"Back for more?" Taecyeon questioned.
Onew walked right up to the desk he'd previously made a mess of, and this time, simply flipped it over in it's entirety, throwing it to the side of the room along with everything on it.
Taecyeon scowled, shooting to his feet, and violently swung as fast and suddenly as Onew did. Their fists knocked into each other, but neither were slow with the follow up, and the two were soon engaged in a horribly brutal fight - throwing and kicking, and even scratching each other.
Taecyeon wore eyeglasses, though he didn't need them, but he was still pretty pissed when Onew broke them against his face. The 'secretary' vampire had an obvious size advantage, and likely a strength advantage in general, but Onew was relentless, fighting for so much more.
When Taecyeon lifted Onew, likely meaning to completely crush him against the nearest object, Onew clung onto him - nails digging into the back of his head and his neck, and leaned up in his arms, biting deeply into his neck.
Taecyeon barely managed to throw him off, and his bloodloss was the only handicap against him that Onew needed to win. Still, he bared his fangs and met Onew when the smaller vampire attacked him, punching into his stomach.
Onew, with a more damaging goal in mind, grabbed Taecyeon's head and bit into him once again, not letting go until the vampire was limp against him.
Then, Onew ran because God knows he didn't have much time. Taecyeon would be found way too soon, but then, he only needed a second to be bonded with Minho again anyway.
Key was right, though. After he got through Taecyeon, the halls were pretty much clear. Unfortunately, Onew didn't know the building half as well as Key did, and the dark halls weren't being extremely kind to him. (That is, he continuously ran into walls.) He propelled himself forward still, fueled by desperation.
He pressed his ear against it and heard a heartbeat, and wasted no time in shoving it open.
Minho stared at him, eyes wide. He'd been sitting in there, considering what would happen if Onew appeared, and never would have expected for it - in fact - to happen so soon. There was too much pressure still, too much conflict..
But Onew's panic seemed to fly away as he looked at Minho sitting on that bed, and he walked closer to him even though his human oddly looked so fearful. In the end, Onew acknowledged that he likely had Taecyeon's blood all over him, which was good enough cause for Minho's alarm. (Not that the human shouldn't be used to him showing up, covered in blood.) "I'm here." Onew said, taking Minho's hand in his.
"No.." Minho said, "Onew.. you shouldn't have come.."
"I don't mind if it's a trap, as long as you and I are bonded.."
Minho jerked his hand away, "We can't be."
The emotions came fast to Onew, at those words. Regardless of the meaning behind them, and there were many possibilities, it felt like there could have been no greater insult. "What do you mean?" Onew asked in a breath.
"We'll be in trouble," Minho said, "Again."
"I said I don't mind." Onew growled, impatient with reason to be.
"I do."
"You're in trouble no matter what." Onew said, frowning and grabbing Minho's hand again.
"It doesn't feel right.." Minho said, tearing up, and Onew could see him breaking down, "Onew, I'm so confused.."
Onew climbed quickly into Minho's lap, keeping his hand tightly in his own as he pushed him down onto the bed. Minho's wide, deep eyes stared up at him, full of emotion.
"I'll protect you." Onew said confidently, leaning down to cover Minho's mouth with his own. As it did, he heard one last word, "Don't.", escape from Minho's lips, but he wouldn't and couldn't stop. A fang pressed into Minho's lip, tearing through skin and sending shockwaves of emotion through both of them.
Minho wrapped his arms loosely around Onew, keeping his mouth open for him, moving his legs apart for him, submitting as if he'd never resisted because now that he felt Onew filling in the emptiness he'd left, he never understood why he resisted, or why something about this could have felt so wrong.
Onew pulled away too soon for both of their liking, but he grinned still, "You're hard again."
Minho quickly turned his familiar shade of humiliated red, "I am not."
Onew climbed off of the bed, his hand still clutching Minho's so he guided him along. "Let's go, before we're caught."
"If we get caught now," Minho said, "I won't forgive you."
"Wow, Minho." Onew said, continuing to grin, "You sound like a man. Did you have a birthday?"
Onew followed a route Key had explained to him that he only vaguely knew of, walking across a slim hall and into a downwards staircase.
"Onew.." Minho said, worries now flooding his brain. "What if they hurt my family?"
"They won't," Onew said, "I'll make sure they don't."
"You always say things like that but it's never done any good before." Minho pointed out, "You should have thought this through.."
"I couldn't think." Onew said, "Without you."
Minho looked at him, surprised, and said nothing. So Onew looked back at him and said, "It's too late to regret anything. For now, let's just escape here."
As they continued on, Minho became aware of an empty feeling inside of him, and a quiet but audible still white noise running through his mind.

Siwon's backseat was filled with new clothes for Minho, DVDs of just about any genre to be certain he'd like a few, and even a variety of snacks.
Most of that stuff fell to the floor when he slammed on brakes in the middle of the street, feeling a piece of him was torn away.
He listened to ringing for what felt like way too long before Heechul finally picked up and had barely said hello when Siwon said, "Minho is gone. Help me find Onew."
