Summary
"If you didn't want to be a Jaeger pilot, why are you here?"
Doyoung scoffs, stabs his fork into the stiff mountain of mashed potatoes on his tray. "You know why."
Johnny raises an eyebrow, his own potatoes untouched. "That you're in love with Taeyong?"
"What? No." The other recruit throws back the remaining orange juice in his cup, grimaces like he's just taken a particularly strong vodka shot. "It's because he can't fucking take care of himself. The try-outs, the training, all of it was tough, I'm not exactly athletic. But I can't sit by and let my best friend's mom worry herself to death while he rolls into bed recklessly with his Drift-compatible co-pilot, can I?"
The last sentence drops Johnny's heart into the pit of his stomach, lead settling cold as bile rises in his throat at the reminder. Doyoung watches him, eyes sharp under his unruly fringe, discerning and unsympathetic all at once.
"You, on the other hand, need to stop making your feelings for Ten so fucking obvious."
