it's the same as always... the hours are so long, but it's worth it for your happiness ᕙ(- ‸- ‶)ᕗ
this year for sure we will take that jeju trip
I forgot my lunch again didn't I? so I had some ramyun from the convenience store... none of it matches up to your cooking (╥_╥)

[That's a little flare from his actual, real life!]

it would be no good if you saw me haggard and tired in hongdae tonight so go to sleep early and get your beauty rest loml (´•ᴗ•`)

[...Does Soleum want to see him haggard and tired? Should he come in with mussed up hair and pit stains one day?]

[Wait, no. This is make believe. They're playing house.]

but my dear, you're so beautiful that I feel I have to look my best when I'm in your presence (ಥ◡ಥ)
it's the least I can do as a man who has to take late night business meetings in a place like hongdae
aigoo... all this love for a man who still hasn't given you a family

[Maybe the ghost will read these messages and refuse to interact with either of them.]

without you I wouldn't have the strength to attend these kinds of things. you do so much for me! I would never dream of letting you see me at such low moments
but I'll bring home a sweet treat if you insist on staying up~ if you don't fall asleep first! (´ω`)
sunbae: (I gave you so much and yet)

[Hoo, boy. If he was actually cheating on him, this kind of guiilt trip would actually make him back out of it.]

Grapes, your future partner should look out... you really know how to lay it on thick LOL
I trust you can play that role very well!

[It seems like Soleum might actually divorce him if he keeps going with this, so he may as well drop it now before he goes through with finding someone else to play bait instead.]

what do you think? can I play a scumbag salaryman cheating on his poor innocent wife? ^^
sunbae: (I don't like that wishy-washy style)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-01 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
the baby line was in character!
you didn't see that drama a couple years back? aigoo the husband was evil. he always promised to fulfil her dreams of being a mother until her childhood friend revealed she funded his vasectomy in china the year before...
the twists were crazy! even Bronze-ie was following it!!

[See, he wasn't purposefully trying to throw Soleum off or anything. Totally just playing up the role he was assigned!]

but I won't scare you like that in real life ^^ oh but I'll get you something sweet when it's all over, promise!
sunbae: (love me love me onomatopoeia)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-02 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
be careful, you won't be able to sleep if you start watching!

[He thinks Soleum has mentioned leaving the TV on while he sleeps before... Such a funny little quirk about him that definitely doesn't mean anything deeper.]

you love to deny me don't you ^^
what's wrong with a sunbae getting treats for his hubae?
of course I'll put effort into this, it's for the sake of a civilian, isn't it?

[Yep, that's the singular, sole reason. He's not having fun with it at all.]

hmm
if it wasn't time sensitive, I'd suggest we watch that drama together for some pointers...
maybe next time, if you don't end up destroying it

[Oh, so they're moving from sexting to phone sex - Wait, hold on, this is still work-related.]

thats true, I have to sound convincing out loud, right?
I'll call!
sunbae: (Why are you oh so kind?)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-04 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Choi clears his throat, straightens up, then hits call. Once Soleum answers, he jumps right back into it.]

Aigoo, my love... [He's speaking like he's out of breath, voice heavy and full of effort, but a little whiny as he begs, too.] You'll let me come home tonight, won't you? If I had any secrets, you know I could never keep them from you.

[He sighs, shuddering a little with it like it's a lot of effort to do. Like he's just so physically beat.] This job is hard, but you know I'll be promoted once my boss finally leaves next year. You'll be patient for me until then, right? Then things will be so much easier for the two of us...

[When he first speaks, Choi can't deny it - there's a brief spark of worry that bursts through him, a feeling that he's toed the line too close and is now getting pushed right back over it. But then it keeps going, his annoyance an act and yet so real he can't help but wonder what it'll take to hear this tone from him for real.]

No, no! [He even interrupts his accusation the moment it's put down, as if this is a dance they've done dozens of times before.] I haven't even left yet. I'm still at the office. Don't you hear it? Taka-taka-taka... [He even mimes typing on a keyboard, even though Soleum can't see him.]

I know I've pushed you with my late nights. But this weekend I'll be home all day and we can do whatever you like together. What should we do? We could go to Gangnam, I can treat you to a nice dinner...
sunbae: (I don't like that wishy-washy style)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-05 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Is he sighing in annoyance? Or maybe trying not to laugh? He can't tell. It's really difficult when most of your skills for observation are based on sight, isn't it? He needs to train his ears more.]

I'll even turn off my work phone...! [He thinks some people have separate work phones. That's a salaryman thing, right?] I'll fold the laundry with you, and do the dishes, and I'll even clean up the patio since the weather's getting nicer so you can spend time out there again... Oh, I'll fix the light, too, of course, your husband is capable enough for something like that~

[The idea of any of this is so alien to him, it's funny to imagine. Coming home to someone, doing domestic things, sharing a bed together... What in the world must that be like?]

I know a good seafood place there. Oh, it was recommended by my boss' boss, so it must be good. They have the freshest mussels, and the way they marinate their crab makes it so soft, it falls right out of the shell. [Suddenly, like a stage whisper:] Grapes, I actually know about a restaurant like that!

[And then back to it.]

So... You can look forward to that, and I can earn my forgiveness for coming late tonight, ight?
sunbae: (Just imagine it)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-08 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe he's getting too into this game. Choi is actually a little anxious when he only hears Soleum hum like that, a flat noise that betrays no emotion. Is he actually disappointed? he wonders automatically before remembering - this is just a game, of course. He won't be taking Soleum out to a nice dinner or folding laundry with him... Fixing his lights or cleaning a shared patio - Right. It's just playing house.]

[But he still sounds so believable when he gives in, forgives the terrible salaryman for his secrets. He can't imagine hearing this tone from Soleum any other time. Annoying him, prodding him, teasing him. If Choi finally fell back and apologized for his behavior, if he caught him on a bad day and had to say he was sorry for swiping his glasses off his nose with his tail tucked between his legs... Would he hear this tone from him for real? Is there any chance he would ever speak so softly to him?]

[Probably not. He sighs with relief into the receiver.]

You're so understanding, it's like you're an angel... I really mean it, I'll give - Oh. [A brief pause, course correction. Yeah, no mentioning pregnancy or whatever.] I'll - make sure the two of us have a weekend where we're together at every moment. I'll even tell my client I'm off on holiday! [Does that work? Imagine not being on call.] Really, I don't deserve a partner so patient as you, Soleum-ah.

[It comes out so naturally, Choi not even bothering to think up a fake name for the charade. Why would he? He might end up screwing up in the middle of things, after all.]

You know, I'm wearing that white jacket you like... [He drops his voice a little, somewhat more flirty.] I'll keep it on until I get home, yeah?
sunbae: (Enough of your bwaa-ha-has)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-09 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[...hm? Why can't he call him that? Isn't that what he always calls him? Why is it embarrassing him... Oh!]

Oh, right, the disaster!

[He kind of forgot they were doing this for a specific reason. He was treating this like a training program.]

Hmm, let me think... Maybe I should stay with darling? Is that old fashioned? Do kids nowadays say sweetie? Mm, what about L-O-M-L? Did that sound realistic before?

[Good thing they have a youngster. They won't sound out of place during this investigation. Not one bit.]

What do you want me to call you, Grapes?

sunbae: (Get lost in the idea of it)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-10 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Love of my life!

[Come on, Soleum, you gotta keep up with the anonymous group chats. There's so much slang to learn and hip new phrases that can be put to use!]

It's a mouthful said all out like that... But I think I might end up laughing if you called me oppa. [He's even laughing a little just saying that. Even though he's been referring to Soleum as his wife for, like, an hour at this point.] Something that reminds me of Grapes... Let me think.

[Grapes remind him of Grapes, of course. Grape-ade, that little rabbit plush... He wears glasses, but that's usually an insult when turned into a nickname. He's cat-like in some ways, too, huh? Calling someone a cat isn't insulting, is it?]

Kitten?
sunbae: (love-me love-me onomatopoeia)

[personal profile] sunbae 2025-10-10 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
You know, kitten! Guys of your generation say that, right?

[The total silence and the shocked tone is enough to make it hard to hide his snickers as Choi tries to explain this away as totally, definitely, absolutely normal.]

Or would kitty be better? You know you're a little cat-like, right? Sometimes I think when you're blinking slowly that you're trying to tell me you like me!

[He's not going to get any slow blinks for awhile after this, is he.]
