Taeyong was in his messy office room, just staring into the void. All he could think of was their rival gang. The more the time passes, the closer Trinity gets to them. Day by day the danger of getting killed was increasing and yet there wasn't a single clue, nor the whereabouts and what abouts of Trinity.

Just then, the door opened revealing Doyoung who looked a super serious.

"A man's here to meet you. He claims to have some information regarding Trinity, and surprisingly, he's unarmed." He spoke. Taeyong raised his eye suspiciously. 

It was very unusual for someone to take the courage and meet NCT's leader himself, that too at the headquarters without any weapons.

"Send him in." The leader ordered the other.

Doyoung proceeded to call the man but he stopped in his tracks. He noticed their leader being stressed out for the past few days. He hasn't come out of his office for very long so he decided to take him outside.

"How about you meet him in the investigating room? I don't think it's very safe in here and..." He let out a sigh. "you need to get out of this room for a little while."

Taeyong nodded and got out of his seat, following him out of the room.

The man was already escorted to the investigation room by Johnny and now the room was occupied by, them along with Mark, Jaehyun,Kun, Ten and Yuta. 

The man looked like he was in his late thirties, had strong features and was rather handsome than anyone had expected. 

Before anyone said anything, the man spoke up, which caught the leader off guard.

"My name is Choi Minhyun. I'm the leader of Trinity." 

That one sentence made all of them pull their guns out at a quick reflex and the barrels were pointed to his head at once. If all those eight triggers were about to be clicked, the man's head would blow up like a watermelon at an archery practice, but it would be worse.

"Ex. The Ex leader of Trinity."

Again the people in the room were caught off guard buy his words. Especially Mark. He couldn't believe what his ears had captured. He always hated seeing his leader under stress, and all that was because of Trinity. And now just a random man comes up all of a sudden and says that the Trinity they knew was nothing?

"Are you drunk?" Jaehyun asked, scoffing sarcastically. The man sighed deeply.

"Look, I know this is all super sudden but you have to believe me. I was the one who formed Trinity. We were previously like you. Helping others and killing the bad guys. But you know it was one of my friends...He was older than me and I trusted him enough to follow whatever he said because I took over the leadership when I was really young." The man paused and took a deep breath. "He tricked me and disclosed our information to a different gang, overthrew me, taking over Trinity."

"Then they merged Trinity and the other gang, and later took over a smaller gang belonging to China. And how do I know all of this? I've been keeping an eye on them ever since he tried to kill me, after he took over my place. Lee Daehyun. His name." Minhyun slid a polaroid onto the table in front of him.

This sounded like a familiar story to Mark but he couldn't pin point what it was, and where he had heard it.

"How do we trust you?" Yuta asked him. 

"You don't trust anybody. Just go with what your gut tells you." He walked upto Yuta and held a strong eye contact for second, and exited the room swiftly.

Taeyong walked to the nearest chair and dropped onto it softly, resting his elbows on his knees with his head in his hands.

"What kind of new bullshit is this?" Ten said.

"I don't know- this is just overwhelming and sudden." Doyoung said, shaking his head.

"He's right though. We don't trust anyone. We follow our conscience. And we are going to do that now too, aren't we?" Mark finally spoke. Everyone looked at their leader, expecting him to say something.

"We are."
