The Seven Deadly Alliance

Lotte World Tower Pt.5

No one took their deaths well, especially that night. Team three, who took the mission of the Lotte Tower. Team three, who had eleven members. Team three, who came back alive with five members. Everyone knew they were risking their lives to protect Seoul. They accepted the fact of losing each other. But that doesn't mean they don't have the heart to grieve for people who've been with them for years, friends, and loved ones.

"Babe..." Ten walked over to his stressed and crying husband. The Thai male sat next to him on the couch of their shared rooms, holding the leader's hands.

"It hurts..." Taeyong's voice was strained and hoarse, everyone's was. "We lost Sicheng and Chenle... the others as well." He looked over to Ten who had red bloodshot eyes. The younger nodded, sniffling. He was aware of the Nightmares being closer to the Souls back at the asylum, it really hurt them, unable to see the two. Both had a slim chance of surviving, but Jisung and Chenle wouldn't be alive if the Chinese boy had risked his life for his boyfriend. Sicheng had held so much. He looked very relaxed as he took his last breaths. Even if it was heartbreaking, they must endure it and look out for positivity. Hope. All battles must come to an end eventually.

"I know. Soon, it'll heal once it's over." Ten told the older, handing over tissues, Taeyong gladly accepted them. "It takes time, babe. They'll be alright. Sicheng's with the boy. Junhui, Minghao, Yeonjun, Soobin, and Jake will be there to accompany them..."

"I-I know-it's just that..." Taeyong blew into the tissue. His husband rubbed his back as he rubbed his eyes.

"We won't be a-able to see them." Taeil walked in, sitting on the couch next to a sleeping Jaehyun, Johnny following along, wrapping an arm around the smaller and pulling him to his chest.

"Is Doyoung still at the infirmary?" Johnny shook his head.

   Jungwoo sniffed. "Shouldn't he..." He cautiously looked towards Jaehyun's sleeping figure before looking back at the American male.

"He wants to go on the mission... He and Jaehyun went through an argument but of course, Doyoung won." He answered, sighing. "He's probably scared as well... it's rare to hear Jaehyun or see Jaehyun raise his voice at him." It's highly rare to see someone so collective raise their voice during an argument, but he was concerned for his lover's health.

"W-Where is he?" Taeyong looked over.

"He's over at the Nightmares' room... I think Kun is there with him." Taeil responded.

"Shouldn't he be resting?" Ten shook his head, kissing his husband's forehead. "He's just as desperate as Doyoung. They both love the Nightmares dearly. I'll make surer he returns to the infirmary later."

"I'm going to get him..." Jaehyun woke up in a sleepy tone. The sleepy male got up, heading to the door. With that, everyone got up, heading to their rooms.

   Walking down the halls, Jaehyun could see Lucas walking towards the Soul's room. The two made eye contact, stopping in front of each other.

"What are you doing up this late?" The older asked Lucas. The Chinese male looked down before responding.

"I just needed some time alone..."

"What about Jungwoo?"

"He needs some time as well. We all do."

"How's your leg?" Lucas shook his head, walking over and placing a hand on Jaehyun's shoulder.

"You and Doyoung Hyung, Taeil Hyung, and Johnny Hyung should go rest... your guys' mission is tomorrow." The younger left, going down the halls, leaving Jaehyun standing in place.
