[ He feels sorry for Jaekwan for having to play spectator to this train wreck, but Soleum's situation is like being a dispatcher — he's in correspondence with the conductor, can see a monstrosity speeding to trouble, offer to reroute them, but he's ultimately not the one behind the control panel. ]
If they were on better terms, I could understand matching.
[ Still. The primary job of a junior agent is basically damage control. He arches his frames toward the fluorescent ceiling panels, checking if the lenses are rid of smudges or if he needs to go back in. ]
[Ah. He's thinking about this so seriously. In Agent Choi's opinion, this is all a gamut to lure our a specter who is kidnapping young men with glasses, and this whole cheating couple thing leading up to it is simply another case of Agent Grapes going above and beyond the call of duty that he's all too happy to assist with. Exactly why he was so adamant he stay in their team, for one thing. But he's also his senior and should give his honest opinion on this, so he hums as he considers Soleum's words seriously in turn.]
That's true, isn't it? That a feuding couple wouldn't try to match. But there's something to be said about seeing the forest for the trees, too. For example...
[He hears Jaekwan audibly sigh. Are you guys really arguing about this? seems to be the meaning behind the noise.]
If you're watching a drama, you can tell which characters are together based on the framing and the dialog, but there's more to it - like the costumes or their personal styles. So sometimes it's good to have them look similar or matching to let the viewer know they're supposed to be together. Right?
[He needs to argue this, he'll explain to Bronze later. Because can he imagine their Grapes willingly putting this outfit on for any other reason? No, they need to think about this in terms of rescue but also in terms of workplace well-being.]
Plus, you're the one who said we should use specific nicknames, given that codenames would be unwieldy in this situation. Wouldn't this outfit only strengthen the appearance of our partnership even more?
[Some would call him pushy, but Choi rejects that. He's just thinking about the whole forest!]
If I called you kitten in the middle of things and you were wearing a fuzzy sweater instead of the white one, the scene wouldn't be as impactful, would it?
