LOST YET FOUND: II (SVT MAFIA AU)

20

Striding towards the basement of this mansion felt eerily familiar yet new to Yiseul. The long hallway stood infront of her dauntingly. Confusion etched upon her face as she deceived which room contained atleast anyone from the gang.

"You don't know what an amusement park is?!" Yiseul momentarily had forgotten that Haneul had gone through a rough childhood, unable to attain the pleasures of worldy things such as schooling, parks, etc.

"We're going then" and that's what had led Yiseul towards the basement. If it were before she had gone MIA, or temporarily dead, the girl would have confidently made her to way towards it but everything had changed.

Opening the first door that came into view, Yiseul immediately scrunched her nose at the discomfort of smell, blood that was. The room was probably designed sound proof because you couldn't hear a thing outside while the inner picture was extremely horrendous.

A man was tied to a chair with a flickering bulb hung on the ceiling just above him. His face was beaten to pulp while his nails were yanked out of his fingers, blood trickling down his face. Infront of him stood, Wonwoo, his hands bloodied and busted.

"What brings you here?" his attention had slipped from the man directly to Yiseul who was frozen in her place. "Excuse Me?" Yiseul couldn't avert his gaze from the beaten up man, terrified at what her friends were doing.

"It's normal, you know" biting her lips, Yiseul finally gazed up at Wonwoo who was busy wiping down the blood on his clothes. "Normal?" her voice was barely a whisper, horrified at the sight lying ahead of her.

Though she knew very well that they were a MAFIA gang but she had never witnessed them being so ruthless to anyone not even their enemies. She gasped when she realised the change that had occured while she was gone was terrible. SVT no longer remained the gang that held power and prestige, it had transformed into a cruel group just like the many others.

"Your work here?" tensing at his query, "I'm going to take Haneul on a day out so I wanted to inform someone about it" Nodding slowly at her words he released a deep sigh. "Want someone to accompany you?"

Yiseul disagreed to the idea saying, "It's not like anyone knows I'm back so we'll be fine" Raising his brows Wonwoo once again confirmed, "No members? No guards?" Waving her hand dismissively, Yiseul walked out of the room being very eager to leave.

'What about the charity shelters that I had formed? What about the people in need that they helped? WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AWAY?'

Yiseul flinched when she heard a voice from behind, "Your Charity Shelters are still intact and we still help those in need" Facepalming herself internally, Yiseul grinned at Joshua who had heard her monologue that she had apparently spoken out loud.

"And what happened while you were away" he sucked in a deep breath, "Things changed. Most of us thought that turning our pain into power would be an ideal choice but-" Yiseul could decipher he wasn't one of them but had to follow the majority herd.

"It led to many of us being caught up in government matters most of the time. To be honest, we were a MAFIA group built solely to find you though, we were the strongest, we had always looked power as a way to help those in need or keep the illegal matters out of the context for the public but ALAS"

Yiseul than understood how her late arrival had caused the whole group and their functions to change. "And I believe there's no going back now" Which was true. Though the span of 3 months may seem extremely short, It was exceedingly long for the transformations to occur.

"Do you want to accompany me and Haneul to the amusement park?" though hesitant at first, Joshua agreed to go with them for their own safety. Even if Yiseul wasn't the real one or was an imposter, she still employed the same face as Seungcheol's sister. Joshua couldn't risk it.

"See you in an hour then" Bouncing her way towards her room, Yiseul came to a screeching halt at Minghao's door. Knocking twice, she bursted through the room.

"Amusement park?" Shaking his head, Minghao immersed himself in reading the book while sipping on his tea. "I'm tired" so Yiseul had thought so. "When are you not?" Smacking his head, Yiseul teased him before rushing out the door with a whining Minghao being left rubbing the spot she had hit.

With her leg finally being able to move without any assistance, Yiseul felt like a free bird. Only a small bandage was wrapped around her head while all the other wounds had almost healed.

Getting herself and Haneul ready, she stepped downstairs with the boy by her side to notice Joshua sat on the couch with his legs crossed. "Ready?" he inquired to which the pair had nodded, excitedly.

Settling Haneul in the baby seat in the backseat, Joshua opened the passenger door to let Yiseul sit who gracefully thanked him. "Why do you have a baby seat?" Humming at her while reversing the car from the parking lot he said, "I bought it online just now"

When he pulled in the driveway, he turned around to face Yiseul and his body inclined towards Haneul. "Let's go, Shall we?"

"Yeah!"
