Seoul Secrets | ATEEZ

Chapter 9

Cordelia POV

It's weird how Dakota suddenly appears when we most need her, with our other weapons... And then I end up seeing gun powder on her hands. What has she been doing? Is she helping that gang? God Aithne won't like it if she is, the girl will be murdered if that's the case. I recognized one or two of them guys though.. if they are who I think they are, they've dropped Dakota off at our house after she's been away. Isn't weird? How they out of all people are in the opposing gang? Does she know they are? I've got so many questions I'm planning on asking her. She needs to be careful. She's playing a dangerous game if she does know they are and if she is helping them.

I was happy when Aithne said for us to go. I can get out of this blood stained area. Whilst walking back I pull Dakota behind, far behind so the others can't hear. She looks at me confused. She's playing dumb huh?

"What's wring Lia?" She asks me. Well she's about to find out.

"I don't know. What is wrong? Answer this for me. What's that on your hands?" I question her. She looks at me confused at looks at her hands. No reaction. Just a blank look. I know she knows what it is.

"I don't know....?" She answers in a sort of questioning tone. She does know.

"I'll tell you what it is shall I?" She looks at me. "Gun powder. That's what it is" she doesn't react. What's going through her mind? What is she thinking?

"Why do you have gun powder on your hands?" She thinks for a bit before answering.

"It's from my gun. I accidentally got gun powder on my hands from my gun" hmm so she's saying that gun powder went everywhere whilst she was sorting out her gun. Does she think I'm really going to believe that? I'm not fucking stupid like she thinks I am.

"Good try but you aren't going to fool me." I say not even soaring a glance at her.

"What do you mean unnie?"

"It's ironic how you appear exactly when we need you, and you bring extra weapons like you knew this shoot out was going to happen" she doesn't respond so I carry on. "It's also funny how two of those men I recognize as two that normally drop you off at our house after you've went away." I see her tense slightly from the corner of my eye. I know I'm getting to her.

"Whatever your thinking, it's wrong. I don't know who they are, and most certainly can assure you that the two guys that drop me off aren't in a gang and are my friends" she spat. I know that's a lie. But I won't push it at the moment.

"If you say so, but I will warn you, if you are hiding something you better tell us sooner or later. Oh and also, if you are helping them, you need to watch your ass with Aithne around. You won't fool her, and you most certainly won't make it out alive if she finds that out." I warn the younger, earning a glare from her. I catch up to the others, leaving Dakota behind.

"What were you talking to Dakota about?" Tryne questions. Nosy bitch.

"Nothing, nothing important" I reply calmly.

"If you say so. Whatever you said, you got a glare from her. You don't want to be on that girls bad side" Hana pipes in.

"I know"

"Don't say I didn't warn you" she then says. Warn me? Bitch she won't do shit to me. I just hum in response.

Dakota POV

I let what Cordelia says sink. She is right, if Aithne does find out anything about me being involved with my brother's gang, she won't let me make it out alive. They'll also want an explanation which will also make me reveal about hongjoong being my brother which is the last thing I want them to find out. Lia is on to me and I need to be careful. I need to keep an eye on her. I can't risk her telling one of the others. I think Aithne noticed me "miss" all my shots... Well truth is I didn't. I wasn't aiming at any of the boys. I was aiming for what's behind them. The trees. I swear if she starts questioning me, I will be dead. She knows when your lying even if you don't move a muscle whilst saying it. It's weird. How she does it I don't know. I'm going to have to find a way to make sure that doesn't happen. I need to find a way to stop Cordelia saying anything. Luckily I know their weaknesses. They don't know that I know them, but I do.

Aithne POV

We get near the car and I pull Cordelia aside, wanting to talk to her alone. I wait for the others to get in before speaking to her.

"Did you notice?" I ask her.

"Notice what?"

"Dakota... She missed every shot she aimed. And it's weird how she arrives when we make need her, turning up with our other weapons." I can feel someone looking at me. I look behind me and see Dakota staring at us.

"I noticed that. It's weird. Was she doing it on purpose maybe?" She noticed it too? So it wasn't me seeing things then.

"What are you trying to say?" I ask. On purpose? Dakota?... Would she?

I mean it is Dakota. She is secretive, and tells you guys like nothing.

Just because she's secretive and that doesn't mean she would!

"Well, think about it. Two of those guys looked familiar. Like the two that drop her off at home when she comes back after being away. She missed everything and-" she got cut off by Hana.

"Hurry up you two. Whatever your talking about can wait until we get back." She says. Impatient bitch.  Can't she just wait a little longer?

"Can't you just wait a little longer?" I ask, clearly annoyed.

"No. Now get your asses in that car." For god's sake. Fine. I guess we'll have to talk about it later. I sigh.

"Fine" I turn to Cordelia. "We'll talk about this later" she just nods.

We get into the car and I drive away back to our house. What Cordelia said running around my mind. In a way she isn't wrong. Dakota could of done it on purpose. Is she related to them? Is she friends with them? Is she apart of their gang?
