It's midnight.
"Be safe."Taeyeon said behind him.
"I will."he pulled a black sweater over his white shirt. "Don't worry."he said then left the room. When he shut the door, Taeyeon instantly felt empty inside. It is in the middle of the night and she can't just go back to sleep knowing the danger Baekhyun is in.
She can't help but worry about him.
"Mongryong-a, hopefully Baekhyun will come back home safely."she said to the corgi, squatting down at his level to carress him. "Let's go to bed and wait for him to return."she said, leading the pups to the bed.
After a few minutes, Taeyeon was the only one awake. The pups snored quietly beside her while she stared at the ceiling, worrying about Baekhyun's safety.
What if he doesn't come back?
"I miss him already."
She found herself mumbling out her thoughts to no one.
She hugged the sleeping corgi closer, imagining him as Baekhyun, temporarily replacing Baekhyun's presence with his dog.

"Hey Tao, glad to see you. It's been a long time."Baekhyun said, shaking his friend's hand.
"It sure is. Ever since we all were separated because of the safehouses."Tao said. "Glad tos ee you again buddy. Let's catch up on things after the mission while eating breakfast."
"Sure."
"Don't forget about us."Luhan cut in as he pulled Baekhyun into a friendly hug. "It has been so long since we seen you guys. How about all ten of us go straight to that famous diner after this mission?"he suggested.
"I'm in."Xiumin said. "I believe that JD wants in too."he said, refering to the Thunder guardian playing rock, papers and scissors with Chanyeol at the side. "Kris?"he turned to the Sky guardian.
"Sure."he replied nonchalantly.
"Okay guys, listen up."Kim Heechul, the leader of the Movement cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Kris, Luhan, Sehun, Baekhyun and Tao in one team. Kyungsoo, Jongdae, Xiumin, Suho and Chanyeol in one team."he said as the ten guardians formed into their teams. "The first team, I want you all to sneak into the storage room while the second team stand guard outside to prevent anyone from coming in."
They all started to go to their positions. The second team went into the storage room without any troubles at all as the guards are not seen anywhere.
"Don't you think that it is weird that there aren't any guards at all?"Kyungsoo whispered.
"They are probably sleeping."Chanyeol just shrugged his shoulders.
"They are highly-trained soldiers. I doubt that they will slack off."Kyungsoo hissed. "We have to inform the others."
"But the three of them have already gone in-"Chanyeol was cut off when he heard the loud commotion inside the room. The both of them rushed in. A group of guards expected them to come so they were ambushed. Luckily the guardians were also prepared themselves.
"We have been found."Xiumin said, leaning his back against Jongdae's back. The five soon united in the middle of the storage room with their back facing each other to face the incoming soldiers. "I will fight off the ones in front of me. Let's try to fight off as much as we can."
On cue, Suho opened his backpack and bent all of the water out from his big bottle to shove the soldiers away from him. Xiumin used the remaining water to freeze the soldiers while they are being shoved to the walls. Quickly, Suho and Xiumin started to fight off the guards in front of Kyungsoo.
