[Sunny could confidently claim that he, for all his faults, he was a good listener and observant. Several of his friends constantly liked to remind him of that fact.
And the idea that he might be helpful, even here, mixed some foreign feeling with the embarrassment.
He didn’t smile - Sunny rarely did - but his happiness could be seen in other ways: his sole eye lighting up at the compliment, even as his ears burned again; his posture unfurling a bit, less on guard.
They made it back to the main tunnel, which could lead out towards the city again. Sunny looked in the opposite direction, down a long dark corridor. He hadn’t explored in that direction… yet.
Some part of him still wanted to try. That part that always fought against his own fear. But… maybe the close call with the wraiths so far had been enough.
If Soo Won looked at Sunny’s map, there would be a long hallway, then a blank expanse, proving this fact. Maybe someone else had gone down there, but Sunny didn’t know that.]
