[A lot of times, it seems like Agent Grapes is holding down something ferocious. He has an incredible amount of self control, given how much teasing he puts up with, the situations he's been foisted into... Hell, his first official job as part of the bureau had him cutting his damn arm off. Without anyone asking! He must have an amazing degree of self restraint. It's impressive, and exactly what you need to be a skilled agent.]
[Right now, however, it's just pissing Agent Choi off.]
Don't be coy with me, now - You always impress me with your range. You always know just what to say to smooth things over.
[Like the first time they met, when he successfully cowed Bronze into getting him to attempt to swap teams. Like when they met in the Faceless Market and he gave him that maybe-true story about wanting to solve the mystery from that bloodied hand... He always has a way to get himself in the right position. The issue is that right now, the right position is where he's currently sitting and he's still trying to wriggle his way out.]
But you're being too obvious with your lying right now... You don't think we brought this up on a whim, do you?
[There's a small flinching shift from Jaekwan. A sign that he wants to argue, but thankfully for Choi he stays quiet. "Well, I kind of brought the conversation up on a whim," he probably wants to say...]
Let's try it one more time. [He's leaned down now, his face close to Soleum's. He knows he's avoiding looking at him, so he won't give him the luxury.] And if you still hate it, I'll swear on the dokkaebi - I won't bring it up again. [Then he huffs, quietly adding,] But I'll always treat you the same.
