[Min-Gi doesn't know what to say at first. He'd meant to show understanding, not make this about him and his feelings. He's fine, while Ryan is clearly not. It's also alarming to realise even though they've hashed out the differences they've had in the past, they maybe still don't understand each other as well as they thought. He'd been starting to get the feeling that maybe that was the case from what Ryan had been saying just now, but this is undeniable confirmation that maybe that kind of response to something scary isn't as normal as he'd thought. Which is weird, because he's seen Ryan shut down completely before now. How does that feel, if not the way Min so often does?
But this isn't about him. He shakes off the rising dread. This isn't about him. He can think about this later, when Ryan's back to his usual self.]
No. It's fine now. Sometimes I start to get worried, but you're there for me. You notice, and it barely ever gets to the point where it's too much.
I just... I thought you knew. I thought it was the same for everyone and you were just better at getting yourself back out of that space.
[Apparently not, which explains why he's been acting so strangely all day. He tugs Ryan's hands close to himself, so he can try and get back on track and start trying to comfort Ryan again.]
Sorry I kept trying to get away from you. I knew something was wrong, but I had no idea you were feeling like that.
[Maybe because his impulse is to do the opposite when he starts to feel like everything's too much. It always feels easier to isolate himself. To get away from everything. It isn't good for him, but being alone always feels easier in the moment.]
