#byan vc: i get bein weirdly intense about shit u care about but this seems excessive

ㅤㅤ" okay, but a selfie with raccoons doesn't necessarily mean he lives with 'em. "ㅤnot to mention it wouldn't be particularly hard to photoshop such a thing, but if han really wants to believe it... they can at least keep that part to themself. it's not like they've seen the pictures, right?

ㅤㅤ" yeah? i think he'd prob'ly like that. "ㅤsmiling a little harder than they want to be over the idea of having haneul meet sol, byan brushes his hair back out into its usual style with a shrug.ㅤ" i'll hafta introduce ya sometime. y'know, i dunno why it didn't occur t' me sooner, 'cause he likes stars too — you guys'll have loads to talk 'bout. "

not expecting that the topic of aliens to be the one haneul is the most serious about, they give a faint start when he suddenly grabs at their arm, eyebrows jumping up their forehead.

ㅤㅤ" wh— wait, wait, wait, now? "ㅤutterly perplexed by the complete shift of the room's energy over one (arguably ridiculous) subject, byan exhales a somewhat bemused laugh.ㅤ" right this second? i got shit t' do, man— "ㅤthey don't.ㅤ" an' isn't the x-files just, like, some old sci-fi show? how's'at s'posed to convince me? i mean, s'not even like i don't believe, i just haven't really thought about it— "

“ oh.... hm. ” he hadn't really even considered the boy would be lying to him, but.... “ no, he even showed me pictures! a selfie with them! ” although those could have been photoshopped somehow... but the thought of being lied to so easily is a little too distressing, so haneul quickly moves on.

“ ah! haneul will be his friend! ” haneul exclaims, nodding to punctuate his point. the young boy could certainly have more friends, and if byan liked him, than sol must be great! he likes the expression on byan's face when they talk about him, like their edges have all softened. it's sweet, and he's definitely not jealous at all.

he gapes at byan's total indifference to the existence of aliens. this simply won't do. “ you GUESS? ” his hands wrap around byan's arm, tugging gently at them. “ byan-ah, this is the most important criteria. if you don't believe aliens..... where is your joy? your wonder? your WHIMSY? ” it is simply inconceivable. and no friend of haneul's will hold such apathetic views of their possible universe-neighbours. “ you are coming to my house, and we are watching the x-files. right now. ”
