[mireu knows it's plainly obvious, but what can he do? there's no good way to deflect this when he's being asked a trying question so directly.]
You really want to complicate things, don't you, Park Muyeol? [somehow, he manages to project his heavy sigh—whether or not it was possible for someone to really mentally sigh, mireu pulls it off.
sorry, but this is already a messy situation, and youngjae is definitely going to make it worse.]
[ That tells him enough to know something bad happened. He goes quiet for a moment.
If something really awful happened he doesn't doubt for a second that Chihoon would be able to keep quiet about it, and go on about his day as usual. Even Mireu seems like he could put on a mask and act like he usually does if he needs to. But what about Youngjae? That one seems more doubtful, Youngjae isn't the best at keeping his negative emotions capped up, wouldn't he have already spilled something to Muyeol?
But still, the fact that Mireu refuses to answer this simple question... ]
What happens?
[ He's trying to keep his tone calm, but it's hard. Just tell him. He needs to know. Does the doctor escape? Does everyone even make out of the school in one piece?! ]
[really, muyeol. this is enough of a hassle as it is—there's no good reason to further complicate this by making mireu reveal everything this way.]
Wait until we're all there to get on the same page. Are you the one who wants to make things less complicated?
[not that this will actually make things less complicated, but it's easier to play it off that way—if they only have to clear this up once, it's easier than potential multiple emotional disasters. he'd still much rather leave youngjae out of this. okay, maybe mireu is already mentally mapping out how to tell muyeol with chihoon there but without youngjae, some other way. no matter what, it's going to get ugly...]
[ He's positive that something bad happened now, and he doesn't want to wait. He doesn't want anyone to break the news to him softly. He just wants to know what is in store for him when he finally gets them all home, and if he can do anything to change it. This hiding information game that everyone seems to be doing right now has him frustrated beyond reason, and he's about to snap.
Ironically, the very thing Mireu was trying to prevent by not telling him. ]
What happens?!
[ Can you yell inside someone's head? Well, apparently. Muyeol seems to be managing anyway. ]
[yeah, he's definitely getting the idea here that there's not going to be any way to placate muyeol, but that isn't going to change his mind, either. mostly because he knows it's for everyone's good that he doesn't just spill the beans.]
Was Park Muyeol really always this impatient? I already said it. We'll do this when everyone's together. [despite the air of exasperation in his tone, it's clear that mireu's serious enough about it. he's actually not fucking around for once in his life, and that's because he knows this is little more than damage control right now.]
[ He's not in the mood for this. How is stalling going to help things? Why is he hiding something from Muyeol? What does Mireu do that he's so nervous about Muyeol finding out about?
Mireu was the one to bring Yohan's companion into the school...
But no, he also helped them. He was the one that saved them from him in the first place. This couldn't have possibly been that well thought out and preplanned on Yohan's part. Could it?
Muyeol feels sick right now running through all the various possibilities of Mireu secretly being some sort of traitor. It's kind of scary how easy it is to break his trust. ]
I'll get them together now then.
[ Can he trust the other two though? Is this even a good idea? ]
[wow, rude. that's so rude, muyeol, even if mireu does seem questionable at best sometimes, he's never had a reason to betray everyone. even when he's a shit, he was willing from the moment it was decided to take yohan down.
some thoughts are better kept to himself, and it's likely for the better that those ones aren't the ones that leak. not that mireu can't figure out that something like that may cross muyeol's mind—he's more than aware how unstable the guy is, after all. but he'd rather not think about it; they'll have it sorted soon enough.
at whatever cost that may end up being.]
Alright, alright. Just wait that long... don't be so impatient, and don't break the city in the meanwhile. Got it?
[ Oddly enough, this isn't even part of his instability-- well, it's not part of what made him crack and kill Yohan. This is the kind of paranoia a guy feels after someone pokes at his mind one too many times. The kind of paranoia that caught Kangmo, and caused him to ruin Chihoon's plan to take the doctor down the first time, or worse, the kind of paranoia that led Muyeol to go on a witch hunt for Kangmo down the halls of their school in the first place.
Muyeol tried so hard to trust his classmates as much as he could after that, but with Mireu trying so hard to hide something for him, he's already leaping to the worst case scenarios. Bracing himself for the worst outcome that there could be.
It's all racing through Muyeol's mind, but fortunately enough kept locked up tight. If Mireu isn't part of Yohan's schemes? He doesn't need to know Muyeol is suspecting him right now, and if he is...? He definitely doesn't need to know then.
He doesn't say anything else to Mireu, or more, he doesn't think anything else directed at him. No promises not to break the city, no light hearted jokes along that nature. He's too frustrated by this entire situation for that. He wants to get this done as fast as possible, no matter what it is he finds out. ]
