“I’m just saying,” JiYong casually said, playing with a figurine on Hero’s desk. “You seem oddly attached to her – I mean, how can we trust someone who’s fallen so tender for his own experiment?”
Hero slammed his hands on the desk, eyes narrowing sinisterly, and if JiYong knew any better, he would have been afraid. “It’s easier for me to manipulate her if she trusts me,” he growled out, his words biting at JiYong with each syllable. “I don’t know who you think I am, but I’m not about to fall in love with a fucking experiment, Ji. She’s a project.”
“Really?” JiYong pushed. “Just a project?”
“Just a project,” Hero responded through gritted teeth. He knew better than to take JiYong’s advancements at surface value – the thug had been eyeing up his position ever since Hero appointed him over trafficking, and he had made no secret of it. Hero almost wanted to get rid of him while he could, but, if it came to that, he could think of no one else to replace him. Fact of the matter; everything JiYong did to challenge him, was done to test his power as a ruler. JiYong wanted to be Hero, and if he got his way, the North would be in havoc.
Hero suddenly mellowed out, standing up and walking around his desk to sit on it beside JiYong. “It’s actually kind of pathetic – she was distanced when I first got her back, but she still loves me. I throw a few glances her way, a hug here, present there – she’s eating out of my palm again.” He sighed, tugging on a piece of his hair, fixing it without seeing it. “And she’s getting clingy – fuck, at this rate, I almost want an excuse to crack her head opened. We’re working on an E-7 already.”
JiYong nodded, seemingly pacified and now back in his place. “Yeah, I heard about that,” he said. “Think it’ll be any better?”
Hero’s eyes rolled. “Well I won’t have to fuck the bitch this time.”
JiYong snorted as Hero looked out the window, quietly fuming to himself.
E-7 was going to be failure. He knew it.
