thirty two.
"What?!" You asked loudly. "You guys are in a mission?! And-"
A hand suddenly wrapped around your mouth, making you hysterical more.
"Calm down!" Goosebump happened when you heard Yixing whispering behind you. "Yes, we're in a freaking mission, so will you stop yelling and informing our rivals that we are currently in this spot."
Your tensed shoulders slowly calmed down, realizing how dumb of you to act like that. Yixing hand's remain over your mouth while his lips is still close to your ears.
You find it absolutely uncomfortable so you politely looked away as it was his turn to realize what was happening and shyly move back.
"Uhh.. I'm.." There was an awkward pause from you. "I was wonder--"
You choked after realizing something in this quiet interaction.
They are all staring at you and despite the darkness, you can feel how intense they are. Not because of anything, but because just like you, they are awkward as hell.
You slowly sit upright and blinked your eyelids, not really being able to process what's happening.
The guys are no longer looking mad nor questioning you because it seems like it finally sink in to them that it was you.
Worriedly, you cleared your throat and reminded them. "I thought you guys will be late up to something?"
"O-Oh, right." Junmyeon grabbed the steering wheel and was too unfocused that he suddenly don't know how to drive. He slammed the control out of frustration. "Ah! Yoon Y/N, why are you in here?!"
You flinched from the sudden change of his attitude.
Sehun sighed. "Junmyeon is asking. What was the reason behind all of this?"
A quiet response can only be received by them. "I can't tell."
They all suddenly pondered, Jongin leading. "Why? Why can't you tell?"
"Because.." You stretched your arm and pointed at Tao who's just as near you for he was second to the last to enter the car earlier. "He said not to tell me anything."
Everyone's head jumped from you to Tao. The man now who's in a hot seat freaked out.
His innocently curious eyes turned surprised. "What?! Yah! When did I told you that?!"
"You just said to me earlier not to say anything when we meet the guys?" You raised your brow, getting into an argument.
Tao was about to release his frustrated and irritated complaint then realize something. He scooted back and facepalmed. "Fine. I remembered it now, but this is not what I meant. I mean not to make questions as soon as we arrive here."
"Ah.." You gulped. "I'm not gonna ask anything in the first place."
"And why is that? Aren't you curious what planet are you in? Why are you being so casual?" Kyungsoo sighed as loud as he can. "This is pissing me off."
"Because.. I simply just wanna go home." You fiddled with your finger. "But I'll stay quiet here if you're up to something."
The guys, especially Yixing, easily notices that something is wrong. You are oddly calm and reserved.
Perhaps, because your heart isn't.
Your heart is troubled by the fact that you are in a Mission. That you are in a dangerous situation, although it never bothers you before.
