[ Asking Dokja not to do anything unnecessary is like asking him not to breathe. He's sure to find his way into trouble eventually. It's practically ingrained in him at this point.
While the heaviness doesn't leave his heart, he does pull it together enough to manage a smile. It's not every day he gets to hear Joonghyuk worry over him, as needless as the concern is. ]

[ His tone is lightly teasing, a bit of shaky awkwardness accentuating the ends of his words which is a noticeable difference compared to the Dokja from before. He'll force his old habits back into place if he has to.
And he has to. ]
It'll be fine, [ he assures once more. There's a hesitant pause for a moment, his voice growing quieter with the next words. ] After all, you're here.
