I dunno, man. I haven't really eaten a ton of people-shaped cakes, so who knows? Maybe?
[He's joking around, but he does take another bite - evidently he brought it up more for a laugh than anything else, because it isn't actually keeping him from eating it.
He manages three whole pre-cut bites before he sets his fork down, which is frankly good progress for him. Min's seen him go a couple days without food before, even when they weren't guaranteed food in every train car. This time though, he stops because he has one more thing he wants to say. They can't deep dive into anything in the middle of a birthday party, but...there's one more thing he should probably say while he's thinking about it, before it slips forgotten through his fingers or gets weird to bring up out of context.]
Thanks, by the way.
[For listening. For letting Ryan talk about it without judging too hard. Things have been better between them, so really there's no question he would have.]
A lot of the time I'm not...like, I suck at bringing this stuff up? I'm not trying to like hide it, it's just...a lot. And weird to just share out of nowhere? Like I'm not gonna sit at the dinner table and go "Hey Min-Gi, wanna hear about one of the worst gigs ever for no reason?". Then sometimes when it could come up...I dunno?
[He's stumbling over the point, so he decides to just leap straight to the end of the thing he wanted say in the first place.]
But I trust you. So like, if you're ever wondering about something or want to ask me stuff? You totally can. Anytime. Seriously. It's okay.
[He doesn't want it weighing on Min just because he can't always start a conversation about these things, or avoids it when the opportunity to bring it up happens organically.]
