Running out of Time - [part two]
“Nnn…Siwon! Press harder! Press---Siwon!! Go---faster! Faster!! Shit!!---SIWON!!!” Hangeng shouted.
.........
“Hangeng, no matter how hard I press or how fast I go…the light will still be red when I get there…”
The other was bouncing up and down in the passengers’ seat in anxiety. “This is your fault…if you would have just listened to me, we wouldn’t be in such a hurry!”
“Come on Hannie...you know you wanted it~ …Besides, I didn’t hear you complaining, did I?” Siwon said, smirking deviously. He had gotten what he wanted in the shower, and now they were blazing down the streets in attempt to reach their workplace on time [going the speed limit, of course~ DRIVE SAFELY EVERYONE! :D].
“I DID…you just chose to ignore me…” Hangeng mumbled, brooding in his seat.
“Tch…maybe once you protested…but you didn’t stop me~”
“…you’re awful…” Hangeng crossed his arms, pouting and scooting as close to the door away from Siwon as possible.
He just smiled and shook his head. “Sometimes, it’s hard to believe you’re older than me…you’re such a woman~”Siwon teased.
Hangeng just muttered incoherent Chinese in his seat, glaring at the road ahead of them.
“You know you love me…”
“Do I have a choice?” he was still glowering forward.
“I love you…” Siwon said, reaching his right hand to hold Hangeng’s while his left remained on the steering wheel.
Hangeng sighed in defeat and shook his head.
...
“I love you too…” Traces of a smile played with the corners of his lips.
-|-|-|-
“Look at that---! With ten minutes to spare! Am I good or what?” Siwon boasted, punching the Chinese man’s shoulder lightly.
“You’re the best…” Hangeng's voice dripped with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes. “Come on, Mr. Big Shot, we have to go save Korea now…”
Siwon stuck his tongue out at the back of his elder’s head, and then caught up with him.
The two greeted their superiors - basically the only people positioned higher than themselves. They were the ones upstairs; the ones that had the other government connections, to call for additional backup support if necessary. They made sure SACPA operations ran smoothly.
Other than them, the headquarters were absent of other members.
Just a few minutes later, Cho Kyuhyun arrived.
“Ah! Siwon! Hangeng! Annyeonghaseyo!” he greeted them. He was SACPA’s technical expert.
“Hey, Kyuhyun. Not much work lately, huh?” Hangeng asked. The three of them were very close, and always casual around each other.
“I’ve noticed that too…I haven’t been able to pick up any computer threats lately, and our undercover patrol has been silent, as well…” Kyuhyun noted.
“Mm…too quiet for me…I’ve been sleeping too soundly these past few nights, and now I’m starting to worry…” Siwon said with a frown.
“Ha! You? Sleeping soundly?? Hangeng---I’m surprised! With a man like Siwon, I’d expect you’d be demanding action every night~!” Kyuhyun joked, and Hangeng almost choked on his coffee.
“Ah…only you would say something like that at work, Kyuhyun…” he shook his head, and Siwon chuckled.
“...Actually, everything we do is according to his schedule…” Hangeng added, gesturing toward Siwon.
Korea’s best agent sighed. “What can I say? I’m a man.”
Kyuhyun nodded. “I’m the same…in my relationship, I wear the pants…”
“Oh? You’ve got someone now? Who’s the lucky man, Kyuhyunnie?” Siwon asked teasingly.
“Ah…someone…” he said with a grin.
“…YAH! Wait a minute, wait a minute! And just what are you two trying to say about me, huh?!” Hangeng protested, not dropping the previous subject.
“Ah! Don’t get me wrong! I don’t think you’re any less of a man because you don’t top~” Kyuhyun said, just digging himself a deeper hole as Hangeng glared at him. But he knew he was joking.
“I’m just saying…ALL of us, as men, have our needs. You know what I mean…”
“Alright---enough of this…other members are coming in…” Hangeng said, and that was the end of that.
-|-|-|-
After everyone had settled in, the day began as usual…
…until something swerved everything into the wrong direction.
“Siwon! Where’s Siwon?! Someone---! Find him for me!” a frantic Kyuhyun cried, tearing across the headquarters trying to reach his superior.
He finally caught him.
“Kyuhyun, what’s the matter? You look as though you’ve seen a ghost!” Siwon said, getting worried.
“Shit, Siwon---! We’re always the ones looking for trouble---I don’t---! How…? How could this have happened?! We’re---we’re---“
“Kyuhyun, calm down…breathe…now, tell us what happened.” Hangeng stepped in to help.
“We’re ones who are always trying to find the trouble…but this time---trouble’s found us!! They found us this time---!! They…they…!”
Siwon and Hangeng glanced at each other in nervous confusion.
“What do you mean, Kyuhyun? What’s happened??” Siwon asked.
“Siwon---! Our system---!”
“’Our system” …what??”
Kyuhyun took a deep breath…
“…we’ve been hacked!”
**…sorry for the extreme levels of FAGGOTRY in this chapter XD
I had to get it out of my system before it got too serious~ ...and it kind of increases the seriousness ^^;
this chapter was a bit too short for my liking... :\ it's ok, I guess...
it all goes downhill from here~ >:3**
