Inhumane - GOT7 & Twice

23.

"Are you sure about this?" Mark asked for the umpteenth time. "We don't even know if she missed it on purpose when she shot me."

"Bambam and I saw the footage." Taecyeon didn't look at Mark as the latter continued to untie the ropes that were binding Sunmi to the chair. "She almost broke out from the brainwash." His voice got a little softer as he stared at his unconscious fiancée. "I am willing to take this risk. You want your brother back too, right?"

"Yes, but..." Mark trailed off then spoke in a soft whisper. "The both of you took me in, I don't want—"

"That's rare of you to express what you feel." Taecyeon joked. "Hanging out with Nayeon definitely changed you."

"This is not the time to joke around."

"I wasn't, not fully at least." Taecyeon turned to look at Mark, a soft smile playing on his lips. "You've been showing more emotions lately even though it's just a little more but you've changed."

Mark made no response as the slight movement from the corner of his eyes caught his attention.

"Sunmi—" He started which Taecyeon turned his body around to face the awakening girl again.

"Mimi?" The man started quietly, taking a step forward. Mark stepped closer to and held onto Taecyeon's arm, attempting to stop him from getting anymore close. Bambam who had heard them, ran into the room too.

"Hey..." Taecyeon spoke in a quiet tone as he pushed Mark's hand away. "It's me, Taec." He continued while Mark and Bambam watched the two of them intently, ready to pry the man off anytime he's in danger. However, there was no movement from the woman in front of them yet.

Using that chance, Taecyeon squat in front of Sunmi and rested his hand on hers. That touch was the trigger and everything happened in a flash. Sunmi had kicked Taecyeon away and before Mark or Bambam could even react, Sunmi had the gun, which Taecyeon had placed by her side, pointed at the man himself.

Taecyeon stood up from the ground, giving Mark and Bambam a gaze that said "Stay put" as he held up his arms in a surrendering way.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I will never."

"Ok Taecyeon, the boss." Sunmi muttered monotonously. "Mark and Bambam, the hackers. Just the three of them, no one else is spotted."

Mark and Bambam shared a gaze. The way Sunmi was speaking sounded like the androids they had fought before. Just what did those dicks do to her.

"Kill." That one word made Mark and Bambam to swiftly turn their head to look at the woman. However, Taecyeon seemed unfazed by it.

"Lee Sunmi, remember what I've said before?" Instead, he continued to speak in the same gentle voice as before. "That the one reason I wouldn't mind to die is when you're the one who killed me. It was a joke before but I wouldn't mind it now."

Silence filled the air, except for the heavy breathing from the three men. Sunmi made no move either but Taecyeon noticed her finger relaxing a little on the gun trigger.

"You remember, don't you?"

"No..." Sunmi shook her head and despite the slight hesitance in her voice, her finger pulled on the trigger again. "You're an enemy."

"Do you really think so?"

A look of discomfort brushed across Sunmi's face for a brief moment.

"Think back to those days." Taecyeon wasted no time and continued. "Remember how we created Udon together? He's really fine now, I'm sure you will love him." Sunmi's arm dropped slightly as a frown grew on her forehead. "And Mark, do you not remember him? You used to dote on him a lot.."
