The Wait Pt. 2

KIM. T

The time we spent waiting for the queen's return seemed like an eternity. If I didn't have Yoongi there to ground me, I might've gone mad from either the wait, or Mare's occasional alluring looks my way.

I would rather go through basic and AIT all over again.

After an eternity, a light tap sounded on the door, signaling the return of the queen. She bore a striking resemblance to Mare, or perhaps the other way around. Though the woman was supposedly ancient, her skin still glowed and was full of youth, like one of the marble statues I had seen in the Old Books in school.

I didn't expect to see the man who followed in behind her.

I sprung out of my seat, and marched straight towards the man. I gripped onto his collar tightly with one hand and balled the other into a fist.

"You left the two most dangerous people behind. You do realize they may not be there by the time we get back, right?" I bellowed.

A sly smile played at the edge of his lips, and it made me wonder if he almost enjoyed the way I threatened him. It made it almost impossible not to smash his face in right there.

"Jeon and I will be just a moment- please pardon us," I intoned politely, and then I yanked him outside of the cottage, pulling the front door shut behind me.

"I'm going to kick your fucking ass, Jeon Jungkook," I growled. This time, it was Jeon's turn to be scared.

"Sir-" he murmured, the corner of his mouth upturned snarkily.

His lack of maturity only fueled my already burning anger. "Do you realize what you've done?!" I was careful to raise my tone so that the queen didn't hear.

Jeon simply shook his head, a weird look in his eyes began to grow the more I went off on him.

I leaned my face close to his, a fire burning in my core that was ready to jump out and attack the stupid rookie in front of me.

He returned the gesture- leaning closer. Too close. I could feel Jeon's warm breath hitting my face. "What are you gonna do to me, Major?"

I glanced at his lips again in spite of myself, quickly averting my eyes back to his. I kept my voice low. "Back away before my fist does it for you, lieutenant."

Jeon shuddered. After a moment, he lifted his hands up and lowered his head. I let go of his shirt and shoved him away. "We need to get back. We needed to be back yesterday because of your fuck up. But I suppose now-" I ran a hand through my hair, an anxious chuckle erupting from me, "we're just going to have to fucking figure it out. And if anything goes wrong? You're dead. And the General will never know what happened to you."

I quickly turned away and made my way back inside before he could see the pink that had crept up into my cheeks. What the hell was that whole situation?

"Yes sir."

JUNG H.

Jin and I obeyed as the three soldiers left us behind. Lots of plans and scenarios to escape filled my brain, but after Jin's- new power discovery thing- my mind was filled with thousands of new questions.

Is he truly a mortal? Is he a demi or a mutant? Does he know and pretend he doesn't? What the hell happened in that lab?

Jin was seated on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the wall. His skin was completely devoid of color, and for a moment I almost wondered if he was dead.
