Okay, well, apparently they're whispering sweet nothings to each other.  On top of making out.  It's fine.  He has Dungeon Sign flashcards on his phone.  He can endure this, and he won't even be wondering what they're saying to each other in .. whatever that language is?

"Hey, Aumento," Tae-hwan says, conversationally. "You never checked if you're compatible with hyung."

"Uh.  Right, sorry sir."  Hyung?  Is that like...honey?  Some kind of pet name???  Well.  He'll offer a palm to Min Woo-Young, and...ehhhh.  A little tinfoil?  Kinda?  "Not great here.  Sorry."

"Yeah, same."

"Oh, that's a shame. He's just bi so he wouldn't have the same problems I do."

Well it's not that bad I could pr WHO THE FUCK LETS YOU THINK WITH THAT BRAIN.  "Er.  Yeah.  Too bad."  Why.  WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.  OUT LOUD.

Is that the game they're playing. "Well it's not that bad," he says, because obviously that's what Aumento is thinking and, well, Woo-young also likes teasing cute boys, sue him.

oh no he's cute and into him.  what do you even say to that.

"<Was that what you wanted?>"

"<Oh I'm angling to have the two of you making out. Can you actually handle the incompat?>"

"<Yeah, it's unpleasant but not that unpleasant. It'd be hot if you made out with him, too.>"

"<I'll think about it.>"

"Ah, sorry, Aumento, we're being so rude speaking Korean like that."

"So rude. You shouldn't speak well of someone where they can't understand you."

Hnggkhfakfk?!  "Um.  It's...alright?"  What.  what.  what.

He's not used to flirting with people when he's not allowed to move. And also in a situation where technically they're his doctor and have a duty to stay around him even if he makes them uncomfortable? But also clearly Aumento finds them hot, and despite saying that he 'wasn't looking for that kind of guiding' earlier Tae-hwan was once a boy that age and he recognises the signs of horny desperation.

...possibly he should acquire more information about his target. "So, on a different topic, do you have a partner, Aumento?" Maybe the reason he's not looking for that kind of guiding is that he's monogamous. That'd be a bummer.

What?  "Uh.  Yessir.  You know S-Menhir, the geosensor who's been mapping out Arrakis?  Here, I've got a photo of her."  It's actually graduated to his lockscreen by now.  It's an action shot of Sara in the dungeon: she's battered, her clothes are disheveled, she's got a crab clinging sadly to her throat with one claw, but she's effervescently alive in that moment.  She's grinning fiercely up at the camera, with laughter and crab juice escaping her lips.  "She's so cool."  In the beginning, he's confused by the change of topic, but he warms up as he talks about her.

...d'awwwwwww. "Do you like her? —not in the English sense of the word. I mean do you like her like her?"

"Uh, we're - partners."  WHAT THE FUCK.  "I uh, I don't comment on our relationship.  Beyond that."  No???  She's not even interested in me???  It'd be silly to wait fuck.  "I mean, it's fine to ask, I just - without asking her - her privacy, you know?"  And I don't want to dive into something else right now?  But on the other hand, it's not like I'm going to see either of these two again, it's not like they're going to teleport in from Asia just to see me THIS IS A RATIONALIZATION.  But it's not...wrong...?

"Yeah, that makes sense. She seems cool, from that picture. It's just that I was wondering, you know, if the reason you weren't looking for that kind of guiding was that you were otherwise committed."

Woo-young is not going to ruin Tae-hwan's game by starting to giggle. Also, Tae-hwan looks hot when he turns the charm on like that and it's fun to watch, especially when he usually only does it for girls.

Oh.  Okay.  It all makes sense.  "Uh.  No, it's.  Unrelated."  Wow he looks hot.  Those lips...  "I'm not - aiming for a relationship right now?"  But maybe they're not, either???  Not with him?????

"Oh, yeah, that tracks. I'm not looking for one, either, but, you know, you don't need a relationship to do any kinds of guiding."

NOT LAUGHING. NOT. LAUGHING. NOT LAUGHING.

EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS SO CORNY.
