Chapter 14

Missing

                Terrah searched the wall around the key hole as Thunder checked the coat for anything hidden in the pockets. She knocked on the wall. “There is a room or something here…” she said as she tried to find the edges of the door. She couldn’t find them and the wall was thick metal with the cooling elements inside. They wouldn’t be able to break through the wall without ruining the fridges ability to work. The pink hair boy handed her the coat. “There isn’t anything in the pockets.”

                She sighed and tried to look through the key hole, it was dark. “This is so weird. So many locks and no keys…” she said laughing a bit at Thunder. He laughed and nodded. “It’s kind of exciting!” She smiled at him and nodded. “That’s what the twins told me about the pile in the basement.” His eyes lit up. “What pile?” She laughed and looked towards the door as Jonghyun and Hoon came in. “Ask the twins later. Jonghyun, there’s a keyhole on the wall. You wouldn’t have the key for this either would you?”

                Jonghyun stared at her confused as Hoon came to look at the wall. She smiled and sighed. “That’s what I thought. We can’t break this wall though, unless we want to destroy the fridge.” He sighed. “We can’t break it. We can just wait for Amber to come back to get in there.” They all nodded in agreement. Terrah didn’t think that Amber would be coming back. She did however think Ren would be back eventually.

                Thunder put the coat back where it was hanging as some of the kitchen workers came into the fridge. Terrah, Jonghyun and Thunder excused themselves and left Hoon and the staff to make dinner. They walked past the dining area and Terrah looked to see if that Krystal girl was still in there. She was. Krystal was glaring at her and almost as if on cue, Jonghyun moved some of Terrah’s hair off her bruised shoulder. “Using the torch didn’t make you hurt or anything did it?” He asked innocently. Terrah shook her head no as Krystal quickly turned away. She felt really bad about this, because that girl would still be here after Terrah leaves. Her job sometimes hurt people, but it was part of the job description. She needed to do whatever in her power to get the information she needed, including using people, good people.

                Back at Ren’s desk, Thunder sat down instead of following Jonghyun and Terrah into the common area. Jonghyun laughed. “You can come in if you like.” He nodded and followed in behind him. The twins were in there playing the Wii. Thunder looked around as Terrah sat down on the couch, followed by Jonghyun plopping down next to her. She smiled at the twins who half greeted her as they were playing. “Hey guys, we found a secret keyhole in the fridge.” Jonghyun said grinning at them.

                Both twins stopped playing simultaneously. “Is there some treasure behind it?!” Kwangmin asked excitedly. Youngmin laughed “Like the pile might have?” Thunder sat down on the pile of pillows by the bookshelf. “What is this pile you guys keep talking about?” he asked the twins. Suddenly both twins rushed over to him as they were telling him all about the pile of junk that kept getting bigger after they took stuff away and that it must be hiding something. Terrah didn’t mind them telling people now that Amber and Ren were missing.

                Jonghyun looked over at Terrah. “You told them there was treasure in the pile to make them excited to help you didn’t you?” he asked quietly enough for the babbling twins not to hear. Terrah just smiled at him and rested against the back of the couch. “Let’s watch a movie.” She said loud enough for the twins to hear.

                Kwangmin ran over to the couch and leaned over her shoulder. “Tell me more about the Keyhole!” She laughed and stood up, walking over to the shelf of movies. “I feel like watching a movie instead…” She sat cross-legged on the floor and looked over the movies. The twins sat down on the couch and Thunder brought some pillows to sit on the floor with. Terrah looked to the side to see if they were watching her. Jonghyun was watching but trying to hide it. She smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear.

                She heard Kwangmin complain as Jonghyun suddenly pushed him onto the floor. He had leaned forwards, blocking Jonghyun’s view of her. She found National Treasure on the shelf from 2004. She leaned back over her shoulder and smiled at the boys and held up the movie case. She saw Youngmin slowly scooting away from Jonghyun so he wouldn’t be shoved off the couch too. She held up the movie case. “I found one! Let’s watch this.”

                She handed it over to Kwangmin who put it into the Wii. She sat back down on the couch, between Youngmin and Jonghyun, sitting cross-legged again, making sure that her knee was lightly touching the older male. He immediately noticed, but didn’t move his leg away, instead he got comfortable against the back of the couch. Terrah laughed internally that only a few hours ago, he had asked her why she didn’t like Hoon.

                The movie started playing and Thunder and twins were very into the treasure hunting movie. Jonghyun seemed to be interested in the movie, but he didn’t move much, making sure that he never pulled his leg away from where Terrah’s was touching. She used this time to think over different plans on how to open that keyhole. She had decided that she would have to pick it, but would need to do it when no one saw her. She had already risked her cover by showing that she knew how to use the blow torch.

                Terrah sighed and straightened out her leg, leaving a gap of about five inches between her leg and Jonghyuns. She saw him tense up out of the corner of her eye. Jonghyun was the easiest boy to read that she had ever met. She wondered how long they would keep her supervised. Her injuries were not as bad as they thought. Her bruised rib had stopped hurting throughout the day. This wouldn’t even get her a sick day if she was doing office work at the BTSU headquarters. Suddenly she saw Jonghyun close the gap by about an inch. She smiled a bit and bit her lip lightly in case he was looking at her. He apparently was, his hand slowly slid off of his thigh into the gap between them.

                She decided to just let him continue with whatever he was trying to do. Continuing to think of her plans, as long as she was supervised, depending on who was watching her, her plans were different. If it was one of the twins or Thunder watching her, she would go down and work on the pile with them. If it was Jonghyun, she would keep trying to get information about the mysterious “Kwon” guy. When Hoon was watching her, she would use that time to figure out what kind of internal locking mechanisms were used in the keyhole so she could pick it without ruining it.

                Jonghyun lightly brushed his pinky finger against her thigh and she decided to take this where he wanted it. It would be much easier to ask him things. She pretended to yawn and closed her eyes, resting her head on the leaders shoulder. She felt his whole body tense up and then relax. She let her hand slowly slide down off of her lap and landed right next to his on the cushion. As expected, he slowly grabbed her hand. She thought it was kind of cute that he was 23 years old but flirted like a 15 year old boy.

                Now that she had decided on her plan of attack, she let herself actually relax against Jonghyun. To most people, he would be considered more physically attractive than Woosang. Just from leaning on him, she could feel how lean and muscular he was. Every single time she had to get close to someone like this for a mission, even if it was one of her partners, she found herself comparing them to Woosang.

                She must have been more tired than she had thought, because she was suddenly being woken up by Jonghyun. He had moved her onto his bed. “Terrah, it’s time for dinner. You slept through lunch. Do you hurt anywhere?” He asked as she sat up and looked around. “No, I don’t hurt.” She smiled at him. “Just a bit sleepy.” He nodded. “Let’s get some food into you. Hoony said that dinner today is chicken.”

                She laughed a bit and climbed out from under the blankets. “Sorry I fell asleep on you…” she said smiling awkwardly, looking like she was embarrassed. He just grinned at her. “Don’t worry about it. You can use me as a pillow whenever you like.” She laughed and nodded, following behind him towards the dining area.

                They sat down at their usual table. The twins were sitting there with Thunder, already eating and looking around for Heechul. He always seemed to come and take them around meal times. Thunder grinned at Terrah. “Good morning sleeping beauty. Does our leader make a good pillow?” he asked teasing her. She laughed as Jonghyun suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen. “He’s so easily embarrassed isn’t he?” Youngmin commented as they noticed the leaders’ ears were red.  The four of them laughed.

                Suddenly Krystal came and sat down at the table in the seat between Thunder and Youngmin. The boys all looked at her confused. Terrah just stared at her and blinked a couple times. The angry looking girl didn’t speak and just continued to glare at the white haired girl sitting across from her. Thunder looked at the twins who shrugged. He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Umm… Hello?” he said breaking the awkward silence.

                Krystal held her hand in front of his face. “I have no business with you, just with her.” The twins went back to eating but watched intently. Thunder just sat there confused, looking back and forth between the two girls.

                Terrah tilted her head a bit to the side and smiled at her. “Hello again, you seem to be talking to me a lot today.” Krystal nodded and leaned on her elbows on the table. “Where is Jjonggie-oppa?” she asked as Youngmin choked on his water at hearing the nickname. Terrah smiled and pointed towards the kitchen. They could see him in the kitchen door, talking to Hoon.

                Krystal smiled “Good. I don’t want him to hear this.” The three boys were now listening very intently, like they were watching a movie. Terrah smiled and messed with her long hair a bit. “Then let’s hear it.” The dark haired girl scoffed at her. “I told you this morning that he was going to be mine. Yet here you are again, showing up with him.” The boy’s jaws dropped. This was the first they heard about this.

                Terrah laughed and nodded. “Yeah. You told me to stay away from him. That’s kind of hard when I am kind of living in his room right now…” The younger girl glared at her then looked over at Thunder and looked him up and down. “Is he your new thing? Did you add him to your list of boys?” Terrah rested her chin on her hand. “These are the same insults as this morning. I haven’t slept with him, or Hoony, or the twins… Or even Jonghyun.” Thunder turned bright red and looked away as Youngmin looked shocked and Kwangmin burst out laughing. Krystal looked frustrated that nothing she could say was getting through to the older girl. She couldn’t break her.

                Terrah smiled and reached her hand across the table and set it on top of Krystal’s. “I’m sorry if I made you jealous. I wasn’t trying to. I just didn’t know how you felt. Is it me or Jonghyun you are jealous over?” She lightly brushed her thumb across the back of her hand.

                Jonghyun suddenly came back to the table and set down a plate next to Terrah and saw her touching Krystal’s hand. “Oh! Terrah, you made a new friend! That’s great.” He smiled and sat down next to Terrah with his own plate of food. “I think your name is Krystal right? You were friends with Amber. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to protect her… Hopefully Ren will find her and bring her back.” Krystal stared at Jonghyun with wide eyes and quickly pulled her hand away from Terrah, quickly leaving the dining area.

                Terrah couldn’t hold back her smile and looked down at her food to hide it. She had thought that Jonghyun was at least close to the girl. Thunder looked dumbstruck. “You really don’t talk to that girl?” He asked their leader. Jonghyun put some chicken in his mouth and shook his head. “No, should I have?” The twins started laughing. Kwangmin grinned at the older man. “We thought you knew her…. Jjonggie-oppa.”

                Jonghyun started choking on his chicken. Terrah patted his back for him. He looked at the dark haired twin. “Wha… What??” Youngmin grinned. “That’s what she called you when she was telling Terrah to stay away from you.” Jonghyun looked over at Terrah worried. She smiled back at him. Thunder leaned over to him. “She called her a too…”

                Jonghyun looked appalled and put his arm around Terrah. “Don’t worry about her. I will take care of it.” Kwangmin laughed. “I’m pretty sure Terrah already took care of it.” Youngmin smiled and nodded. “She totally won that one.”

                Hoon came and smiled at everyone as he sat down with his own food. “Hey, how is your rib doing Terrah? Feeling any better?” She nodded and ate some of her food. “I feel much better. The food is great Hoony.” He laughed a bit embarrassed. “I didn’t do it all myself. I only cooked the chicken.” She smiled across the table at him. Kwangmin looked at him. “Hoony! Did you know that Terrah is sassy?!” Hoon looked shocked as the twins explained what happened to him.

                Throughout dinner, Jonghyun and Hoon kept trying to give Terrah more food since she had missed lunch and they wanted to make sure she wasn’t hurt from Krystal. She kept giving the food back.

                After dinner, the kitchen staff told Hoon he didn’t have to stay for clean up, so everyone headed back to the common room. Jonghyun took Hoon into the bedroom and closed the door behind them. Terrah sat on the couch staring at the door, wondering why he was locking her out of the room he had forced her to move into. The twins sat on each side of her as Thunder leaned over the back of the couch, all staring at the door.

                Kwangmin rested his head on Terrah’s shoulder. “What do you think they are talking about?” Terrah didn’t have a chance before Thunder answered. “They are obviously discussing which one of them gets to be close to Terrah.” She sighed and closed her eyes. “Shouldn’t that be my choice?” Youngmin laughed and looked at her. “So which one do you like? Hoony or Jonghyun?”

                The three boys all looked at her curiously. She suddenly reached out and smooshed Youngmin’s cheeks between her hands. “Maybe I like you and your squishy face.” Thunder burst out laughing as the older twin was whining about his face. Kwangmin pouted. “Hey… I have the same face! We aren’t squishy!”

                Terrah turned around and did the same thing to the other twin’s face. The bedroom door opened and Jonghyun and Hoon came out, looking fine. Jonghyun sat on the floor in front of the couch as Hoon looked confused at Terrah squishing Kwangmin’s face. Thunder suddenly stood up and yawned. “It’s getting late. I will go back to my section now.” He said as he quickly left to avoid any further awkwardness.

                The door didn’t even close all the way before it opened again. Heechul was looking around the door and smiled when he saw the twins. “There you are. Boys, I need your help tonight. I’m changing my hair.” The twins sighed and nodded and followed him out, leaving Terrah alone with Hoon and Jonghyun.

                Both boys sat down on the free space on the couch. She looked back and forth between them. “So… What did you talk about in there?” Jonghyun grinned at her. “It’s a secret.” Hoon sighed. “It would be weird if we told you.” She smiled and nodded. Thunder had only been around them for a day and could already predict things like this. He would make a good agent, a better one than his sister anyways. She nodded. “Oh I see.”

                They sat there watching National Treasure again since it was already in the Wii. Terrah could feel the tension between them since they put her in the middle. She felt bad about it but she needed to be closer to Jonghyun now. Her mission with Hoon was over. She pretended to fall asleep again with her head leaning towards Jonghyun. Before the movie even ended, Hoon got up and went to his own room.

                Jonghyun turned off the movie and lifted Terrah up and put her in the bed, just like before. He covered her in the blankets and turned to leave. She suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand. “Don’t go. I want another pillow.”
