Ah Shit

"CHAN, CHAN GET UP NOW!!" A voice yells from the hall, scared and shaky.

I stir awake from my slumber, startled at the sudden change in volume around me. My eyes flutter open; I attempt to rub the blur from my eyes as I stagger out of bed and towards my door.

"CHAN PLEASE, PLEASE GET UP" He yells again, extremely upset.

I look out into the hall confused, as are the others.

In front of me is a frantic Changbin with tears streaming down his face.

"Binnie, Binnie, calm down a moment." I attempt to comfort the out of sorts boy, rushing to his side.

He tries to calm himself, taking deep breaths, shaking his hands out, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. As I try to guide him with self soothing actions I am joined by the others including Chan.

"What happened?" Chan asks, worried at the amount of emotion coming from his brother.

"It's TXT, I- I can't, they were-" He struggles to articulate, his calmed nerves irritated once more.

I take notice to his subtle movements. He's about to have a panic attack.

Immediately after realizing this I spring into action, "look at me, copy me. Deep breath in, deep breath out, you've got it."

He does as instructed, holding my gaze and copying me to the best of his abilities. The boys around us are silent, even more worried about their best friend.

Changbin begins to slow himself down gradually. Seeing this, I gently take hold of his hands.

We continue for a few more breaths. The air in the hallway is thick. Like we're props in a cursed jello mold from the 70s. Not the vibe, not the vibe.

"Alright, speak slow. What's going on Bin?" I ask, still holding his hands for support.

He takes a big breath before answering, "TXT, attacked, hurt."

"Alright alright, did they tell you where they are?" Chan questions softly, drawing nearer to Changbin.

"No no, I thought Yeonjun was going to answer when I got a call from him. But it wasn't. It was someone else" He informs us, trying to stay as calm as possible.

I give his hands a gentle squeeze in an attempt to keep him grounded, "what did they say? You've got this Binnie." I ask, attentive now to the fact that this TXT group is in a time sensitive situation.

"It was a man, he said something like 'one down, more to go, we're getting what's ours regardless of who we have to remove along the way. You can't get rid of me that easy' then I heard screams and the call ended." Changbin says, squeezing my hands for comfort and letting out a quiet sob.

"Fuck, okay Binnie, it's going to be okay" Felix says, taking my place as Changbin's support and wrapping him in a tight hug.

"Where's your phone sweetheart?" I ask him, knowing their phones automatically record calls.

"Kitchen counter" He replies, burying his face deeper into Felix.

I spring into work mode and sprint for the kitchen. These boys have done a lot for me in such a short time, it's time for me to return the favor in any way possible.

Fast footsteps approach behind me just as I find the recording.

Sure enough, it wasn't Yeonjun talking. I don't even have to know what he sounds like to know who this is.

It's Jay.

I look up to Chan, eyes wide with fear.

"Ah shit" we say simultaneously, knowing the plan to take them down starts now.
