That isn’t your bed.

[ But he joins, anyway. ]

[afterword]

[ muffled: ] Technically, no. Right now, yes.

[ when Joonghyuk joins him in bed, the reader will resort to being obnoxious and pull his companion to him. On one hand, there's some relief that at least they're both unlikely to be on another adventure this week.

..On the other, tomorrow is still Thursday. ]

[malewife]

[ DEATH DAY DEATH DAY!! Joonghyuk grumbles as he's being pulled, but Dokja really is just pulling himself closer to Joonghyuk. Twink arms cannot wORK. ]

You can't just claim someone else's bed.

[ i said i would give you shitposty memories and here is the Journey to the West one.

You and your companions are preparing for < Emperor >'s scenario, which is a rewrite of its most famous fable: Journey to the West. While morale has been low after losing Kim Dokja, your companions try to look forward. They try to focus on the fact the Kim Dokja is not dead (maybe, you all do not know), but instead kidnapped (that's better, right).

Speaking of kidnapped, this reminds you that Lee Sookyung, Kim Dokja's own mother, didn't seem concerned when you spoke to her about the events that transpired when that fool summoned the Indescribably Distance to combat the Apocalypse dragon.

... Should you really not worry? Your thoughts wonder as Han Sooyoung lays down the plot of her rendition on the old tale. She starts casting your companions. Most importantly, the two kids will play Tang Sanzang together, then you will play Zhu Bajie.

This is fine, you thought, though you shoot her a look wondering if choosing you to be the pig is a spite cast. If anything, this... Becomes worse.

"Okay, so. You're going to play Zhu Bajie, but you're going to wear a half-open black vest and tight black jeans."

...

"Because the women of the village will fall for you, so this will start off our first small conflict for our to-be Sun Wukong. You're only good for your looks, anyway. Unless you have some acting skills?"

Everyone looks to you, curious.

"Don't worry, master! Seduce them," your disciple, Lee Jihye, gives you an unnecessary thumbs up.

You have nothing to say, but you're... Tired. Dealing with all of them is tiring, but you know they are trying their best to forget the pain that throbs underneath from loss.

He frowns cause he did end up wearing the outfit Sooyoung gave you. ]

[afterword]

[ Shut up, his arms are putting in work. At least until they're laying comfortably in bed. ]

We're sharing.

[ and then the memory happens.

...

just plops his face into Joonghyuk's shoulder. he's shaking a little. ...yeah he's just laughing. ]

R-Right... that outfit.

[malewife]

[ he just wants to die ]

[afterword]

[ stop, he will only laugh more. ]

It isn't as if it was a bad look on you.

[ how can someone complain when you look as good as yjh. he is not saying this, he is not thinking this. but the idea is there. ]

[malewife]

That does not mean I wish to be flaunted off.

[ Fucking weird. ]

[afterword]

[ runs his fingers gently through Joonghyuk's hair. ]

There, there. No open black vests or nun outfits to haunt you here. ..Sorta.

[ Han Sooyoung can't force you to show off your titties here. ]

[malewife]

I hated the nun outfit.

[ HE'S MAD AGAIN. ]

[afterword]

[ only yjh would get mad while in bed ]

You weren't the only one. [ light pap pap to his cheek. ]

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk can get mad anywhere and anytime. It is a special ability. ]

You did look awful in a costume.

[afterword]

See, you could've not said anything about it, but you did.

[ he didn't even do anything. ]

[malewife]

It's an observation.

[ Not really an insult??? ]

[afterword]

I didn't ask for it.

[ tch ]

[malewife]

I don't need your permission to make an observation.

[ humph. ]

[afterword]

[ pinches his cheek and pulls lightly at it ]

One out of ten rating for a companion.

[malewife]

[ Swats at. ]

You would be a zero out of ten for a companion. [ ... ] You did not show up to my booth today.

[afterword]

After everything I've done for you? I deserve more. [ it's said in a tease though. not at all seriously. ]

Of course not. [ he did not want to be called out in public. again. ]

[malewife]

So you were being a coward.

[ Escaping his ASSIGNMENT ]

Like what?

[afterword]

[ a hum, what indeed. bumps their foreheads together, squinting a little. ]

I wasn't being a coward. Just didn't expect it to be any different from the last time you did that booth.

[malewife]

I was and am right.

[ No one said you weren't? ]

Power being the authority of many things.

[ the chasma booths ]

[afterword]

Go to sleep already.

[ HE IS NOT ARGUING WITH YOU ABOUT BEARS AND TWUNKS. ]

[malewife]

I'll sleep fine. You go to bed.

[afterword]

I'll sleep when you do.

[malewife]

You said you learned how to sleep better where you came from.

So you will sleep first.
