No one moves...

The atmosphere is tense with the vile smell of anger and fear. Danger wrecks the place. No one dares to move a muscle, only their eyes shooting glances at each other.

Jaebum had a gun pointed to Jungho and he to Youngjae. Another man tackled Jinyoung to the floor with a knife at his throat.

Youngjae knelt on the floor, hands and feet tied behind him as he struggled with the cloth they tied around his mouth to keep him shut. All he could do was bite the cloth as tears streamed down his face, desperate to survive this mess. He looked at Jaebum who was helplessly torn between the choices he had to make.

How... did things turn out this way?

(Previous day)
Jungho tapped his feet at the corridor as one of his subordinates fumbled with the keys to his son's apartment. He was getting more impatient by the second and the other man's groans and slow movements were simply adding oil to the flame.

"MOVE IT WILL YOU?!-" Jungho snapped.

"GOT IT!!" The man exclaimed just in time.

"About time... ugh" the old man facepalmed.

He entered the apartment, scanning the area. Every furniture has started collecting dust long ago and the room looked gloomy and dead.

"Boss," Jungho turned a little and glanced to find his secretary standing there.

"Youngjae is awake."

As if in cue, his phone rang with a new notification. He checked it and replied immediately.

"Tell the rest to patrol the building. You stay here. He is here." Jungho smirked as if he had already won.

IJB POV
The six of us walked up to the apartment building quickly. Some people were out and about minding their own business. It was a good sign, that means Jungho will not create a scene anywhere nearby. He hated having to deal with the police.
We filed into the lift in silence and I took my place at the corner, resting one arm on the other and biting my nails nervously. My feet couldn't help but to tap on the ground furiously.

Yes... I know... 'come alone' right? But the boys were way to worried to have me drive and walk here alone-

"Hyung," I look up at bambam who called me.

He took my hand from my mouth and i felt him step on my feet.

"You're hurting yourself," he said gave me a  soft smile.

"Hyung! It's okay! You are the best show him what you've got and he'll fall to his knees! Hah! hah!" Jackson shouted and jumped a little, kicking the air and then punching into nothingness.

Seeing the dorky child helped me calm down and I nodded, laughing a little with everyone in the room.

"Jaebum," This time Jinyoung called me. "No matter who, what, when, where, why, how... Don't forget you have us. You have GOT7. We are a family and I promise we will never let you down." He said in a serious tone, causing the whole lift to fall into silence again, until finally our maknae let out a loud 'awww' sound and engulfed me in a hug.

"Our leader is touched!" he stated as a few chuckles were heard and suddenly everyone crowded around me.

I'll admit it now. Chic and sexy and all, but these people are the best gifts of my life. I am blessed to have them and I will not lose a single one of them. I don't want to.

Soon, a bell sounded, signalling our arrival at the designated level. Mark and Jackson were the first to get out of the lift, but suddenly everyone stopped moving. Two men blocked the way, eyeing me. They were both really tall, just a little taller than Yugyeom but much more buff.
