Song: Oops !! ~ アプサ!! ~

 

 

He watched with keen interest and watchful eye as the target suspiciously pulled the door shut in slow motion and tip toeing his way in. The target obviously didn't notice his presence, or he wouldn't have entered so quietly. Quiet and Kwanghee just could never match even when the latter tries, he sneered to himself at the cringeworthy attempt.   "Look who decides to sneak into the office at night after being missing for the whole day."   "Yaaaaaaahhh!!!" Came the earth shattering exclamation in response. Strangely it didn't shock him one bit, having already expected it.   "Can't you get any louder?"   "K...Kevin?" He wasn't surprised. Kwanghee can be bipolar. In fact, he is, most time. Outside the office building, he was always so bold and shooting disgruntled, snarky or rude remarks, in the office, when he's with Siwan, he would just have a cold expression and glares but no words. Being inside the office without Siwan by his side though, made him so timid and self-conscious and vulnerable as could be seen now, Kevin decided.   His assumption was thrown off the loop though, when Kwanghee did the unexpected, unexpectedly.   Instead of timidly running away as what he estimated from his rival's sidekick, Kwanghee approached him instead, or more like, charged towards him, and pulled his necktie, forcing him to stood up from his seat.   "Bastard, tell me where you hid Siwan!" Despite still not being entirely intimidating, Kevin thought, as Kwanghee still managed to pushed back his slipping glasses back to its place, he still manage to came off as surprising.   Yet, not one who would admit defeat, especially not to someone he always called or treated as a loser, he remained calm despite worrying of being choked to death. 'He couldn't be that stupid to kill me. This wimp.'   "I should be the one to ask you that. Why didn't Siwan show up today during the presentation? Cat got his tongue so he couldn't speak? Or was it just you?"   "What?! How dare you talk crap after you kidnapped him huh?!!"   "Kidnapped? What nonsense are you talking? Are you drunk, nerd? Let me go!" He tried to sound merely annoyed instead of suffocated from the tightening tie around his neck. Maybe he underestimated the strength, determination and sanity of this harmless looking opponent.   "No! What if I don't want to do that?"   "So, what are you gonna do? Kill me? Fine. Do that, if you dare." He mentally scolded himself. Kwanghee did look crazy and considering his split personality, what were the chances of him not taking up the challenge?    "Give me back Siwan and then I'll grant your wish and kill you, you bastard."   "Ugh..." he struggled to keep his composure, despite started to feel really dizzy. "Give you back? Wh...what is Siwan? Your toy?"   "Yah, bastard, don't try to change subject here. You kidnapped Siwan to get rid of competition to win the presentation for Parkest today. He didn't come. You won through your dirty tactic. Now that you got the project, can't you just let him go?" The harshness in his voice was diluted towards the end, though the grip on Kevin's tie remained firm without any sign of loosening. For a moment Kevin was confused whether he was being pleaded or threatened.   "For one, I did not.. kidnap... Siwan. and secondly, I did not... win through dirty tactics. Who asked him... to not be present during the meeting?" With the suffocation, it was becoming increasingly hard for him to deliver his lines smoothly though his pride wouldn't let him go to the entent of begging to be released.   "Yah, quit pretending. Don't force me, Kevin. I'm not afraid of you."   By this time, a lightbulb had been lighted in Kevin's head. For now, his priority should be saving his life. He would worry about the rest later after he's freed. And since Kwanghee wouldn't free him, and kept pulling his necktie, the best way to remain alive for the moment would be through not struggling or pulling himself away from his opponent, but instead, following the opponent's every step. As they say, keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Now he could see the significance of the saying, it definitely could be applied, literally in fact, even if he hated it.   Besides, he didn't miss that the nerd's voice turned lower at the mention of the word afraid.   "Y...yah, what are you trying to do?" He could see his plan working perfectly, when the capturer visibly grew panicked and scared of the captured and took a step backwards. And he followed suit. And Kwanghee too
