two worlds: jaeyong

"and jaehyun doesn't even try to be discrete about when staring at taeyong. or taeyong always talking about how cute jaehyun is."

"but they're happy," taeil smiles. "that's all i want my friends to be."

"so... uhm," doyoung clears his throat. "have you ever dated anyone?"

"no, although i did go on a few blind dates here and there. that's actually how i met jungwoo. a friend set us up but both of us knew it wasn't going to go further so now, we're just close friends. how about you?"

"never had the time. i was always working and studying and in the end, when i did become head of my department, i became even busier."

"that's boring," taeil thought about another question to ask. "how about this, did you have any crushes?"

"no, never had the time to pay attention," doyoung stood up with his empty plate. "although, you're starting to gain my attention lately."

and how red taeil's face became when hearing that.

"i think i can confidently say that was the best lunch i've eaten since forever," taeyong patted his stomach slightly. both males were outside drinking from their paper cups of coffee.

"grandmother always makes sure to feed us a lot when we visit, it's her instinct she said," jaehyun laughs. "so you needed to go to the bank?"

"yeah, i have a payment due tomorrow so i have to do it from here i guess."

"the bank is that blue building, just let me drop some things into the car and then i'll catch up."

taeyong nods and starts jogging to the building. jaehyun then heads to the car and places the package of food in the backseat. but when coming out, his sight is caught by an unusual spectacle.

"why is he here?" the soldiers to himself. he blinks once, twice, and the same person is there. the same person the police had arrested from the site of the accident. the same person they found for weapon smuggling.

the brunette man then turns and sees jaehyun, giving a small smirk before giving a small wave. jaehyun reaches for his gun, in case but then another face stops himself.

(underlined means speaking in English) 

"well, well, jeffery, haven't you grown?"

"what are you doing here?" jaehyun spats out. "and why are you with that crook?"

the first person lunges forward but is stopped by his boss.

"oh, you didn't know? he's under me."

the korean's fist clenches hard as reality starts to open up in front of his face.

"you see, jaehyun, chasing the bad guys was for a while," arnold steps forward towards where the captain is standing. "but after a while, i realized that it doesn't mean much. sure, i'm helping others but what about myself? it's not benefiting me. but now, being the bad guy is so much better. i'm at the top, the predator with so much power, you wouldn't believe what i'm capable of."

jaehyun felt as if he'd been slapped. this is the same man he had looked up to at west point, the same person he had gone on countless missions. the same mentor who had helped him so much to build up his own strength. but now, here he is, standing in front of him as the enemy.

"don't come closer," he takes out his gun and immediately, the other people do the same. jaehyun against the team of arnold.

"jaehyun, it's still me. c'mon, it's still private ryan," arnold smirks while saying this.

"no, the private ryan i know wouldn't betray his own like this," the captain carefully aims his gun at where arnold but at the last second, changes his target to a vase. an echo from the shot rings and his opponents flinch.

"next time i see you, i won't be so lenient towards you," jaehyun puts the weapon back into it's case. "i already know about the situation with the police."

"don't worry, we'll hide away from you well," and with the flick of his wrist, he walks down the street, with his lackeys following after.

and jaehyun, he just stands there, in shock by what just happened.

"jaehyun," taeyong runs to where the male is standing and looks all over. "i heard a gun shot and rushed over, are you ok?"

the soldier snaps out of his daze and puts on a small smile.

"yeah, i'm fine. we should go, it's going to be dark if we don't leave now."

nodding, he follows the taller but he knew that there was something else he was hiding. something that happened while he was gone.
