[ Dokja isn't risking being told by Joonghyuk not to talk with his mouth full, so he simply nods. A full mouth might still be an understatement, considering how round Dokja's cheeks are, stuffed with delicious food. He's long past the point of pretending that Joonghyuk's food isn't that good. Hopefully, there are no tomatoes in here—if there are, Dokja remains blissfully unaware. ]
Maybe I'll go check on her...?
[ His initial plan involved hoarding the food to himself, but now he feels a little bad. Just a little. ]
[ Dokja will have to figure if there are tomatoes anywhere, but doesnt seem so. Joonghyuk is also eating, politely speaking only after he finished his bite... He isn't squirreling food into his cheeks like he's preparing for winter and does think Dokja looks ridiculous, but there's a swell of pride. It's expected, but still flattering to see people enjoy his food.
Seems this round of chewing doesn't end with any words, just a look like he doesn't think it's worth it, but he isn't going to stop Dokja from checking. Suit yourself, do what you want.
He himself isn't worried (he will pack up her portion to put in the fridge). ]
You would be wasting your time, but do it after you finish eating.
[ If she's unconscious, theres not much they can do. ]
[ While he's munching, Dokja has a passing thought about how much food Joonghyuk's cheeks could fit. They're a set of really nice-looking cheeks, almost as if they were chiseled from marble by an insanely talented sculptor. Perhaps that kind of thought should fluster him in some way, but he doesn't see anything strange about watching Joonghyuk's slightly unfair beauty from across the table. ]
It can't be that bad… she's the most well-adjusted among the three of us.
[ If Sooyoung were here, Dokja wouldn't say it under any circumstances, but it's fine with just him and Joonghyuk. It's not as if she has much competition in the first place, in his opinion. ]
[ Why are you thinking about so specific like his cheeks being stuffed... He has grown used to Dokja staring at him sometimes, finding that the man often times stares at anything and get lost in his thoughts.
His cheeks are stuffed with food while a scowl forms so fierce to what Dokja says. One moment so he doesn't speak with his mouth full. ]
You think she is the most well-adjusted? With her lifestyle?
[ Joonghyuk is almost offended, considering both of them are salarymen. While he would say that Dokja lives a chaotic life, Joonghyuk strove to have a balanced one so that he can be a good role model for Mia. ]
[ Anything, he says, but it's pretty much only Joonghyuk, Sooyoung, and webnovels. Not in that particular order—though maybe Dokja needs to make up for the time Joonghyuk wasn't around, so he's a very close second to the stories. That fierce scowl makes Dokja's focus drift to Joonghyuk's eyebrows for a moment longer, for no reason other than the fact that the curve and thickness are perfect.
In other words, no big deal. ]
How many people have you talked to recently? I, Mia, Sooyoung, and your grandparents don't count. [ Before Joonghyuk can avoid the answer, Dokja adds: ] For me, it's zero...
[ Not that he's proud of it, but honestly, this status quo doesn't bother him either. ]
[ Dokja... Are you going to go through dating apps comparing each person to him? No thoughts on how his face will get wrinkles faster with how often he scowls?
Joonghyuk is starting to wish Dokja went on a yapping session in how the book he's reading is mediocre. You think he would begrudge replying? No. He is always ready to one-up. Watch him drink his black coffee and do it. ]
I have to talk to my team and my manager at work.
[ Joonghyuk also sometimes streams, but he doesn't often directly talk to his chat. Sometimes he answers questions about the game if they show up, but not much else.

It might look like a crime scene in there.

Don't tell her that.
