17. Attempt

"Nari..." I silently whisper as I look at the past history. She's been completely cut off. It's only been a day, but it's already worrying. It's especially frustrating now that the messenger is getting attacked all of a sudden. 'These are random attacks...right?' This can't possible be connected...

"...Seven!" I jump before staring over at Viktor. He frowns as he stares at me.

"What?! I told you I need to concentrate so go do something else!" 'God, I felt like I could kick him out anytime soon.'

"Well you seem to only be staring off into space since you're being hacked again." I soon notice the messenger. I thought he was done with his attacks now, but he quickly began again?!

"Crap why now of all time?" I drag my voice as I quickly get onto it.

Viktor silently stood there, "...is there anything I can help with?" I sigh before shaking my head.

"Do whatever you want...just don't bother me."

...

I sigh as I look to the side, "well you don't have to be mean about it," I comment before walking back. There was soon a ring. It was the door.

"Ah- it can't be...um thank God, but go hide Viktor!" He looks over at me. I nod my head before quickly finding an area to hide. Seven quickly rushes over before opening the door. "V, what are you doing here?" He sounded nervous. I hid in Seven's work space behind some of his equipment. They weren't anywhere near here which was a good thing.

"I wanted to see if you were alright. Considering everything that's going on right now, but it seems like your house is...a lot cleaner than usual. Did you start cleaning?" I internally groan. He has no idea how much of a mess Seven can make within an hour.

"O-Oh I have my maid as you know so she cleaned up a bit." 'Maid?' "But I already told you I have everything under control."

"It seems so..., but I'd like to add on that you actually look a bit more healthier how did that happen?" Cooking for him hasn't been ideal either...he's picky.

"Well I laid off a bit on the honey Buddha chips, and Ph. D Pepper," I soon heard the foot steps come closer. 'Wait...this sounds more like an interrogation' It's starting to sound like he's looking for something. "V, what's up with all these comments?" Seven questions as he comes near. "Uh you don't really need to go there."

I soon heard a sigh, "it really saddens me when you hide things, but I can understand."

"W-wait V!" The man soon came over. I try moving back, but I only hit the wall. Seven looked up looking agitated.

...

He was just a young boy maybe younger than Yoosung. He looked towards Seven, but Seven didn't say anything. "And you are...?" He slightly opens his mouth, but didn't speak.

"Wait V! He isn't anyone to worry about!" Seven looks to the side. I could see the boy visibly frown. "He...um got kicked out of his...home for being an 'idiot', and is now living here for the time being."

"Um-," Seven shot him a glare that immediately stopped him from talking.

"I see...that's quite unfortunate." To think he'd give me such an odd answer. "Mind telling me your name?" He looked very crushed behind all the equipment.

The boy glanced over towards Seven who now seemed defeated. Seven sighs before nodding his head "It's...Viktor," he mumbled out.

"Well Viktor, you seem pretty crushed up behind there. How about sliding out?"
