Tsu walks into the room lethargically. Her usual let down hair is in a low ponytail with stray stands in front of her face.

With bags under eyes and her hazel eyes barely opening, it looks like she never went to bed.

Which is correct, since she has barely gotten a wink of sleep in the past week. 

She sits down in her usual seat. Her 2 guards still there, surveying the Joker, who is almost to the point of laughter seeing Dr. Yangs' appearance.

"Woke up on the wrong side of the bed Doc?" He asks with a comical grin. His eyes are lightened with a familiar emotion and his smile could be seen through his muzzle.

"You could say that, I was just so excited to see you." She says with fake enthusiasm.

Going back to her professional demeanor, she starts the voice recorder. "Visit Ten with Lee Taeyong."

To say Tsu has been working hard, is an understatement. She has had pulled several all-nighters in the past 8 days. Not to mention the constant nightmares do not help.

All to find a perfect method of getting into the NCT base.

Sadly she's found nothing that will help with all the obstacles she's come across. One of them is that the leader is in complete isolation. Underground. Another could be that she has no idea where their base is, especially after the Itzy attack.

And probably the most important one is the amount of members she'll have to fool to stay alive.

But she did come to a conclusion. She's going to semi-wing it. She has a way to kill them, multiple actually, but no way of getting into the base.

On the bright side, she has come across multiple break throughs as a psycharitrist, for the one and only Lee Taeyong. Like his natural instinct to lead. Or how attentive he is, he's always listening and watching, always. Also how much he gets on Tsu's nerves, but that's a given at this point.

But she isn't the only one plotting and making new discoveries.

"Are the charges set?" Jisung asks his partner. There isn't enough time to be wasting, it's show time.

"Of course they are." Chenle replies with a 'duh' tone. They were currently at a goverment black site, retriving someone very important.

They were setting up minor bombs around a certain area, making sure they were a specific amount of meters away from each other.

"Just making sure Jeju Island doesn't happen again-"

"How many times are you gonna bring that up? It was one time."  Chenle says looking at him sharply.

"Oh yeah? Wanna bet? Daegu, Ilsan, Nagano, even Canada!" Jisung says exhausted, he puts the wires in all the right places and then proceeds to start on the detonater.

"You have no proof, and Canada was a fluke." Chenle quickly says with lightly flushed cheeks, looking the opposite way.

"You blew up a bath house. The wrong bath house!" Jisung deadpanned loudly. He was almost done the detonater and was passing it along to Chenle to complete.

"No one told me-"

"Are you boys done yet? It's almost time." Taeil asks through their ear pieces, sounding annoyed.

Jisung and Chenle look at each other before nodding their heads simultaneously, "Yeah, its ready."

"Never mind my health, whats got you so... depress-y?" The Joker asks while glancing at Tsu with squinted eyes. He did not like how much she looked like death lately.

Her hair has grown out a little past her shoulders and so far has not been kept up with. Her blatant eye bags make her hazel eyes lose their familiarity. She honestly looks horrible and...tired.

"Haha very funny. Let's get back to business." Tsu says while rolling her eyes. She lazily picks up her pen and looks over her notes.

"What if I'm not joking?" He asks with a unknown seriousness in his voice. His eyes almost zoom in on her and do their job of making her feel small.

Tsu looks at him with a vulnerable face and a trembeling bottom lip. Flashbacks go through her mind, one after another, making it harder for her to breathe. She takes in a shaky breath and says, "Well thanks for your concern, but I'm fine."

As soon as she finishes that sentence a boom was heard from above them. Both Tsu and Taeyong look up at the same time, confusion running in their minds until one of the guards steps up and says,

"The Ace sent us."

Tsu's face goes pale in realization and Taeyong grins in satisfacton.
