"Three rooms next to each other please" Chan took out his wallet "ah that's too expensive, make two out of it" Minho appeared from behind "you want us to sleep together?" He faced him weirdly "not us dumbass. Me and.." he looked back. Maejin was sitting on a couch in the lobby looking somehow unpatient "Just in case something happens" he added "what could possibly.. whatever" he turned back "my bad, two rooms please"
Minho do was scared that she has those weird scenarios going on in her head again, especially because she didn't rest at all like she was supposed to.
"Let's go" he held out his hand to her "weren't you just fully against me coming with you" she looked up at him "just be happy I changed my mind", "so now I should be thankful too" she walked past him.

"So you show up too huh"
"Were you surprised?"
"What do you expect me to say... no, what do you want?"
"You know what I want"
"How often do I still need to say this, I'm not close with Maejin and I just found out Minho isn't dead. I can't give you the answers neither the person's you want"
"Such a bummer, you've been a good worker of mine but you just betrayed me like it's nothing. You still don't apologise"
"Apologise? For what? I don't regret what I did. By then I would've been burned if I stayed with you"
"Ah Hyunjin... are you sure about that? More of your people died during it, mine escaped on the other hand. But you are right, you probably would've been so dumb and couldn't have escaped the fire"
"How did you know our plan?"
"Have my contacts"
"Don't lie"
"Why would I? You still underestimate me? You are so on their side that I don't even believe you about the contact breaking thing.. you think I'm dumb. Hey Hyunjin" the person's voice got clearer followed by footsteps
"Since when is someone in your love interest oddly having the name 'maejin' heart emoji?"
"Leave her out of this!"
"So you did lie"
"Wouldn't you have done the same to save person's you love?"
"This ain't about me, don't change the topic. Poor Minho, you even took away the only person he cared about. But wait, if we go further up the chats it seems like she coldly rejected you... wow one sided love is really the worse"
"What do you know about love. Shut the fuck up"
"So sensitive... such a.... liar" a punch right in the stomach as a chair moved "hey, tell me the truth. I give you a chance you better use it"
"Are you that eager for revenge?"
"Always"
"I won't say a word"
"Don't worry, I'll manage to get something out of you"
The sound of a punches and slaps filled the room as Maejin paused the recording.
"I can't listen to that" she quietly said "this isn't fair what he did", "of course it isn't fair. If you're this sensitive you should've stayed home, this man isn't human. He has no such feeling as love, regret or plenty. He doesn't forgive neither shows mercy. To no one.. not even his own brother... he does what he feels like, he doesn't go by brain or heart, just by the way his toxic inner voice tells him. Don't expect him to show hesitation, and don't expect anyone coming out alive after what he's doing. Just be thankful Hyunjin did and don't waste tears so easily" Minho responded. He had this cold look on, just like back then. It felt full of hate and odious, not quite pleasing to see.
Even though this ain't his job anymore, he seemed to be as much invested than back then.
"Hm.. fine" She pressed to continue.
"Will you tell me now?"
A quiet denying mumble escaped Hyunjin.
"We can't reach her, this morning, how the fuck did you escape so quickly? To tell her to turn her phone off or what you asshole"
"Who's the one that gave you the informations? Someone of our team?"
"You can barely talk and waist your voice on a question like this? .... you can try and guess"
"This ain't a game"
"Bummer cause I love games way too much. And you know what will happen if you won't play?"
"What do you want me to do!? I can't help you, even if I knew where she lives, she won't be there anymore. This is a hopeless situation for you"
"You think so?"
Silent after a groan
"He indeed is useless" sigh "not what I hoped for. Still I don't give up that easily"
