"Y-yuta...?" Were the first words we heard from a groggy Mark.

I watched as both Hyuck and Yuta rushed up to him, throwing their hands around his neck and waist.

"Careful, careful..." I told them, adjusting Mark's bed. "He just woke up!"

Instantly, Yuta pulled away while Hyuck reluctantly let his arms drop to his side.

"Thanks for the concern, guys..." Mark said in a croaky voice.

"What happened to you?" Yuta asked, getting straight to the point.

I checked his blood pressure while he recounted what had happened to him.

"I...It's hard to remember," Mark licked his lips, trying to recall the events that led to him being brutally beaten up. "I..I think I was jumped.."

"Do you know by who?"

Mark furrowed his brows and shook his head. "N-no I'm afraid not..."

Yuta sighed, while Hyuck glared into the distance.

"Wait!" Mark shot up. "I think I know who did it!"

"Who?" We all perked up instantly.

"It was..."

"Minhee!" I banged on the bathroom door. "Hurry your ass up! I'm gonna be late!"

"I'm not in the bathroom, idiot," he said quietly, as he emerged from his bedroom.

I groaned, knowing that Seulgi takes forever to take showers. "Hurry up Seulgi!"

"...Seulgi left for work though?" Minhee looked at me as if I were speaking another language, which I might as well have been.

Now it was my turn to be confused.

"Wha—?"

It dawned upon both of us at the same time that there could potentially be a burglar in our house. But who would break into a house in the middle of the day?

"M-minhee," I began. "What should we do?"

For once in our lives, my smart, sarcastic, older brother had nothing to say.

"Once we get into their supplies warehouse, Jungwoo will set off the detonator and Taeil and Jeno will hack into their security system so we can interfere their feed. Understood?" Taeyong was currently running through the plan to sabotage one of our rivals' - TXT - deals, for revenge.

I sat in the corner and observed everybody.

I joined the gang almost a year ago, when I got captured and forced to work with them.
I never got to see my family again, and I sure as hell didn't 'gain' any family members from them.

"Jisung, Chenle and Yangyang, can you distract Park Jimin? He's easily gullible, and he's working alone today," Taeyong beckoned the three youngest closer to him.
I watched as Chenle reluctantly took a step forward, slightly shielding himself behind Jisung.

They nodded.

"Stall him for at least five minutes. It will be even better if you can isolate him and then retreat when you hear the signal."

They nodded again.

Taeyong then turned to Johnny and Jaehyun, and smiled. "You guys have the fun bit. Try and capture one of their members - bonus points if you get Kai, the youngest." Taeyong glowered a malicious grin, one that he wore when he finished off my girlfriend, and glanced at the two.

Johnny nodded, while Jaehyun grinned. "Sure thing, boss."

"Is everyone clear on what they need to do?" Taeyong asked for the final time.

A chorus of 'yeah' flew around the room, and then all nineteen of us put all our hands in the middle and celebrated.

I shuffled myself closer, sighing with boredom, did the hand thing and then left as soon as I could.

I'd rather die than be here, but Jaehyun threatened to rat me out to Taeyong if I ever tried to escape or kill myself.
I absolutely despise Jaehyun; the way he always simps up to Taeyong, the way he always claims the kills as his. I bet he's never even held a gun in his life!

"Come on," Hendery held my shoulders gently, coaxing me away from everyone else. "Do you want me to buy you an ice-cream?"

I looked at him - we were both captured together - and took his offer.

I wanted to be anywhere but here, and if it meant being with someone who understood my pain - then so be it.

"Let's go before they notice," and we disappeared into the shadows.

i hope you enjoyed the
chapters so far!
