RUBY HEADQUARTERS
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

"She wasn't there?" Minhyun asked as he faced the Emeralds and the Sapphire Unit.

They just got back from China a few hours ago and now they're facing their consequence for failing to capture Shi Zhenya.

"They had a rough day, Minhyun," Yuriko said, standing beside him, together with Kenta. "They just lost Sungwoon."

"Sungwoon is dead?" Seongwu asked, widening his eyes.

"We're not sure of that yet!" Taehyun interjected. He's been crying all the way home.

Samuel put a hand on his shoulder, "Hyung, the blow -"

"There wasn't a body, okay?" Taehyun exclaimed. His emotions bursting out. He faced Minhyun again, "He's alive. I know he is. The Spades might be our enemies but they are not killers."

Kenta looked at Minhyun asking for permission to speak. The latter nodded, as Kenta faced the group, "Then let's say that they really did have Sungwoon. We need to capture one of them to get him back,"

"We almost had our hands on that Quanzhe guy," Gunhee mutters.

Minhyun pinch the bridge of his nose, trying to process everything before he can speak, Yuriko intercepts, "I think they deserve to take a rest. They've been through a lot."

"Fine," Minhyun agrees as he motioned his hand to the guards to lead the two units in a guest room.

"Where are you two going now?" Minhyun asked the couple who had their hands intertwined together.

Kenta smiled, "We're going to see an old friend."

DIAMONDS' RESTHOUSE

The car ride was quiet as Yuriko fell quickly asleep on the driver's seat. Kenta's hand was on the wheel as the other one was resting on her thighs.

If they weren't part of some gang, you would assume they were just a normal couple, out to enjoy a date.

They arrived at a rest house just a few meters away from the Diamonds headquarters.

Kenta looked at Yuriko who has already awake, hearing the car engine stop, "We're here."

They exited the car as they walked towards the house. Kenta opening it with his spare key. They spotted a few bottles of soju lying on the ground and a sleeping Seongri on the couch.

Yuriko heard some ruffling in the kitchen and walked towards it. She found Eunki putting some of the glasses back in the cabinet. "Noona? You guys are here? I'm so sorry for the mess,"

Yuriko nods, "What exactly happened here?"

Eunki handed a seat to Yuriko and Kenta, as he continued to clean the table, "Hyunmin and the others visited us, so we decided to have a little get together."

"Where's Kiwon?" Kenta asked.

"Kiwon hyung?" Eunki utters, not looking back at them. "He might be passed out in the backyard or something. They were very wild last night."

Kenta mouthed an 'aah' and faced Yuriko, "Shall we, then?"

Eunki knew what they were about to do and faced them, "I gave him some food to eat but I don't think he touched it."

"That's okay," Yuriko answered, following Kenta, "Thank you, Eunki."

The couple walked down the basement, flashing a light using their phones. It was really dark and they felt sad that their friend had to endure such a thing.

The basement was no ordinary basement as it contains a jail cell made especially for him. He was hidden inside this resthouse to avoid him from being taken by the enemy.

Only the couples' footsteps were heard as they walked closer towards the cell.

"Eunki," The man inside, grunted. "I told you, I'm not hungry,"

"We're not here to feed you," Kenta replied, as he leaned on the wall.

"Hyung? Is Yuri noona here too?"

Yuriko held one of the bars as she spots the boy inside, sitting on the ground, "We have news,"

"Let me hear it then."

"The Spades' cabin blew up," Kenta explained. "Sungwoon got captured and we weren't able to locate Zhenya's whereabouts."

"I'm sorry, Yongguk," Yuriko said, saying his name out loud. "I know you miss her,"

Yongguk stood up, walking close to the bars, "You'll find her, right?"

"We will," Kenta assured. "And I'll make sure the Diamonds don't get their hands on her."
