Next Day

As Jaemin and Hyunjin talked, they decided to meet at an open cafe. One that had a lot of people, so it wouldn't be as suspicious.

Jaemin asked, "Are you sure you aren't planning anything?".

Jaemin just wanted to make sure Jeno didn't do anything stupid while they were outside the cafe. The last time he punched Hyunjin, the dude was hit in the face. After that, he attempted to run him over. It would only be concerning if they were not part of the Mafia.

Jeno answered, " Nana, I swear I won't do anything and if I did Junnie would kill me.

Renjun replied, "I'll do it. No questions asked.".

Jaemin replied, "Fine, I'll leave you alone.".

Waiting for Hyunjin and Minho to sit across from them, they sat at a table in the corner. The mere sight of Jeno with Jaemin surprised Hyunjin. The short boy was so familiar to him that Minho kept staring at him.

"So we were wondering if you knew who Team
X was? "  Hyunjin questioned. A to Z was his explanation. It's well known that Team X posed a threat to everyone in the game, including the police.
"Yeji was at Renjun's house, how could that be?" Jeno asked.

'Our boss might be working with them since you got that new deal you're on,' Minho said.

Renjun felt burdened sometimes since he doesn't want them to argue about anything. Despite their attempt at kidnapping him, he still wants peace.












1 am












Johnny stepped into the kitchen as Mark was busy preparing a meal. Clearly, the older man wasn't fond of him.

Johnny said, "I enjoy your company a lot.".

"It's alright. You're just trying to make me feel better." Mark replied. "You enjoy Haechan's company," he replied. Seeing the way they looked at each other, Johnny could not hate Mark. Keeping Haechan happy was all that mattered to him.

" I thought u two would never talk," Haechan said as he appeared from behind a corner.












9 pm










As usual, Chenle and Jisung hosted a movie night. The couple watched Encanto together on the couch in the living room.

"I'm worried about Renjun. What if he gets hurt?"
   said Jisung.

They knew who Team X's leader was, and haven't talked to anyone outside the race game since then.

Chenle said, "He'll come either way, so let's not stress over it right now. I don't want you to stress out.". Chenle knows his boyfriend is easily frustrated and can be off his game or even need to be scolded. He wants Jisung to feel secure and relieved.

"Can we go get ice cream?" Jisung laughed knowing the other wouldn't refuse the offer.

"I give up," he replied.
