❝ we have an important mission coming up and i want the entire company to work as one. ❞

the statement got all heads turning of attention from all the agents and workers in the meeting room.
minho stood by the corner with sakura, waiting for yuta to finish the meeting and for minho to experience the mission giving in the company he's currently in.
the man kept talking and explaining, showing visual monograms on the table and the jyp logo caught minho's attention.

❝ sakura, what's he trying to explain? ❞
minho asked to which she translated.
❝ there's this archenemy of korean-japanese agencies which has a suitcase with like uh... a special item you should say for weapon making, something powerful. they're currently planning to terrorize japan but we have a mission to stop them, the korean agency we rival with, jyp, are sending their current best and active branch they called skz, they also have a mission to stop these terrorists and they plan to take that item while they're still in korea. ❞
sakura explained, sparking an idea into minho.

❝ no lee minho, you can't come with us to korea. your job is to stay here until we really need you. ❞
their boss said while minho followed him behind trying to persuade him to let him come.

❝ but you do need me there. i know the strategies they make, i'm from there after all. i can help you get that suitcase with all that powerful whatever weapon stuff you're saying. ❞
minho told him, to his honesty, he really doesn't remember much strategies skz does, nor do he remember how to survive in an actual field mission.
but he has to go back to korea, he needed to find answers, he has to try.

he has to go back to jisung.

❝ you need me on that field and you know it. ❞
minho said smirking, with all the alluring melody coming from his voice and persuasive eyes.

❝ you said it yourself i was one of the best in that company. didn't you say you wanted to see my potential? this is your chance. you know i can make this mission a success, you know i can help you better than anyone else. ❞
he wondered where he found such confidence in himself like that, sure he was a confident little shit but he never brags about anything.
right now he's using all he got to convince the head to let him go, but something lingered in the back of minho's mind, something telling him he hadn't changed at all and it left himself with resentment.

minho for sure knows never lies fully and he keeps it that way, that's why he tried not to be manipulative because it played something big with his past. but now, he had no choice.
❝ fine. you will come with us on our mission in korea, but you have to be in disguise and kept in as much as possible if you want to make it back to japan alive. ❞
he said and walked away.

minho beamed and did a fist up the sky before rushing towards the clinic room he always hang around.
❝ let me guess, you succeeded on convincing the boss? ❞
yuta asked with an eyebrow raised and sakura looked at a grinning happy minho who nodded his head.
❝ told you, what lee minho wants, lee minho gets and i want cheesecake so gimme cheesecake! ❞

that night minho stared blankly at the ceiling for countless hours now, overthinking what would happen once he return home to korea, and probably in battle with his old comrades.
"what if i meet jisung again?"
he had that thought running through his mind.
"what would happen? what would happen to us?"

he sighed and pressed a button on the remote which opened the opaque ceiling revealing a glass roof with the night sky's view in front of him.

a smile made it's way up to his lips and his eyes twinkled like the stars he's staring at, a sigh escaped his lips and he closed his eyes.
moments later he noticed how the stars sparkled brighter now, one by one they twinkled and minho looked from left to right noticing each star twinkling, it reminded him of jisung's eyes.

if he would be honest, everything beautiful reminded him of jisung, everything made him long for him more and it started to become a sickness.
he wanted to hold him again, needed to hold him again. he wondered what he would feel once jisung is embraced in his arms again, he didn't know how long was the last time he held him.

he took out the necklace from inside his shirt and caressed it while still staring at the starry sky.
❝ i'm coming home jisung, i'll be back and i'll come find you. i promise.... wait for me okay? ❞
he said soft spokenly and closed his eyes.

"that voice....."
jisung breathed in heavily while staring at his computer screen.

he was just doing the usual late night works until suddenly his necklace blinked and he touched it.
that's when he heard the voice he longed for a long time now, calling his name.

he didn't know if he was going crazy or not, if he was just overworked or missed minho so much but right now it didn't matter if he was going mad, he didn't care.

tears started to flow from his cheeks hearing that voice escape from the voicemail of his necklace, his breathing fast and heart palpitated of pain but happiness at the same time.

".... i promise.... wait for me okay?..... "

❝ .... okay.... ❞

he breathed in as the necklace died down and he was stuck there in the middle of the night, breathing and heart beating fast while staring at his computer screen his cheeks drenched in tears.

jisung wanted to believe it was all just some hallucinations or voices in his head but for sure he knows he needed to find minho.

he believed he's still alive and will come back to find him, he has to do something to get to him faster. he couldn't stand another moment without him.

he has to find him.
