Alone | NCT

Chapter 14

"Ryu Chanwoo is his name." Johnny said to the werewolf sitting across from him.

Jeno and Johnny sat in Johnny's office, discussing the details of Jeno's solo mission that Taeyong had received from Jinsol's letter and Johnny's conversation with her.

"This is the city your sister gave us." Johnny said, passing the map of a city to Jeno. "I'm afraid that's the only lead Jinsol has."

Jeno looked at the map in disbelief. The city was huge and he had to track down one male through all of that.

"So you're telling me my sister is going to get married to a werewolf hidden in a human city that she doesn't have contact with?" Jeno exclaimed in disbelief. Johnny nodded with a sigh.

"Chanwoo was an agent here before you came. When he graduated, he was very adamant on staying in the human world without having any contacts in the supernatural world." Johnny explained.

"And this wolf will be the next alpha?" Jeno asked. Johnny nodded.

"Trust me, when you meet him, you'll understand." Johnny said before looking up, thinking to himself.

"Get up." Johnny suddenly said, getting up from his seat.

"Where are we going?" Jeno asked his elder.

"You'll see when we get there." Johnny responded, heading out of his office.

...

"They're still talking." Rena pointed out to the rest of her friends as they sat in the dinning hall at the agency. It had been a while since Renjun, Jeno, and Haechan had left the group for their meeting with Taeyong.

"Must be something important." Jaemin said, putting a spoonful of rice into his mouth. Jiwoo sighed as she rested her head on her chin.

"They must have gotten their solo missions already. I'm so jealous." The faerie told the group. Suddenly, Rena's head snapped towards the entrance as Johnny and Jeno entered.

"What are they doing?" Jiwoo asked the two.

"Johnny's pointing to a picture on the wall." Rena told her. Jaemin squinted his eyes to see the name underneath the photo.

"Who's Ryu Chanwoo?" Jaemin asked. The two girls shrugged.

"Beats me." Rena said as they watched the two biys leave the dinning hall.

"I guess we'll just have to ask them later." Jiwoo said. The three of them returned their attention back to the meal they were enjoying.

...

Ouch. Jimin thought as she was knocked onto her back. Jisung let out a soft chuckle as he reached his hand out. Jimin glared at him as she took his hand, Jisung helping her to her feet.

Jisung had offered to train with the girl during his spare time, giving her tips while they exchanged punches. Currently the two found themselves on a mat in the training area, their peers already enjoying dinner in the agency's dinning hall while they spent their extra hours working on Jimin's technique.

"You stand too straight, throwing your balance off. Try bending your body down, like this." Jisung showed Jimin his fighting stance.

"That looks awkward." Jimin said as she analyzed his movements.

"But it works, try it." Jisung told her. Hesitantly, she copied his position. Jisung reached out an arm to push her, but this time, she was able to hold her ground.

"Oh, I guess you're right." Jimin said, giving Jisung a small smile.

"Of course I am! I wouldn't be teaching you techniques that would screw you over!" Jisung exclaimed, slightly offended. Jimin giggled at the boy's behaviour.

"I don't know, if you were evil you might." Jimin joked, earning a glare from the kitsune.

"Yah, Na Jimin!" Jisung said before tackling the girl to the ground, tickling her. Jimin repeatedly slapped Jisung on the arm, begging him to stop.

"I. Can't. Breathe!" Jimin shouted. She notice Jisung suddenly stop, quickly standing up to bow to someone behind her. She turned to lie on her stomach, facing Ten. She quickly stood up, bowing to her mentor as well.

Ten tried to hide his smile as he watched their reactions to their presence. He cleared his throat before talking to them.

"Jisung, you can go have dinner now. I'll take over from here." Ten said. Jisung hesitantly glanced over at Jimin who gave him a small nod.

"Go first, I'll meet you later." Jimin reassured him.

"Okay, I'll see you later." Jisung said before making his way to the locker room. Ten turned his attention back to the girl in front of him.

"Are you hungry?" Ten asked just as he heard Jimin's stomach growling. Jimin scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

"Let's go get some food then." Ten said with a smirk, guiding the girl out of the training area.

...

Haechan tapped his finger on the glass table as he sat, waiting for Taeil to enter his office. The sound echoed through the small room as he listened to the conversation occurring outside.

"This is very dangerous, are you sure about this?" Haechan heard Taeyong ask from outside the office.

"You know Haechan can hear us, right?" Taeil responded. Haechan chuckled at the siren's statement. He heard Taeyong let out a deep sigh.

"Anyways, I'm leaving him in your hands." Taeyong said.

"Don't worry about his training, I am the one who got his powers under control." Taeil told him.

"Whatever you say Taeil." Haechan sat straight as he heard the door open, Taeil walking in with a bright smile on his face. He took his seat at his desk, lacing his fingers on the table.

"Wipe that smirk off your face." Taeil said to Haechan. Haechan couldn't help but laugh as he stared at Taeil's face, watching him hold in his laughter.

"Okay, jokes aside, Taeyong had a point, your mission isn't going to be easy." Taeil said, pulling out a folder from his drawer. He plopped it onto his desk before opening it up. Haechan leaned forward to peek at the contents.

"First of all, it involves this person." Taeil said, passing a photo over to him. As Haechan took the picture in his hands, he felt his body stiffen.

"Dongwook." The name came out as barely a whisper from Haechan's mouth. Taeil nodded.

"General Han's officers reported a few vampires of the kingdom searching for Dongwook's location. Upon further investigation, it seems that sirens have been looking for him too." Taeil told him.

"What do they want him for?" Haechan asked. Taeil sighed as he gathered the papers.

"That's the thing, we don't really know." Taeil admitted. "That's where you come in."

"So what is my mission?" Haechan asked as he passed the photo back.

"You'll be going undercover. You'll need to gain your brother's trust, letting him take you under his wing. That way, you'll be able to find out what exactly is happening and why these creatures are looking for him." Taeil said, pushing the file on the side of the table. Haechan gave him a confused look.

"How am I supposed to do that when he's held in captivity?" Haechan asked Taeil.

"Good question." Taeil said, meeting Haechan's eyes. Haechan gulped as he realized how dangerous his mission really was.

"We're letting him out, aren't we?"
