[ As the other cleans off his face with the towel, Minhwan starts to realise just how tired he is. No matter that he apparently passed out for hours in a nook of some dark street or alley, he still feels completely exhausted - even keeping himself sitting up like this feels like it takes too much energy, but even Minhwan can figure out that just plopping down on Jaejin's bed and passing out for a few more hours won't do much good for him as long as he's caked with dried up blood and dirt.
At least Jaejin is saying something that makes a little more sense to Minhwan. Their usual insults back and forth are something he can easily understand, it's just how everything between them goes at all times. He doesn't even think for a moment it's cruel for Jaejin to insult him while he's in this state. It'd only be weird if Jaejin didn't do it, no matter the situation.
Not that it means Minhwan will stay quiet. Especially in a situation like this, where the exhaustion in his bones and the way Jaejin rubs away the blood almost rhythmically feels like it'd be enough to lull him into sleep while sitting here. Running his mouth makes him feel a little more normal, at least, and it'll keep his brain going enough to keep him up too, even as he's obediently sitting there unmoving while Jaejin works on making him a little more presentable. ]
Just because you're in denial about it, does that mean the whole world is...? [ Usually it'd be said with a stupid smirk plastered all across his face, looking at Jaejin so eagerly, like he's almost excited to see the other's reaction to it - even though it usually wouldn't be more than a jab to his side or a punch in the shoulder.
Now it feels more lifeless instead, like Minhwan is too far gone in a haze to show the qualities about him that are the most like Minhwan.
Instead he stares at Jaejin's face while the other is still using the wet towel, something about the other's expression starting to bother him more and more, no matter how slow his mind feels for once. ]
.. Why do you keep making that face? [ It's an expression he never sees on Jaejin, and coupled with some of the other things he's said so far.. it's something beyond Minhwan's level of emotional understanding. It's why there's no teasing hint in his tone, even though he wouldn't be able to summon that much even if he wanted it anyway. ]
