❛ come pixar with me

It’s more of a reflex than anything, when Soojung also freezes when Jitae does the same. Her body simply locks up, shoulders tense and eyes narrow just the slightly bit while she sticks up her nose a little higher, like quietly daring Jitae to say something about her suddenly proposal of watching a movie together and how it’s unusual since the handler is always the one who is coming up with ideas and proposing things for them to do together — most of them, completely insane and if asked Soojung would say that she only agreed because she wanted to make sure Jitae wouldn’t do something stupid like dying because he just might as well by the end of the night — and Soojung is the one who has to be talked into going along with whatever he has in mind for them that day.
( And also she can feel a hug coming and she just isn’t ready for that sort of contact when they aren’t in a mission and it’s part of the job. Thank god in the end it never comes )
However, her body changes when Jitae shows displays of disappointment ( she knows he isn’t serious about it but she still wasn’t expecting it ) because it takes her so much of surprise that her body simply relaxes while she blinks at the handler and she’s just even more confused when Jitae shakes a hand on her face — one centimeter closer and Soojung would’ve swatted it away — and there’s a scoff ready to form on her face but in the end it never really happens because Soojung is sighing. Only Jitae to care about those details. It’s a little endearing and in the end, she does appreciate it because for one she never really had the type of childhood to enjoy much of disney movies or any sort of cartoon besides of course some exceptions here and there, and two she’s also the type to want to watch everything, then she’s going to do in the right away.
( Not like she’s admitting any of that for Jitae anyway ).
”If it happened first then it’s a prequel, no matter when it was released.” Soojung ends up helping Jitae a little with his rambling like a mom confirming that, yes, her child is right and there’s no need to dwell in the subject.
“Today is actually indeed ideal.” She agrees easily. “My place or yours?”
“you make things so simple,” he agrees, ever grateful for soojung’s characteristic bluntness. the lack of niceties is refreshing, honestly, now that he knows she doesn’t mean deeper anything by it. “okay, so. prequel first.”
soojung’s place is much, much nicer than his, so he’s inclined to suggest hers. on second thought though, he knows for sure that he’s got both movies downloaded, korean subtitles and all. jitae thinks back to remember if he already made any plans for today but comes up blank. “great, today’s perfect for me too,” he says, smiling as he reaches for her arm.
his hand gently grips her elbow like she won’t try to shrug him off and break his wrist for the treason, and he pulls her alongside him to walk toward the lobby. “let’s go to mine since i already have the movie, and i can give you a ride if you didn’t drive? i can give you a ride home afterward too.”
he gets to keep both hands because he arguably needs them to drive them safely.
they eventually make it back to his apartment alive and in one piece. jitae beckons soojung in, opening the door and waving his arm with flourish. “welcome to my humble abode,” he declares, and follows her in to flick on some lights and toss his wallet and keys onto the kitchen counter. after gesturing at the couch, he offers, “go ahead, make yourself at home. do you want anything to drink? i got… uh, water, tea, soda, banana milk. beer and soju too.”
