Troubles

The lights were off and we were getting off the stage. I was exhausted but at the same time very happy. Tonight's concert was the last one for this tour and it went very well. We all gave our best and the fans were very happy with us which in return made us happy.
"Here" Kai shoved a bottle towards me and I accepted it gratefully gulping it down in 10 seconds.
"Chanyeol drink slowly" chided suho. I just chuckled at him and nodded. He sighed and went ahead to check other members. It was something suho has always done. He checks if all of us are alright. A leader that he is.
Everyone is tired and now it's time to wrap up the show. All the staff is congratulating us for successful end of the concert.
"Thank you so much" said our leader as usual but with real feelings of gratitude.
"We would not be here without all of your support and help. Really thank you and please continue to look after us in the future."
All 8 of us are now changed into normal clothes and are now heading to restraunt for celebratory dinner.
"Hyung I am so hungry when are we reaching there~" whined kai. He was indeed hungry.
"Why did you not eat before the concert jongin ah, now wait a little till we reach restaurant." Asked Chen concerned about him.
" I did not have time to eat hyung."
" I have some cookies do you want any." DO offered kai some cookies from his box which God knows from where he produced.
" Where did you get that?"
"Cookies??!!"
And like that all the members attacked the cookies like five years old... including me.
"Chanyeol don't you want any more?" Lay asked me quizically.
"Nah...bro you guys enjoy I am not hungry." He nodded and everyone went back to their usual bickering till we reach the restraunt.
I rested my head against the cold window and closed my eyes.
As expected I saw a pair of deep greenish blue eyes. The color of deep sea. Enough to make me forget everything. And like that I fell asleep. For a little longer I wanted to be at peace with the storm inside.
"Chanyeol, Chan, wake up" Someone is shaking me.
"Hmmm...."
"Wake up chanyeol!!" This was not the regular tone beakhyun used to wake me up. I instantly woke up and saw his worried face. I looked around. This is not a restaurant. Where are we?
I turned my head to suho and asked him
" Are we not at restraunt?"
"No chanyeol, something came up. We are told to come here."
But his tone was uneasy. It was not like our usual change of plans due to saesang fans. He looked very alert and worried. So I asked again
" Will someone tell me what really happened?"
" We will know when we go up there" segun said climbing out of the car. I looked at the direction and saw a five storied building. A very normal building. Normally we would not walk anywhere because someone told us to but it was our CEO who called so we knew something was urgent.
So curiously we all along with our eight managers went inside the building.
The building had very tight security. When we reached the gates a man dressed in black suit came forward.
"Hello gentlemen, I am Chris. I will guide you to the floor. Mr. Lee is waiting for you" He greeted with a smile.
With that we were passed by few hallways and reached an elevator. Every guard was standing in black. We were used to security but these guys seemed different that usual. Something was different about them which gave us creeps.
Suho stepped into the elevator first and then we followed. A girl also in black greeted us.
"Fourth floor please Maggie." Said Chris. She smiled and nodded. And the lift moved upward.
"Which division?" She asked him.
"Black ops" he replied.
We just looked at them and then at each other.
" I have a bad feeling about this." Said baekhyun echoing exactly our thoughts.
The lift stopped.
" This way please." Chris directed us into a hallway. We followed. He stopped infront of a door.
"Gentlemen we are here." He knocked on the door.
"Come in" came a response.
I don't know why but my heart is beating very fast. Like some one is pulling me from inside like I should just open the door and see the treasure inside.
Suho stepped in first and we felt him sigh in relief. We all got relaxed and followed after him.
Mr. Lee was sitting on a sofa along with two other men dressed in black. One more person was sitting opposite to them on the big sofa but we couldn't see the face. The room was bright and had enough space for all of us to sit.
" You are here. Thank God. Come sit here, hurry up."
We followed the command and moved ahead.
" You all must be wondering why I called you here so urgently?" He asked. We all nodded.
" Well you see there is something you need to see." And he showed us some pictures. They were our pictures from different places we have been to on past week. None of us showed any reaction. He called us here for these petty pictures? What nonsense. Before any of us could say something rude suho intervened.
"I don't understand. What does it mean?"
Mr.Lee wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at a person sitting to his right.
" Mr. Yoon will tell you."
" Hello I am Jang ji Yoon. Chief Ganeral of intelligence forces." Now it's getting interesting. What is wrong?
" These are indeed your pictures but can you see these cars behind your cars."
He pointed at few cars in the pictures. And interestingly we could. They were very ordinary cars. We nodded.
" These cars belong to a mafia racket who specialise in smuggling and kidnapping."
"What?" Sehun half shouted surprised.
"Yes. They are after you"
" But these cars don't prove anything they could be of anyone's" I observed.
Ganeral Yoon smiled and went on further explaining.
" We thought the same but look here. This man, he took kyungsoo's autograph Tuesday at Incheon airport at 13 :16 when he was returning from China."
On such detailed summary we all looked at the picture more carefully. Indeed there was a man taking kyungsoo's autograph. He wore normal casual clothes, had a ring on his left eyebrow with blonde hair.
Kyungsoo also examined the person.
" I don't remember it clearly but the picture is clear. I did give him my autograph."
" Of course you don't remember clearly. You give alot of people alot of autographs and you can't remember each face. But this person here is trouble. A big one."
He reached for his tab and turned it towards us showing a profile of the same man on the picture. This profile was same as you see in the movies.
"His name is Bang Soo Man. He is an errand boy for the mafia gang known as Doom. This gang kidnaps VIP's and sell them overseas. Once caught by them even your ashes won't ever be found." Right that is something we need to hear.
"Why are they doing this to us? What did we do?" Kai asked a bit worried.
"I think you will have to wait to know that. This much information is enough for you for now. We will tell you everything whenever is needed."
He said.
" Then how are you going to deal with it?" I and suho asked at the same time.
" That is why we called you here. Our organization is working for the same reason for years and it's not the first time we are dealing with them. We are a special force created to handle such situations. "
That confidence is something that made us want to believe in him. I leaned back on the sofa tapping my finger on my knee. This is a real mess. We all are in big danger and no one is really telling us everything. Whatever the reason they have to hide it I don't like it.
" Therefore from now on till the danger is dealt with you will be under the protection of Mr. Yoon's team." Informed Mr.Lee.
"Right, My team will be responsible for your safety." He agreed and with that he spoke in his sleeve. I think there is a microphone in his sleeve.
"Come in"
Within five seconds there was a knock on the door and the door opened. Revealing a figure in black suit.
A girl walked in and stood near the table with her hands behind her back. She had her hair tied in ponytail. Black sunglasses hiding her eyes, impassive face and stern expression. She had the lips the color of red roses skin fair and glowing.
My breath hitched in my throat and my heart was beating at an unimaginable speed. All the memories rushed back to me like a rollercoaster. I don't know what I am feeling right now. There is a combination of joy and pain, relief and heartbreak, anger and love all at once.
I felt a hand clutching mine and directing me to stay seated. I didn't realise when but I was standing up. I turned my head and it was baekhyun. He was looking at me with worry on his face. I looked at other members they were also looking at me...concerned.
"What is it Chanyeol?" Asked Mr.Lee
"Huh...?"
My thoughts are a complete mess.
" I think he needs to use washroom." Kyungsoo helped covering for me.
" Oh...it's the third right in the hallway."
Mr. Yoon informed but I am still not moving. With a sigh I sat on my seat. He looked at me confused.
"I think I can hold it for a while." I replied. In truth I did not want to leave yet. I again looked at the girl standing impassively. Baekhyun elbowed me signalling me to compose myself. I nodded and looked away. But my heart is still unsettled.
That girl gave a salute to Chief General.
" At ease. Gentlemen this is my officer who will be taking charge of your safety. Her name is Vanessa Cross. And Vanessa I believe you know who they are...?"
Vanessa nodded.
" Yes Sir, I read the report."
Her voice. Just like I remember. Hearing it again for real made my beating heart skip a beat or two. Still she was cold. She said she knew us because she read the report not because she knew about us beforehand.
Then she turned to us and offered her hand to suho.
" Hello, I am agent Cross. Nice meeting you."
