Byeong-Lee smiles and pushes back against the pressure on his arm. It's enough, that one motion, to change the mood of this meeting into something a great deal more intimate. A switch from 'a doctor and patient talking a bit unconventionally'to 'possibly a date'. But, strangely enough, he doesn't seem to mind enough to adjust and stop it.
"Non-doctor questions? Are you asking to get to know me, better?" he teases. Because it's funny, in a way. He feels acutely that John already knows him a great deal better than he sometimes knew himself. And vice-versa. But that's just...a feeling. No logic behind it. So he shakes it loose and reaches over for the water glasses that had been filled at some point (not his glass) and takes a small sip of it.
"Why don't you tell me about your family? Most people would be at home during their breaks from action. You don't seem like you even took a weekend to visit." As an orphan, Byeong-Lee never really understands that drive to run home at the earliest convenience. But he recognizes and respects it in others. Notices when someone doesn't follow the convention. "Too far?"
