The awkward conversation and silence

Snatched

Kyungsoo hated it when he was in the same room as someone he's never really spoken to before. It meant awkward silences and trying to think of something to do to start a conversation which wouldn't last long anyway. Those were the worst kind of conversations. 

"You can go have a shower if you want. Freshen up a bit" Baekhyun said, breaking Kyungsoo out of his trance 
"U-uh okay" Kyungsoo replied, standing up as Baekhyun handed him his bag full of the stuff he packed before he left home 
"Bathroom's the first door on the left. There should be a spare toothbrush or two hanging around. If you need deodorant, just borrow one of ours it's like we'll notice anyway" he said as Kyungsoo silently thanked him and scurried off to the bathroom.

"There's nothing much to do around here, unless you want to unpack boxes and sort them into two piles" Baekhyun said as Kyungsoo stepped out from the bathroom 
"What are those boxes for?" he asked walking over and sitting down across from Baekhyun to look for himself. 

He was quite surprised. The boxes contained everything you would you find in your normal shop; blankets, extra clothing, food and medicine. Why the heck would they need this smuggled in from Australia? 

"You can get these from any old shop in Korea" he said 
"I know"
"Well then why are you smuggling these in from Australia?" Kyungsoo asked as Baekhyun sighed and looked up to face him 
"Weren't you paying attention when we were explaining everything to you yesterday?" was his reply whilst Kyungsoo glared at him. Of course he was paying attention!

"Yes I was. I just don't understand why you would get all of this from Australia if you have all of this just down the road in other shops" he said 
"Does it look like we have the money to go buy all of this? When you've been doing this for a while, you get to know people who can help you out. With another gang and the police wanting us as well right now we can't exactly just pop down the road and get this. We'd be cornered within minutes" Baekhyun explained before shaking his head. 

"You'd think some people would have common brain cells" he muttered whilst Kyungsoo's eyes widened 
"Why are you so moody all of a sudden? Yesterday until you went out you were actually quite talkative and nice. Now you're just being a !" he said and Baekhyun went to say something but stopped himself, dropping his gaze to the floor.

"Sorry, rough evening that's all" he said quietly 
"With that police friend of yours?" Kyungsoo asked and Baekhyun nodded his head
"Partly" he replied and the two of them sat in silence. This was the awkward conversation and silence that Kyungsoo was worried about earlier.

The two of them had to put up with each other for a further two hours before Kris and the others arrived back in the apartment. This time around they were carrying less boxes than last time but nevertheless, they were full of stuff you could buy at your local shop. 

"What took you guys so long?" Baekhyun asked taking some boxes away from Joonmyun 
"There was a delay in the stuff coming in" he said whilst Kyungsoo watched the others walk in before frowning. 

"Why are your trousers covered in dust?" he asked, pointing at Sehun 
"That doesn't matter right now" Kris interjected quickly as he placed a box or two in front of Kyungsoo 
"Help us organise these" he added making Kyungsoo scoff as he pushed them away from him. 

"Why should I help you?" he asked making Kris raise an eyebrow 
"Because I said so. Copy what Jongin does if you get stuck" he replied and walked away with Jongin sat across from Kyungsoo 
"Come on then" he said and nudged the boxes back over to Kyungsoo. 

"Why should I help the people who kidnapped me?" Kyungsoo asked 
"Because if you don't, we'll only keep you in here longer and I can always kick you back out into the living room" Jongin replied and with that Kyungsoo gave up his lone protest and got to helping like everyone else did. 

"Is Yixing not back from work yet?" Joonmyun asked 
"He should be back any second now. He's usually running overtime anyway" Baekhyun replied and cue the door opening as Yixing walked in and rolled his eyes and the sight of all the boxes in front of him. 

"Did you work overtime again?" Kris asked as Yixing shook his head 
"No, absolute disaster at work. Too much of the same medication came in so we had to decide how much to take back and then a stack of boxes collapsed meaning that medication and broken jars of stuff went everywhere so we had to clean it up... bloody nightmare" he replied plopping himself next to Kyungsoo to see what he was doing. 

"Why are you getting Kyungsoo to do this?" he asked as Kyungsoo threw whatever he was holding onto the floor 
"Thank you!" he exclaimed but Kris only rolled his eyes and got back to what he was doing and Jongin still sat across from scoffing. Seeing that this was a useless attempt to get Kyungsoo out of doing something, Yixing could only sigh and pat Kyungsoo on the back before he got up. 

"I'm in the shower if anyone needs me" he said before walking away, Kyungsoo watching him before he frowned. Sehun had walked him to work... so at which point did the two of them get covered in dust? 

"Better luck next time princess" came Jongin's voice to break Kyungsoo out of his thoughts making his roll his eyes and resume with what he was doing 
"Don't call me that... jerk" 


And with this chapter, I shall now start to play Devil's advocate... or try to and comment on any guesses from now on to either get a further explanation of why you're accusing a certain member of being the mole or even changing your opinion. Hopefully :S 

Also, we're not that far away from meeting Luhan and his role in this! 

Until then!!
