Yixing was fuming when Minseok and Jongdae returned to the base. Neither of them had been injured further, but the doctor was furious at Kris for going against his orders and sending them out on a job without his go ahead. His tipping point was when Kris ordered Jongdae to go out again - this time with Baekhyun - so he could run some of his own errands. But Yixing definitely wasn’t happy and took his gun from him. Nobody left the base without a gun, mission or not, so Kris was stuck for the day. 

Misook bumped into him just as she was leaving her room with a stack of DVD’s cradled in her arms. 

“Hey, is Jongdae about? I thought he might need some chill time,” she said, gesturing to the DVD’s. 

“He’s out,” Kris answered her. She frowned.

“Again? Didn’t Yixing ban him from leaving?” 

“No,” Kris lied, “there was another job that needed doing.”

Misook didn’t believe him in the slightest but decided to let it go. 

“Alright, seeing as my original film partner isn’t here, would you care to join me?” 

Kris appeared taken aback by the request, but nevertheless, he accepted the request and followed her through to the lounge. 

He didn't notice at first, but as the movie went on Misook's fingers gradually began drawing circles on the upper half of his thigh; absentmindedly or not Kris didn't know, but he was now having a hard time focusing on what the characters on screen were doing. Deciding to watch a romantic comedy alone with a girl would probably come back to bite him in the later, but who was he to say no. She wanted to watch a movie, and her intended movie buddy had been sent out on a deal. Kris should've been leading the deal, but Yixing had ordered him to stay at home after the ambush. An injured back wasn't going to do him any good if the enemy opened fire, and even though his back no longer hurt as bad as it had done, he wasn't going to defy the only doctor he trusts with his life - even if he did defy his orders and send out two injured operatives. 

His attention moved back to the movie when Misook moved her fingers away, but the moment was short lived when she readjusted herself so her head was in his lap. He wasn't sure where to put his hands. 

He swallowed. She didn't f
