Something New (OnHo)

The More It Overflows

Kibum sighed to himself, what was taking him so long? He wanted to get started already, to feel the fear come off of the young man. Kibum leaned up against a wall, straightening up when he heard footsteps coming toward the door. A smile made its way across his face, he slipped a knife into his hand and waited for Taemin to open the door.

It creaked open slowly, he took a few steps forward, keeping the lights off. This felt so easy that Kibum felt like a kid on Christmas. In one swift movement, Kibum pinned the shadow against the wall, his knife at its throat.

Kibum glared, almost growling at the sight, "Choi Minho where is he" He refused to move the knife, keeping Minho pinned.

"I couldn't let you do it, so he's safe" Minho answered, and Kibum could tell it was the truth.

"Why?! I've never interfered with any of your contracts, why are you suddenly interfering with mine?!" Kibum was angry, and he pushed the knife closer, but still not close enough to cut him.

"Jinki's not stupid, he's onto you, and sometimes money can't fix things" Minho warned, and Kibum just laughed at this.

"If I go down, I take you with me, then Jinki has to live with the fact he put you in jail" Kibum smiled, "After he finds out how similar we are, he might like the idea, and then you'll be alone again" Kibum hummed, "At least we'll have each other"

"Is that why you won't give up? Because you miss me? You think Jinki will leave and I'll crawl back to you? It's that it?" Minho asked, and Kibum hated how calm his voice was.

"I won't give up because it's my job" Kibum grit his teeth, "And might I remind you, it's your job too" Kibum chuckled, "What will Jinki think when he finds out? I bet he'll just run in fear"

"Ya! Stop it!" Minho yelled but Kibum threatened with the knife.

"Careful, I might send you back with battle scars... or worse, in a bag" Kibum smiled, but Minho's eyes didn't believe him fully.

"You wouldn't kill me, you can't, you're too attached" There was a fear behind his eyes that Kibum loved.

"Wouldn't I? You're compromising the mission, the boss would gladly let me get away with it" Kibum lied, Minho was right, he was attached.

"Then do it, kill me, if you can't then you have to let Taemin go" Minho compromises and Kibum huffed in anger.

"F-fine" For once Kibum wasn't sure if he could finish this job.

He brought the tip of the knife to Minho's jaw, dragging across his jawline. Not enough to cause a major injury, just enough to have a long scar when it heals. Kibum swallowed hard, he had killed so many times before, but why was it so hard this time. He knew why though, or course he knew, and he was scared Minho knew it too. Because then he'd have a weakness, and he wasn't supposed to have weaknesses. No, Kim Kibum wasn't weak, he couldn't be, he hated being weak.

Minho smiled at him, almost mocking him, and it made him mad.

So, so mad.

Before he knew it the knife came down into Minho's leg, the taller letting out a short yell of pain and Kibum's eyes widened. He pulled it out, looking at the blood stain, and for once he felt sick. He felt woozy, dizzy, nauseous, weak. He looked back at Minho, his face twisted in pain and concern. Then he heard the knife hit the ground, the sound making Kibum flinch.

No.

No, no, no.

He couldn't have done that to Minho.

He would never do that to Minho.

He loved Minho.

He stumbled backwards a bit and watched Minho reach for him. He couldn't feel his hands or hear the words coming out of his mouth. This has only happened once before, the last time he loved someone, to the only other person he'd ever loved.

But they died.

Minho couldn't die.

While Kibum could see Minho talking and holding onto him and even standing the older couldn't shake the feeling that he was about to lose him. Something had taken over, and it had left him with only his sight and his thoughts.

He hurt Minho.

He was going to kill Minho.

He closed his eyes, it wasn't happening if he couldn't see it. Minho wasn't hurt if Kibum couldn't see the blood. But he felt him now, Minho's hands on his shoulders, he missed those hands. He wanted to hold those hands again, but he couldn't move himself, scared of hurting Minho again.

Kibum tried to change his focus, tried to listen to Minho, wanted to listen to him. It was muffled at first, but he could hear the younger speak his name.

"Kibum.. please, what's wrong? Please answer me, please come back" It was desperate and sad, it hurt Kibum's heart, but he couldn't find his voice.

One step at a time, just like last time.

He blinked his eyes open, taking in Minho's features. He focused on his eyes first, then his nose, eyebrows, ears, and then.. lips. He missed those lips, just like everything else, but he thinks he missed those the most. He remembers when they used to spill compliments and "I love you"s, and he finds himself smiling softly at the memory.

Kibum started to find the will to move again, still shaky, but unable to speak. Minho became less worried as Kibum started moving again, but he still wanted the older to speak to him. And then Minho hugged him.

Kibum was shocked, he had just stabbed him, and now they were hugging.

"It's okay Kibum, everything is okay, I forgive you" Minho spoke and Kibum felt tears come to him.

He's been forgiven.

No one's ever forgave him.

He's a killer after all.

"I-I'm sorry" Kibum mumbled, and Minho seemed to hug tighter.

"It's okay, I'll be okay" Minho replied and Kibum was surprised at the kind words.

"I don't know what I was thinking- I could never hu-urt you" Kibum somewhat apologized, "I won't hurt Taemin.. I'll kill those loan sharks, I'll help him, if it means I never have to hurt you again"

"Thank you, Kibum" It made his heart smile, "Thank you so much"
