The Mission || Minsung

Six

"Don't leave the room at any cost." Jisung said sternly, satisfied after earning a nod from Minho. "I'll be back."

The moment the bedroom door shut, Minho released a breath he didn't realise he was holding.

"Fucking hell, Minho. Stop getting distracted."

He pushed down the urge to throw up as memories from the past started coming back to him.

He couldn't let the Hyacinth play with his mind again.

He immediately got off the bed and began putting his clothes on. He was about to get out of the room when suddenly, the door flew open, revealing a very distressed looking Hyunjin.

"Sunghoon told me that Han took you to this room. Are you alright?" Hyunjin asked.

"I'm perfectly fine." Minho answered his worried friend.

"I was worried sick when their men surrounded the entire place and no one could go inside." Said Hyunjin. "We need to get out of here now."

Nodding his head, Minho followed the younger out, taking stairs instead of the elevator.

"This meeting was a trap. I don't know how but they knew you would be here. I heard one of their men talking earlier." Said Hyunjin as the two of them descended the stairs.

"More the reason to not get caught today." Said Minho, quickening his pace.

A man suddenly came out of nowhere and began shooting at them.

"Just get out of here and get some protection! I'll deal with this guy." Said Hyunjin, urging Minho to go forward.

However, before he could, a loud sound of crashing came from above them.

Luckily for Hyunjin, his opponent was surprised and he took the oppertunity to finish the man off.

Hyunjin immediately pulled Minho by arm and began taking him downstairs.

"If we get caught by Hyacinth now, we'd have to die. Either by their hands, or by our own." Said the younger, pulling the Viper with him.

"Stop right there!" A familiar voice with unmistakable authority came.

"Shit." Minho muttered under his breath as he saw familiar blue hair.

"Where are you taking him?" Jisung roared, almost making him flinch.

"Does he not realise?" Hyunjin mumbled. "Perfect."

All of a sudden, Hyunjin took a knife out and placed it against Minho's neck, making the older's eyes widen.

"Well, this hottie caught my eye! Can't let the Hyacinth rats have all the good things, now." Said Hyunjin in a mocking tone.

"Act scared." Hyunjin whispered in Minho's ear.

What the fuck is going on in his mind?

Minho looked at Jisung with pleading eyes, trying his best to look scared.

The undercover agent training seemed to be coming in handy quite a lot that day.

Jisung was about to say something but suddenly, something behind Hyunjin caught his eyes.

Before anyone could realise what was happening, Hyunjin was forcefully pulled away from Minho.

The buff man from earlier slammed Hyunjin against the wall, taking Minho's arm and leading him towards Jisung.

Hyunjin smirked to himself, pleased that his plan worked. How smart he could be, he surprised himself sometimes.

"I'll deal with you bastards later! Die, you mother fuckers!" Hyunjin screamed at the duo, immediately running towards the exit.

Minho, however knew how fake that shout had been, and how victorious Hyunjin looked as he exited.

He didn't miss the look of assurance that his best friend passed him.

Using me as a spy? How original, Hwang.

Minho resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Why did you come out of the room?" Jisung demanded, eyeing the viper with squinted eyes.

"T-that man came and started dragging me with him." Minho whispered, looking down at his feet.

Minho could feel the sharp looks that the other two were passing him. He decided it was the best time to try out his ultimate trick.

He kept on staring at his feet for an entire minute without blinking, satisfied when he felt his eyes burn.

When a tear finally slipped his eye, he looked up at the two and spoke in a broken whisper. "Thank you for saving me."

That seemed to do something to the other two as their eyes softened a little. If Minho hadn't been trained to read every single expression, he would've missed it.

"Go ahead with Changbin and stay where he tells you to until we get rid of the enemies. Understood?" Said Jisung.

Minho quickly nodded his head and obliged.

He hated that he wouldn't be able to help his people, but there was no other way. Changbin took him to a random room and made him hide in the closet.

"You're lucky Jisung took a liking to you. Or you would be dead. Thank your parents for your genetics." Said Changbin with a subtle smirk, locking the door as he shut the closet. "Stay here until we come to get you."

Minho clenched his fist, closing his eyes at the mention of his parents.

I'll avenge you, mom and dad.

Not even a few minutes passed when the door flew open again and Hyunjin showed his face, which had a huge silly grin.

"How's the plan?" He asked.

"Dumb." Minho said, rolling his eyes. "I wanna go back now."

"Oh no, no. You're not going anywhere." Hyunjin said, pulling the older back. "Not when we have such a golden opportunity right in front of our eyes."

"Do you seriously think they're dumb enough to not realise who I am?"

"Well, judging from the way they acted earlier, yes." Said Hyunjin. "Not surprised though. With your top tier acting skills, even Mr Jang would be fooled."

"What now?" Minho asked, totally expecting Hyunjin's response.

"I talked to boss. He said try your best to become trustworthy to them." Said Hyunjin.

"But?" Minho raised his eyes, realising that his best friend and something else to say.

"But I say, you gain their sympathy." Hyunjin said with a grin. "And a little bit of Han Jisung's interest too. Oh lord, how easy would it become to kill that bastard off when he takes you with him?"

"No, no I'm not doing this." Said Minho, giving Hyunjin a side eye.

"Yes you are. Now get back inside before they come and don't worry, once you get with them, I'll arrange all of your weapons to be with you." Said Hyunjin, pushing the older back inside the closet.

"I... You know how much I hate him, Jin." Said Minho, his voice getting uncertain.

"There's only one sacrifice that you have to make, Minho. And it would result you in avenging Mr Lee's death and Mrs Lee's current situation. Make them proud." Said Hyunjin, his eyes softening. "And you're the Viper. The strongest. The boldest. You can do this."

"I know you will."

And then he left, leaving Minho alone to prepare himself.

The situation was so sudden and unexpected, he wondered if he'd be able to make it out alive.

Mother, father, this is for you.
