[...you know what.]

Consider my curiosity on the matter satisfied for now, thank you. [they seem to genuinely mean the thanks.]

[malewife]

I will be accepting payment.

[ Looking at the contract is ENTITLED to him, so he wants another thing. ]

Your story, if it doesn't breach your contract. Simplify it if you must.

[guestservices]

It's hardly as interesting as yours...[just to put that out there.] There isn't much I can say as of now, I'm afraid. But if you must know I suppose you could say that I've lived a very tumultuous life that I am still rectifying.

[malewife]

... Everyone, no matter their situation, is trying to survive. Some the apocalypse. Some others the weight of everyday life.

[ Which means Joonghyuk doesn't care if it's interesting or not. ]

A tumultuous life made by your own hands? Or events beyond your control.

[guestservices]

...sometimes surviving is the greatest struggle. [so they can at least see the point.]

I believe it was initially events beyond my control, and yet...also by my own hands. Perhaps it's why I went into customer complaints? While problems may not be avoidable, they must be solvable.

[malewife]

It's a way of taking your life back.

[ So he gets it— ]

However, I wouldn't have chosen customer complaints.

[guestservices]

Consider it both a method of growth and a method of punishment. [they seem...almost amused by that.]

[malewife]

You're a masochist.

[ seriously. genuinely. with so much confidence and conviction. so much KNOWING for some reason like THIS IS FACT WRITTEN in the BOOK OF LIFE itself. ]

[guestservices]

You would not be the first to call me such. [...] Do you believe in atonement?

[malewife]

... You know my answer will be largely influenced by my experience.

[ and his apocalyptic redo universe ]

[guestservices]

I don't care. Your answer, regardless.

[they are interested.]

[malewife]

... The act of atonement really only means something to the person who has done wrong. Those wronged don't need to accept it. In its own way, it is selfish despite good intentions.

[ ... ]

I don't think it's bad.

[guestservices]

[there's a nod.]

I suppose in a sense you may call me selfish as well as masochistic then.

[malewife]

[ ............................. ]

You seem almost proud.

[guestservices]

I don't know if I would consider it pride. Think of it more as having a reason at all to do my job as I do.
