"Con-fi-den-tial. As in, secret," Aqua repeats. Alas the misunderstanding has nothing to do with Su-jin's pronunciation and everything to do with the fact that Aqua simply doesn't know the word. In any language, with or without an accent. But how could Su-jin possibly know such a thing?

Aqua leans in when Su-jin turns the phone around, peering closely at the screen. For someone who promised to never look at Su-jin's phone again, he sure was quick to jump on the chance once it was presented to him. His eyes move back and forth over the screen as though he may actually be reading what's written there. He's not, of course. Human writing is still a hurdle he hasn't yet gotten over. He recognizes the shape of a few words but he has no idea what any of it means.

"I still should've asked first." Doing that to the wrong person could get him into trouble. But this wasn't the wrong person and for that, Su-jin earns himself a bright smile from the little selkie. "So what're you doing?" He will apologize profusely for being nosy and snooping at someone's phone, but it doesn't even occur to him that this is also being nosy and it's also a little rude. Especially since this nice man is still a stranger. Oh well. Better luck on that one next time.
