"You said you had a plan!?" Jeonghan shouted. 

"We did- uh, do. We do!" Jisung stuttered, indicating towards the burning building - or at least whatever was left of it that was now burning. 

"The house blew up!" 

Jisung nodded, not quite getting Jeonghan's urgency. "Yeah-" He looked at Chenle for help who just shrugged and said, 

"That was planned." 

"You-" Jeonghan frowned. "When did you even put explosives in the house?!" 

"The other day when you called and told us Li Huang wouldn't be home at night," Chenle explained. 

"But you said you weren't there yet then?" 

"We weren't," Chenle confirmed. "WayV was though." 

Nodding as if he understood it now, Jeonghan's eyes travelled back to the flames further down the road. 

He was a little less worried now but still visibly freaked out. He glimpsed over to Jaemin who moved back and forth nervously, yet didn't seem particularly anxious. 

If Jaemin was comparatively calm then, he figured, it should be fine. 

Right? 

"There were a lot of people in the house," Jeonghan recalled. "How did you get her out?" 

"With a lot of people of our own."

Kwang-sik smiled at Winwin. "Hey!"

And Winwin, already exhausted, offered him a brief nod of his head.
"Hey."

"I know we discussed all of this separately already," Taeyong said, "But I want to quickly go over it again just so everything is clear."

Both, Kwang-sik and Kun, motioned him to keep going, yet he wasn't the one who continued talking.

"We really have to rely on you here," Doyoung urged. "If we tried to distract him, Li Huang would notice, so you are on your own."

Ten grimaced. "Great, thanks."

"It will be okay, you guys have a lot of people," Taeyong pointed out, shooting a quick smile to Kwang-sik who dismissed his overly polite attitude. "So, the thing is, he probably won't allow us to take her with us."

"What if he does allow it?" Hendery questioned.

"Even easier then," Doyoung said. "Just lock them in and blow them up."

Yangyang grinned. "Fun."

"It probably won't be that easy though. But Jeonghan said she stays in a room upstairs. If we leave without her, he will most likely bring her back to that room. The staircase is close to the back entrance. You have to be quick then and get her out."

"What if they notice us?"

"That's fine at this point," Taeyong said. "Kwang-sik's men will focus on keeping everyone inside the house or at least on the property so they die for sure."

"We can kill them even before the explosion as long as we are quiet, right?" Kwang-sik asked, just to make sure.

Doyoung shrugged. "Kill as many as you feel like. Doesn't matter how they die."

"Okay, so," Kun spoke up, ready to summarize. "We wait until you are gone, get Jie out of there, make sure they can't follow us, then we leave and blow up the house?"
