Shadows of desire : SVT✅

(37) Who.

The morning sun cast a warm glow over Namjoon's office as the meeting was suddenly interrupted by Sanha bursting in, breathless and visibly anxious. The room went silent, all eyes turning to him as he struggled to catch his breath.

“Hyung, they—they took her somewhere,” Sanha  gasped.

Namjoon, sensing the urgency, leaned forward. “What do you mean, Sanha?”

Sanha took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. “SVT—SVT is nowhere to be found. Our spies reported that none of them have been seen. One of our spies, who’s a guard at their mansion, confirmed that no one’s there. I tried hacking into the cameras on the main exit route, but there’s nothing. Maybe they took the back route, which has no cameras.”

Namjoon frowned, processing the information. The room was tense, the gravity of the situation sinking in. “So they’ve gone off the grid,” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.

Yoongi, who had been quietly observing, spoke up. “They must be trying to keep her away from us. But why take such a drastic step?”

Jimin nodded in agreement. “It doesn’t make sense unless they felt insecure about something. Maybe they are scared of something.”

Namjoon’s mind raced as he considered their next move. “We need to find out where they’ve gone and why. Sanha, keep trying to to access any feeds you can. We need every piece of  information.” Sanha nodded, already reaching for his laptop to continue his work. The tension in the room was palpable, each member keenly aware of the delicate balance they needed to maintain. As the meeting continued, Namjoon knew that finding Yuri was now more critical than ever.

On the other side of town, in a dimly lit room filled with a tense atmosphere, two leaders sat across from each other: Suho, the leader of EXO, and Hongjoong, the leader of ATEEZ. Their members, Xiumin, Chen, and Wooyoung, stood around them, ready for the meeting.

Suho leaned forward, his expression serious. "We need to make our move soon. Seventeen has been a thorn in our side for too long."

Hongjoong nodded in agreement, his eyes sharp with determination. "Agreed. Their recent activities indicates they're up to something. We can't afford to let them gain any more ground."

Xiumin crossed his arms, adding his thoughts. "They have resources, and they’re unpredictable. We need to be strategic about this."

Chen chimed in, his voice calm but firm. "What’s the plan? We can’t go in without knowing what are they doing"

Suho glanced at Hongjoong, then back at his team. "We need to hit them where it hurts the most. Their alliances and their assets. If we can disrupt their operations, we can draw them out."

Wooyoung leaned in, eager to contribute. "We’ve got the manpower. We just need to know where to strike first."

Hongjoong nodded, considering Wooyoung's point. "We'll start by isolating their allies. If we cut off their support, they'll have no choice but to face us directly."

Suho agreed, his mind already working on the logistics. "Let's gather our intel and plan our attack. We have the advantage if we play this right."

The room was filled with a mix of anticipation and resolve. As the meeting continued, it was clear that the alliance between EXO and ATEEZ was not to be taken lightly. They were ready to bring the fight to Seventeen and ensure their dominance in the game.
