“Is this a routine procedure or something?”  Woohyun whispers to Sunggyu next to him, eyeing the gun held in Sunggyu’s hands in front of them.

“Think of it as training.  It’ll be over in a few minutes, don’t worry,” Sunggyu whispers back, assuring Woohyun that the situation they’re in should be considered normal.  Absolutely normal.

That is, being stuffed under a desk, on your knees and crammed in body next to your partner who’s adamant that he needs to shoot whoever walks in—then yes, it’s absolutely normal.

Woohyun wasn’t sure how exactly it happened, but he had just delivered Jung his donuts before the elder snickered, telling him to get ready for a “fire drill.” He thought it was odd to be having a fire drill at six-something in the morning, but he just shrugged it off absent mindedly.  Then he was telling Sunggyu in their shared office how weird it is for them to be having a fire drill so early, and the next thing he knows he was yanked under the desk, the lights going off, and a siren hollering in the building.

Sunggyu slaps his chest with a thick stack of sheets.

“What’s this?”

“My notes for where we’re going today.  Sit at your desk and scan them over before Jung comes to pick us up.”

“Okay…” Woohyun trails off, taking the stack and dropping his body in his creaking chair.
