There was a meeting held in Jin's dorm with only one person invited.
"Lee Jong-suk." Jin greeted with a nod of his head. Jong-suk smiled and patted Jin's shoulder.
"Long-lost friend," replied Jong-suk in a mocking tone, "it's not that great of a reunion, you should try harder next time."
Jin shrugged off Jong-suk's shoulder with a slight glare.
"How is the plan going?" He asked.
Jong-suk sighed, a bit stressed.
"Badly." He said simply.
Jin modded and headed over to his desk, tracing his finger against the wall. When he came across the top, his finger touched a desk ornament.
"You must remember," he said, lifting the ornament and observing it with a calm yet violent tone, "that the only reason I'm letting you in on the mission is because you, too, were there that day."
Suddenly Jin thrusted the ornament towards Jong-suk's direction.
Jong-suk ducked really quick and the ornament crashed against the wall, right where his head was just moments before. He looked up at Jin with a half shocked half entertained look.
When he stood up he decided to test Jin's will.
"Tch, tch, tch," He said lightly clapping his hands. "I'm sure you can aim better than that."
"How is the plan failing?" Jin said casually, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Fine," Said Jong-suk. Sensing a fail, he became serious.

    "It seems Mei has took quite a liking to Taehyung

"It seems Mei has took quite a liking to Taehyung. She made a fuss when she read the kissing scene with me and did not say anything about Taehyung. I believe they may have already kissed due to Taehyung's suspicious small smile and his quick exit."
Jin looked down, confused. Had Mei really gotten Taehyung to feel emotions again? Last time he checked, Taehyung was diagnosed with Alexithymia after Rasha's death.
"What is your theory?" He asked Jong-suk, who was playing with a piece of the broken ornament.
"My theory is that if something happened between them with me, then their bond will become stronger. Once that happens, you'll be able to expose the secret."
"You're sure you can do this in two months-time?" He asked him.

"You only call me in if the case is serious, hyung. I can do almost anything, so don't worry."
"I must suggest you take a different approach to Mei," Said Jin, leaning on his desk.
"If you believe it will work." Shrugged Jong-suk.
Jin nodded.

_______________________

I didn't want to move from this position, honestly.
Taehyung has his arms around me with my head on his chest and my arms tucked between us both.
My sleepy eyes landed on his, which were closed. His heavy and slow breathing warmed my head.
As I looked closely at his face, he began to look. . .familiar. His eyes and features looked so similar to the Yarn Boy, and I felt a sting in my heart.
Without thinking, I slipped my fingers across his cheek and began to caress his face. I traced his jaw-line, his cheek, and finally his lips. My fingers lingered there a bit longer than the rest.
His eyes fluttered open and I couldn't help but be swooned by his angelic irises. Though I giggled a bit when he just closed them again and a small objection to waking up came from him.
My cheeks were pink as I continued to stare at him. I could feel our tangled legs under the blanket, and suddenly felt heat rush onto my face.
He had pulled me closer and ever tighter to him with a slight groan escaping his lips. His head then angled and I could feel his hair against my forehead.
When I felt a kiss on my nose was when I got up and slapped his shoulder.
"Ow!" He said, now fully awake and rubbing is shoulder.
"You should stop teasing me like that!" I said, sitting up and crossing my arms with a smirk.
He chuckled, but for some reason his smile faded as he looked at me with a slightly shocked expression.
"You. . ." Was all he said.
I raised an eyebrow.
He shook his head and smiled a little.
"Never mind."
My eyes suddenly widened as I gasped. Taehyung looked at me with worry until I read the clock. Then his expression matched mine.
"We're late!" I shouted as I jumped out of bed and pulled the blanket off of him. We were going to miss our first class. "Let me feel your forehead."
"I'm fine." He said simply and got up. "You need to get ready, get some clothes and I'll call for an excuse."
I nodded and sprang for his dresser. I chose out something casual.
while getting ready, we had woke up Yeontan, who had a bed in the living room, and he was barking constantly right under our feet. A few times I nearly tripped over him, and Taehyung finally placed him inside a little pen for babies. I chuckled at his cuteness.
When we were both ready we dashed out the door, it was when our phone alarms went off, which told us when a period ended, when we slowed to a walk.
We had a free period. It would be another two hours until class started.
It was when Taehyung stopped that I turned toward him.
Panting from the running, his eyes observed his clothes and then the ones I was wearing. When I copied him, both us us looked at each other, and we both tinted.
We were wearing the same clothes.
He eyed me again but this time with a small smile.
