IRREGULAR [NCT127xR.V.Seulgi]

31

Months passed peacefully and quietly, which was a good thing. But that's what you may think. To Johnny, everything seemed too quiet for the liking. After a raid, eleven Irregulars are missing, and no commotion about it. Isn't that all too strange?

Haechan sulked after arguing with Johnny. All he wanted was to go home to see his family, but Johnny had warned him how it was dangerous, and that all he could do was wait, especially seeing how oddly peaceful it was there. But Haechan being himself, he obviously wouldn't have listened.

Once the house was asleep, he quickly grabbed his backpack and snuck out, taking their boat instead of the helicopter since it would wake up the others. It took him only that night to reach, and he happily ran back to the building, knowing his mother was probably preparing breakfast.

"Mummy!" he called out as he stepped in, greeted by a quiet house. He walked on, and heard voices in the family living room, smiling as he went closer. "I'm back... Mum!"

Dropping his bag, Haechan stood frozen seeing his mother tied up to a chair surrounded by several men, and his siblings held aside. The men turned to him, when his mother suddenly started crying.

"Donghyuck..."

One of the men smirked hearing the name, and stepped closer. "Well well, who do we have here? The baby CEO of Lee Enterprise. And the only Yellow of the family."

Haechan caught the logo on his vest, and boiled with fury. "Let them go!" he yelled charging to them, but immediately fell to his knees in pain, a pain that made him wish he'd die quick so he wouldn't feel any. "Akh! Mummy!" he called in pain. His mother turned to the men, and saw them with a wave emitter.

"No my baby!" she cried watching Haechan twist and turn in pain on the floor tears flowing out. "Please let him go!" she yelled at them. One of them turned, smirking again.

"You decide lady." he told her. "It's either your son, or that Orange you're all hiding. We know, so you choose." he suddenly took out a phone in front of her. She eyed it, when Haechan called back.

"No! Mummy don't do it... Akh!" another groan as the waves felt stronger this time, now making his siblings cry out for their brother.

His mother had had enough. "I'll call him!" she yelled, trying to stop the men from releasing anymore waves. "I'll call! Please don't hurt him!" she took the phone and quickly dialled the first number that came to her, waiting for a while before it was answered. "Tae... Taeyong! Help..."

"Aunty it's Doyoung." the voice said from the other side.

"Doyoung please!"

°

"They what?" Taeyong shot up from his seat as Doyoung barely finished speaking.

"They took in Haechan, and his family." he repeated, stressing each syllable. "His family is out, but they'll keep Haechan unless..." he looked towards where Yuta and Taeil sat, unable to finish the sentence. The other two gave him looks of sadness, not wanting Taeyong to hear.

Taeyong looked at all of them, then back at Doyoung with orange eyes. "Unless what?" he asked in a rough voice. Doyoung flinched back afraid, and quickly replied.

"Unless you go..."

"I'll go."

"What?" Hansol shot up, shocked at how he answered under a second, as if without thinking. He he walked up to and held Taeyong's shoulder, squeezing it. "Taeyong no! Let us go and break him out, but don't surrender yourself." he said in a strict tone. But Taeyong only glared at him and pushed off his arm.

"They're torturing the kid and his family, who have done so much for us." he said, his voice slowly softening. "I need to go. I don't care what they do, I will go save him." he walked away heading upstairs, hearing footsteps of someone following behind. A hand grabbed his shoulder turning him around.

"Taeyong..." Yuta pursed his lips, "Seulgi's almost there. It can happen anytime, and you know it." he informed. Taeyong knew that after him, Yuta was the most concerned about Seulgi. He wasn't jealous, but happy.

He sighed and took off his hand, giving it a squeeze. "That's why I have you." he said. Yuta's eyes quivered as he tried to understand. "Listen, if anything happens to me, I want you to take care of her. And I don't think it ends here. They'll definitely come for Seulgi after this. Protect her. I'll do anything to come back, so until then, keep an eye on her for me."

When he finished, Yuta knew he could do nothing but sigh. Taeyong was persistent and everyone knew it. He stared at the floor, then looked back up nodding slightly. "Fine, but you should go tell her. I don't want her to be left in the unknown." he commanded. Taeyong nodded, and continued upstairs, leaving his best friend with a huge weight on his shoulder.

Taeyong looked into their room and smiled seeing Seulgi stand in front of the mirror, either measuring her belly or trying to show off her reflection. He snickered, causing her to look his way and pout. He walked in and hugged her first, then stared at her eyes. Feeling something off, Seulgi looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Seulgi... Listen, the AIS caught Haechan, and I need to go to rescue him." he said as his hands moved to grasp her's. Her expression became a worried one.

"But, what if they catch you too?" she asked grabbing his arms, but he could only sigh, motioning her to calm down.

"That's their plan. Don't worry, I'll try my best to escape." he tried to reassure her, but she only shivered. He sat her down, and side hugged her, petting her head. "Until then, stay here. Yuta and the other's are here for you."

Seulgi grasped her dress at her legs, unable to think of anything. She was scared definitely, but she knew he had to go save Haechan. They all meant everything to him, and to her now, so it was only right in every way for him to do so. She held onto his arms hugging him back, and inhaled his scent.

"Be safe." she spoke softly. "Please don't... don't leave me alone forever." she choked out, trying hard not to cry.

Taeyong moved out and grabbed her face giving her a smile, and shared a kiss. "I won't love." he said pulling out. "I'll come back one way or another." he got up, and squated before her, his face in level with her belly. He carassed it, before placing a small kiss where he felt the body to be. "Baby, don't trouble your mother. Take care, daddy will always love you." he kissed it once more, before kissing Seulgi again, then leaving the room.

Seulgi let out a small cry, but quickly wiped off her tears before slowly getting up and going out, in time to see Taeyong leave through the door, praying this wasn't the last time.

Mark noticed her at the stairs, and quickly ran to her side, helping her come down and sat her. "You're alright with him going?" he asked concerned. "What if..."

"Nothing Mark." she cut him off. "He should go. You're his only family left, and losing any one of you is terrible. I trust him, don't worry." she said holding his hand, giving her best to smile, and not show any hurt. But she knew they all had a right to be this worried.
