Minho’s eyes widened, he had half a mind to jump over the next balcony and trap the boy, but he remained calmed, calculating. Taemin stood looking ahead of him, he seemed serene, small puff of steam coming out of his pouty lips, and then a smile graced them.

“What are you doing here?”

Taemin turned a meaningful look at Minho, who remained silent with an intense look in his eyes, that only caused Taemin to chuckle, what a sound, Minho had to fight the urge to shiver, this boy was a menace as angelic as he looks, and Minho has been proved time again that looks don’t matter.

“Don’t be so shocked, I was planning on leaving, but… let’s just say a certain someone caught my eye”

Taemin moved closer the railing next to Minho’s balcony, they were separated by a good meter, he leaned and looked down, 5 stories high, a good fall, then he looked up to Minho, he stepped a few away and ran for it, Minho could only stare in shock as the boy jumped over to his balcony.

“What the are-oomph!”

Minho lay on the floor with Taemin on top of him; he was shocked when he heard a fit of laughter

“Well, can’t say I expected to make it, but I can’t complain on my landing”

Taemin chuckled some more before getting up, extending his hand to an bewildered Minho, he hesitated a moment before slapping the hand away and standing up, his heart was pounding on his chest, his seen this done a lot of times, and he has seen people plummet down for miscalculating, both agents and criminals, but never before did he react so strongly.

“Hey are you okay? You look pale, maybe-“

Taemin was cut short by a gun pointed his way; he lifted his hands, palms facing out

“Whoa, wait, I’m not armed and I mean no harm”

“Yeah, tell it to someone who buys it, now turn and place your hands behind your head, now!”

Taemin did as told, Minho got closer and searched the boy, and sure enough he had nothing on him, he had to admit he was surprise, what was Taemin up to? He put his gun away and sighed, Taemin turned slowly facing Minho

“Told you”

“What are you up to? Does someone know you’re here?”

Then it hit Minho, his head snapped to the street, Taemin would not be here alone! What an idiot! He immediately grabbed Taemin by the shoulder and pushed him inside closing the window and curtains. How did he not think of it? If they were being watched, what’s to say there isn’t a sniper with a rifle aimed at his head? Or someone recording them, making it seem they know each other? It was a known rule to never let your guard down. Taemin stumble inside and came to an abrupt halt when Minho grabbed him the neck pinning him down to the floor while he placed a knee on his mid back, reaching to turn off the lamp

“Seriously? I thought we went through this, not that I mind having you on top”

Minho rolled his eyes, and cautiously stood up, when Taemin made to move he place the gun on his head

“Don’t move”

Taemin sighed and laid there, Minho without moving the gun from Taemin’s direction, slowly made his way to the window and peeked outside, trying see if he spotted any one

“There’s no one outside, I came alone”

Minho did not move from his stance and when he was done he turned to the body on the floor, Taemin lay there with a bored expression

“What do you want? You wouldn’t come here alone”

Taemin sat up, stretching his arms and rolling his head

“Well, yeah I wouldn’t but I manage, finding where you stay was not that hard actually, especially with the extra help we’re getting-“

“What?!”

Minho walked towards Taemin in 3 quick strides grabbing him by the collar and yanking him up

“Who is it?!”

“Now, now, really you’re so violent”

Minho snarled at the boy, his grip tightening, Taemin could not help but to think he looked incredibly hot when angered and even more up close, he just smiled as sweetly as he could, and watched in amusement how Minho’s gaze faltered, Taemin took advantage of his position and grabbed Minho’s fore arm with both his hands and leaned closer, a teasing sparkle in his eyes

“Not that I mind rough”

Minho blinked twice before he could register a pair of soft lips on top of his, lips that molded perfectly to his, after a few seconds he pulled away letting Taemin go, the kid stood unfazed, while Minho had an incredulous look on his face

“W-what was t-that?”

“A kiss”

Taemin cocked his head a little, enjoying Minho’s reaction, the older shook his head, closing his eyes momentarily, what was up with this kid? He opened his eyes when he heard a small chuckle

“Oh come on, it was a little one, it wasn’t that bad, at least I enjoyed it”

“I don’t know what your deal is, but I’m done with your games, either you tell me what you want or I’ll shoot you in the spot”

Minho practically yelled at him, bringing his gun up again, Taemin sighed, looking away momentarily

“Fine, I’ll make a deal with you, for every ambush you make, I’ll leave a clue as to where to find the next one, or where to find ‘El Salvaje’”

Minho looked intensely at Taemin, without lowering the gun

“For what?”

“Protection”

Minho looked puzzled, didn’t this kid want money? This seemed sketchy

“From what?”

Taemin sat on the edge of the bed unfazed by the fact Minho ad a gun aimed in him, he simply crossed his legs and looked him in the eye.

“When all goes down, I want to be able to walk away, just that, I’ll help you catch him in exchange of my freedom”

“Why would you do that? And how can I trust you?”

Taemin mulled things over he sighed and looked away, a distant look on his face

“I’ve someone to protect, someone I cherish more than my life… as for the trust part, then we’ll both have to risk it, huh? I mean if I help you, who’s to say you won’t lock me up? Besides it will help us both to get rid of him”

“Why not tell me now? Tell me where he is, and this thing can end tonight”

Taemin shook his head

“He’s got far too many allies, and a huge security network, if I could I would have done it myself, but I can’t, that’s why I require your help, I can’t ask of this to any in the group, they’ll snitch just to get in his favor, and I can’t afford to get caught”

Minho stood in silence his hands lowering a little, he looked at Taemin and he felt he was telling the truth, he got great instincts, that’s why he always followed his gut

“Take the moles down then, then I’ll make a deal”

“Oh but I can’t, it’ll be too suspicious, we’ll have to work around them, besides you got a mole of your own, and who’s better than ‘El Salvaje’ right man?”

Taemin grinned at Minho, standing up and stepping close to him, honestly hoped Minho would make the deal, Minho was seriously considering it, and could he risk doing this? He remembered what his father used to say “The world is for the risk takers” but there’s a difference between that and recklessness

“Okay, deal”

Taemin smiled and extended his arm to him offering his hand, Minho put the gun away and  grabbed his hand and shook it once,  when Taemin made to leave Minho gripped it tight and pulled him close to him, face barely inches away from the boy

“Do anything shady and I will shoot you in the spot”

“Scary”

Minho let go of him and stepped back, Taemin had an playful look on his face, Minho almost found it irritating that all seem like a game to the kid, he watched as the boy his lips and he could not help but to follow that wet muscle over those plump lips

“Good, first clue, Guillermo Escobar, look it up”

Minho frowned in confusion, who was that? Another dealer they’re meant to catch? Taemin made his way to the entrance door and opened it

“Wait, who is it?”

“Look it up”

Taemin smiled and winked at the confused man, he closed the door behind him making his way out of the hotel into the night, he really was looking forward to how this deal will unfold, he really wanted ‘El Salvaje’ gone. Taemin looked up the starry night and smiled.

“It’s all for you sister”
