Seven

Himchan's fingers sweat as he played with his pen,"You're still not gonna confess?" "I already told you I don't know his location." It had been over a week since Himchan apprehended Soon-bae, the woman from the plastic surgery clinic. "You're gonna tell me the same lie everyday? You can't at least think of a better one?" Soon-bae answered,"Maybe it's 'cause that 'lie' is the truth." "Do you realize how hard it's been for me to keep you a secret? The kitchen staff has been wondering why a tray of food is always missing. Or why I haven't been allowing anyone in the interrogation room for a amount of time during the day." "I give could less than a fuck about your job. I've said this everytime you've questioned me. I. Don't. Know. His. Location." Himchan combed his hair with his fingers,"You realize you'll be arrested, right?" "You told me that the first time you apprehended me," she crossed her arms and leaned back into her seat,"Why don't you just take me to court and give me a real arrest? Wouldn't it be easier on you and your little boyfriend?" She said the last part glaring at Himchan. Himchan glared back. "What? You act like it's not true. You buy the man food and visit him every night." Himchan lost his patience, he pulled her up into her cell. Himchan debating seeing Yongguk, as he wanted to prove Soon-bae wrong. For no reason, besides his own self pride. Yet he couldn't stop himself from turning around to the older man's cell.
Yongguk was sitting at the corner of the cell's wall and the bars. He watched as Himchan's silhouette move closer to his cell. Unlike usual, Yongguk didn't say anything to the man. Himchan noticed, without saying a word he crouched down like usual, making him head level with the man who always sat on the floor. "Are you okay?" Himchan asked breaking the silence. Yongguk lifted his head up, moving the hair out of his face. He slightly nodded, not seeming to want to speak. Himchan worried as the man acted strange. He slid his hand through the bars. Unknowingly, cupping Yongguk's face.
"Yongguk." Himchan felt weird as it'd been some time since he referred to the man by his name. Yongguk made eye contact with man,"I'm sorry. I'm just "out of it"." Yongguk slightly blushed as he realized Himchan's hand was cupping his right cheek. The two looked at each other for a uncomfortable amount of time. Until Himchan's phone rang, breaking the moment. He quickly removed his hand from Yongguk and picked up his phone. Yongguk felt a wave a slight jealously take him over as he watched Himchan smile before answering his phone. Yongguk tried to appear as if he was taking zero interest in Himchan's conversation, with he guessed was his wife. Yongguk bit and played with his lip in jealousy as he heard Himchan refer to the woman as 'Honey', 'Sweetie' and other 'sweet sounding' words during the call. Yongguk bit down as he heard Himchan say the words 'I love you' to the woman. Yongguk felt a wave of pain over the lower region of his face. He touched to see blood on his hand. He had slightly bitten into his lip. "This hurts like hell." Himchan slid his phone into his back pocket, not noticing Yongguk in pain. Yongguk wiped his mouth, leaving red streaks on his forearm. Himchan quickly noticed after. "What'd you do?" He asked in a worried tone. "I just slighty bit myself." Himchan quickly unlocked the door, wanting to look at Yongguk's bleeding lip. He he was about to kneel down, his phone rang again.
He cursed under his breath, as he picked up the phone. The contact read 'Boss', leaving Himchan no choice but to answer. The call ended with Himchan saying,"I'll be there right now." Himchan was about to tell Yongguk, however his eyes read that he already knew. Himchan just replied with,"I'll be back in a little bit." Before relocking the cells door and walking down the hall.

Himchan knocked on his superiors door. He was replied with a 'Come in.' Himchan stepped inside to see his superior staring out the window. "You wanted to see me, sir?" It was unusal to hear Himchan refer to anyone as a higher-up as he was second to his boss's position. "I was just wondering if you had any idea why food trays have gone missing, and why you've been restricting the interrogation room for two hours everyday for the past week." "The food trays; I'm not sure. The interrogation room; is because I'm using it for its exact purpose. To interrogate." Himchan was a good liar. Even if he was tapped to a lie detector, his vitals would stay consistent, whether he was lying or telling the truth. "Ok then. Also one more thing." "Yes, sir?" "Do you know why that bastard Yongdam hasn't starved to death yet? If I recall correctly he refused to eat." He said almost popping the word 'bastard' on purpose. Himchan clutched his fist, he dug his nails into his own skin hearing the word 'bastard' in the same sentence that was directed at Yongguk, whether his real name was used or not. He held himself back from punching the man. "I'm not sure, sir. Am I excused now?" "Yes." Himchan turned around without bowing another time. His boss's phone rang. Himchan paid no attention as he walked out until he heard the voice over the line. "It's the same voice from Soon-bae's phone call that day." Himchan thought to himself. He quickly left the room, not wanting to seem suspicious. He ran back to the cell room, remembering Yongguk's bleeding lip. He saw Yongguk sitting down, his lip now had dried blood aligned on the bite marks. Himchan opened the cell and grabbed Yongguk's wrist. Yongguk used a slight force to hold himself down,"My lip stopped bleeding. I'm fine." Himchan ignored Yongguk's sentence and pulled harder. Yongguk got up. Himchan dragged Yongguk to his office. The office had been quieter and most agents were sent to work overseas, making it easier to do tasks like this easier. Himchan locked his door, making sure no one would see he had a prisoner with him. "They'll see I'm gone when they look through the CCTV." "They don't care about death row prisoners enough to do that." Himchan said while grabbing a first aid kid from under his desk. "Sit on the desk." Yongguk did as what Himchan ordered.
Himchan stepped towards the man. He wiped the dried blood off Yongguk's lip. Being careful with his movements. Yongguk looked at the younger man. He was so focused on trying to not hurt Yongguk. After he cleaned the wound, Himchan rubbed chapstick over Yongguk's lips. He straightened his back up. Himchan was close to Yongguk. They were closer than they'd ever been. Even closer then the time they first met. Himchan moved closer, not knowing why.
Yongguk moved slightly closer, too. Himchan told himself to move back, yet he couldn't. He was all of a sudden "drawn" to Yongguk. He didn't stop. He couldn't stop.

And he didn't stop until the gap between their lips was closed.
