Chapter 7 -Merciless Beings (part 2)

Minyoung

  Smoke lingered everywhere, debris crushed a human being, buildings, everything with blood splattered under them, soldiers forcing their way back to the headquarters, carrying survivors and...the dead. It was horrible, I stared down at my hand clasped in Suga's, unable to bear the horror. So this is the life they have here, I can never imagine anyone completely opposite, happy and fine.....safe. I held Suga's hand tighter which caused him to throw me a worried expression, I threw him back with a reassuring smile, although forced, I tried my best, I wouldn't want him to worry about a mere tight grip. As soon as we entered the headquarters, Jungkook and Taehyung came running at our direction, they stopped when they reached us. Jungkook was panting while Taehyung wasn't, I saw the desperate look for us in his eyes as he spoke,

  "Are you two alright?" I just gave a slight nod.

  "Where are the others heading to?" Suga asked. Taehyung released a long sigh before answering.

  "That small passageway leads to another village, it's an extra, the villagers will have to stay there until the damaged structures are fixed. That is, until the soldiers are done." he paused, glancing at Jungkook who was silent. "It actually takes 12 months, everyone isn't lazy to work, of course, we're part of rebuilding the whole village."

  "Would you like to help us? For humanity?" Jungkook finally opened his mouth to ask, his head hanging low, he was keeping himself from showing us his saddest face. Poor kid.

  "For humanity." I said, placing my hand on his shoulder.

  We were asked to return to the headquarters and rest, of course, the siblings pulled us in the chief's room. They told us they usually hang out there and the chief wouldn't mind, after all, they are sons of the leader, and one of them will be heir of the throne. We played a game of tag and a little incident happened: We caught the siblings doing some sweet talk while me and Suga were not around. It was completely adorable, who knew the siblings could make a cute couple? Except that they're not homosexuals, I'd always sigh thinking of that matter, the two were just sooooo dense. Their sweet talk is a private conversation between the two of them using body languages, and they also told us the chief and EXO taught them that kind of conversation. What have they done to the two innocent beings...
 
  The chief came out of a passageway between two bookshelves that I don't even know about, a guy was trailing behind her, a bit more taller than her height. I snorted at the sight, looking away not to piss her off.

  "Wha--" she seemed surprised we were here but then returned to her stoic expression later on. I tried to stop myself from laughing at her height amd failed, resulting me to giggle. Everyone turned their eyes on me.

  "You okay, Minyoung?" Suga was the first to speak. I bursted laughing hysterically on the floor, clutching my stomach.

Yoongi

  Did she lost her senses? Everyone looked at her with confusion, well, except Yu who still had her emotionless face on although a small tint of anger. Is she....pissed? I forcefully pulled Minyoung up, still laughing for no reason. She wouldn't stop so I shook her vigorously and FINALLY she stopped but remained a few soft chuckles.

  "Idiot." I flicked her forehead and she just whined, rubbing her forehead.

  "You were laughing at my height?" Yu asked

  "No, no!!" she immediately denied, raising her hands in defense. Yu just balled her hands into fists and stomped to her office chair just in front of a huge window, sun rays illuminating the dark room although a chandelier hung from the ceiling had supported a dim light to the sunshine.
