thirty - one

Minju stares worriedly at the male who isn't even eating as they both sit quietly in the room together. The bento box with delicious food does not tempt Jeno at all as he wonders deeply about the issue regarding his cousin. Minju asks carefully as she places her chopsticks onto the table, "Are you okay?" 

Jeno does not hear this question at all since the question barely even makes it into his ear to comprehend. Minju realizes that the other is not focused before she sighs to herself and stands up. She gets a cup of cold water and sips it quietly as she hands Jeno one as well. The other finally snaps out of it when she does, taking the water from her hands and sips it quietly as well. The room is still silent as one can hear the loud complaints coming from a different office across the room. 

Jeno finally speaks up as he decides on something, "I will put Jisung with you. I think it's best if I stay in the office." 

Minju grunts and shakes her head as a response as she angrily replies, "You heard what the doctor said. You need a break." 

"I can't get a break right now." 

"You aren't even given a case. That means you can rest."

"You don't fucking understand." 

Jeno angrily glares back at the other before realizing how harsh he sounds. Minju's eyes widen in shock as she doesn't know how to respond to his anger as Jeno buries his face within his hands as he feels the stress rising within his forehead, causing some form of pain that he didn't want to experience. The emotions are slowly coming back but they aren't positive. 

Minju clears her throat before cleaning up the area without another word. She is upset as well, misunderstanding the whole situation...maybe Jeno is pushing her away because what Yeji said was 100% true. She didn't need to invest further into the conversation as she stands up with the trash and throws it away in the trashcan. She turns her head to face the other before replying back quietly, "Okay, I will be with Jisung." 

She leaves without another word as the silence sinks deeper into Jeno's stomach. It causes an uneasy feeling within his body as he feels sick to the point that he wishes he can throw everything up. For the past year, this feeling never erupted within him; now he can feel the uneasiness that he is able to understand when someone is nervous. He realizes his mistake, but he decides to not follow after Minju. 

He quietly stares at the back-view of her before sighing deeply under his breath to mentally punch himself. But he knows...that this is all for the better. 

It is all for the better.

For the next few days, Jeno stays within the office once more which worries every single member within the team. Jisung is over at Minju's only during the night as she busies herself with work as well. He immediately senses an uneasy feeling between the two people but he does not question it as he didn't want to know the details of it all. The movie shooting will begin within a week, and Jeno decides to train himself to become better and in order to help Minju later for the shoot. He knows that it is going to be an awkward mess but he doesn't want to get that way in his understanding of why his cousin is involved. 



Taemin opens the door to his office as he wanders around the hallways as he waits patiently for his friend to arrive. There are screams all around as he smirks devilishly at the pain that is being presented in front of his desk. He kneels at the sight of seeing one of his client begging to be saved. 

"I promise to pay back the money..please save me..." 

"I heard that promise years ago.. It doesn't work now and it will never work later. And besides, I'm not God. I can never decide what's the best for my clients when they lie every single time about paying back money..." 

Taemin laughs with eager soon after he slams the client's head against the desk as he dies right there on the scene. Briskly dusting his hands against his own jacket, he takes off his leather black jacket and throws it onto the floor where it covers the blood and body that is left as a result. He cracks his knuckles soon after he groans, calling John to hurry into his room as he does so. 

John trudges inside with his men as he demands them to clean up the mess of it all. Taemin stretches his neck to get a good massage as he looks over at John with a crooked smile, "Another client checked off today." 

"Any more clients?" 

"No, just keep an eye on your own client..she should be here by any time now." 

The body gets perfectly covered as the office is now spotless clean without any stains nor evidence of a murder that just took place. There is a silent knock on the door as the secretary informs of a visitor. Taemin beams with excitement as he orders for some cake and ice coffee to be brought into his office as the two sit down on the chairs comfortably for their guest's arrival. 

The door opens dramatically as a new light of evil shines through. One can hear the loud clicks of her red high heels as she walks inside with excitement and determination for her revenge. Taemin crosses his legs and folds his hands in order to position himself as the higher being that he is. John fixes his hair as he turns his head and attention to the lady who stands in front of them as she plays with her long locks within her skinny, long fingers. 

"Welcome, I missed you babe." 

"Hi, it's been awhile oppa." 

"Our Xiyeon looks so beautiful as always." 

Xiyeon takes a seat down across them as the cake and ice coffee is being served as a tea party for the dark, mysterious atmosphere between them all. She nods and flashes a bright grin in response to his flirtatious manner as she replies with a serious tone soon after, "Enough talk..let's get down to business."
