SEVENTEEN

Chapter 32

 Chapter 32 

  Even though they had a big day today it was a safe bet to make that none of them slept at all last night. They were all too filled with nerves and anticipation to be able to sleep at all the night before. All of the members were so worried about the safety and well-being of their leader. And they were all excited at the prospect of getting Seungcheol back safe in their arms. Jihoon and Jun, along with Soonyoung and Wonwoo had barricaded themselves in the tech office that night. They didn't mean to, but they all couldn't sleep and didn't want to be left alone. So the whole 96-line piled themselves into the office, where they ended up falling asleep after hours of talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Mingyu and Minghao had snuck off ot the younger's bedroom, and spent the night cuddling some. Minghao had drifted in and out of sleep, though that was due more to the painkillers that he had to take for his gunshot wound than anything else. And Mingyu spent all night awake playing with hhis lover's hair. Doyoon had managed to wrangle all of the maknaes, including Seokmin and MingMing into the living room. Where they continued the movie marathon from last night after the rest of the Hyungs present had gone off to bed or to be by themselves. And in the morning when Joshua walked into the living room he found them all camped out and scattered across the whole room. Speaking of Joshua, he and Jeonghan hadn't really slept that night before either. They basically just held each other all night and took turns between Joshua crying and Jeonghan vomiting throughout the night. Both of them were completely exhausted but they were still too restless to really care about any of it.  

       That day, everyone was gathered in the apartment with a flurry of motions. Mingyu made them all breakfast, with help from Sam, and Doyoon. While they did that, Jeonghan, Soonyoung, and Jihoon managed to get into contact with Bangtan, GOT7 and Stray Kids. When Jeonghan called Bangtan and spoke to Namjoon, the elder leader gave him his condolences about losing Seungcheol and wished them luck on trying to get him back. He even tried to offer his help again, but Jeonghan had to decline. This was a dangerous mission and it was theirs alone at this point, and Jeonghan wasn't going to put anyone else at risk for getting hurt, especially when a group like Bangtan had so much to lose at this point. Jeonghan told him that, and that the explosives were not detonated last time, and Jihoon says that Kim and his men haven't found them yet. Though they were going to bring in some more when they go in just to be certain.He told Namjoon of his plan, and the elder told him to be careful and if worse came to worse don't be afraid to take a chance. When they hung up, Jeonghan had a sinking suspicion that even though he didn't tell him what his plans for Kim were, the elder already knew.  

           When Soonyoung called GOT7, he was a little bit intimidated. He heard of GOT7 just like he had heard of Bangtan. And he knew that the senior group had just as good of a reputation as Bangtan. And he knew that their leader JB was a force to be reckoned with. Though their conversation was short, Soonyoung was able to get his point across. He was able to convince the leader to get into contact with the police, since they had more contacts in the police force than SEVENTEEN did anyway. JB said that he would make some phone calls and call him back. And by the time that he was done all that Jeonghan or any of them would have to do is to say the word and Kim was done. And that just left Jihoon to get into touch with Jihoon. The hacker talked to their leader Bang Chan, and he seemed like a nice enough kid. Though it kind of freaked him out a bit that someone as young as Mingyu was a leader of a team. Jihoon had asked him if he and his group would be willing to help keep an eye on their apartment while the others were gone in case something were to happen. Chan agreed very quickly and they had set up Stray Kids as their in case of emergency back up.
