[M] Its Been Too Long Part 3 (1/1)

'You ok Kibum?' Taemins head jerked up and he blinked a few times, looking at Jonghyun across the table from him. 'Kibum? You ok?' Minho beside him nudged him hard bringing him back to earth and he smiled, 'Yeah I'm ok. Why?' The blonde man across the table just shrugged and said, 'Just seemed like you were...' His voice trailed off and he looked over Taemins shoulder. 'What are you looking at?' Taemin turned around and Jonghyun kicked him under the table, 'Kibum don't!' Seeing what he was looking at, Taemin smiled and said, 'Ah. Onew hyung is back.' Sure enough, across the room at the head table was one of the older officers, Onew with his lovely navy uniform. 'That retreat did him good eh?' Taemin said still smiling and Jonghyuns face was bright red. 'Jeez, Kibum you don't have to make it obvious!' Taemin still wasn't used to being called Kibum even after so long in service but he knew he only had himself to really blame as he enlisted under his brothers name. 'You know today, we get our official assignments.' Minho said, quickly changing the subject as he always seemed to do when Taemin needed him to. 'You mean no more hiking?' Taemin was so done with the random camping trips and endless retreats he kept being forced to go on. If there was a so called war going on, he wanted to be a part of it. 'Yeah, Onew told me we should get them tomorrow.' Taemin and Minho gave him both matching smiles and said, 'Did he now?' That only made the older man burn bright red again and then he got up quickly, 'I have seniority over both you bastards and don't make me send you both to the jungle.' The two younger men giggle as he stalked away, Onew sending him a wink as he walked past the officers table. 'They are so cute.' Taemin turned back around and Minhi took his hand under the table, 'But not as cute as us right?' Taemin smiled and then he said, 'I better get going...have fun on the night shift.' He kissed Minho on the cheek and then made his way to his room. No matter how easy going the army was about two men dating they were strict about sharing rooms. Taemin sat down on his bed and pulled out a box from under it, and opening it looking at the letters he had written to his brother. It had been ten years since he had last seen him. Ten Years. He held the bunch of letters he had written but never sent and a small tear fell from his eyes. 'I miss you Kibum...'  Seeing Katherine was amazing. Kibum could still feel her lips on his as he lay on a random rooftop, looking at the sky a huge grin on his face. She didn't recognise him sure, he had the mask on but he was glad he got to see her. He would reveal himself soon, he just had to see she was ok and that she wasn't with anyone. He stayed out on that roof until the night fell and he began to get a little cold. He sat up and he started when he saw he had been laying on the roof of the army barracks. He saw soldiers walking around and people turning in for the night. 'Taemin.' His brother was in these buildings and he had spent way too much time away and he had to see him right now. He climbed down the side of the roof and as he climbed he looked into one of the windows to see...Taemin. Asleep in the bed. 'Oh my god...' He placed his hand on the window and didn't know what to do, so he tapped on the glass. Taemin didn't move, so he tapped again a little harder. 'Oh wake up, you!' Taemin shifted and then his head lifted, his hair was all messy and he rubbed his eyes. Kibum tapped on the glass one more time and then his brother looked at him. He pulled off his mask and smiled at him through the glass. His brother took a few minutes and then slowly got up, and then the window opened. 'Hello Taemin...'
