16. September 2143, Monday

The ex-agent knocked on the door three times, hoping that someone on the other side would open the huge, thick concrete wall for him right now.

If he was watching himself from the third person, he would probably laugh at himself. No one in their right mind would think that was a good idea. Without a proper plan, let alone a backup plan, knocking on what was probably a meter-thick concrete door completely alone without support. Brilliant, really.

What on earth would you expect if an ex-agent knocked on the guerrillas' bunker and they opened the door for him? Welcome him with open arms and invite Yunho in for some coffee and cake? Probably not.

He was aware that it was a stupid thought, but his impulse and the hope of finding shelter with the guerrillas made him act like this. He didn't know where else to go.

Yunho waited a little after he knocked and then knocked again a few minutes later. "Maybe this bunker is empty," Yunho thought thoughtfully and took off his backpack to get out his map, where he had drawn the rough radius of the guerrillas' suspected bunker. However, he first took a step back to get another overview of the door and its surroundings before taking out the map. As he did so, he noticed something small and red flashing on the corner of the door.

"A camera?" He leaned towards the little thing questioningly. But not a second later, he heard it rattling on the other side. Then the thick concrete door was suddenly pushed aside. "Mingi, Hyunjin, already ba-" someone with black hair began to ask, but stopped in mid-sentence when he realized that ex-agent Jeong Yunho was standing in front of him.

The black-haired man was standing there with his hair all messy and with Pjyma, looking like he was about to go to bed. Well, it was already after one o'clock at night.

"H-hello," Yunho began shyly, taking the backpack in his hand and raising his other hand in greeting. "What the..." Wooyoung couldn't believe it and widened his eyes in shock. "What the hell is the agent doing here?" he thought in a panic and tried to push the steel door shut again, but Yunho pushed against it. "I come in peace!" said the taller one, as if he were an alien.

"Emergency level red! Guys, the fucking agent is at the door!" Wooyoung shouted in disarray and let go of the steel door as the other one was definitely stronger. San quickly came towards him, followed by Jeongin and Hongjoong, who was holding a broom as a weapon. When they saw the ex-agent, the three of them flinched but did not back off.

The intruder entered the dressing room and raised his arms in the air, letting go of his backpack. "I don't want to fight!" he said sternly. None of the guerrillas moved and all of them stood ready to attack, Hongjoong with the broomstick pointed at the enemy.

Everyone was in their sleeping clothes, some even barefoot. San had just joined them, waking up from his nap with his eyes only half open because of the bright light. If he had been wide awake, he would have grabbed the intruder immediately, but now he first had to realize what was going on.

"What do you want?" Hongjoong asked threateningly after Wooyoung hid behind the other three in a flash. "It's not what it looks like! I'm not here to capture you or anything like that. I'm one of you now and-"

"Liar! Where are your other jumping jack colleagues?" asked Wooyoung, looking over San's shoulder at the intruder. "My chip is burnt out. Wait, I'll show you!" he said and slowly lowered his raised arms to take something out of his jacket pocket. "Stop! Keep your hands up where we can see them!" San suddenly shouted angrily, he had finally understood what was going on. Yunho immediately raised his arms again.
