Chapter five

Ria

Lilacs. Lilacs drowned in a pool of blood covers the big screen.

The nightmare is back again. "No, no, no." I repeat over and over. 

"Relax. Everything's gonna be okay." The man holding me says to my ear. 

And that shakes me out of my daze. Right, Jhope. The dude who only few hours ago told me his team has been threatened and expects me to help them. Snap out of it, you idiot. I regain my balance. "I'm terribly sorry, Sir." He gives me a reassuring smile. I turn my gaze back on the screen. On the bastard. Luckiest? My ass.

"Who is he?" Ronan asks.

"That's not important right now. What do we do?" Haidi turns to me. The room is surrounded. I don't need to look to know this. I feel it. People are panicking. I turn behind me. Bang Si Hyuk and Bangtan. Their threatening letter comes in mind. Please don't let this be what I think it is. Their eyes are frozen, triggered. Not on Joo Won. I follow their line. Fuck. Masked men. Not Nemesis, no. He wouldn't be working with them. I know. I can barely protect Haidi and Ronan unarmed. Okay, cool. let's assess the situation. "Let him speak and see what he's up to at the moment." There is so much I can do. 

"Oh, shit. Forgive my rudeness. I didn't introduce myself. I'm Joo Won and I'm gonna shake your world." Modesty at its highest. He walks around like he owns the damn place and I drown the urgent feeling to rip his freaking smirk off his face. "Today," He opens his arms. "We declare war to the Kpop intustry." I squeeze my eyes shut. There it is. I knew where this was going, but still hearing it doesn't make it any better. "Your lives will be at stake any minute from now on. Anyone who complies with us will not have to face consequences. The rest? I would like to see you beg for help."

And I snap. This bastard goes down today. I won't allow him to terrorize the people here. "You may think that this man right here is talking nonsense." He points to himself.

"Bullshits." I cut him off. He turns to me, genuinely surpised. "Let me correct you. He talks bullshits."

"My dear noona." He breaths.

"Don't you dare call me that. You have lost the right." How dare he.

He laughs. "You're so mean."

"What are you doing here Joo won?" I move closer.

"I could ask the same. You look beautiful in this dress. I don't think I ever saw you like this before."

"Answer the damn question. What are you doing here? What's this shit show you just introduced?"

"I'm pretty sure you know. Tae Jun hyung has been planning this for way too long." He smirks at his name.

I feel disgusted. I once cared for this kid. "I thought I had warned you, didn't I?" I lower my voice.

"And I thought we made ourselves clear that we don't care, didn't we? Don't blame us now." He arches an eyebrow.

"I have been away from the organization for only a few days. Seems like you took advantage of it. Seems to me, you forgot your place."

"Oh, is that why you're here alone? I mean I have been observing you today and your lapdog is nowhere around." Hyungsoo. He is talking about Hyungsoo. "You're here alone and unprotected. Am I right?" Technically yes, but don't challenge me. "Which makes me wonder." He takes a step closer., forcefully grabs my hand and whispers so only I can hear him. "Should I deliver a gift to my hyung? I'm pretty sure he's dying to have you...again." I hate him. I hate me. The small moment of weakness I show. The shiver that run in my spine and jerks me back.
