Soobin's head perks up at the familiar sound of the door opening. He smiles softly as Daniel comes in with a tray of food and some water, closing the door behind him.
"It's on loop," Daniel exhales out in relief.
It's been going like that for over a week. Daniel comes in to feed him and they both chat for a little while. Usually about why they love their leaders so much and competing for who has the best one.
"Nice to see you," Soobin smiles.
Daniel chuckles, a sound Soobin has been finding himself becoming addicted to.
Daniel takes the chair on one side of the room and takes a seat in front of Soobin, placing the tray of bland food in his lap.
He picks up the small packet of glucose and other essential nutrients hidden behind the bowl and attaches one end of the drip to it, injecting the other one into Soobin's arm. He lifts the packet and carefully places it on Soobin's shoulder.
Soobin keeps his eyes on Daniel the entire time, studying all his features carefully. He loves how Daniel's parted hair slightly falls over his forehead, accentuating his eyebrows. He's grown a liking to his new friend's fierce eyes and pretty lips.
"You know, I can't help shake the feeling I've seen you before," Soobin says as Daniel picks up a bite of food and brings it up to Soobin's mouth.
"Must've been on a 'wanted' poster," Daniel says as he pushes the rice into Soobin's mouth, who can't eat by himself because of his chained hands.
"Nope, I'd remember if it was from there." Soobin swallows his bite. "I saw it somewhere else."
"I don't know."
Soobin keeps studying Daniel's face with a new intention, trying to figure out where he's seen him before. He knows he has. It's right there, in the back of his mind. Soobin has a good visual memory and a knack for recognizing faces, so it should be easy remembering where he's seen Daniel.
Daniel flicks some of his hair out of his forehead and pushes another bite into Soobin's mouth.
And that's when it clicks.
Soobin has seen this man before.
And not on a wanted poster.
On August's no-hit list.
He gasps. "You're Choi Yeonjun."
Yeonjun's lips part and he sighs, nodding.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Soobin asks, trying not to raise his voice too much.
"Trying to make sure you stay alive."
"But you work for Vante?"
"Isn't he on the no-hit list either?"
"Yeah, but on the red one," Soobin says. "We're allowed to kill him if it's an emergency. We're supposed to die for you if it comes to that."
"Let's just say," Yeonjun shoves another bite into Soobin's mouth. "That without me, all of August's spies would've been caught within a week of entering Vante's territory."
————————
Vante knew it.
Yoongi was nothing but a dirty, lying, scumbag.
The leader walks the hallways in fast strides, wanting to reach his room as fast as he can.
He needs to know how Yoongi got in and left. Because that's most likely the route used by some spies. It could also be another route into August.
