“Bold answer.” He added “I like how direct it is, but so many others have been in your place and now you’re there, so if they weren’t worth it but still went through what you’re going through, I guess no system is fool proof. Human error is the most common of all; we all make mistakes.” He adds as he goes through a couple of papers with Suga’s name on them “I just like to make sure I don’t do them.” He finished, looking up at the other.
Woobin didn’t like what he was looking at. Bad start, he thinks, Suga doesn’t strike him as something fantastic from the get go. Besides, he knows too little about him and that is a minus as well, especially for someone as (important and careful) as Woobin. Trust is a word that is out of his dictionary and whenever he adds the concept to someone, it’s because they’ve proven themselves over and over again. Or whenever their voices or their breathing doesn’t give them away at all. Right now, he is dying to ask Suga why he is so nervous while talking about the formal aspects, but not so much while he plays the undercover sarcasm - and he does it well, Woobin has to give it to him.
His heartbeat is increasing; he can hear it well enough and he is still at least two meters away from him.
“No need to be nervous. Not more than necessary anyway. You’re probably starting to sweat and your suit doesn’t deserve that. I mean, you just bought it after all.” He makes sure to add the remark since he wants to make sure the younger knows that he knows because he takes notice of details. The well-tailored suit looks too new on the man, too perfectly fit even if he can tell it’s “affordable” - not to say cheap - because it’s not as bad as that and because Suga made the effort. Bonus points there.
The tie’s knot is slightly crooked; not entirely symetrical (as in not perfect) which tells him that ties are not things that the other is used to wear. To him, the suit is like a second skin by now, but he can tell when a kid is not completely comfortable in it - he was that kid once as well.
“I’ll accept your apologies, but let me tell you something that you’ll keep with you for life, kid, it doesn’t matter where you come from or if you’ve never been to a fancy place or hired into such an important company. Manners are the one thing that stay with you no matter where you go. That and character; join the both of them and you can be a bum, but people will think of you as a gentleman. Be rude and they’ll notice you; be well-mannered and they’ll respect you.”
Moral lessons were definitely not his thing - not when it came to newbies after all, but if there was something that was undeniable, was Woobin’s sense for teaching valuable lessons whether they required brute strength or simple, but wise words.
“Anyway, Suga sucks, I’m sorry. I’m not calling my bodyguard ‘suga’, that just is not happening, so I’ll call you Min. Or Park or Kim… or you can pick a new name for you. One that sounds a little less ‘I’m a former gangster who had his own crew and occasionally steals the kid’s lunch money and walks around in baggy pants and beanies with english words I cannot understand’. Nothing against that kind of fashion, mind you, but you get my point.”
“As for your next question,” He started, putting down his pen and motioning for the other to sit on the chair across from him “I don’t think I have to because you’re already trembling. You’re doing a great job masking it though, I like that, but your voice has been getting off pitch every now and then, cracking here and there, but no worries, I’m just good at catching those, so you’d probably get away with it if you were with someone else. Anxiety makes people do that. Other kinds of emotions too.” He points out, carrying on “But you’ll have to be tested, of course. I assume you’ve done the medical exams already? If not, I’ll call our doctor and you’ll do them. Proceedure, you know? Need to know if the person is healthy. And then you’ll have your physical test so we can check your fighting ability and how you react to pressure.” He mentioned, nodding at the other and then placing a couple of sheets of paper in front of him.
“That right there, is your agreement and consent when it comes to the medical tests, physical ones, duty regulations and basically you telling me that yes, you agree to put your life on the line and all that nonsense. That applies to the tests period as well.” He adds “Oh and I’ll be conducting your physical test. Hope you’re up to the task.”
