"Any news on Subject 41?"
"No, Doctor." A woman in a lab coat cautiously eyed the back of the man in front of her. "We haven't picked up any leads yet." She clutched her tablet with a trembling hand, bracing herself for an outburst.
But it didn't come. "The public is in the dark still, so we can afford to keep looking for a little longer. Increase the amount of people searching. At this point, it's best to find a new subject, so prioritize tracking Subject 41 down and eliminating it if needed." He turned and fixed her with a spine-chilling stare.
"Subject 41 appears to have been a success, but there's no guarantee that something unexpected won't happen. You know the repercussions if this experiment gets exposed. Don't make any mistakes. Any of you."
She swallowed and nodded, barely able to say, "Yes, sir."
He straightened his tie and began walking again. "Good."

"Look, Latte!" Taekwoon flipped his sketchbook around to face her, beaming. "I drew you. Isn't it pretty?"
The cat stared at the dark shape on the paper, which looked like some protruding lines and a couple of blobs touching each other.
Yeah, I think you need to stick with abstract concepts, Leo. Or—wait, could it be—that he actually tries to draw realistically and lets everyone think they're abstract art because they're so . . . ?
She wanted to bang her head against the wall. How was this even possible? This guy . . .
A ping sounded and the screen of Taekwoon's phone lit up. Taekwoon picked it up and only glanced at it briefly with a slight frown before he tossed it back onto the couch beside him.
Latte peered down from his lap at it, reading the message from 'Hakyeon' that said, Taekwoon-ah! What are you doing right now?? She looked at Taekwoon curiously.
"You want to know who that is, right?" said Taekwoon, his face instantly changing to a gentle expression as he petted her head. "It's just an annoying guy I know. He loves getting into everyone's business." He went back to studying his sketch. "Maybe I should frame this?"
Taekwoon's phone pinged again. 'Hakyeon' again. This time, the message read, Look at these radishes! They're a STEAL. Want me to get you some? An accompanying picture of giant, fresh daikon radishes under a bright sale sign was attached.
Latte glanced at Taekwoon, whose expression had changed once again, a glint in his eye. He snatched up his phone and unlocked it, typing, Yep.
But before he could reply, another picture came in. This time, he really rolled his eyes before tapping the send button.
The image that he had received was of a smiling young man holding an especially large radish next to his face next to the display stand.
"That's Hakyeon?" said Latte, peering at it. "Wow, he's handsome!"
A/N: For those of you who are actually still reading this, I sincerely thank you for sticking with this. I've gotten a lot busier, so it's hard to think about this and real life most of the time.
Anyways, I'm hyped for "Parallel"! The boys look amazing in those promotion photos. :)
