Of Hotdogs,Bagels and Basil

Basil - 17

There was silence and all of us in the dining room are looking at each other waiting for someone to talk. Victoria's cellphone rang and it was Jackie on the other line. She's giving instructions to Victoria and she was just nodding. After the call she motioned everyone to come and listen to her.

"Jackie just called, we're going to close the bistro for today. Minho and Jonghyun lock the front door outside then immediately go inside using our backdoor. Sehun and Kyungsoo be sure we have food later in case we'll be lock up here late.."

"Lock up!? What do you mean lock up Vic?! I have a date later!" I heard Wendy asked with wide eyes.

Victoria cleared her throat and looked at all of us. Luna holding my hands waiting for our friends' announcement. We've never seen her serious like this.

"I'm giving all of you a chance now to decide if you want to stay or go home and be safe inside your house. There might have an attack that will happen later and it's directed to us. Jackie said she knows her mother, anyone who becomes close to Amber is not safe. She thinks it was us who changed Amber's mind. Most especially Chef Krys. So it means we're caught in the middle now. And the bistro is the safest place right now."

"This is just a precautionary measure... We just don't want anything bad to happen again like before." Kyuhyun-ssi said that made me raised my eyebrows. Happen again? Does it have something to do with Bryan's accident before?

Victoria and Kyuhyun instructed the rest of the staff on what to do and we all wait. A tap was heard on the back door and Kyuhyun checked who it is. He came back to the dining area with 4 guys behind him all dressed in black combat uniforms like they're some kind of a SWAT team. I never thought loving Amber will result to this kind of 'war' between her and Mrs. Liu.

I acknowledge their presence and they all bowed to me. I looked at them incredulously because of what they did, Luna made a low hoot and Seulgi clicked her tongue.

Victoria introduced them to me "Krys, these are Donghae, Yesung, Kangin, and Sungmin. They are the ones who will take care outside.." I smiled at them awkwardly not knowing what to say. Wendy and Irene's eyes are feasting on them right now like it's the first time they saw good looking guys all together.

"But why are you guys in full combat gear?" Minho asked gawking at them with his googly eyes. Jonghyun smacked his head and said "Pabo, didn't you hear what Vic said a while ago? Aisssh! I don't know why we are friends..."

Kyuhyun ushered them at the side of the room with me and Victoria following them. We were standing in circles as Kyuhyun discuss the situation with Victoria also adding information. Listening to Vic right now tells me she's not just a simple Maître d. These guys listen to what she says with authority.

"Chef Krys, Van Gogh was already dropped off at the helipad. She will be escorted here by Shindong, Kibum, and Hangeng. We will leave Leeteuk guarding the back door of the bistro so no one can enter. Don't worry this will all pass by tomorrow morning." Donghae explained to me and what he said made a furrow in my brows.

"What do you mean 'tomorrow morning' And is this really necessary?" Victoria held my arms and sighed, and started to explain to me the things I have to know.

"Krys did Amber told you what happened to Bryan before?" I nodded. "Bryan's accident happened after Jackie told her family that she is marrying Bryan and is giving up her rights. Like what Amber did today. Bryan was not protected then because who would have thought that a freak accident will happen to him that day? Jackie told me then to look after Bryan before it happened but he was persistent and said that nothing bad will happen."
