🕯 kyungseok @ talia

inner thoughts.

talia ochoa is not someone that kyungseok finds useful. how in the world she made it to level ii, he'll never know. there were a lot of choices made by cerberus that he simply would never understand. there were many agents that kyungseok couldn't believe even made it past the application process. talia ochoa being one of them. ( along with the fact that she hung around a level iii who seemed to be about as useless as her. ) for one, she isn't a good field agent. her powers require for her to be sleeping. how is that going to help stop a heist? a transport? a hostage situation? oh, wait a second, let me just catch some shut-eye. one minute in and she'd get taken out in seconds flat. level ii seemed to be filled with agents that just simply can't do much, hm? kyungseok can't work with that. he can't have someone who has no defenses — no attack — nothing. dreams? give him a break. at least some of the level iii's have powers that can do something. and then she is simply too sensitive. if kyungseok could even get past the weakness of her abilities, he'd try to help to improve her. there was always something you can do, some way that you can be better. she seems to crumble when the conversation turns into criticism. if she can't handle one conversation with him, how is she going to handle the world? if she can walk out on the catwalk with no issue but can't listen to him when he tries to help her, he has no use for her. like, apologies that he isn't out here ogling her legs, he's trying to save the people of the city. & the people the city deserve better than talia ochoa.

— LOVESHOT & LUCIDITY // @iridescences WHERE: the grand opening of anderson laboratories. WHEN: just after arrival. WHO: our newest couple (?).

Kyungseok lets go of her hand as soon as it is safe to do so. Every flashing camera, every curious question posed trying to ask about the hand resting against the small of her back. Loveshot and Lucidity — together? Kyungseok still felt the dull ache in his chest, disappointment and disgust. Of all the agents? Flare was already taken, Ariadne was a nightmare, Mila, Ariya, and Valeria weren't friendly enough and Malee, Robyn and Esen ( who would have been his choice ) were not as popular as Talia. That is what he was told, anyway. Kyungseok had a sneaking suspicion it had to do with the pink and marketing.

All he had to do was pretend. Just make them believe it. That's all he had to do. He just had to smile ( hidden by the mask. ) and act like he couldn't be without her. He's good at acting — he's good at pretending. Anyone else, he could have been more than convincing. The issue is that it's Talia. He could not stand her. He didn't like how timid she was, how scared she was, how she just lived in this constant bubble of overthinking and wrung-out anxiety. That could cost lives out there on the field. The PR team brushed that said when he mentioned that he didn't work well with her. You really can't afford another option, Kyungseok. Talia is a beloved agent — and she would make you look good. You need that right now.

No, what he needs right now is— He catches himself before he starts scanning the crowd for a familiar set of shoulders. Later. Quickly, he turns and catches a tray of champagne and offers it to her.

His voice is clipped. "Here. Do you think we've been seen enough?"
