a SCOFF would break through the subtle awkwardness within the room once jumin heard the other’s poor excuse as to why he was there in the first place. as if elizabeth —– the feline that was currently hissing at the red-head —– would willingly ADMIT to missing being tormented like that. but rather than say anything on that matter , under the assumption that seven was using his usual humor to lighten the situation ——- the director would simply remain silent , eyes seeming to BORE into the hacker.
as expected , a more PROPER explanation was soon given , causing for jumin to life his now-weary gaze towards the ceiling. of course. luciel was a SKILLED individual —– far more talented than the majority of his own acquaintances. it was inevitable that he’d find SOME kind of lead regarding their uninvited guest , but even with that acknowledgement —— jumin felt an odd feeling begin to emerge from within his gut.
especially after hearing the other’s bold proclamation. mint-eye , hm ?
“ you’re not wrong. ” luciel wasn’t. they had little time to waste and they damn well couldn’t dwell on this issue for much longer , seeing the TOLL it already took on the RFA. “ but don’t you think that might be a bit hasty , even for someone like you ? ”
although his concern was GENUINE , jumin couldn’t seem to fully express it in his features or body language. instead , he’d keep his distance , keeping only his eyes on the hacker and in turn —– seeing the vulnerability written all over the other’s face. and in moments like these , the stone-hearted director could finally say that he understood what choi saeyoung was feeling.
the annoying techie and the cold businessman had a lot more in common than originally thought.
“ i’ll either send my bodyguards with you or just go along myself. if you really do care about yoosung and the others , then i suggest you come up with a more reasonable plan —– not one that involves putting only yourself in danger. ”
Adverting his eyes with a lift of his chin, he merely ignored the first remark. “Ohoho are you worried about little old me? There is nothing to worry about seeing as I was trained for situations like these” he responded with a vague smile, teasing curves tugging from the corner of his lips. A lithe finger rose to settle itself vertically above pallid tiers. Blinking from under long and thick lashes, slender fingers pulled over a pen from the edge of his desk. It was distinctive in his memories, and one that he remembered had been commissioned so very long ago, made from the finest ingredients. He has nightmares of the people he had killed even if they were horrible people. With a neutral expression upon his features, he leans forward, aurulent eyes steady and unwavering from his visage.
"I have learned how to kill people to prepare for my job , I’ve killed people.. some people were double my age with one goal set in my life to keep going. ” Earlier remunerations were echoed with a faint amusement. “I’m not someone you should bother worrying about.”
Lasting impressions were not often marked in his memorabilia, although it could be said otherwise the lives he’d once dipped upon. How cruel he might’ve seen to an outside observer. Would he admit any of these to the rest of the RFA? no. of course not, how would he explain all the blood that he had in his hand and how would Yooosung care for a person like him if he knew? But Jumin; he was different and he knew Jumin would understand for he knew the adult world and what it held. He was very undeserving of those people yet he yearned to talk to them and be among them. Starless eyes flitted around the junction, earnest in his search for a flicker of hope underneath the ruins of the situation. Wiry muscles tense underneath the fabric of his outfit;rash? was he being too rash?
“I put myself in danger every time i type a simple key, this is someone who tried to mess with those I care about. i haven’t been able to reach V but this can’t wait. If we waste any time they could move location and we’ll have to wait till they slip up again which could be too late. By then they could hurt someone or even detonate the bomb in the apartment. We both know about the bomb and if they hack into it then she’s a goner but if you have a better plan than giving me those dead weight bodyguards I’m all ears. .”
