Not really. I just figured, middle of the week, could use something to have fun with.

[ ... Hm. ] Which power-wise I don't have a lot of so that was the most harmless.

[ Wait the rameel curse why are they discussing this NOW. AND NOT MONDAY. Oh my God. Dokja blinks over. ]

Wait, that? And not the cane? Who did you have them fall in love with?

[ closes my fucking eyes. ]

[malewife]

[ NO IT WILL BE TODAY. SINCE THEY ARE ON THIS TOPIC. He's done with the song and gets off the DDR machine, more focused on his own weariness. ]

Me.

1/?

[ ...? ]

[ Huh???? ]

done

[afterword]

Are you an idiot?

[malewife]

[ Excuse me??? ]

It worked and I was cured pretty quickly after he accepted his item.

[afterword]

Why on yourself? And why the love power? You could've just used the cane!

[ He's so. Exasperated about this. For some reason. He's really questioning Joonghyuk's intelligence here. ]

[malewife]

The cane is more useful than the love power. I would rather hold onto it.

[ He's Questioning YOUR intelligence?! ]

[afterword]

[ ...Hm. Actually, he makes a point but. ]

You didn't need to target yourself though. [ Anyways. ] Couldn't you have asked Satariel to force him to take it if he didn't want to?

[malewife]

I prefer to see things done before my very eyes. [ ... ] Rameel could lie and then I would need to hunt down Satariel to see if he's lying.

[ Mm. ]

Also, I was a good target since being in love with someone doesn't change how I am or act.

[ why did dokja bring it up twice— ]

Are you jealous?

[afterword]

N-- [ His mouth immediately closes, face scrunching a bit as if he's having great difficulty trying to say what he wants to say.

Or, you know, he can't say what he wants to say.

Um. ]

I... just think you could have handled that some other way.

[malewife]

You’re jealous.

[ Dokja doesn’t need to say it. It’s worse that he can’t defend himself. ]

[afterword]

[ Is Joonghyuk having fun with Dokja not actually responding right away and trying to choose his words carefully? ]

What I am doesn't matter. [ nailed it. ]

[malewife]

... I'm not interested in Rameel and we didn't do anything. As I said, I don't act so different or so embarrassing under those conditions.

You truly are worried for no reason.

[afterword]

[ ... ]

It's not that I'm worried about you.

[ A quiet huff, moving! On! He's going to go check out the rest of the arcade before he says anything else. ]

[malewife]

Is that so.

[ He catches up to him and gives him a small peck on the cheek? ]

Did you want to win a toy for Sheba?

[afterword]

[ Yes, it is so! ..Okay, that's cheating. Who says you're allowed to do that?? His face just gets redder. ]

Cheeky... [ Mumbling. But he still looks at him with some affection even if he's huffy. His heart is going through so many emotions today. ]

..Maybe. She might like a gift from this place.

[malewife]

[ Niah's tail wags a bit because apparently Joonghyuk does think it's amusing to watch Dokja like this. ]

Choose and I'll win it.

[ No buts? Joonghyuk is the Korean King of Games, apparently. ]

[afterword]

[ Dokja will ignore the fact that Niah is representing some of Joonghyuk's mood and just pet him. He's a good boy. ]

Hmmmm. [ Looks at the various crane machines and just points at this. ] There's a lot of other dolls piled with it though. Are you sure?

[ Never doubt top gamer yoo joonghyuk. ]

[malewife]

There are, so I would need to win all of the dolls in the way or move them aside.

[ Which is fine? He thinks he can get each doll with every attempt, or at least 2 attempts per doll.

Anyway.

Watch!! I will be kind to this arcade and say 50% of the dolls in the way of this one does need a second attempt, but that's still such a higher rate of success than the norm. ]

[afterword]

Huh..

[ The gamer experience coming in... But hey, he's watching! Yoo "Crane Machine Legend" Joonghyuk. ]

[malewife]

[ Dokja has

to unfortunately hold all the toys. ]

[afterword]

[ ... ]

Isn't this too much? Where am I going to put all of these?

[malewife]

Our room has enough space?

[ There, he got the toy. ]
