Reconvene at Bangtan Tower

Lara and the others stepped off the elevator and stood on the edge of the room until Yoongi realized they weren't directly behind him.

He turned slightly and shot Blair a smirk, then walked forwards into what Lara assumed was a literal state of the art kitchen. Blair huffed a little and grabbed Lara's hand.

"Come on," she huffed and dragged Lara forward with her. Lara turned and grabbed Lisa Balagula's hand. Who in turn, reached out for Darcy's hand, making both the younger girls smile.

"It's a little Wizard of Oz," whispered Darcy and Lisa Balagula was started into a laugh.

"I must be the scarecrow tonight then, for I fear I lost all my brains before we ever got here," she said softly.

Lara sympathized with the girl and squeezed her hand once until Lisa looked up at her.

"Let's find you guys something to eat first, and then we'll talk about everything. But I want you to know, that the Agron's would have planned for weeks, if not entire months to get to you and your father this way. There was very little you could have done in advance to prep for something like this," said Lara firmly.

Lisa looked like she wanted to argue, but the girls rounded the corner and stepped into the kitchen fully.

Lara's eyes wandered over what was surely a Wolf commercial range, coupled with a range of the most exquisite royal blue color which came with what she could have sworn was a teppanyaki dish. Her eyes wondered over the dual refrigerators and across to a nook that seemed to contain at least three different coffee machines.

"This is as big as the kitchen in my university," said Lisa in a murmur and Darcy nodded.

"This is huge," she said. "And rather suspiciously not like the outside of the building at all," Darcy said with a frown.

Jimin overheard and came back over to draw the girls more fully into the room.

"Come, come, you can't eat in the entry way. Blair, can you help Yoongi hyung with the cooking. Lara-Noona can you stay with our Leadernim, I'm certain he'd be able to take you someplace to wash up," he finished.

Finally, he turned to Lisa Balagula and smiled gently.

"Will you please come this way and share a meal with us. My brothers are working on your father right now," he said slowly in English causing Darcy's eyebrow to raise up again.

Ignoring Darcy, Jimin continued.

"Ginny-Noona and Hobi-hyung are working very hard on getting the wound treated and cleaned. He's in some pain right now because of the wound and Ginny-Noona believes it would be best if he had a few hours of rest. But, after you've eaten and before you get some rest yourself, Darcy and I will take you to see him if that's alright," said Jimin.

Lisa Balagula looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment and finally Darcy gave in.

"It's alright. You didn't know. You couldn't have known. My friends will take care of him, and it will be alright," said Darcy as she gave the girl a hug. The small act of kindness was apparently enough for Lisa to lose control over her emotions entirely and she began to sob in Darcy's arms.

Lara was alarmed but Darcy shook her head, and then she and Jimin guided Lisa through the dining room into a small sitting area to the side of the room and all three of them sat, with Lisa nicely sandwiched between them.

"Hyung, how long till chow," asked JK into the quiet of the kitchen and Lara glanced at her little brother.

Yoongi frowned a bit, then looked to Jungkook.
