"How did you find this, exactly?" Hyunjin asked, his lips parted as he stared up at the sky.

Felix had led him down not any more than a few roads and up onto some form of ledge, one that Hyunjin had seemingly been unaware of all the time he had been living there. But it couldn't have been more than ten minutes away from his house, if that.

The other laughed at his confusion, shrugging his shoulders as he sat himself down on one of the benches that were placed there. "I dunno, maybe I just knew it was here?" He answered sassily, "it's kind of nice, though."

All Hyunjin could do was nod in agreement. It wasn't that high of a ledge, no- but beneath it were still plenty of homes that were lit up with dim lights as the sun began to set behind the houses. However, the sound of children running and giggling about behind them, in a closed fence area, certainly was the only disturbance there.

"I forgot to mention that it was quite literally beside a playground," Felix jested, patting the spot on the bench beside him.

Hyunjin carefully sat down beside him, head tilted to the side slightly.

The two of them sat in comfortable silence with the sound of stranger's children giggling back behind them, laughing as they chased each other.

"I do remember saying that I want to know more about you," Felix then said matter-of-factly, "so start talking, mister man."

He glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and then released a chuckle. He had no idea where he was supposed to start- and he knew that he wasn't interesting.

Puckering his lips, Hyunjin bit down on his tongue and released a loud breath. "Well, my name is Hwang Hyunjin, or Samuel- as you already know... uhm, I'm not exactly the most interesting person, I apologize."

Felix rolled his eyes, holding up his hand in front of Hyunjin's face. "Pick a finger."

With a confused glance, Hyunjin lightly touched the pad of Felix's middle finger.

"What are your favorite hobbies?" Felix then queried as he pulled his hand back, patting the top of Kkami's head as he stared at Hyunjin for an answer.

He thought for a moment. He hadn't really thought about this at all, frankly- he didn't know how to differentiate his hobby for something he just did casually at that point. Which, really, he found a little bit concerning.

Hyunjin sucked in a breath, and puckered his lips. "I used to sing in my high school choir. But I stopped singing when I lived in Quantico for my training. Hmm, I draw sometimes- but it's nothing fancy, I don't think. I used to make rings, too- but the materials were kind of expensive so I kind of fell from doing that."

Felix hummed in acknowledgement once Hyunjin stopped talking, before muttering a soft: "You should make me a ring sometime," with a sly smile.

"We'll see if I can do that for you," Hyunjin then said with a soft smile in return, lightly patting Felix's knee before he leaned back against the bench. "Being an agent at this point in time kind of takes the joy out of a lot of things I do. Especially because we deal with all these bigger cases that the police departments won't take care of."

"Then why did you choose to become an FBI agent?"

He thought for a moment, pinching his bottom lip with his teeth gently as he sighed, thinking back on the only reason he decided to go through with it. "Helping people, I guess," he answered, "I didn't think I was smart enough to become a doctor so I chose not to. And I'm not the biggest fan of the police system, either- I'm barely a fan of this system." He chuckled lightly, "I think I just did it to help people."
