells. maybe earblood would get better,” minseok laughed with his head still only a few inches away from the mixing board in front of them, or at least, he did until he heard hyosang’s joke afterwards and finally sat back up to actually be level to his friend. “c’mon, dude, don’t you think that it’s not fair if giving fish my cut would just go back to you? you can’t be my boss and his financial advisor. it’s conflicting interests, or whatever.” min’s mind started to go back to all the times he had already been overthinking what yein’s engagement ring should look like. “i don’t care if a stylist doesn’t like it, i just want yein to like it.” he felt like he had been going over it in his head over and over again as he tried to find one that was just right that as much as it felt like a relief to talk about it with hyo, it also reminded him that he still didn’t actually have one yet.
min laughed again when hyo mentioned yuji’s girlfriend, “we’re supposed to call her eunji, she heard me call her ‘yuji’s girlfriend’ at yuji’s show last week and last time i saw her she cornered me to make sure i remembered what her name is.” though there was still laughed in his voice, minseok really did take eunji seriously. he thought she was cool, and she definitely seemed to make yuji happy, and if she had gone out of her way to correct him, he figured that he should tell hyo too. they seemed to share a braincell often enough anyway. “yein wouldn’t want a big ring though, i think she hates spending money like that as much as i do. she doesn’t even like wearing big jewelry like that anyway,” min paused, “you’re right. i should just let myself get one made for her.”
“it’s not personal, min, it’s just business. and i’d do anything for my son,” hyo said in reference to fish, not being able to keep a straight face for even a moment. “no, no, i know. you’re right. i’m not saying the stylist needs to like it. i’m just saying if it snags something she’ll get in trouble. not that she seems like she’d like something big enough to snag anyway, but you get what i mean.”
“she’s kind of scary, eunji is. perfect for yuji. love that for them,” hyo said in response, snorting. “as if i of all people don’t know who ho eunji from harmony is. queen? legend? singer of like a cat, miniskirt, heart attack, and other classics? you all underestimate me,” he replied dramatically, though he took note to be more conscious about how he referred to her. he didn’t want to upset anyone. “get one made! get one made! make it bright green and shaped like a dino!”
