- EXO They Never Know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minseok smiled when he made up the deal to bring to the table that morning. Ava and their baby for a partnership with a company that was going to be a headache if he didn't pair up now. 

Yoseob and Hoseok sat in the meeting room quietly waiting when the door opened with a young lady walking in and then Minseok behind her. "Goodmorning," he said and both men stand up and exchange a shake of hands and sit back down. They wait for the girl to place the files down she held and then exit to begin their discussion. 

"Are we partnering up Kim?" asked Yoseob sternly. "Yes, but I have a deal to make," he said and looked from Hoseok to Yoseob, "I want Ava and we can become the greatest business partners ever," he says sitting back with a smirk. "Our..sister? How..do you know about her?" asked Hoseok alarmed and looking at Yoseob for assistance in interrogating this man. "Your..-" Yoseob was cut off when Minseok looked to him and nodded, "I'm the babies father gentleman. I'm sure she didn't tell you. I had no idea either, I had to find out through one of my men," he says and pushes a folder in between them both. "That has everything you will need to bring yourselves higher and possibly a percentage larger then my company, but if you don't do what I want then you'll always be 10 steps behind me," he says with confidence. "Ava is in a relationship," says Hoseok and Minseok scoffs, "The Baekhyun guy?!" and he pushes another file in between, "Byun Baekhyun model, 24, and homosexual," he says folding his arms, "If he gets in my way I won't hesitate to make him disappear," he says neutrally. 

 Yoseob bubbling with anger and Hoseok alarmed at what they where told stand up in unison, "Ava is a fuckin human you sick fuck! Aren't you married?!" Yoseob says in rage and Minseok stands up looking at him with eyes dark. "Process of divorce, but that baby she is holding is mine! Unless you want me to take her by force then leave just know you'll never see Ava or the baby again! If you want to see your nephew or niece and sister then sit back down!" he says and Hoseok walks to the door reaching for the knob but stops and turns around Yoseob having not moved. "Yoseob!" he says and Yoseob looks from Minseok to Hoseok. "How do you know it's even yours?!" Yoseob says clenching his jaw, "I don't have proof! But I know very well that it is mine though!" he says still staring at him. "No...your not getting our sister or her baby! Don't you touch her or get near her!" Yoseob shouts and he follows Hoseok out the room and out that good forsaken building not looking back.

When they both reach their car they sit in silence, "We have to move her Yoseob! He isn't screwing around with us!" Hoseok says worried as well as angry. "Why couldn't she just tell us who he was!? We wouldn't be here..neither would he," Yoseob says starting the car and Hoseok sighs, "because you would have done something stupid! But we are in this mess too now! We have to protect our sister, as well as our family!" he says and both men quickly leave to get Sehun and find Ava before Minseok does.

Minseok makes his way back to his office with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. If they weren't going to give him Ava and their unborn child then he'd have to take them like he did everything he wanted.

Ava was shelving a couple books when two men walked, Ava was about to welcome them when she felt a hand around her mouth as well as around her body. "Ava! Don't scream!" it was Xiumin whispering into her ear. He held her close and quietly made their way to the back where the emergency exit was located. 

"Is anyone around?" asked one of the guys and the other shrugs his shoulders, "Let's comeback," says the other unsure and they exit. 

When Xiumin carefully has Ava out the back she is trembling. "I'm sorry," he tells her and pulls her into his arms hugging her and she nods her head. "You where just keeping me from alerting them! Who where they though?!" she asks as they step back and he runs a hand through his hair, "Those are some of Minseok's henchman. I haven't seen them for such a long time but I know when they are out Minseok is usually looking for someone on the down-low," he tells her and then she places a hand on her stomach. "I want to go home!" she tells him and he nods, "I'll get our things and then take you home!" he tells her rushing back into the bookstore. She rubs her stomach as she tries and calming her breathing, she couldn't feel distress, it wasn't healthy for Bean.
