Pyramid— Mark at the front, Hendery and Doyeon on either sides with the girl in the heart of the formed shape. They figured it was the best way to defend the girl.
Hendery and Doyeon had their handguns clasped in between their interlocked hands, whilst Mark was unarmed, his figure towering above hers— broad shoulder pulled taut with his stance like that of a predator, always on the toes of his feet to swing into action any minute, edged gaze warily skimming around.
Soyoung was lost in her thoughts, not noticing Mark who had come to an abrupt halt and she bump against his back, "Oh shit, sorry" She mumbled out, distancing herself from the boy who hadn't even flinched the slightest.
"Stay put" Doyeon insisted, glaring at the girl beside her and her shoulders slouched, pursing her lips together as she fell silent.
"Someone's in there" Mark's low voice whispered upon hearing faint footsteps, pointing a finger at the corridor that spilt into three before conjoining into one on the opposite end, exactly where a room was located.
The path ahead was utterly immersed in darkness, only the entranceway illuminated cause of the fluorescent bulb that hung above them, not even a streak of light visible- a perfect blind spot to attack ambush, hence alerting the four.
"Yeah, that's the room Yeonjun said" Hendery informed in a hushed tone, "What's her name again?" Doyeon asked, referring to the Dragon's member whom Yeonjun had mentioned earlier through the earpieces they shared.
"Song Yuqi" Mark answered, eyes fixated ahead, "Right. Doesn't sound Korean though" Doyeon muttered to herself as she hummed in acknowledgment.
"Let's split. It will slim down the complication to get onto the other side" Mark said, glancing over his shoulder, awaiting their agreement to the plan.
"Fine. I'll take the right hallway" Doyeon said, "I'll take the left one" Hendery added, earning a nod from the rest.
"And I'll take her with me" Mark said, slightly spinning around on his heel, enough for him to have Soyoung in his sight and she stared at his side profile, soon feeling his callous, cold palm cease hold of hers.
Hendery's eyes flickered onto their intertwined hands and he rolled his eyes, "You two never miss the chance, do you?" He mumbled under his breath yet the girl who stood beside him could distinctly catch onto his comment.
"You're just jealous" Soyoung mouthed, her grasp beneath his hands tight as she inched towards Mark and Hendery repulsively cringed, averting his gaze from the two.
"Are you sure you can take them alone, without a weapon, I mean" Doyeon asked, directing her words to Mark and he shrugged, not dwelling on it any further.
And soon they parted ways, heading towards their designated paths.
"Are we really going to be fine?" Soyoung asked in a soft voice, wary of not being loud, and he glanced down at her as his hand that held hers retracted before wrapping his arm around her waist, tugging her closer by his side.
