“So when I give the signal, I want you to take down the target. Any means possible.” The wind whipped through Fei’s hair as she nodded in response to Mason’s command, the abandoned rooftops they used for training a scenic backdrop to Fei’s evaluation. The assassin had been nervous for this— then again, she wasn’t quite sure why she felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought of just doing her job in hopes that she’d come out of it with a higher rank on her badge. She’d been trained by Mason himself, after all. If he thought that she was ready for an evaluation, then that probably meant he knew she would pass it. Right? So there was nothing to worry about.

“Got it. So what’s the signal?” Wide eyes watched expectantly as her leader stopped in his tracks, hesitating.

“Y’know... the signal.”

“How would I know what the signal is if you don’t tell me?” Fei paused, thinking it over. “I think the signal should be something fun, something no one else would say, y’know? Like... like fish queen!”

“Why would fish have a queen?”

“Exactly! Nobody would ever say it in a normal context, it’s perfect!”

“...Sure, kid. Signal’s fish queen.”

my mind is drawing a blank on this one because jiyong is extremely stubborn and i can’t think of an instance where he let anyone talk him out of anything—other than some things that were very insignificant when he was younger, such as not spending his pocket money on certain things and instead saving it up for stuff he really wanted. ( and, yes, he came from a wealthy family, but his grandparents thought it was important to teach him some financial responsibility. ) i’m sure there are more recent instances, but i can’t think of any right now, so this is what we’re going with!

while he only occasionally lets others get under his skin, he’s his own worst critic and often gets frustrated with himself when things don’t work out the way he wants them to—this mostly pertains to his art, writing, and other work. everything else is nothing more than a minor annoyance. that said, he has a positive attitude he knows how to maintain very well and he’s rarely seen without his signature smile.
