010. Uninvited trouble

[ authors note : story is halfway through finished so buckle up- 👀 this is also gonna be a long chapter]

"Suho, I'm still unsure of this—" You started in nervousness. Who wouldn't be nervous, walking straight into the enemies territory to "distract" them.

"Don't worry, Y/N. You really think I'd let you walk in there without any precautions? You matter a lot to us, and we wouldn't let a scratch harm you. Do you trust me?" Suho offered you a gentle hand squeeze, his smile warm yet something about those words and his radiating aura was awful comforting.

Timidly and yet with much caution, you gave a nod.

"Good girl." With a chaste kiss pressed atop your forehead, the leader then turned his attention to Chanyeol. "Alright then, you. Track down the address the exact co-ordinates and location the text sent and check for camera. Disable every digital item in vicinity, including tripwires and any explosives."

"On it!" Chanyeol replies sternly, his laptop on the table connected to multiple other wires and other complex technology.

"EXO-M get the gear and weapons locked and loaded, I need all—"

"Look at these beauties that just came in~! I've been waiting weeks for these." Kai suddenly chimed and entered the room with a huge box, slamming it down and eagerly opening the box— revealing a set of fine knives with deep red handles.

"What, kitchen knives? We've already got all we need, Kai. And we can always order more."
Chen's laugh rings through the basement and you just watch in complete confusion as to why your boyfriend— UHM, your classmate would bring something so simple.

"We can, but money can't buy you these. Allow Tao to demonstrate~ Step back, babe. Don't want you getting hurt." Jongin's teasing wink and him gently pushing you out of harm's way had your face heating up.

Zitao stepped forward with one of the unsheathed knives, flinging it forward with such speed and aim, it flies across the room. The knife not only cuts through a thick metal sheet, but also comes through the other side of it. Those metal sheets were used to gun shooting practice and not even bullets pierced through it, yet these blades.

"Holy shit." Luhan exclaims.

"That's right. These are the most effective knives to date, if used properly, even guns can't inflict the damage these would. And for darlin' Y/N, this boot knife and these pair of shoes."

"Shoes..?" You asked inquisitively while taking the knife and pair of boots he offered you, they seemed pretty simple.

"Yes, shoes. If jerked with enough pressure and in a specific direction, a blade would pop out. In case you do get captured or held back, a nice kick to the groin should do some damage~"

The idea of getting stabbed in the groin caused evident groans to sound out from the basement.

"Kris, you'll lead the first team. EXO-M is under yours and Xiumin's guidance. Except Luhan, you'll be held back." Kai went on explaining.

"Why am I held back?!" Luhan retorted loudly.

"For reasons. You're uncontrollable when it comes to fighting and—"

"And?! What, am I supposed to go soft and get beaten up? That's the whole point of fighting, Kai. Quit being so biased." Luhan grumbled lowly in frustration.

"I wasn't finished. You're easy to rile, these could be the same people spreading rumors about Sehun's death. And they could use that against you, we can't afford to lose another member." Kai's explanation earned a series of nods from the other members and a defeated sigh from Luhan who sat back.

Knock knock!

"Who is it at this time?"

"I'll go check!" You volunteered because the boy's were fairly busy in their planning so before even one could retort, you had rushed upstairs. Making your way through the living room and unlocking the door without even peeking through the eye-hole.

"Hello—"

"Y/N? Isn't this a pleasant surprise."
