jinwoo’s eyes are wide as he watches the man from yesterday come marching over to him with a clear look of determination on his face. he barely manages to keep himself from bolting, hopeful that a coworker will come back from their break to save him from his impending doom.
he flinches back slightly, putting more room between the man, the desk and himself.
“I have a few questions…”
he internally screams. he doesn’t want to answer any questions, there shouldn’t be any questions, he did such a good job at masking his power, calming the man down like any other person would in that situation. there should be no need for questions.
hesitantly, he smiles, cursing professionalism. “i’d be happy to help answer any of your questions pertaining to the library, how may i help you?” he squints his eyes slightly, staring the man down, almost daring him to say anything else.
i do him a favour yesterday and he repays me by backing me in a corner like this? the nerve of some people.
his brows furrow as he watches the other, visibly uncomfortable by his presence. then again, when a person marches up to you with obvious ill-intent (though he wouldn't call his curiosity that, but more often than not he's told most of his intent screams 'ill'), it's no surprise that he would be regarded with such a demeanour.
he huffs in response, waving his hand dismissively at the other's attempt to dissuade him into anything unrelated to the library and his work. "then i'd like to ask," he starts, lips pursed as he moved to motion for the boy to follow him, pointing towards the biology section of the library before he begins questioning him. his questions, he knows, would put the both of them under fire if he's not careful. and he's made it a point to be the epitome of the word.
he leans back, eying the boy and waiting for him to follow, mouthing 'i have questions' as he pointed towards the shelf lined with books. if he wanted a question pertaining to the library, he'll give him a question pertaining to the library.
“so”, he starts as soon as he deems the other close enough to hear, voice hushed, “does the library hire mutants or are you a special case?”
