TO GET HER HANDS ON interesting information isn’t an easy job nor has it anything to do with the way countless of movies like to paint it’s hard to always keep an eye open, to dig around in the dirt to get a bit of something she can use later on. it’s a cutthroat business, one she sometimes wishes she could leave behind she should’ve listened to her father and become a teacher.
not that she has really that much of a choice left now. “that’s such a negative way of putting things, kae. wouldn’t you prefer to think that he does his job well?”
it’s not like sieun hasn’t expected for him to catch up on her little quirks and acts: they’ve encountered one another often enough to be aware of each other’s existence and occupations but that doesn’t make her job any easier. if anything, it adds to her workload given kae’s position. so she raises her head to meet his gaze with an emotionless expression, daring him to keep on distracting her more if he wants both of them to lose their jobs.
“let me suggest this: you tell me who you’re working for this time and i’ll see if i can give you something in return.” information, she means. it’s crucial for a person to know who they’re working for, lest they get mixed up in some shady business.
not that she thinks kae particularly cares, but she somehow has to get his attention. “deal?”
the job is as boring as it is testing. pulling at the grey areas in his mind to see what he’ll choose. a paycheck over what’s right and wrong.
he’s met many people like her, and the amount of people like her determines the importance of the case. so far he’s escorted out three and thrown out two. they’re doing his job and he’s doing his, it’s a dichotomy that exist only to push and push.
he’s got a few things to get used to these days. using minimal force, people calling him kae, and training hiro. he has to be a professional as he is acceptable for this job to work and as it stands it’s become increasingly difficult not to reach for his pocket. he doesn’t though, he reaches down and pets hiro’s head, scratching at the part of his ear that tells him to calm down. and so he does, and so kae returns his attention to sieun.
his last job was too uptight, shows in his movements so forcing a smile is probably better than not. relaxing is the only option.
“his job, is to sniff out troublemakers, so if you’re on that list, it’s a problem.” a problem that he thinks he’s allowed. but it’s also a problem of tenacity, kae being too tired for the push he’s supposed to give back. so really it’s not much of a problem as it is an overhaul. much like the information she’s asking for.
“you came all the way in here without knowing who or what you were looking for? sounds like a bad trade.” he’s supposed to know things like this, details behind who he’s guarding and what they’re holding. half the time he can’t be made to bother, sometimes sieun makes him want to.
“so how about you tell me who you managed to sneak by so they can get fired and then we leave before my guy sees you.”
