(66) Save Her

Seventeen stood tied up in front of Namjoon, tension thick in the air.

“We need your mansion security password,” Namjoon demanded, his tone firm.

Scoups smirked defiantly. “Why?”

Namjoon crossed his arms. “Because we need to find Yuri.”

“Let us go first. We need to find her too,” Scoups countered.

Namjoon shook his head. “No, we won’t.”

“Then we can’t tell you the password,” Scoups said firmly.

Frustrated, Namjoon slammed his fist on the table. “For god’s sake, we need to make sure she’s safe!”

Seungkwan, Mingyu, and DK exchanged worried glances. “Hyung, I think we should tell them,” Seungkwan spoke up hesitantly. “At least Yuri will be safe.”

“No, we can’t,” Jun cut in firmly, his voice filled with tension.

The group fell into a heated argument, their voices clashing. Amid the chaos, a guard walked in, carrying a small pendrive.

Namjoon narrowed his eyes. “Heeseung, play it,” he ordered.

The room fell silent as they all waited for the video to reveal its contents.
The video played, and the image of Yuri sitting tied up in a chair flashed across the screen. Her clothes were soaked as Wooyoung dumped full buckets of ice water on her. Her torn clothes clung to her trembling form, and the scene sent shockwaves through both BTS and Seventeen members.

Wooyoung, gripping her hair harshly, slapped her multiple times, and Seventeen members could feel their blood boiling. BTS members, too, felt a deep sense of anger as they watched. Hoshi's eyes burned with fury as he saw Wooyoung touch Yuri inappropriately, ripping off her top and leaving her exposed in just a bra. The fire in his chest grew, and he wanted nothing more than to break free and tear Wooyoung apart.

But the torment didn’t stop there. The video showed Sehun, Kai, and Yeosang arriving with a lighter, which they cruelly brought close to Yuri's arm. Her agonizing screams echoed in the room as Seventeen could barely contain their emotions.

Scoups, now enraged beyond reason, glared at Namjoon. "Leave us..." he demanded through clenched teeth. "Kim Namjoon, before me and my members burn this entire world, free us now," his voice seethed with a dangerous intensity.

Eunwoo raised an eyebrow, confusion etched across his face. "But why did ATEEZ take her when they already attacked your base?"

Seungkwan, still reeling from the tension, took a deep breath before answering, his voice heavy with the weight of the past. "Yuri... she was sold to them by her adoptive parents." The room fell silent, all eyes on him as he continued. "When we launched our attack on ATEEZ, she was trying to escape. In the middle of the chaos, she saw Wonwoo hyung in danger and—" his voice faltered, but he pushed on, "—she took a bullet for him."

Their eyes widened in shock as Mingyu spoke, the revelation sinking in. "We brought her back to the mansion after that. She saved one of us... and now she's one of us. But ATEEZ has been after her ever since."

The room remained silent, the gravity of his words settling over them like a thick fog. Yuri’s past, her bravery, and the relentless pursuit by ATEEZ had tied her fate to Seventeen’s in ways that were deeper than anyone could have imagined.

Namjoon locked eyes with each of them, sensing the storm brewing in Seventeen. After a moment of silence, he turned to his members. “Go. Attack ATEEZ and EXO. Bring Yuri back.”
