SECRETS & LIES | VKOOK ✓ [EDITING]

"where should we go?" taehyung asks, here seated in jeongguk's passenger seat as the attracive male drives.

"honestly, I don't know. I'm not even sure if this car's —y'know, safe?" jeongguk says, eyes panning from left to right, checking if there's any place that's safe for him to spill the rather sensitive matter to taehyung. he's done this before, he played the 'joker' quite a few times for him to know the rules and for him to know the consequences of not following the rules— death; so he got to be safe. because the plan they were building was called 'joker plays'. easy and simple to remember.

they have to be safe.

"can't we just talk at the side of the road perhaps? I mean, there's a lot of open spaces here, we could just —"

"by open spaces, you mean there? with all those trees? no. trees have eyes and some with ears, taehyung-ah, so are the walls, the roofs, even the damn floor. they might even be watching us as we speak, I've already disabled the audio of the device they implanted in this car, but it'll be too suspicious if I turn off the cam and I couldn't possibly explain everything with a damn fake smile on my face." jeongguk says, smiling as he speaks, aware of where the cameras are placed inside his own vehicle so he subtly glanced at it for taehyung to get the hint.

" I-I see, shouldn't we have taken my bike instead?" taehyung asks, forcing a smile as well after seeing the tiny red beeping light from jeongguk's rearview mirror. ''y'know I rarely use it anyways.''

"you got it from not the exact safe place, dear. of course it'll be the same, even your damn helmet's fully geared with a more difficult tapping device than what my car has so they'd all hear what you'll say whenever you have it on." jeongguk says, pretending to scratch his nose; purposely obstructing the camera's view on his mouth, in case somebody tries to read his lips; call him paranoid, but he has to be careful at all costs.

"I'm starting to get really creeped out y'know?" taehyung says, taking jeongguk's free hand and placing it against his lips, pretending to kiss it; reading the attractive's ways of being cautious quite perfectly, so he does the same.

"don't , you can't. that is if you wanna win of course." jeongguk says. they were replacing all of their words in the meaning of a game, but it was all just their plan already.

"what if we leave? we could just pay the guards to do their work with him and leave." taehyung fakely suggests, while jeongguk shakes his head in response.

''they won't let us out that easy." jeongguk said, ''he already knows you are with me, he has his ways. it's already begun, we can't end it like this.''

"this is gonna harder than I thought." taehyung sighed, leaning his head back, huffing in frustration, thinking about their next move.

"hey." jeongguk approached as an idea cross his mind.

"yeah?"the beauty asks back.

"how much do you trust your for lifer?"

"yoongi hyung?" taehyung immedietly asked from the nickname 'for lifer' that jeongguk used to call their friendship.
