Diana's POV

"I formed my own group." He said, looking at me and smiling proudly at his own statement. I let out a loud gasp, surprised by his answer.

"Really?! That's great!" I said, pushing his shoulder playfully as pride filled inside me after listening to his accomplishment. "Anyways, as you have a group of your own, do you know TXT by any chance? Dad was quite angry yesterday because this group killed one of his allies." I said, recalling Dad shouting these things over a phone call while ordering his men to find out this group. Yeonjun let out a small chuckle at my statement, shaking his head at me.

"That's my group." He said with a smug smile on his lips.

"Right your- wait- what?!" I asked, shocked, my eyes widening in surprise. "You guys became that professional in a year?!" I shouted in utter surprise, not believing at what I was hearing. He nodded in response, his smile not fading.

"Let's say we have an amazing team of quick learners who are exceptionally well at their job." Yeonjun said, showing of his cute smile which used to make girls swoon over him during college.

"I want to meet them." I said, looking at him with pleading eyes, trying to persuade the older.

"Tonight? After dinner?" He asked, chuckling, as he ruffled my hair. I nodded happily agreeing with his offer.

"Let's meet where we used to practice." I said, smiling.

"Done. Now I have to go or else I'll get caught. You should leave too." He said, placing a soft peck on my forehead before walking away.

"Bye." I said, as I saw him walk away. I sighed, picking up my quiver and bow and walking back towards my house, internally jumping with excitement on the thought that I would meet TXT.

━━━━━(🥀)━━━━━

I and Yeonjun were walking towards their mansion. He insisted on taking a car but I denied, saying someone will catch me sneaking out; plus we could talk all the way till we reach there and catch up with things.

"That means you probably got a lot to spill." He said, smirking, after I told him the reason. I let out a small tsk, shaking my head at him.

"Not me. You got a lot to spill." I said, rolling my eyes and poking his arm playfully. He chuckled at my behaviour, as we both kept walking along the road.

"I'll spill there when we reach. You spill here while we walk." He said, wiggling his eyebrows, teasing me. I rolled my eyes again, chuckling at his statement and started telling him everything I had done this past year, what was going on with my Dad's gang, what more things did he do just make him hate more and stuff on those lines.

"Your spying skills are getting better I must say." Yeonjun said, nodding, after he heard me out. I gave him a smug smile, winking at him.

"You were not there to get me caught so I was extra good at that." I said, giggling, remembering the instances where he totally sabotaged my work by being clumsy as usual.

"Hey! I'm good and spying." He said, furrowing his eyebrows at me and pouting playfully, making me wonder if he indeed had grown up or not.

"Yeah right. You always manage to make some noise like toppling the vase, banging into the table. Let's say, you can't stay quiet." I said, my giggles turning into laughter. Yeonjun rolled his eyes at me, as I playfully poked his arm, still laughing. We continued to walk while we kept on talking and bickering among each other.

"We are here." Yeonjun finally said, looking ahead. I looked ahead and saw a huge bunglow in front of me. "This is our main hideout." He said, not even turning his head around to face me.

"You got more?" I asked him, surprised, wondering how much they had accomplished in such a small span of time.

"Maybe three or four." He said, shrugging his shoulders, not sure if he was right. My eyes widened in shock as I stared ahead in awe.

"Wow." I said, nodding, letting that fact sink in. "But I don't see any guards." I said, confused, looking around to spot someone.

"You see those walls enclosing this place? They have cameras all around them. Someone is constantly looking at those, from the five of us." He said, pointing at the walls. I followed his gaze, looking at where he was pointing but I couldn't see anything from the distance at which we were standing from it.

"Now, let me introduce you to everyone." He said, pulling my hand, excited to give me a tour. I followed him, trying to figure out the security systems. From afar, there did not seem to be any CCTV cameras but as far as my knowledge, they must be those inbuilt ones which make enemies difficult to locate or break the cameras so that they won't be caught while breaking in.

We walked up to the main door and Yeonjun pulled out his keys, opening the door. We both got in, Yeonjun closing the door behind us.

I saw two guys, sitting on a couch. One had purple hair, who was eating a piece of bread, watching the television. The other guy, a black haired male, was sitting on the couch, watching the television too, with a dolphin plushie in his hand. He looked younger than the others.

Must be of my age I guess.

"Soobin, where is Taehyun and Beomgyu?" Yeonjun asked the purple haired guy who was probably called Soobin. The said male turned his head towards us to respond, his eyes meeting mine and then Yeonjun's.

"Taehyun is in the shooting range. Beomgyu is in the surveillance room." He said, looking at me, probably wondering who I was and why Yeonjun had brought me here.

"Yeonjun, who is she?" The guy with the plushie asked, turning around to look at us and almost reading my thoughts.

"This is my sister, Diana." Yeonjun said, smiling, introducing me to the pair. I smiled at them, giving them a small wave to say hi.

"Oh hello. We have heard a lot about you." Soobin said, smiling and showing off his cute dimples.

"Can't help it when he is ranting about you all the time." The plushie guy said in a low voice but I managed to catch it. I looked at Yeonjun, raising my eyebrows questioningly. Yeonjun glared at the black haired guy, who earned a light smack on his arm from the guy named Soobin.

"I'll go and call Taehyun." The plushie guy said, getting up, glaring at Soobin momentarily and then leaving the room.

"That was Huening Kai, the youngest of the group. He is of your age." Yeonjun said, sighing, a bit annoyed at the series of events which had just occurred. I chuckled at his reaction to what the maknae did.

"Hello, I am Soobin." Soobin said. I smiled, nodding, as I muttered a small "Hello." in response. I stood silently for a minute, then turned to look at Yeonjun, wondering.

"If the Taehyun guy is in the shooting range, why can't I hear anything?" I asked, confused, looking at him for a response.

"Our practice room is actually underground, along with the shooting range, weapon room, surveillance room." He replied, counting on fingers but the expression on his face told he missed out on something.

"And the horror room." Soobin said, yawning. Yeonjun nodded, realising he had missed out on that.

"The shooting range is actually soundproof along with the horror room." He said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Horror room?" I asked, confused at the weird name which I had never heard being used before, apart from those carnival horror houses.

"Where we torture our enemies for information." Soobin said, switching off the television which was still going on as we were talking.

"Right." I said, nodding, shuddering after imagining what usually happens there. Just as I said that, I saw Kai come back with a red-haired guy.

"Diana, this is Taehyun." Yeonjun said, introducing the red haired man. He had large doe eyes, and looked really handsome from my perspective. Heck, all the guys I had met till now were etheral if I be honest.

"Hello." Taehyun said, smiling, as he gave a small wave at my direction. I smiled back, as I introduced myself as Yeonjun's sister.

"I'll go to the surveillance room and call Beomgyu. You guys wait here." Taehyun said, as he went away, going towards the stairs.
