That Night

009

Hanbin was sitting nervously in front of his boss, right leg shaking as a habit to calm down the streaming thoughts in his mind. The man in front of him was fixing him with a serious stare, head tilted to the side, chin propped on the top of his joined hands. He didn't dare to add a single word, fearing it might get even worse for him if it could, he knew way to well what that silence meant. Even Donghyuk who was usually here to cheer him up when he'd been scolded by the older didn't move a finger nor had a hint of smile on his pretty face. The tension was threatening to kill him before Bobby finally opened his mouth after hearing his little story.

- Are you telling me that this Kim Jin-something is gambolling freely outside, knowing about us and your sleeping disorders ? Are you serious B.I ? Is it how I taught you to behave ?

Hanbin only flinched on his chair at the cold tone used, eyes obstinately glued on his hands playing with the thread coming out of his ripped pair of jeans. He slowly shook his head, feeling as guilty as if he'd been chided by his own father, but he couldn't have done much more, could he ? He was already feeling down after trusting Jinhwan's empty words about solving his problems, was he strong enough to endure Bobby's sharp ones in a row ? He was desparated for some help, his nightmares were killing him and Bobby knew it without a doubt. A sigh escaped from the boss' mouth and the latter gently asked Donghyuk to get out of the the small room. The blond boy nodded within a second and walked pass Hanbin, squeezing his shoulder to show some support before leaving in a small -clic- of the door. The two of them were left alone in the locked space, bearing the heavy atmosphere. Hanbin hated those face to face talks the most, but he didn't expect what was to come.

- Well. I don't really have the time to joke around about this serious case, ok ? This human can be the death of us Hanbin, and I'm freaking not overreacting.

Bobby stopped a second to scan his reactions but apart from his opened mouth and the incomprehension written all over his face, there was nothing to see. The bunny teeth guy ran a frustrated hand through his hair and bent closer to Hanbin, his voice barely louder than a rustle.

- Listen, I didn't want to involve you in this crappy affair, but after what you just told me, we need to take extra precautions. You know that I don't only work for the blood bank system, I'm also in charge of keeping an eye on the human's actions, right ?

Hanbin nodded silently, frowning, his black orbs now judging his elder's. His fear of getting looked down on by Bobby changed into a serious attitude and he switched his position, straightening his body. It wasn't two brothers talking anymore, but a business man and his right-hand man. Noticing the change, the older allowed himself to grin, and continued.

- Brace yourself man, 'coz the human's part of the government made a move. My informers told me about a secret project, a renewal of something, but they failed to get more details about it. I don't want to send them there again, it could be dangerous, but this isn't the problem. I need to know if your boy is working for them.

His hands were stiff on the steering wheel, gripping on it so hard his knuckles were already turning white. Lucky was the man in the car in front of him because if it wasn't for the rain pouring as during a downpour, he would have get his ass out of his car to beat him up. He needed to release the anger bubbling hard and thick in his veins but the sole means he was able to think about was to go to the cimetery in the middle of the rush hours or to punch every strangers crossing his road. No need to weight the pros and cons in those conditions. The traffic light taking the eternity to switch to the green made him hit the dashboard with a furious punch, but he immedialty regretted it when he felt an electrifying pain dashing along his arm. Sighing heavily to relieve some of his cumbersome emotions, he closed his eyes for a second.
