Shield Of ITZY:Storm Arc

Sign

Two days, it has been two days since Ryujin's disappearance. Ryujin's bubble has MIDZYs in a state of panic. Ryujin was dating some bald man who just happened to look very handsome. Some took this as a joke, while others have already unsubscribed from Ryujin's bubble. Twitter was flooded with a lot of hate comments while others were in full support of Ryujin's relationship. Reader did his best to calm down Ryujin's fans on the Official Fanclub of Ryujin since they made up the majority. The situation was under control, for now at least. Specter has been holding onto his phone for the past 8 hours. It was day three and he was waiting to see if Ryujin's bubble was going to update. It was around midnight and he hadn't slept a wink since the kidnapping. He was hoping that Ryujin's bubble would go off again. Maybe, he'd get a clue from it somehow. The only picture sent was Rain's. The rest were replies from Ryujin's account, presumably by Rain himself. Specter sat in silence in living room, snapping his fingers. He would snap three times in quick succession then switch to snapping three times with a three second delay between. He would do this for another five minutes until he heard a door open. It was Lia's door that crept open. Knowing her, she was probably getting a midnight snack. He minded himself again, and continued snapping. 

Lia made her way down the stairs, rubbing her drowsy eyes. She keeps on hearing snapping from the living room. She probably figured that it was Specter. He hasn't moved from the sofa for three days. Only moving to check his phone notification, he did not even sleep these past couple of days. The first night she woke to his snapping. His eyes staring dead ahead with no emotion to him at all. Although it creeped her out, she was at least glad that he was protecting them. Although he didn't admit it, she could somehow feel it from him. This sensation of protection anytime she stepped into Specter view. Lia mid-way down the steps, stared at Specter. Snapping his fingers with his right hand with his left hand clutching his phone. 

"Don't you ever get tired?" Lia asked, yawing as she made the rest of her descent. "I do, it's just that I am in no mood to sleep." Specter said, not even turning his head to address Lia. Lia made it to the base of the stairs and took a left. She headed to refrigerator for some ice cream. As she past the kitchen island, she saw something. It was glazed donuts, her favorite snack. She wondered who had bought the glazed donuts. She then took a look at Specter. "It couldn't be him." She thought to herself as she grabbed a donut. Usually she'd seat herself at the island but she decided to sit on an armchair that was opposite to Specter. She made her self comfortable and looked at Specter. He was now leaned back into the sofa looking up. His legs were crossed and his arms folded. Lia has noticed a few things about Specter the past two nights. It didn't include the snapping because it wasn't as significant as what she learned afterwards. The first, is that he didn't have natural green eyes. The first night, she rushed past him to use the restroom after hearing the snapping. Although she darted past him, she could see that his eyes were not glowing green. Instead, they were a light brown. When she came back out, they were glowing green again. The second night she learned two things. The first is that Specter talks to himself but it was a little different. It was as if someone was talking to him as he would talk, be quiet, and respond. Which was kind of creepy in her book. The second, was that he would fidget with his silver watch with a look of contemplation. Although it didn't seem as significant, Specter just looked like whatever he was about to do, could have severe consequences. 

"Aren't you hungry? What something to eat?" Lia asked, her mouth full of donut. "I'm good, thanks" Specter replied bluntly. "I've been wondering, how do you even function?" Lia asked, finishing up her donut. "I just do." Specter again bluntly replied. "I order you to tell me what's on your mind." Lia commanded. Specter's upper half jolted for a split second but then fell back onto the sofa. "Why isn't it working? Did the contract lie?" Lia asked herself. "No, it's just that I have found a work around." Specter said as he positioned himself up right. He stared into Lia's eyes in which Lia almost wanted to shy away from. She held the eye contact, waiting to see what Specter was going to say. "If you really must know," Specter leaned back into the sofa but maintained eye contact. "I was wondering how I am going to fix this mess. I am also thinking of how much of a mess I am as your SHIELD. I have no doubts that Wraith was better." Specter said as switched legs. At the mention of Wraith, Lia had the opportunity she has been waiting for. "Whatever happened to him?" Lia asked eagerly. "Wondering where your crush went?" Lia was completely thrown off guard. How did Specter know that she had a crush on Wraith? Last she remembered, Wraith said that the only person he was close to, was Shun. "Don't worry, I can keep a secret." Specter said as he uncrossed his arms and stretched. "Where is he?" Lia asked again. "I don't know Ms. Choi. He could be six feet under or maybe a wondering soul in the possession of another." Lia scoffed at Specter. He wasn't going to tell her where Wraith was. She would use the "I order" command but it doesn't seem to work thanks to the "work around". "I'm going to bed." Lia said angrily as she got up and stormed towards the stairs. 

As she made it halfway, she heard Specter quickly get up on his feet. She turned around to see Specter standing there. Lia somehow knew under that mask of his, he was smiling ear to ear. The next thing Lia knows, she is covering her ears due to hearing glass shatter. It was so loud, she no doubt knew it woke up her sisters. She also closed her eyes in that moment so when she looked up, Specter was gone. She heard footsteps running down the stairs. "What happened?" Yeji asked. "I honestly have no clue." Lia replied.
