~Aspect's P.O.V~

Every day that had passed I spent with mostly Lucas. We trained, we watched movies and we hung out. Just like how we used to. I loved spending time with him, and I didn't understand how much I truly missed him. I still made time for Jaehyun and Taeyong. I slept in Taeyong's room and spent parts of my day hanging with him even if he was busy. Jaehyun and I consistently went to the cafe, at least once a day. I even hung out with Straykids some nights. However when ever I left Yukhei he'd always whine and complain. He even asked me out on a 'date' and I went, just to make him happy. 

Throughout all of this I worked alongside WayV and NCT to try and locate Seventeen. We needed to get revenge for my mother, I  had to get revenge for my mother. Although, much to our dismay, nothing's turned up so far.

We had a private funeral for my mom. Only certain groups were allowed. The ones we were closest too. EXO, NCT, WayV, Straykids and Red Velvet were the only ones invited. We didn't want to have a huge reception since we knew my mother wouldn't want that. Instead we buried her peacefully, alongside my brother and father. That day I honestly believe Chanyeol cried the most, he was absolutely devastated over my mother. I couldn't blame him though, my mom was a beaut that was hard to come by.

After the reception Chan spent a couple of nights at our base and made sure I wasn't alone, much to Taeyong's dismay. I had been sleeping in his room every night, so when he was alone he didn't like it very much. He quickly got over it though, after I bought him a pink bunny to cuddle with. 

"Here, I got this for you. Now when I'm not in there you won't have to sleep alone" I told him, and when he opened it he was thrilled. He even went as far to say as he didn't need me anymore since he had his bunny.

After the week had passed it was finally time to meet up with Lola, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. I hadn't seen her in years, and the last time I had talked to her we got into an argument. I always regretted that day, since later that night we found out that 'NCT killed her'. When I got ready to go, Taeyong joined me. I looked at him confused and he shrugged.

"I'd also like to see her you know" He smiled and I just laughed, my nerves never ending.

"Alright, then let's go" I told him, and so we left my room, getting ready to leave.

"Where are you two going?" Jaehyun asked us, cocking a brow. I rolled my eyes at his behavior but he just remained stoic.

"Taeyong and I are-" I went to say until he cut me off.

"Going out to dinner. Together" He said, shooting me a smile.

"Woah, Woah wait. So you two are going on a date?" Doyoung questioned, causing Yukhei to turn his head and glare.

"No! No, we're meeting with some business partners and I'm bringing Aspect to help" He lied through his teeth, the whole room believing it.

Once they were done giving us a hard time, we left the house. Taeyong told me to wait out front while he pulled one of his cars out of the garage. I swear my jaw hit the floor when he did, I couldn't help but gawk.

When he drove out he was riding in a jet black 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan. When he reached me he rolled down the window. "Quit looking and get in" He said, a smirk on his face, and I happily obliged.

When I got in he immediately took off, while I was still in amazement.

When we arrived at the location, even I got the creeps. It was an abandoned warehouse, and not going to lie I got a lot of flashbacks. However I sucked it up and headed inside with Taeyong.

He grabbed my hand and led me through the warehouse, like he knew it well. "How do you know this place so well, Taeyong?" I asked him, growing more anxious.

"Well, this warehouse used to be ours. However, that's a story for another day" He told me, and I dismissed the question seeing as it seemed like a touchy subject, and just continued to follow him. Until we reached an opening and I saw someone standing there. When the person heard footsteps, they turned around and I immediately noticed her.

Lola.

She looks the exact same. When I saw her it was like nothing had changed. I quickly ran up to her and gave her a hug, one that she returned. I held back my tears as I hugged her so tight, worried she'd leave again.

"Hey, I heard about your mom Aspect. I am so sorry" She apologized and I just shook my head, pulling away from the hug and smiling at her.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. How have you been?" I asked her, my mind racing. I wanted to say and ask so many things, I don't even know if I could get to them all.

"I've been okay. I moved to the US after the whole incident and I've been hiding. I changed my name, got a fake passport. You know, all that good stuff. I actually manage a pretty successful business that does work for NCT under the table" She told me with a wink and I laughed.

"That's amazing Lola, I'm glad you're doing well. But I think we both know the question I have to ask" I said to her, seriously. She sighed and looked at me with big eyes.

"You want to know why I faked my death and just disappeared. Yeah, I know. But you're not gonna believe me if I tell you" She spoke softly, worry laced in her voice.

"Try me" 

~Time Skip~

"What!? No, you're crazy!" I exclaimed, not believing her. She just shook her head at me. 

"I swear that's the truth! He's psychotic Y/N, I told you you wouldn't believe me!" She angrily shouted and I just spaced out, not wanting to believe her.

"H-How. Why? Why would he do something like that?" I whispered, trying to take it all in. If she was telling the truth, despite me not wanting to believe it, it would explain a lot. 

"I don't know Y/N, but judging by what you're telling me you are not safe, none of you are" She warned, and before I could say anything else Taeyong stepped forward.

"So then tell us what we have to do" He commanded, and Lola sighed.

"Okay, but if we're gonna do this, it has to go perfectly and we have to do it as soon as possible. Before something worse happens" She told me, shooting my a sympathetic smile. I ignored it though, too focused on the task at hand.

"What's the plan?"
