[Ryan smiles softly, and he leans to gently bump his shoulder against Min's. He doesn't have the words, but it's nice to have someone in his corner like this. In darker moments he worries about fucking up and losing Min-Gi in the process, but Min won't. Having the assurance that Min will always care and that he isn't going anywhere always feels so good. It's one of the single best things Min can do for him.]
Yeah. ...Yeah, you're right. Or at least we should ask more questions up front like, "Hey, is this going to actually going to be a kid's party?".
[He says it like a joke, but he's not entirely joking - they have definitely learned a lesson here the hard way. He can almost hear their metaphorical number wooshing downward.
Weirdly, he's kind of glad they took this gig too. Not because they would have disappointed a kid on his birthday (though he didn't want to do that either) but because they literally might not have had this conversation otherwise. Who knows when it might have come up again?]
But yeah, we don't have to be desperate. [He doesn't have to be desperate anymore, or put himself back in that weird headspace about it.] Especially since we can skate on this weird fifteen seconds of fame for a bit, and it's not like it's even the only source of income we've got.
[He doesn't say what the other one is, because it's entirely Min-Gi's and also not something to bring up at a children's party. But saying they have more than one income source isn't enough of a red flag on its own.]
