It was rare Yunho was ever even mildly formal – though he was strict, always had been very poker-faced and hard pressed, his natural friendliness tended to seep through in his casual conduct and manner, staining his clean-cut image a warm, tender pink. Much like a teddy bear.
Bears = scary with teeth bared and claws sharpened. Yunho was much the same. But when stuffed with cotton and covered in fluffy material, maybe even with a heart or rose in his hand, the Yunho was, much like a teddy bear, a very harmless and lovable creature. Now if you were to give that teddy bear a chainsaw…
And that horrific sight was much like Yunho when it came to Hero.
This is exactly what was going through YooChun’s mind as he acted busy, pretending to be doing something in order to appease Yunho, though he was already long since done and waiting for Yunho to get off the phone so he could summarize his findings.
And so he sat, twiddling his thumbs, as Changmin and Junsu looked through whatever it was they was searching through.
Yunho clicked down the receiver, rubbed his forehead, and grunted. Nothing. Ever since the Roog’s main headquarters had been located, they were forced to scatter off into tiny bands – almost twenty of them, reporting to eachother from afar at least once a month. It’d been almost four since Yunho had heard from any of them.
He sighed and looked up, catching Yoochun staring at him from across the room, grinning like an idiot. “What?” he snapped. Yoochun simply smiled and puckered out his lips, before pointing at the ceiling.
“236,” he said.
Yunho stared. “What?”
“236,” Yoochun repeated. Yunho grunted.
“236 what? Ceiling tiles?” he asked, his tone firmly conveying that he didn’t at all believe he was cut out for this level of sheer idiocy. But YooChun just shrugged again and turned around.
“Ask Junsu.”
As if on cue, Junsu whirled around and smiled cutely at his leader. Yunho looked at him with unintentionally eager eyes, nodding for him to continue.
“236 days unaccounted for, Ho – well, actually, 229 days without any account – but also seven that I thought would interest you.” He tossed the papers to Yunho, before swirling around in place contently. “Seems like there are a few more missing ‘files’ in Hero’s database than we thought. Most of them are scattered out… a day here, a day there – an then seven full days in a row where each account clearly states Hero was gone on business – the only one that didn’t say where he went or what his business was.” Yunho spotted the dates with interest, and then Junsu whistled slyly. “But by far the most interesting one was February 8th, 3077.”
Yunho blinked, and Junsu sent him a meaningful look. Suddenly, Yunho jumped to his feet and flipped to the account, staring down at Junsu’s meager summary with interest. “So?”
“So?” Junsu mocked, quirking his eyebrows playfully. “But Yunho, I thought you’d find this particular date interesting.”
Yunho rolled his eyes and looked back and the date again, face falling. He remembered that day now, clearly, vividly… And when he looked back up at Junsu, he found a proud little smirk playing on the dolphins face.
“That’s the day we took Six.”
