"this feels so weird in my ear."

"you have fifty different piercings, kai. how does an earpiece feel weird?"

"it just does, ok?? now. what exactly am i supposed to be doing again?"

"are you joking??? how could you forget already?!"

"i'm not stupid, heeseung! i know what i need to do but i just wanted to clarify. you know. just in case."

the pink haired boy rolled his eyes but nevertheless crouched down beside the younger, readjusting the strap of his rifle.

"wait for ej to give you the signal. then go in through there," he pointed to a door leading to the complex that hongjoong's crew had only recently escaped from. "you won't be alone, don't worry. i'll be a little ways behind you and the other units will be on either side. this is the only entrance and exit to the complex above ground. honestly, no one has any idea about his underground tunnels and where they lead. but if they end up leading out here, there'll be a few of us stationed here too."

a muscle in kai's jaw twitched as he looked at the door. when he didn't say anything, heeseung continued on with his relay of instructions.

"yes, yes. i get it," he said, waving a hand dismissively. "what after?"

"once we get you guys out, you go back to the ship. that's it. there's no reason for you to stay longer. got it?"

the younger boy nodded.

a crackling noise made itself audible to both the boys as they hid behind some flora. ej's voice played through their earpieces.
