ATEEZ social experiment

Part 51

                        What You Wanted

      The nine of us stare blankly into the box. Fully expecting something , anything to happen but nothing did. Gently I set the lid onto the table next to the box.

      "What is this?" Confusion fills me as I lift the top papers from the box and squint at the small typing.

      "It looks like some sort of contract," Seonghwa piers over my shoulder looking closer at the documents. He slides it from my hands and sits back into the couch.

      "There's blueprints," Hongjoong pulls out the folded parchment from the box. Careful not to tear it, he opens it and lays it on the table.

      Wooyoung grabs the box and slides it in front of himself. He rummages through the following papers his brows scrunching more and more every second Jongho and Yeosang at his side.

      Quickly Seonghwa stands and a short hard breath escapes him. Holding the papers inches from his face his hands begin to tremor.

      "This is bullsh*t." He tosses the papers onto the table and begins to storm out.

      "What did it say?" San swiftly goes to him as I pick up the stack he tossed down and quickly skim through it.

      "All of those people," Seonghwa turns his voice harsh and points towards Wooyoung and the box, "All of them... they want us to kill them."

       "There's at least 20 in here," Wooyoung snaps, "What the hell?" he shoves the box back into the center.

      "We could be free," I softly say scared to speak up.

        "What?" Yunho raises his brow at me. The others stop their bickering and turn towards me.

      "If we do what they say, if we kill them, we can finally be free," the air goes still in the room the word 'free' lingering in our ears.

       "Who are they?" Jongho breaks the long pained silence. Wooyoung pulls the box back to himself and pulls out a specific folder.

      "Jung-Dae Industry. A large tech firm that has strong ties to North Korea." Wooyoung sighs tossing out the folder with CEO Jung himself plastered all over it.

       "That doesn't make sense," Joong adds.

       "Just read it," Woo snaps.

       "Okay so what if he is shady and connected to NK but what about everyone else there we can't just go in and shoot everyone!" San throws his arms up.

       "Here," Woo shoves the box toward him, "Go a head read them all then try to tell me how innocent they are."

       "How do we know any of this is even true?" Yunho makes us all pause and question it all.

       "No. It's true trust me," Jongho says with his head low. "Isn't it?" he turns to Wooyoung.

      "Yes it is."

       "How have they not gotten caught?" Yunho grunts looking up from the folders.

      "Money can buy anything these days. This is what they made us for." Hongjoong speaks the hard truth.

"They are still people we can't just kill them!" Mingi fights back.

"Jiho, Taeil, Kyung, they worked for them. We may be connected to a corrupt underground company but at least ours is anti-terrorism. Every single employee there knows that innocent people die because of them. They deserve this." Jongho forces the room into silence Wooyoung standing tall at his side.
