[ when vie leaves the room, jaejin gives himself a moment to drops his head into his hands and take a few breaths. he can't say he doesn't know how it's gotten to this point, not when he's had a front row seat and an active role in it. months ago, he should have left with vie. it would have saved them a lot of pain, maybe. then again, who knows if yves would have gotten hurt in the process. if vie can't live with that possibility, neither can he.
there are more papers on the table once vie returns, ones from before that jaejin has pulled out to review with the information he's gained from only vie's appearance. he looks up from them to look at him, his phone now face down and unnecessary now that he's home. something in his expression softens at the sight of him and that question, but his smile doesn't quite reach his eyes. ]
Earlier. [ not entirely untrue. he'd eaten breakfast, but has kept himself busy since. he reaches across the table, palm up as an offering, keeping his eyes on vie. ] Are you hungry? I could make you something light.
[ asking him how he's feeling wouldn't do either of them any good. he knows vie isn't okay. ]
