[The immediacy and intensity of their success had struck Min-Gi as odd from the very beginning. Not that he isn't happy about it, but they'd worked much harder for much less back home even taking advantage of some of Ryan's prior contacts. He doesn't understand how one video from a last minute, barely attended show could get them the amount of attention it has. Every new venue they play he half expects they're about to realise it's all been one big misunderstanding.
So this...
This isn't actually that much of a surprise to him. He's a little offended that the guy apparently thought this was their kind of gig, but not surprised. Not that there's anything wrong with being children's entertainers, of course. That's just not who Chicken Choice Judy are. At this point, though, he feels like they're obligated to take it or else risk ruining some poor six year old's special day. They couldn't do that, right?
Except Ryan seems weirdly quiet. He'd figured out of the two of them Ryan would be the more enthusiastic one, but for a while he hardly says a word. He's not sure how to react at first. It's less frequent than it used to be, but it's usually Ryan who has to pull Min out of his own head before a show. It worries him enough that he does feel as though maybe they should back out after all, even once Ryan starts insisting they play. All throughout their costume change and setup he's ready to pull the plug, but in the end it goes ahead and everything seems to go okay.
He's glad to see Ryan looking like he's having fun, but he hasn't forgotten the expression on his face when they found out just what they were playing. It takes him longer than he'd like to sort out their payment, then he finds himself briefly accosted by excited six year olds when he's acquiring juice boxes. The whole time he's painfully aware of Ryan being off on his own, pretending to eat cake.
By the time he makes it over to him there's obvious concern etched on his face. He doesn't even acknowledge the cake he's kept back for him, save to move it so he can sit next to him. He holds out one of the juice boxes for him to take. If he's not going to eat, he should at least drink something.]
You okay? I've never seen a gig get you down like this.
[He's missing something, but he's no idea what it could be. It leaves him feeling helpless in a way he usually doesn't when it comes to Ryan.]
