CH:43 ☠️

3rd Person's POV:

Jackson looked at both of them while thinking deeply. He tsked and chuckled, gaining both of their attention. "What?" Iseul asked. "No, it's just we traitors were also thinking about this when both of you were captured. I'm glad to know we think the same." Iseul smiled. "Then it's settled now. You give us Chankyu back and we will give you the backup." She extended her hand out and he shook it.

"Why are both of you behaving like enemies, then siblings, then grandpa and his granddaughter, and now business partners?" Hyunjin asked and both of them glanced at him. They showed no emotion and continued to chat with each other, completely ignoring this ferret. He huffed in annoyance, "sure, ignore me. I promise one day I will make you pay attention to me. Especially you, Lee Iseul." He mumbled while smirking.

"Minho Hyung?" Changbin asked cautiously. "Hmm?" He hummed signaling him to continue, without looking up from his papers. "Are you........ okay?" He asked and Minho glared at him. "You can just ignore me, no problem." He surrendered and put his hands up.

Chan sighed and shook his head. He then glanced at Felix who was innocently sitting in the corner of the cell room, while playing with his fingers. Yes, fingers. He shook his head and sighed again. Ever since Felix had revealed that he is a divergent, he has been locked up in the same room where Iseul was, and the other members of his teams are now sitting while guarding him, so as to avoid the Iseul-Hyunjin situation to happen again.

Suddenly they heard some rushed footsteps and in came a familiar boy, who tripped and fell face first, but then stood up again and ran towards the group. "JACKSON HYUNG IS BACK! JACKSON HYUNG IS BACK, SAFE AND SOUND!!" Bambam's statement shook the three in the room. Felix scoffed from the side and said mockingly, "Told you guys." Bambam looked to where he was and saw him still playing with his fingers with a pout rested on his lips and eyebrows furrowed out of concentration.

Chan shook his head and nodded at Minho and Changbin, who nodded back at him. "I will go and see him." He went out with Bambam, to where Jackson was. He entered the common meeting room and his eye immediately found him, who was sitting in the center, all smiley and comfy.

"Hey!" He went to him and looked him up and down, looking out for any possible injuries. "You, okay?" Jackson nodded enthusiastically. "I am perrrrrrrfectly fiiine." He effused playfully. "Why are you so energetic and happy?" Nayeon asked while judging him. "It's just because I have met the divergents and they have proposed a very promising and interesting deal with us."

"And that is?" Chan asked. "THE SAME DEAL WE WERE THINKING ABOUT TO PROPOSE TO THEM!" He excitedly cheered and they all heaved a sigh of relief. "Did you meet their leader?" Here comes the big question. Jackson's excitement slowly died down and he nodded at Lia's question. "And that is?" They all were now ears, waiting for him to drop the bomb. "Iseul."

"Are you freaking crazy?" He heard Minho's voice and looked at him. "No, not at all." He walked inside the room and glared at him. "Stop framing my sister into this. She is too pure to become their leader." He denied the fact but deep inside knew that she has qualities of leadership within her.

"I don't care what you think. But this is a fact." Jackson sassed. "So........ all this time........ she-" Chan sighed for the thousandth time that day. The past 24 hours have been so hectic that he didn't even get a blink of sleep. "Let me tell you guys everything." Jackson ushered them and told them about everything.

"That is good for us, I guess. I don't see any problem with it." Yeji shrugged. "Yes, we can contact him and give the exact location to the divergents, then they can go and do whatever they want to do with him." Yuna said and everyone nodded. "Sounds good to me as well. Chan?" Brian looked to his friend, who was deep in thought.
