[ third pov ]

haechan shifted uncomfortably in his seat. everyone was sitting at the large dinning table, across from the new people. who had already been seated with mark and johnny by the time they came for the urgent meeting.

he eyed the new boy in front of him; according to johnny, his name was kun. he seemed like the only collected one out of the bunch. but the only thoughts that ran through his head were why were these people here?

it didn't look like they were strangers to johnny either as they have been laughing and chatting for the past hour.

"and then winwin grabbed his nail and yanked it! oh my god it was hilarious." renjun continuously laughed as he told johnny about all the memorable stories he had.

no one else attempted to join in on the conversation and most of them just decided to keep to themselves until taeyong arrives.

mark felt uncomfortable with the gruesome details of the chinese boy's stories. it made his stomach turn at the fact that such a younger boy had done and witnessed all these things.

haechan wasn't quite fond of the stories either. it made him sick and it wasn't left unnoticed by mark. he turned to look at haechan as they made eye contact.

mark unknowingly smiled after realizing they both were thinking the same thing.

"ahem, can you lovebirds go somewhere else?" jisung coughed. he was seated in between them and the tension was too much. the two immediately broke their stare as mark nudged jisung's leg under the table.

"we're not lovebirds." he mumbled, but his red ears said something else. the younger chuckled at the response, he wouldn't mind if they were though.

just as their conversation ended, taeyong walked through the entrance. he stood in front of the table. the window behind him offered light that shone in the room as he opened his mouth to speak.

"it's so nice to see everyone. we're all here today because i have very important news to share. after a long time of thinking, i've decided to step down-"

before he could finish, a loud explosion broke through the walls.  smoke filled up the area as they quickly covered their noses to prevent inhaling the toxic gas.

"quick, take haechan! they're here." taeyong ordered mark as the rest to defended themselves. he scowled while pulling up a gun from under the table. he didn't expect them to attack so soon.

he hid behind the wall and waited for someone to come. a figure then started to form through the smoke. taeyong squinted as he tried to make out his appearance.

his face was mostly covered with a gas mask but his sleek grey hair wasn't unnoticed. the man grunted in annoyance as he pointed his gun towards the ceiling. he shot a few bullets before looking around the room.

"taeyong, i know you're here."
