"Where did you last see them?" San asked as he ran ahead with Mingi. Hongjoong was behind them talking to Chan and Felix.

"Yunho and Wooyoung are a few flights down. Seonghwa and Yeosang though, I'm not sure."

"Yunho!" San yelled out, his voice bouncing off the walls.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Mingi shrieked. San was just about to answer when a voice yelled back to him. "San!!"

"See it worked!" San said and fisted the air.

The group took a few more steps down before San and Yunho came barreling into each other in a bear hug, but it was short lived as Yunho winced in pain and hopped on one foot.

"What the hell happened to you?" Mingi pushed San out of the way and helped the brunette stand tall.

"I got shot by a shotgun, that's all."

"That's all? That's all?! Boy if you don't sit your ass down right now and let me clean you up I will-." Mingi was cut off by Yunho, doing as he was told.

While Mingi fussed over Yunho's leg, San turned towards Jongho and Wooyoung, who held onto each other tightly, and ran to pull them into a big hug as well. "Oh I'm so glad you guys are okay!" Wooyoung said and hugged San with one arm.

San stepped back and pulled Hongjoong into his side. "I'm glad we're all, somewhat, okay at least. Where are Seonghwa and Yeosang?"

"They aren't with you?"

"No."

San looked back and watched Hyunjin, Felix, and Chan all hug, a look of relief filled their eyes. "Who are you?" Yunho asked the big nose boy.

"Chan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh you got manners." Yunho said, amused.

San chuckled and opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off by another voice yelling at them. "Guys!"

All of them, except Yunho, looked over the railing. Seonghwa peeked his head up, Yeosang following close behind. "Seonghwa!"
Hongjoong called out.

"Run!" Yeosang and Seonghwa said in unison.

The faint sound of heavy footsteps and the rumble in the stairs were followed shortly after. When Yeosang and Seonghwa got there, they started to push the group up the stairs, forcing them to run.

The ground shook more as the group ran as fast as they could, for Yunho's sake as well. "Why are we running!?" Mingi shouted.

"They saw us hack into the database! We contacted Namjoon and he's on his way to pick us up! But we have to reach the rooftop!" Seonghwa shouted back, pushing Yeosang in front of him to keep an eye on the blonde.

"There's fifty-five floors! We'll never make it!" Hyunjin said.

Then, Chan surprised them all and stopped running. "What are you doing?!" San asked.

Chan grabbed the backpack off his shoulder and tossed it to San. "Take it! I'll hold them off for a while."

"What?! No! You worked so hard for this, come with us and we can hel-." San was cut off by bullets hitting the walls, making them duck out of instinct.
