[ He won't, he really won't. Jinwoo's too busy holding their stuff, anyway! But for some reason, it's difficult for him to ignore how his heart is thumping in his chest. After a few minutes, Jinwoo speaks up: ]
[ Lapis is at least making sure to shower quickly, not wanting him to stand there for too long. Though that question makes her pause, and she brushes back wet hair as she glances back over at him. ]
Yeah, it's okay. [ Then she pauses, considering... Should she be a little mean...
...
And then a finger gently pokes at the back of his neck. ]
[ In response, Lapis proceeds to laugh - totally unapologetic and far too amused. ]
And I was going to ask you to help with my back.
[ Just going to tease him a little more, before she ducks her head back under the water. Lapis is true to her word about not taking long and once her hair is sufficiently washed, she'll take a moment to brush it back. ]
[ He really worried for nothing and acted as if Lapis wouldn't take advantage of his, well, silly offer. ]
My turn, I need one minute.
[ Is he planning to use Dash for showering? Absolutely. But first things first—Jinwoo needs to leave their stuff with Lapis before disappearing behind a shower curtain. ]
[ Sonic speed showering... But Lapis will look after their stuff once dressed - luckily putting on a nightgown is quick and easy - humming softly to herself as she waits. ]
You don't need to be so quick. [ Pause. ] Or I can help you, if you want.
[ Adds "sick h/c" to our list... Lapis is the most whiny and needy when sick, but Jinwoo probably wouldn't mind at all tbh. ]
Hmm... When I was a teenager, I think it was just before I turned sixteen. I caught this really bad flu, I was stuck in bed for days. I had Sylvia and the others to keep me company, but it still sucked a lot.
[ Y for Dash, and Lapis even expectantly lifts her arms so he'll pick her up. ]
[ ROARS whiny and needy Lapis!? Can she catch a cold faster 🥺 Also her lifting her arms is so cute, Jinwoo's heart skips a beat even if he's not sure why. Thanks to his nyoomies, getting back to Lapis' room in the Redemption block takes no longer than a minute.
Once they're inside, Jinwoo's gaze darts to the bed. The single bed. The only one bed in the room. Well, technically he knew that all along, but... ]
[ Things that could potentially happen at the end of the month maybe 👀
This is how Lapis will communicate he should pick her up, just like that. And with the power of the nyoomies, they're in her room in record time and... Is he only realizing this? Lapis just glances between him and the bed for a moment, before nodding. ]
Mmhm, there's only one bed. Like in all our rooms. [ Solo Bedding - ]
[ Lapis, meanwhile, is still totally relaxed. Mostly. Now that they're laying down next to each other she's a little more... flustered than she was expecting.
But she can still act relaxed, this is fine. ]
Not too much space at all. Jinwoo, I promise I really don't mind, so please don't worry.

Is everything okay?
[ Why wouldn't it be... ]
no subject
Yeah, it's okay. [ Then she pauses, considering... Should she be a little mean...
...

Why? Do you want to help me shower?
no subject
[ That poke is super effective... if Lapis wanted to see him jump on the spot and snap his head to the side. ]
No, just checking!

[ He leaves the shower just a few seconds later with a damp towel placed on top of his head, wearing a loose T-shirt and boxers. ]
I don't want you to catch a cold.
no subject
[ But there he is, and she can't resist reaching up to ruffle that towel against his hair for a moment. ]
Don't worry about me, I haven't gotten sick in years. [ Watch her catch a cold one day while they're here - ]
But it is a little cold now, lets head to my room.
no subject
When was the last time then?
[ For now, he'll take a story about baby Lapis sneezing and coughing. ]
Yeah, sure.
[ Dash y/n? ]

Are you... uncomfortable?
no subject
No, that's not it. [ Jinwoo shakes his head lightly. ] It's more... are you alright with this arrangement? I can sleep on the floor.
[ It might be a little cold down there, but it's fine. ]
no subject
You're not sleeping on the floor, Jinwoo. [ Lapis is being firm on that. ]
I don't mind sharing, and I would definitely rest better if you weren't on the floor.
no subject
[ What he doesn't know yet is that they're going to end up cuddling in less than five minutes, probably. ]
no subject
[ Cuddling is imminent.
But Lapis will lead the way to the bed first, gently tugging him along. Lay down next to her, Jinwoo! ]
no subject
Isn't that too much space, though?
[ This might be the only instance he misses the way he was built before becoming a player. ]
no subject

Not too much space at all. Jinwoo, I promise I really don't mind, so please don't worry.
[ And he would know if she did mind. ]
