The dungeon is in Korea, but as an esper with a pretty specialised power niche Haru is used to occasionally having to go international for these dungeons, and the fact that he already speaks Korean is definitely a bonus. The espers he's going to be working with are all in Quasar Guild, which is the largest one in Korea and which has just recently acquired a very powerful teleportation esper, one whose power can be stored in batteries Quasar also happened to already have in its possession, so they're covering the teleportation cost for Haru to get there.
...is that meant to be an insult. Jaeha is being SCRUPULOUSLY ETHICAL and can't tell but it felt like it was maybe meant to be an insult?
"The tall, dark, and handsome vibe can totally swing that way, depending on how you do it."
Pet pet. "I have felt the siren call of motorcycle ownership and I refrain. The price we pay for longevity."
...okay he also doesn't want Haru to die but the thought of him in motorcycle leathers pulling up to Jaeha's house and pulling his helmet off and winking at him and taking him for a ride... the part of him that's still a teenager can absolutely see the appeal.
He will SCRUPULOUSLY ETHICALLY not erase ANYONE'S memories even if he embarrasses himself. "I mean."
Hyun-jae lifts her hand to block Jaeha's sight and looks away like he just turned on a spotlight from where he's smiling. "I should've brought my sunglasses."
You know what, it's fine if people know he's in the palm of Haru's hand. It's true and not embarrassing and people should know it.
"On paper we've been officially partners just since signing with Quasar. Came together pretty fast since we met."
...okay he. Kind of likes that response. It's ambiguous and misleading and yet it still makes him not look like a pathetic worm who's begging for scraps of attention and is inevitably going to be abandoned soon maybe today. Like, that's still true, but at least he gets to save face about it.
