Playing Chess [17°]

Evangeline shuffles into the Courtyard after her rest, Kim suggesting she get some air as he takes care of a few things on his end. She is put in the Courtyard instead of the bedroom to keep her monitored while Kim was away. When Evangeline awoke from her slumber he was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching her as she slept. He had a glass of water for her on the nightstand in case she was thirsty.

She didn't know how long she was asleep, but since everyone was out in the Courtyard, Supper would be happening soon. She peers around the field for her acquaintance, hoping he was out here as well. She catches a glimpse of the back of his head, seeing him sitting on a bench by himself. She calls out to him. When the man turns over his shoulder at the sound of his name and sees her, his eyes widen.

He stares up at her as she comes to a stop. She's confused on his sudden expression. He turns back around, back facing her. Before she can question his coldness toward her, he speaks first. "No, we can't be near each other." He rushes out, peeking around the Courtyard for his handler.

She assumes Park is the reason for his distant behavior. "What'd he say to you?"

Yoongi shakes his head, "It's not what he says. It's what he does." She doesn't know if Park had done anything to him yet, Yoongi turning his head too quickly for her to get a good look. She examines the rest of his body, walking near the left side of him. She notices one of his shoes are off, a bandage wrapped around his foot that appears bruised and swelling. His arms wrapped in stained cloths as well from where his handler had taken a knife and slashed into them.

She can only imagine what his face looks like. "That looks painful," She's referring to his left leg, appearing as though he can't put any weight on it. He lowers his gaze to the appendage, scoffing. His fingers grip around the edge of the bench, praying that she leaves soon before she causes anymore turmoil for him.

"I knew being around you was a bad idea," He mumbles under his breath, pain furrowing his brows. She barely catches what he says, guilt rumbling inside her chest at his words. "Why did you..." He bites his lip to suppress his anguish. He was aggravated and hurt at the same time.

She promised she wouldn't do anything reckless that would cause harm his way. He's become on edge now every time they come in contact with each other. He cares for the woman, but he feels as if she's only using him as her pawn. An escape goat when she's trapped in a corner with no way out. He knew it was stupid to get close to her. It's always been like this for Yoongi. No one shows empathy toward him like he does for others.

"I'm done helping you."

Yoongi embraces for anger from the woman, a distraught call to reconsider his decision. Or that he was being stupid for not wanting to leave this place. He would put his foot down, tired of being run over. Argue back that he wouldn't be her puppet anymore. Get everything off his chest and let her know just how terrible she's treated him during their association.

No longer feeling a presence behind him, he slowly turns his head to look. Evangeline isn't standing there anymore. He watches her backside as she walks away without saying another word to the bruised man. No goodbye. No final word. Just gone.

She's already plotting her next move.

Evangeline spots Baekhyun exiting the building and conversing with a patient. She wouldn't let the minor hinder in her plan discourage her, deciding to see if Baekhyun would be of any aid to her. She knows she can't do this alone. She needs as many ally's on her side as she can get. Baekhyun's been pleasant with her before. She can tell he's not like the rest of the handlers.

His gaze shifts away from the patient next to him and onto Evangeline upon his name being said. He smiles once he registers who she is, excusing himself from the other person as he meets with her halfway. She returns the gesture. "It's good to see you're doing well." He says, scanning her body for any visible health problems. She thanks the man before her, then asks if he has a moment to talk.
