song recommendation:
stranger in a strange land His heart was hammering against his ribcage. His hunted breath shattered through the silence. The gun in his hand was shaking as he clenched the handle, slipping his finger on the trigger. Outside, footsteps grew louder and his breath stuck in his throat. The room in which he was hiding held a dim light, casting through the little milky window in the door.
He was sent here to investigate together with Kibum. They were told to get more information about the enemy’s secret program. Together they accomplished quite a lot, becoming close with the quarter captain, never drawing attention. They even became part of the special unit all while keeping constant contact to the base station. However, as the time went on, Kibum started behaving strangely and Minho got suspicious. The former distanced himself from Minho, kept secrets and started to forget the daily report.
Now Minho cowered in this dark room, hoping not to be found because as it turned out: Kibum was a double agent working for the enemy. He betrayed Minho, his comrades and his country. It also was Kibum who leaked the information of Minho being a hostile agent. This bastard. Minho had trusted him with his live…
The opening door ripped him out of his thoughts. Several men entered the room, their boots making heavy noises. Minho crouched further down, as small as possible, holding his hand against his mouth so his breathing wouldn’t give him away. His hearing sensitized to the maximum as he noticed the much lighter steps he knew so well. Kibum had entered the room.
“Found him?” His unique voice spoke in a superior tone. The men answered in one-word sentences, showing slight fear. They knew that Kibum could be terrifying if he wanted to and no one wanted to be at his mercy when he was. Minho’s blood was pulsing in his ears and he hoped for Kibum not to find him, once again. After a few seconds of total silence they left the room, leaving Minho behind. He hesitantly turned around to be absolutely sure they left.
The footsteps faded out and after additional five minutes Minho opened the door. He stepped outside into an empty floor. Being caught right now would ruin everything. Everything he had beed working on for two year together with Kibum. He still couldn’t believe he had betrayed him. Without making any sound he hurried forward to the next corner, right into Kibum’s arms.
“Where to?” The blond smirked at him and spun his hunting knife.
“Back off!” Minho lifted his gun, glaring at Kibum who didn’t look too impressed. But to his surprise the latter just did that, stepping aside giving Minho a free way to escape. Kibum gestured Minho to leave. What? What was going on? Not giving much more thought to it Minho started running, only a few seconds till he was out. He didn’t look back, not seeing the look Kibum wore as he looked after the tall guy running out of the devil’s den.
