Saving the Assassin

Chapter 14: Questions

Xiumin woke up around 4 pm and roams his eyes around to find his friends. They were not there. He hastily sits his self up and grabs his phone. He heads out of Yixing's room to the kitchen only to see them eating instant noodles.

"How are you hyung?" Suho asked. "Much better now." He spoke huskily.

"Here hyung let's eat." Chen slides one bowl of ramen in front of him as he sat. "Thanks." He takes a sip from the hot ramen and slurps some noodles to make himself feel warm.

"Lay. What if an important person confessed something like he/she was doing something bad and he/she wanted to stop but he was blackmailed, what would you do?"

"I would most certainly help. I'll figure out who blackmailed him and sue him if possible. Because he's simply a threat for those important to you right?" Lay answers and the two was left dumbfounded.

Xiumin grasps his cellphone and thinks about telling Luhan. "But what if that person also told you not to tell it to someone I'm really close to cause it might bring danger? What would you do?"

"Hyung, I don't know where you're rooting that questions from cause it's too deep. But I'll mostly do it all myself to keep everything smooth." Lay nods to himself.

"Aaah! Too much maturity! Go away and talk somewhere else!" Chen interrupts making Suho nudge him.

"Wanna tell us about it hyung?" Suho offers. "It's probably from some drama he watched." Chen helps Xiumin shove the topic off cause he felt something was up. Xiumin gives him a 'thanks-for-saving-my-ass' look and he nods curtly.

"Aish! You beagle won't just stop huh?" Suho aimed his fist at Chen making them all chuckle.

"Ugff. It's so boring to wait for nothing." Sehun muttered. "And we're not even in the quarters so why are we waiting for something?" Tao added.

"Yah. How many times do I have to tell you that we need to be together if something comes up? You stubborn maknaes." Luhan scolded.

"Hyung. I'm hungry." Kris said.

Luhan, as the oldest in the group obligued to ask what they like. "Bubbletea hyung!" The maknaes cheered making Kris shake his head.

"Kris. Let's go buy and leave them here. We'll have what we like." He gestured for him to follow. "But this two might mess around." Kris replied pointing at the two.

"I'll treat you." And like a magic word, Kris stood up faster than expected. "Yah. You maknaes behave okay?" And they nod obediently, suppressing their giggles.

The older ones went out and drove to buy what they want. "Let's go buy Seasoned Chicken with Ddeokbokki sauce hyung." Kris speaks. Chicken is his style eversince.

"Sounds good. Let's add jajangmyeon in case those bubbleteas are not enough for the two." Lu suggested.

"Of course it's not. You know them." Kris chortled and Luhan chuckled. "Know what hyung. I think the culprit would take his time before doing the next move. Have you sent protection to those possible victims?"

"Actually not yet cause I still have this little suspicion. But I'll ask chief." Luhan assured.

Several minutes later, they already got their order from a drive-thru and proceeded to a nearby milktea shop. There were no drive-thrus so they went inside.

"2 Wintermocha and 2 Taro bubbleteas please." Lu ordered. Kris looks around for seats whilst waiting and he soon finds one near a couple. He can tell with their face skinship.

This is awkward. PDA really do exist. Kris spoke internally whilst keeping cool. Soon Luhan comes with the bubbleteas and calls for him. He was about to stand up when the girl from the couple he saw, abruptly stood up and dashed to maybe go to the bathroom, but she bumps at Luhan. "Mian." She bowed curtly and continued on her tracks. Kris sat there and watched. Luhan somehow tried to recognize someone.
