[Hyunsu as he is now could almost laugh. In fact he does a little bit, a dry huff of hair as his eyebrows go up.]
Do you know Cha Hyunsu at all?
[Because of course he wasn't there to comfort her. He hovered around the edges of her life to protect her while also actively avoiding doing things like actually speaking to her. This Hyunsu finds the whole thing frustrating and pathetic, really.]
I know enough. He would've done what he could, he's too chickenshit to not try.
[ that's what matters, anyway. that hyunsu shows up when he himself can't, because he's made choices that keep hurting eunyu and he doesn't feel all that bad about it so long as she's safe.
hyunsu understood that. eunhyuk has to believe he did, because it's not like he can undo death, much as he wants to. ]

Am I wrong?

And Eunhyuk being right on any level is always a little irritating just on principle.]
He protected her. Is that the same as comfort?

[ it'd have been enough for him, if he were in hyunsu's place. life is hard. we don't always get what we want. ]

You're an idiot. You both are.
[Both in this case being Eunhyuk and the human part of Hyunsu, which he currently prefers to see as something separate and more stupid than himself.]
Always hovering around the edges of what you want, but never asking for it.
