❝ it's difficult to sift the lies from the truths ❞

"Trust..." Khya let out a sarcastic puff of air as she brought her chair closer to Taeyong. She leaned her body towards him, gazing directly into his eyes, and still tried to read his expression. "And why should I do that? Why should I suddenly trust the same NIS agents that backstabbed my group members." Now she leaned backwards so her back paralleled with the chair's back.
"Jungwoo..." Taeyong paused again. "...is dead." Suddenly amidst that, there was a thud heard from the back. Hyunri turned around to see the girls back from their trip.
"Dead? Someone died?" Yongsun dropped one of the bags that had their take out food in shock. Khya who had no idea about this information was taken aback as well. She then realized why it was difficult to find Jungwoo. It's like his existence was wiped out from all databases.
"So...wait a minute. Wait just a minute." Jiyoung tried to piece out the information she just learned to what happened in the past.
"What the heck actually happened back then?" Taesun piped in. There was a collective realization that everyone knew their side of the story, but they didn't know the opposite side's part of this play.
"I think there's a much bigger part to this scheme we're all missing." Mark chimed in with an innocent smile on his face. Really, he was hoping they would untie him from the prison of tight ropes.
"No shit sherlock." Hyunri looked at him with a obvious look of her face.
"Let's wait until everyone gains their consciousness." Both Khya and Taeyong replied simultaneously as though their brainwaves reached a level of agreement. That caused a sudden look from the two at each other.
"Works for me." Chaejin's only desire was the scent of the black bean noodles and other delicacies they bought on their way. The smell was nearly filling everyone's noses.
"Me too." Taesun eagerly picked up the bag Yongsun dropped and began unveiling the foods. "Better to eat them before they become cold."

Approximately 20 minuteslater...
As the girls were finishing their meal, the scent was wafting through the unconscious NIS agents' noses. It was probably why most of them woke up within the span of 10 minutes. Now all eight of them were tied, as all nine had no choice but to watch them eat. The girls had just sat there enjoying themselves as they slightly taunted the agents. It was highly amusing to them.
