" there's a lot we don't know yet "

soojin, gidle - senorita

Haewon's POVi felt lost and confused, even angry at myself. i didn't know what wooyoung was capable of, yet i still decided to push buttons and fight fire with fire. but we can't just live in fear, letting him walk over all of us right? it seems as if i have become his main punchbag, but why?

Just under my chin, the mere red welts were spread across the neck like a disease. I washed with cool water and applied mild soap to the incisions. A soft hand slid round my waist as a solid figure crept behind me.

Not having to look into the bathroom's mirror, I already knew it was Yunho.

"Let me help you." he said genuinely.

Taking the cloth from my grasp with his free hand with the other still positioned on my tiny waist, he gently dabbed at the clustering cuts; despite how small they were, the pain was excruciatingly pitiless. I quietly blenched but told myself to get it over and done with.

Out of nowhere, Yunho launched into nibbling my lobe, avoiding the set of silvery helixes looped.

Was he a mind reader? I couldn't feel anything other than pleasure and relaxation.

"I never realised you were this touchy-feely!" I exclaimed.

"Wait, do you want me to stop? I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

His violet and citrusy aroma slowly drifted away as he took a few steps back.

"No no, it's alright." I rotated to face the pink haired male, who was now chafing the hairs on the back on his head in discomfort. "But thank you for checking up on me with consideration of my feelings, I really admire that."

Yunho's blush burned through his baby cheeks, face hot as if a oven was rested inside his mouth. To hide his awkwardness, he attempted to conceal himself using his long fingers.

I snuggled in, "Everything about you is just perfect."He snickered, swiping a hand up and down my spine. "I'm far from perfect Haewon, but you...you're just one of a kind."

In that moment, his arms compressed a fraction tighter and I breathed much more steadily, making my body melt into Yunho's as every muscle lost it's tension to spring air.

"Well, whenever you lovebirds are finished, come meet the rest of at the warehouse - it's important."

Jongho had been watching in silence the whole time. Making a fake gag, he grinned cheekily as we parted instantly.

"It's alright I won't tell anyone." the youngest stated.

"You better not." Yunho sighed, walking out and heading for the mansion's leaving point.

An unsure stoppage took place before Jongho gestured for me to leave first - such a gentleman.

I was still puzzled as to why Yunho left solo. But he must have his own reasons for it.

3rd person POV

As soon as everyone had made it to the meeting point safely, Hongjoong began to inform them all of what had come through within the last few hours.

"Lisa went to Jimin's hq alone, she was able to locate what room San was being held captive in but unfortunately got caught by Seulgi." the head paused, looking at us all blankly. "She said she was able to draw some time by hiding but the connection was broken minutes after."

"Everybody ready for the big mission to commence?"Seonghwa questioned sternly.

They all nodded confidently and began heading to the van with their equipment.

Haewon kept the boss behind for a few minutes, irritancy laid on her face.

"What about Jennie and Wooyoung? I don't understand how you see it as a good idea to keep them in the same building together, while being only seconds away!?"

Rolling his eyes ever so slightly, he replied. "We have high security patrolling, nobody goes in and out but us." Leaving it at that, Hongjoong followed out.

The midnight haired girl did the same, exhaling a sigh of low expectancy as she hopped into the back seat.

arrival was faster than before, time is a precious thing and in no way were they going to waste it. intruding the building, the two highest in commands took out the main guards posted at the ingress. yeji and mingi went through the back sneakily as told, while yunho and jongho broke in with recklessness.

Haewon proceeded on her own through the very same vent and came across Lalisa perched on the silver tunnel.

"Come quick, I know where San is." the blonde whispered, loud enough to be heard.

Crawling unchallenged, they were met by the same trespassed vent and were able to get down effortlessly. San, who was pleased by the rescue, set his associate a loving smile before focusing his attention on the man behind her.

"What are you guys looking at? There's nothing there." the confused girl stated, staring strangely at the empty bed opposite to their current placement.

"How come she can't see you Daewon?" the blonde wondered.

"Who's Daewon?"

Ghosting her question, the pair continued conversing openly. Despite the talking, Haewon could somehow hear whispers that were too inaudible to work out what was being said.

What was going on?

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the group regrouped and infiltrated Jimin's private room. Burnt down furniture, books, newspapers were all scattered vigorously. Oddly enough, a voice recorder was left untouched on the brittle wooden desk.

Cautiously swiping the leftover debris, Hongjoong pressed the play button and a message played ominously:

"I was very aware that you would come and save your friend, as well as attempt to kill me. Sadly, that won't be happening anytime soon. I'm no longer around and neither will the any of you be by the time i'm finished. This building was made to be self destructed in defensive of the enemy, in the very heart lies a bomb. Seems that time has come, goodbye H.A, I shall see you again in hell. Oh wait, aren't we already there?"

Lockdown lights were set off, a chain of sounds rumbled from almost every floor of the structure. Yeji zoomed to over to the side window and dusted the foggy substance with her sleeve, revealing a metal barrier that hid any ray of light from forcing it's way in.

"Every window must be locked in apart from the main room's one, it's massive. Mingi and I invaded and took out all the guards there."

Without warning, a robotic voice spoke out:

WARNING⚠️

ALL SYSTEMS SHUTTING DOWN.

SELF DESTRUCTION PROTOCOL HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

BUILDING DESTRUCTING IN APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES.

COUNTDOWN BEGINS IN 5 MINUTES.

Sirens wailed as a deep red tint casted a imprint on the whole room. Everyone became expressive mannequins as the alarms roared in the backdrop, causing fear to be demonstrated in it's purest form.They all gyrated to their boss, who was physically trembling in every view.

With that, they didn't know if the mission would succeed and become an experience to cherish or fail and become their brand new deathbeds for eternity.
