@▴ go minsoo "In the lounge.." he repeats and nods to show he understood and made a mental note to look for the human there if necessary. When he hears the squeak, all Wooseok does is laugh loudly and look over his shoulder to see if he was being followed. "Oh please, are you that slow? I'm sure you can run faster than that! An hour longer... sounds good to me, squeaky!"

@kim wooseok "of course i do", he replies, flashing a polite grin at the hybrid's way. "I can show you later. most of the time, when there's nothing else to do, i'm just in the lounge, though."
he flinches a little as the ball is thrown straight at his shoulder, and minsoo lets out a soft squeak. "hey-", he stammers out, laughing out heartily before following you quickly, not attempting to chase you as it could possibly scare you. "we can stay for a bit longer, but as soon as it starts to get dark, which should be in around an hour, we'll have to go inside. okay?

@▴ go minsoo "Don't you have a room here where I can find you or.. a favourite place?" He watches the snowball reach the ground and almost does the same with his own but then decides against it, throwing it right at the intern's shoulder before running away. "Don't feel like going inside already but you can try to get me!"

@kim wooseok he giggles out amusedly at the curiosity bubbling within your voice, and he nods slowly. "yes, some time. you can always come to me if you need distraction, well as long as i'm around." he lets his snowball drop to the ground, humming pensively. "i'm not sure. would you like to stay outside?"

@▴ go minsoo "I can always come to you when I need something to distract me, right? You seem to be good at it- a trick? What kind of trick? Wait some time means not now- alright!" He throws the ball into the air a few times and catches it again, wondering what to do with it and if it would be okay to hit the other with it. "Let's hope you're right. What now?"

@kim wooseok "i think you just need to find ways to distract yourself when you get into situations like these. look, i'm interested in working with energy- and there's a trick i'd like to try out with you some time." he nods understandingly at your words nevertheless. "we all have days when it's a little hard, don't worry. you'll be fine."

@▴ go minsoo Wooseok isn't quite sure if he knows what a coping mechanism is with everything that belongs to it but he nods anyway, looking at the snowball in his hands which is already looking better than before. "Self reflected.. it always depends on my mood and motivation to do my best. There are days where I'm too deep in a certain mindset that makes it hard to get out and things like that.. in those situations, they are able to convince or control me in a way." He admits without looking up. "I was lucky this time because you approached."

@kim wooseok minsoo notices how wooseok could suddenly follow his words, even if he was talking much. it was interesting, and at his question, he has to think hard before actually daring to reply. "i don't know you well enough to know about this, but a lot of times, this is a coping mechanism", he explains calmly, still encouraging the boy to work on his snowball. "one day you'll be able to make them go away before you sleep. and if you're trying hard, that will most likely be very soon. you sound pretty self reflected which is a good thing."

@▴ go minsoo The male is talking a lot but Wooseok pays attention to every single word now that he could focus and ignore everything else with the voices gone for now. It makes him wonder if he had ever dealt with something like that which could have caused his current problem.
"I have been begging them to let me sleep but they only laughed before continuing. There is actually one friend but he only appears every once in a while.. I don't know how I did that. You think that the mean comments came from things people said in the past?"
Receiving a grin makes me somewhat proud and I nod before shaping it some more and actually using enough pressure to make it stay together.

@kim wooseok "we're trying to find that out here, you know. have you tried telling them to give you some space? have you ever tried making them your actual friends? it happens in real life, too, you know. i mean, that people tell you things that are not so nice. and sometimes people remember these things for a very long time, and those things seem very present to them when they're not."
he continues focusing on the snowball before looking at yours, grinning widely. "great!", he hums cheerfully, nodding quickly, "try to shape it some more. pay close attention."

@▴ go minsoo He nods when the other repeats one word but then tilts his head, listening closely and thinking about the possibility for a while. "If they only want to accompany me.. why would they say bad things sometimes or be loud when I'm supposed to sleep? I do want to be alone sometimes."
Wooseok copies the other male- or at least tries to- with his hands forming a way smaller ball which is far from perfect and seems to be about to fall apart again. "Hm.. I wish you're right.. real friends would be way nicer."

@kim wooseok "afraid?", he answers, humming pensively. "are you sure that's why? maybe they accompany you when you're alone, maybe they don't mean to bother you. maybe they don't want you to be alone."
he his lip briefly, reaching down to grab some snow and form a ball out of it, rolling it on his palm until it makes an almost perfect sphere.
"i bet you're going to meet a lot of other nice people in the future."

@▴ go minsoo Exploring the garden in its white beauty, he completely forgets about his worries and problems which have been bothering him. Even if it is just for a few moments, it's still a nice break that he needed. Wooseok hears the question and answers it with a happy nod, stopping on the spot to let the other come closer again. "Maybe it's too cold for them to follow us. Or they are afraid of you which would be weird because you seem to be a really nice person."

@kim wooseok "it does!", minsoo agrees, the grin on his face never dying down as he watches the other break free from whatever had troubeled him so much before. Something about the building itself must've had a trigger point. But what could it possibly be? empty walls? stuffed walls? loneliness? not being active enough? Minsoo is curious to know, however for now he decides to let him run the excess energy off, always making sure to keep an eye on him. "are you feeling better now?", he asks, catching up on wooseok's tempo now.

@▴ go minsoo It's different to look at the snow from behind the window than to be able to touch and see it right in front of him and he definitely prefers the second option and runs a bit once he has the chance. He still listens to the other though and stays close enough to be heard and seen. "Doesn't it make everything prettier?"

@kim wooseok he musters the boy wrapped in warm, comfy clothes in front of him and nods briefly, letting out a soft, hearty laugh at his question and nods, opening the door to go outside.
"just please don't go away too far from me, yeah?", he asks, snow crunching softly underneath his shoes as he steps on it.
