/walks in here with a low grumble and a frown, tapping my finger against my hand with a low huff/

.. wow, it's quiet.

*gives everyone freshly baked cookies*

hello sir-- /peeks up from under my blanket, flicking off the flashlight i was using to read

/shuffles in, seeming much more drained than ever/

well.. i guess that's good. one person thinks so, at least. /nods once, smiling softly towards the floor

I'm glad, Changkyun. /considering your words, I tip my head once with a faint smile/ I suppose that's true. Though, I've spoken with you now, and you still don't seem crazy to me.

good, i like that. /nodding a few times, i brush my fingers along my sweater, scrunching my nose
except its fairly easy to spend days and days alone and seem weird or crazy because you dont... do anything.

/without knowing what to say, I tip my head once more to the stranger and then look away/

Of course, of course. I mean you don't strike me that way. /laughing along, there's something about the sound that almost seems out of the ordinary, but it's difficult to tell how as I make myself comfortable as well on my perch/

im not crazy though! or weird. /laughs softly under my breath, casting my gaze to the floor and slowly stretching out my legs in front of me, clearly becoming more comfortable

Well, unless it's done so in a friendly way. /chuckles softly and gestures vaguely with my left hand/

i hope so. friends shouldnt think of each other as crazy, or weird. /nods slowly, my smile widening slightly
hopefully.

/glances over at the newcomer and briefly bows my head/

Is that so? Well you seem far more normal than some of the basket cases that I pass by. /a small, feline smile curves the corner of my lips/ That's understandable. I'm sure it will happen with time.

ah... some would say i dont handle mine too well. /blinks a few times before slowly nodding, pursing my lips into a small smile
yeah... im not sure how to fix it, really-

Oh we all do. Everyone has some kind of skeleton in their closet. It's how you deal with them that matters. /smiling in return, I tip my hand, a slight shrug of my shoulder following your slip/ Ah-ah, those formalities just want to stay don't they?

i've got something, but its nothing like these crazy people. /casting my gaze donw, i dont catch your expression, though i look back up with a beaming smile, as if proud of myself
you're welcome, s-- junsu!

I suppose that's true. Most people in this world have their own... turmoil. /at your words, I lift a hand, hiding my expression behind it as I smirk at the thought, though I play it off with a deferential reply/ I'm flattered, Changkyun.

im used to it. everyone's ed up in some way, so i try to steer clear. but you-- you're a good one. /nods firmly, offering you a small smile

That's unfortunate, Changkyun. /crossing my legs, I wave a hand dismissively in front of my face/ Well we'll be changing that.

i like that-- friends. i know i said it before but... i dont have friends. /laughs softly, giving a small shrug as i look over at you

I prefer not to stand on such ceremony. I'd prefer to think of us as becoming friends. /as you seem to curl into yourself, I move to take a seat a slight distance away/

no didnt forget-- im just much more used to calling people by titles, rather than names. /nods slowly, drawing my knees to my chest

Much better. /chuckles softly as I lift my head/ I was worried you had forgotten.

/quickly drops my gaze, bringing my hand up to cover my cheeks
r-right, si-- uhh... junsu..

/drawing my hand away from my mouth, I incline my head toward you/ You could say that, but what did I say about calling me sir, Changkyun?

/once im settled, my eyes widen slightly as i look up at junsu
tired, sir?

/conveniently, I follow in behind Changkyun and cover my mouth before I yawn from the fatigue of the day/

/peeks my head in, seeing that it's quiet, and shuffles in to quietly plop down in the corner
