  Chapter 22

Last time on SEVENTEEN....

         Cracking open the door slowly, Seungcheol peaked his head into the room. There didn't seem to be anything wrong or out of place from what he could see. But they weren't going to be taking any chances about this. Opening the door fully he had everyone fan out and check what was going on. Mingyu went to the kitchen. Wonwoo the office, Soonyoung, and Vernon the bedrooms, and bathrooms, and Seungcheol checked out in front of their living room. So far, Seungcheol hasn't been able to find anything wrong, and he didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. He always makes sure that the door is locked behind them when they leave the apartment, and they are the only ones with keys to the place. Seungcheol didn't know what to make of this. It wasn't until he heard Mingyu yelling and running into the living room looking for him. The noise that he made had Wonwoo and the rest of the crew searching the apartment come running into the room. "What is it Mingyu-ah?" Seungcheol asked as the taller came up to him. "I found this on the counter underneath some boxes of rice." Mingyu told him. The younger man handed him a plain white envelope. Seungcheol took it in his hand and inspected it. After a couple of minutes he took a chance and opened it. And what was inside made his heart sink into his stomach.

         Seungcheol felt like he was going to puke. He was experiencing a large mixture of emotions all at once. He was furious, livid, terrified, and worried all at once. And those were just the ones that he was able to identify himself. He was bewildered, he couldn't believe it and probably wouldn't if it wasn't for the fact that he had the evidence right in front of him. Reading the letters gave him chills.

Dear Mr. Choi-ssi,

I see that you have found this letter that was left for you by one of our opprotives. I must say I expected better of you and your team. From what my employees told me it was fairly easy for them to locate your base of operations and break in. You really need to up your security if you don't want anyone to find you.

I apologize, I'm getting off topic here. The real reason that I did this was to get your attention. And now that I've done it I would like to meet with you. You and your team have something that I desire from you. If you refuse to meet with me then I can assure you, you will regret it. I've attached some little pieces of incentive to hopefully influence your decision. And if you even think about contacting the authorities, remember you just as much likely to get arrested for your crimes as I am if not more, and I'll make sure that it's you who goes down instead of me. Remember Mr. Choi I am always watching.

Sincerely,

The Black Dragon.

P.S.

Have a nice day son.    

     "Hyung what is it?" Mingyu asked him. "What does it say?"He asked him. It took Seungcheol a couple of more moments than he liked to be able to give him a response. "Hyung, why do you look like you've seen a ghost." Hansol asked him. And hearing the younger's voice seemed to snap the leader out of his mind. "It's a letter." Seungcheol said. "It's from the Black Dragon," He told them. "He knows where we live." Almost immediately you could feel the temperature drop in the room. Everyone was stunned beyond belief at this point. They had been so careful to keep where they live a secret. They knew that if anyone ever found out where they live then things could get dangerous. And that's exactly what just happened. Nothing like this had ever happened to them before and in all honesty it was pretty terrifying for them all.
