Back at the exo's flat, Junmyeon was waiting for Yixing in the surgical suite to return, he couldn't help walk over to KH and to look at her. "I knew it." He told himself, She looked like a broken doll, so fragile and looked like she was about crack at any point. His cellphone went off, Minseok was calling him with the news. "Junmyeon..she was telling the truth. It's the start of a war. They tried killing us after we gave them what we promised" he sighed. "You should apologise to Jongdae and Jongin. Knowing them they'll probably let this eat them up inside." Minseok suggested with a sympathetic tone, he hung up and sighed turning his back away from her preparing to walk out.
He heard the small sound of one of the rings on her fingers hitting the steel bed, he turned around suprised to see her regaining consciousness.Worried she was going to start running at him, he quickly restrained her by cuffing her to the metal bed. He obviously was a bit scared of her, hearing the stories about her. Of course She gave him a suspicious look, watching her struggle to sit up, he then sat across from her then Observing as she tore off her oxygen mask, "Hi Suho." Was all she said, looking annoyed for the first time. He knew she knew that she had no backup, no safe escape, nobody left. "KH." He acknowledged her, "Did you save me so you can kill me a second time?" She joked. Junmyeon looked conflicted debating if she was really harmful, "No. If it wasn't for you, we would already be dead. Thank you" he apologised before doing a full bow. "You don't care that I used to be your rival?" She slowly muttered, obviously shocked and confused. "Of course I care, although these past few months I've known you, I know you won't hurt your brother..or your boyfriend or whatever you guys call eachother." Junmyeon snarled, he wasn't happy but could live with her being around without worrying she would betray them.
"After your recovery, I'd like to see your assets in action." He added stopping before the automatic sensor doors to the suite. "You'd make a good fit for exo if what Jongin has told me is correct." He left leaving her in a daze. "Junmyeon! Aren't you forgetting something??" She yelled, rustling the steel handcuffs around, he waved his hand to signal bye and she rolled her eyes, as she pulled a hairpin out of her messy bun. "The fuck did he even cuff me for if he was just going to leave??" She asked herself out loud, staring at the automatic doors he left whilst picking the lock within a few seconds.
"I need to find Jongin" She nodded, whilst scooting off the bed and walking to the doors in her surgical gown. Once she jumped off the bed she felt a sharp stab of pain in her lower region, recalling what had happened with taeyong in the alley she sighed. "Why do they always aim for the gut? Never the arms or shoulders" she complained as she kept walking.
Looking down she cringed, "They know I hate wearing green..." Eventually She noticed she was in the exo's flat that they called home, so she simply took the elevator upstairs, holding tightly onto the pole that had her IVS connected. The elevator doors opened and the person stood on the other side screamed once they saw her, he fell to the floor out of shock but quickly got back on his feet in no time. "Jongin." He hugged her tightly, making KH hit him as he was hurting her wound. "Sorry." He cupped her face, smiling widely as he didn't want to lose her. "I was just coming to see you, Who hurt you? Which one was it??" He held her shoulders in place. "Too many questions." He simply said making Jongin frown, "You could of died and I don't even get a goodbye kiss" he turned away about to walk out. KH pulled him backwards which caught him off guard, and wrapped her arms around his waist. "You also get jealous super easily. It was an old friend." She laughed lightly relasing the hug,"You're safe now" he hugged her again.
The elevator doors opened again and revealed 2 males arguing with a female. "How many times do I have to tell you Wonho! I'm not going to help you with poking into of the tops' business." She exclaimed, "But aren't you curious who the girl is?! Nobody knows who she is!" I.M asked. "No! Now help me move these scalpers downstairs" she yelled turning back to the elevator. She jumped when she saw Jongin stood there watching the scene unfold with his arms behind his back. "Oh Boss, good afternoon." Wonho greeted as they all stuffed inside the small boxed room. Jongin let out an awkward laugh, "Hi". "Why are you this far downstairs? Shouldn't you be upstairs with Suho?" She asked. "Or are you going to visit the patient Yuri was assigned to?" I.M asked. "Sure" he replied. After second glancing, Wonho noticed that someone was behind Jongin, he caught a quick glance and gasped loudly. "Yuri" he pointed to the pair of legs behind Jongin's and they both separated from eachother.
"Why are you out of the suite? Junmyeon will kill me if he found out you aren't there" Yuri immediately asked KH, "I was exploring" she replied coldly. The three strangers seemed to back off a little because they felt her dark aura emitting off her."Junmyeon told me to go get her." Jongin interrupted, leaving a silence hanging in the air."Is it true that you're from another mafia?" Wonho suddenly asked, "Did Chanyeol ever teach you to keep your mouth shut?" Jongin asked him, snapping his head aimed at him, rolling his eyes. Wonho immediately regretted talking, "How are you feeling?" I.M asked the girl. She didn't reply, Jongin seemed to notice she was much quieter now so he turned to her and spoke, "These are the two surgeons that Yixing wanted to look after you whilst he's away on a deal." Jongin revealed in an annoyed tone. "I noticed that you had some heart pills with you when you were found, do you need any restock?" I.M asked, starting to reach for the open boxes. "I'm fine." She quietly said as the elevator doors closed.
"Can you tell me more about your heart condition? I didn't find anything from your medical records" Yuri talked softly to her, the tone of her voice reminded her of Aysu. "Actually, I found no trace of your medical records, like anywhere. Did you bury them or something?" I.M clicked his fingers reminding himself, "cardiac syncope" KH replied, taking a deep breath in, trusting that it wouldn't be used against her. "Can you guys ask any other questions?" Jongin whined, "It was buried for a reason. Only a few people know about her heart problem, keep it that way" jongin sternly warned the 3 doctors. The elevator doors opened and Jongin confidently dragged KH with him, they were now on the main floor. "Sorry, I couldn't handle that much medical talk" he apologised before pressing the other elevator button. "Understandble. You know, Junmyeon wants to see my skills..you know to see if I'm fit for exo..." she trailed off, hobbling into the small square shaft. "So soon? He should give you time to recover, though I don't think you'd recover much in this dump." He snickered. "Isn't this dump worth like a billion won??" KH's eyes flared. "He'd scold you if he heard you dissing his building, that he designed!" KH joked.
"We could buy a place of our you know" he winked. "Are you that tired of Sehun as your roommate?" She joked further, playfully hitting his arm. "Yeah! He keeps stealing all my food from the fridge." "How sad Jongin." She rolled her eyes as they approached the ebony door to the main quarters. As soon as they set foot inside, KH noticed that many eyes were piercing through her body, Jongin coughed and called Jongdae's name. Heavy footsteps were heard practically sprinting towards them, and everyone else's eyes travelled back to their previous tasks. Jongdae was now infront of her, with an emotion that she couldn't read flaring in his eyes. He immediately didnt give her a chance to talk and instead engulfed her in a deep hug. Eventually letting her go, he spoke.
"We need to talk."
