   Seungcheol paced back and forth across the room. Nervousness surrounded him; hands constantly intertwined with one another and fingers tugged at the loose skin that surrounded his nails. The mafioso, who sat down by a zoned out Joshua, watched these motions with a twitching eye. The leader's anxiety was contagious.

   "Cheol!" He yelled out once the other drew blood from his own finger. "Sit your ass down! All that pacing is driving me crazy!"

   At this, the other only scowled in return and yet did as told and sat on the seat that was the furthest away from the two inmates. Not even minutes after doing so, however, he began to bounce his leg up and down very rapidly, causing the table to shake and a vein to pop in the mafioso's forehead.

   "Cheol I swear to god-"

   "Gosh!" He exclaimed as he threw his hands in the air and then slammed them on the table. "If it bothers you so much then fucking ignore it!"

   "How can I ignore it when you're literally causing an earthquake?!"

   "Look at Joshua! He's ignoring it!"

   "Was,” The freak in question said as he huffed out a bitter sigh. “Until you slammed the table and ruined all the hopes and dreams I was having”

   The leader rolled his eyes. “You two are so annoying sometimes I swear I’ll begin to electrocute the two of you for fun from now on”

   Joshua scowled. “Such a sadist”

   “The worst,” Jeonghan agreed.

   “Tch, where are those other three even at? They said they wouldn’t take long but it’s been 30 minutes since you two arrived and there hasn’t even been a word from them!”

   “I heard from Hao that Hoshi was training before this, so he’ll probably arrive in a few.” Joshua mentioned as he spun in the chair. “No idea where the other two went though. Probably to go fetch the recording from Chan’s office or information from the archive room”

   At this, Seungcheol raised an eyebrow. “The recording? What recording?”

   “What do you mean? Obviously the one we got from the Plum Bots. You know, the one that has the face of our supposed traitor in it?”

   Now that was interesting. “Huh. And who told you that Joshua-shii?”

   “Hoshi.”

   “Hoshi?”

   “Yeah.” Jeonghan added. “He told me as well that we’d be talking about the traitor. He seemed very excited too so I thought you were the one who had broken the news to him and the idiot had just spilled the beans ahead of time so I didn’t really question it”

   “Oh my god, this just keeps on getting worse and worse doesn’t it?” A tired expression consumed the leader as he slumped back on the chair with a squeak. “We’ll just have to wait and see what all this is about now won’t we?”

   The mafioso frowned. “What do you mean?”

   “The person who’ll be visiting us today is first division commander of the upper headquarters, Mr. Choi Min-ho, the person who has the closest ties to almost every powerful government on the planet.” He frowned. “Which is why I couldn’t understand why he wanted to come into SVT in the first place. He only explained that he had something to share with the group dealing directly with LUNA, and didn’t elaborate on anything further than that.”

   “So you’re saying Hoshi was spouting shit out of his ass?”

   “I think? I don’t even know anymore” Seungcheol laid out on the table very defeatedly. “The dude is nuts. Chan is nuts. Minghao is medicated nuts. I don’t know what the hell this meeting is about and LUNA is out there causing rampage”
