He clenched his teeth together, angry because it was true and it angered him more because she was one that said it. Her expression softened, he could feel worry and sadness, but she was also hopeful. For what? Did she want him to deny it? Even though she would know it was lie? Or would it be?
Jonghyun looked at her hand, it was balled into a fist at her side and when he looked back she was about to cry. No matter that their bond was weak, it was getting stronger. He could tell because what he could see and feel from her was really setting him on edge. He didn’t want her to feel this way and he didn’t know how to fix it. He wasn’t just angry now, he was disappointed and resentful.
Damn Jessica. Damn this girl. Fuck bonds. Fuck all this shit. He just wanted to go back to just Minho and him and how he could just boss the baby around all day. Hell, fuck everything, he wanted to go back to being drunk in bars and wondering what underpass looked the warmest for sleeping. But then Sayu would never have been Sayu like she was to him.
She turned to leave the kitchen, but Jonghyun took her hand and pulled her into him. He hugged her tightly until she returned the hug, until he felt like she was better. Then he pulled her out at arm’s length to look into her eyes and said, “Fuck you.” She looked at him blankly for a second and then laughed a little. He continued, “You don’t get to decide what the fuck is better for everyone and not about something as stupid as you dying for it.”
Jonghyun pushed her lightly and she took a few steps away from him, “Remember how we both agreed you were smart or something? Well this is insanely idiotic and fuck you for making me think it was the only thing we could do.”
“Oh? What’s your plan then?” She wasn’t offended, she was more curious than anything and amused.
Jonghyun shrugged, “Kill Jessica.”
Sayu crossed her arms and shook her head, “No, I want to learn more first, there might be a better solution. This seems awfully elaborate for a revenge scheme.”
“Who the fuck cares? Off the bitch and be on our way.”
She shifted where she stood, “So far you have failed to change my mind.”
“I can make you not go.” He glared at her to be convincing.
She mused, “True, or you could require I have some sort of protection.”
“Like what.” He didn’t really like the sound of where this was going.
“I can’t ask because then I won’t be able to lie about it, but if you do then I can be more convincing.”
He rolled his eyes, “Still fucking clueless here.”
Sayu smirked and shrugged her shoulders, “Ask Taemin to spy.”
