"Say they decide, rather than Quasar, which dungeons they're doing, and then the time to do them is random, or vice versa, they're the ones to pick times and the dungeons are randomly assigned then."

"Oh, I like that, that's got potential."

"Yeah, I guess this is a weird situation where pure randomness can decrease security."

"They could teleport away from wherever they are at semi-random times? They'd decide on a list of times that they could teleport at in the morning, then get a random notification during the day at one or more of those times, so that they know that if they get a notification and it's not one of those times they're being tampered with. That gives them more opportunity to do things other than dungeons in public."

On the list! "Though going in public at all like that is still a pretty big hit to location security so we'll need to come up with some good control security measures later."

"Siloing elsewhere, not in Korea."

"They wouldn't like having to move again."

"This is the ideas phase, we can figure out which of them to implement later."

"The only way to increase location security after being found is to leave, right? Between random locations and their secret silos I'm not sure there are any better ideas."

"Let's think about it some more, we can take a break and go over control security after it's been a while since the last idea."

Once again, five minutes, by the clock.

By the end of which they haven't come up with any more ideas.

Juheon gets up, stretches, cracks a somewhat absurd number of joints, then turns to look at the living room (where Tae-gun is treating Hye-jin like a princess, as is right and proper of a good boyfriend) and asks, "Tae-gun, may I use your bathroom?"

He's broken out of his distraction and—fights the blush creeping up his neck with all his might. This is his house, he is pampering his partner, in his living room, he has no reason to feel embarrassed. "Yeah, down that hallway."

"Thank you. Oh, and by the way, good job."

Okay now he's blushing.

Hye-jin is, too, but she leans forward and gives him an affectionate kiss.

"Thank you, dear."

When will he be allowed to call her his girlfriend Lee Tae-gun please shut the fuck up.

"Bee tee dubs are you guys gonna rejoin us tonight or should we just keep going without you?"

... She is torn between operational efficiency and also how incredibly, fundamentally unappealing and soul crushing that sounds. And how nice being fussed over by Tae-gun is. She's a little afraid that the minute they are exposed to his friend group again, he's going to go back to jumping to conclusions and forgetting she exists failing to properly emote caring at her in favor of the many other social things being in a large group of people involves juggling.

It really doesn't take a social genius to notice her reaction, especially with how he's paying most of his attention to her specifically right now. "Probably not tonight, sorry."

Thank you Tae-gun she appreciates you Tae-gun.

aaaahhhhh he used to hate that smile and now he doesn't anymore aaaaaahhhhhhh

"Yeah, no probs. You got an office or somewhere more comfortable for us to keep going? Not that your dining room isn't lovely but a guy is getting a crick in his back."

"...I have an office upstairs, and you can get futons in the guest bedrooms?" He does not want to go fetch those for his friends right now even if that's "being" "a" "bad" "host" or something.

"I'll show them around, don't worry about it hyung."

"Thank you Woo-young-oppa. ... Though possibly they should have the living room and we should go elsewhere?"
