"Affirmative," Taemin says to the Commander through earpiece while running towards the double doors. As one of the elite members of Special Weapons and Tactics, Taemin has his own ways to approach the terrorist spot, and one of his ways is to follow the Commander orders diligently. Do not make any hasty moves, that is what Taemin always keep in his mind, the reason why he still standing and breathing, alive. In his hand, fully reloaded M4A1 Carbine directly aims any enemies in front of him. The 5.11 Tactical MOLLE Gear VTAC LBE Vest along with Deagle , diffuser kit, grenades and others are safely attached and secured around his body. As he runs with the heavy weapons and equipments, sweats trickle down his forehead. With his petite body, surprisingly he withstand the loads.

 

 

 

"Negative sir, we should storm the front!" a voice can be heard clearly through the earpiece. He recognises that voice very well, and the owner is no one else but that his dear. This person, Taemin knows that he is headstrong and intractable, he is Minho. But his skills and bravery in battlefield, can never be compared with other members. His mentor is no other than the Commander himself, only wisdom is not completely there yet. "No, fall back!" The Commander order is clear and obvious that storming the terrorists in their spot is not a good idea. Knowing Minho, Taemin worries. The boy hasten his steps.

 

 

 

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!!" Minho throws the HE grenade right at the opening. Taemin arrives at the time to assist Minho. Thank god, Taemin have two other members with him. Not long after that, the rest of the team are backing them up. Without any hesitations, they pull the triggers and the battlefield becomes deafening with the shootings and counter shootings. "Report in team!" Commander's tone reminds everyone how furious he is now. The situation is not good, their numbers exceed more than what they had predicted in the last strategy meeting. "There're too many of them!" Taemin informs his superior, he retreats a few steps from the scene and hide behind the wall, he takes his opportunity to reload his gun.

 

 

 

"Fall back, team! Fall back!" Minho shouts, two of the valuable team members are shot down, too many blood has spill from their injuries. Taemin enters the battlefield once again, he shoots down as many terrorist as possible. With his help, other team members are able to retreat safely, although some of them are injured. The commander arrives at the scene, he too joins Taemin with intention to help his subordinates. 'FALL BACK AND REGROUP!' Commander gives out his order firmly. Slowly, Taemin retreats, his fingers still pulling triggers at each of the terrorists he aims. At that time, Taemin realizes, Minho is still there and the bomb has been planted.

 

 

 

"Minho! What are you doing? Retreat now! Didn't you hear what the Commander says?" Taemin says to Minho through his earpiece, he receives no reply though. He sees Minho seems to be troubled retreating with the enemies shooting nonstop. Taemin hasten his feet to Minho's side, he can't lose him, he knows Minho is too dear to him. "Minho! Are you okay?" Taemin now stands right beside him, Taemin hearts quickens more when he realizes Minho's trouser drenches with blood. Minho's left leg is injured, shot by a nefarious enemy. "Taemin! I'm sorry! I'm okay, I just can't get away from them. If I stop shooting, they'll.."

 

 

 

A shot echoes,

 

 

 

Taemin falls lifelessly next to Minho. A clean shot on Taemin's forehead, and that takes Taemin away from Minho, forever. That realization hits Minho hard, he can't move, he can't even think. Minho is no longer pulling his trigger, he is vulnerable. He can't even feel pain in his leg anymore. "Taemin.." Minho lets go of his AUG, and kneel next to Taemin. "Taemin.. No.." Minho takes off his gloves hastily and touches Taemin's cheek, he can still feel Taemin's warmth. Minho breathes hard, trying to hold his tears back, but he couldn't. Minho can hear callings from his back, his team and Commander screaming at him, wanting him to retreat and leave Taemin alone. Minho didn't budge, he don't want to leave Taemin there.

 

 

 

The Commander runs towards Minho as he shoots some of the terrorist down. His motive is no other than to bring Minho back to the rest of the team. Minho is within his reach now, he takes out a smoke grenade from his equipment bag and pulls the pin before throwing it. White smoke fills the area within a small perimeter of the battlefield. He grabs Minho's hand, trying to force Minho to stand up realizing that the boy's leg is injured, " Now Minho! Let's get out of here!" the Commander insist Minho to get up and leave Taemin. Minho looks at the Commander with bewildered eyes, clearly trying to protest, "No! I can't leave Taemin here! We have to save him too!" Minho draws his arm away with force from his superior. "Taemin is dead Minho! We can't save him! Only you who can be save right now!" His superior screams at his face.

 

 

 

"No.. Taemin is not dead! He.. He still can be save.." Minho hugs Taemin tenderly. Taemin shows no sign of him still breathing. A shot on the head will takes away anyone's life, Minho knows that. When he tries to deny it, the more he convince Taemin has left him. "Commander.. I.. I can't just leave him here.." Minho says to his Commander. The Commander kneels next to Minho, he notices Minho tears because he knows how much Minho loves Taemin. Leaving Taemin on the battlefield like this is the last thing that this boy would do. There is no other choice, he has to save Minho, Taemin will want that too.

 

 

 

The smoke cover is no longer there. Both of them can be seen by their enemies and there is a high possibility that both of them can never get out of there alive. Fortunately, other members of the team that can still move and attacks come and back them up. They don't have much time left. The Commander, who is more like a father to Minho, grabs Minho's shoulder to face him, "Listen Minho! You have to get out of here! Think of Taemin, he will want you to get out of here too! And we don't have much time left boy, we have to get moving, now!"

 

 

 

Minho's breathing is hard with his tears fall on Taemin's cheek as he once again hugs Taemin tenderly. He wipes away the tears on Taemin's face with his thumb and take a good look of his lovely Taemin. A very, last good look. He places a kiss on Taemin's forehead and the Commander pulls Minho's hand and this time Minho didn't protest. All he knows that Taemin is getting far and further away. Another smoke grenade is being thrown and Minho closes his eyes, forever leaving Taemin.

 

 

 

As soon as they get out of there, the building explodes. As it consumes in a big fire, Minho just stands there and watches the flame takes away everything. His Taemin.

 

 

 

"Good Bye.."
