Certainly there are people closer to Natsuo even more concerned and once it's confirmed that he's alive, that they have more than enough people to assist him, Jae-ha doesn't approach.
He does pay a visit the next day though, knocking on the door to Natsuo's room. He's brought a tray of food, apparently, having made something simple in the kitchen.]
[ He is on the floor... But seeing the food, pain and all that evaporates immediately and he scrambles to his feel— literally scrambles; the sheets are a mess. ]/small>
It's okay! I won't tell on you!!
[ he can't turn back time. the wound's reopened. ]
[thank god for jae-ha being a tall giant for once because he's going to pick up the food that he brought and lift it up in his hand, then carrying it over back to bed]
[ Natsuo flinches at the touch and tries to pull back— he gets it, right? That habit so obvious, that it had to be spelled out on the tapestries: the head pats that always made Mafuyu smile and glow with warmth, he can never enjoy for being for being afraid he'd be exposed. He can't. He'll do anything to keep that from happening. ]

Awake?
no subject
He doesn't immediately recognize the voice, but there's a brief pause before an answer comes ]
—coming! I'm just- [ thump- thump- THUMP--
the sound of somebody stumbling, and the subsequent fall. Somebody tried to get out of bed without throwing the covers off first. ]
no subject
jae-ha is just. going to open the door then, because he sure did hear that. is natsuo on the floor. dear god.
he closes the door behind him and sets the food aside before going to just. pick him up right off the floor]
You know if you reopen your wound, I'll be in so very, very much trouble.
no subject
It's okay! I won't tell on you!!
[ he can't turn back time. the wound's reopened. ]
no subject
- let's just get you back to bed, alright? And then we can deal with the rest.
[LAY BACK DOWN, DON'T MAKE IT WORSE]
I can imagine it hurt quite a bit.
no subject
[ And there's food over there, just out of reach, so there's no going to bed for him; he's stalking right over there. ]
no subject
It might be boring, but it's good for you.
no subject
Vegetables are good for you but I can still hate 'em.
no subject
[Now, since he's still holding the plate - ]
I've never met a girl quite as stubborn as you - and that's saying something.
no subject
GO DIE.
no subject
he's not letting it go]
.... and I've never met one who said that to me either.
Flustered?
no subject
I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU SO YOU CAN'T TELL!
no subject
[here lies jae-ha
murdered for being a dumbass]
I won't tell - you don't have to worry about that.
no subject
Swear on it. We're doing a blood oath.
no subject
[nothing will actually happen
he also just
doesn't want to fucking bleed, natsuo]
no subject
[ it's not just bleeding, it's something gross like rubbing spit into it ]
no subject
Let's not and say we did!
no subject
no subject
What do you mean I'm not beautiful?!
no subject
no subject
but natsuo says it with such conviction he sincerely wonders if beautiful people should just accept blood oaths
anyway:]
I will take it seriously, even if I don't see why your life is on the line.
Shall I swear on my Captain's memory?
no subject
He feels a little like crying. ]
No... Don't you have a dead cat or somebody else's memory you can swear on?
no subject
Jae-ha sighs and reaches out to place his free hand to the top of Natsuo's head.]
I don't, actually.
But this is important to you, and I'd rather swear my word on the Captain that I chose, rather than the blood I don't even want.
So consider your secret safe, alright?
no subject
That's my life, so you'd better.
no subject
I will, I will.
Now get back into bed and have something to eat. It sounds like you've been through quite a lot.
