CHAPTER XXV : The Attack

❛ ━━・❪ ❁ ❫ ・━━ ❜

Team 127 and Team Wayv landed in Spain. As they quietly navigated through the unfamiliar surroundings, Haechan's eyes darted between the shadows, searching for any sign of Areum.

The tension hung heavy in the air, each step carrying the weight of a vendetta reaching it's climax.

"We're close. Keep your focus" Haechan whispered.

"This is it, guys. Stay sharp" Taeyong continued.

"Rain's affecting the digital feed, but we're still tracking" Chenle informed them through the comms.

"This just got more interesting!" Kun grinned

A sudden movement in the alley caught Haechan's attention. The silhouette of Areum appeared, surrounded by her gang members.

"There they are. Get ready" Without hesitation, Haechan finally signals the attack and chaos ensues.

"Go, go, go!" Johnny shouted

The alley transforms into a battleground as punches and kicks echo through the night "Watch your six!" WinWin grunts

The rainy night was deafened by the chaotic symphony of punches, kicks, and exchanged words.

Haechan, locked eyes with Areum. Areum, struggling beneath the onslaught, attempted to speak through the chaos.

"Haechan, listen! We can talk about this. There's more to the story!" Areum shouted through the sounds of thunder and rain.

But Haechan, fueled by anger and betrayal, remained relentless, refusing to let her words to get into him. Raindrops mixed with sweat as the two fought with each other

"Just stop with your lies, Areum!" Haechan spoke

"You don't know the whole truth! There's more at stake than you realize!" Areum raised her voice.

Haechan, ignoring her words, landed a decisive blow, sending Areum staggering "I don't fucking care about the truth!" Haechan spoke

Areum refused to back down. She countered with a swift kick "Babe, please hear me out. I'm begging you" Areum's voice was low and full of desperation.

Amidst the chaos behind them, Haechan momentarily paused at the sound of her begging.

He softened, memories of their shared history flickering in his eyes. Time felt like it was going slow for the both of them.

"Areum..."

But in that vulnerable moment, Haechan's thoughts shifted to Mark, to the pain and betrayal that had driven him to this point. He immediately changed.

"I trusted you once. This ends now"

Without further hesitation, Haechan blew a shot, not enough to cause lasting harm but enough to make her crumple to the ground.

"Shit!" Areum groaned as she lay subdued on the rain-soaked ground, Haechan hesitated before lifting her gently.

"We're settling this back in Korea" Haechan said, his voice low and there was a hint of softness in it.

The others, locked in their own battles, momentarily paused at Haechan's command.

"Guys, take care of the situation there. We're heading back to Korea. Prepare the jet" Haechan spoke through the comms.

-

As the jet touched down in Korea, Haechan carried Areum into a room in the warehouse. The flickering light in the room revealed scattered papers and overturned furniture"

"Welcome back" Haechan said as he gently placed Areum on a couch

"Babe-" Areum started.

"Save it" Haechan cut her off, his expression hardened and immediately left the room.

Areum's vision started to fail her and she fainted.

As Haechan leaves the room he was met with Renjun who was waiting for him outside "What do we do now?"

"Call Jeno and ask him to come back to Korea" Haechan said and Renjun nodded to him.

"Any updates on Team 127 and WayV?" He asked while he takes his leather jacket off.

"They're done. On their way back here" Renjun said and Haechan's gaze tightened, a mix of relief and anticipation crossing his face "Alright"

Renjun, taking it as that, was about to leave Haechan when he spoke again.

"Oh and another thing..." Haechan trailed off and he lets out a heavy sigh.

"Ask Hanni to leave some alcohol swabs for Areum in the room for her to treat her wounds. I shot her, it was just a missed shot but I think it slashed her arm. She was bleeding on our way back"

"Will do" Renjun answered
