"Meihua? Is that Meihua?" Taeyong rushed to the girl who stumbled a little further away from them.
"Shit, that's her." "Okay," Taemin, being the oldest of the three coordinators, jumped to responsibility, "Donghyuck, give Taeyong the brief, and then get some eyes to follow Meihua. You can take Suxy, Didi, Lola and Lucas for help. Taeyong and I will focus on the mission."
The two youngers nodded in agreement before getting on with their job. Donghyuck messaged the four that could help and waited for Taeyong to give orders for who would switch out into which posts before telling them to exit the base.

Meihua still remembered where her house was. The house where she had celebrated her 18th, the one with the red door and the bus stop just across from it and the shop that her parents owned just down the road.
Though, that day when she found the phone, she was only told to listen to one voicemail, she couldn't help but listen to all of them. Yangyang had told her that he was waiting for her to come back. On this specific day - he would be waiting.
Whether he was her brother by blood didn't change the fact that she loved him. And it also didn't make her any less naïve, which it would have been ten times better had it had that effect.
"Yangyang?.."
She called out as she entered the living room, seeing him sitting there in an armchair before a cup of tea.
Then someone else appeared behind him, a girl. "Who are you?" Meihua asked the girl.
"Yangyang, tell her who I am." She prompted and he smiled widely and answered. "She's my friend."
"And, Liu Meihua, do you know who else's friend I am? Yours, I'm your friend too." Meihua tried to think. She didn't know this girl, how could they be friends?
"I don't know.. who you are though. How could we be friends?" "Oh, silly me... You don't know my name. Yangyang, tell her my name."
Yangyang's grin became even wider, if that was possible. He answered immediately again, "Her name is Ningning."
Suddenly, Meihua had memories. Ningning, the neighbour. The girl who she had been so close to. Meihua thought she had died in the bombing.
"Nono, Yangyang, be sensible. My real name, I know you know it." Now Meihua was confused.
Yangyang's smile widened once more and at that point it was just downright creepy. "Her name is Ning Yizhou."
Meihua's head pounded just as fast as her heart did as everything came back to her. Not quite everything but a lot. Stuff from before she went to Korea came back too. Ning Yizhou was one of the girls she grew up with. Along with a myriad of other names too.
"Do you know who I am now, Meihua?" She glanced around the room, wanting an escape from the suffocation of her mind. That's when she spotted them, great big black snakes curling around the edges of the walls. Haizhen had warned her to run in a situation like this.
She took a step forward to be away from the snakes; accidentally nudging the table in the process. Causing the cup of tea to fall over and fall onto Yangyang. As the liquid seeped out of the cup, he didn't move. Just looked up at her with that every present grin and hissing noises became audibly.
Mist rose from Yangyang's body and lights flashed spontaneously, wires poking out as his features began to whir. That wasn't Yangyang. Whether it was a robot or something, Meihua had no idea, but she knew it wasn't her brother.
"Do you remember everything now, Meihua? Do you remembering leaving us now? Or do you still need a push?"
And with that last sentence, Ningning pointed a gun at Meihua.
