Captive | NCT

Epilogue

Chenle and Jisung arrived at the supernatural hospital, not too far from the captivity building. There, many guards were being treated for their wounds from the day before.

"Whoever it was, they had no mercy." Jisung said as they walked by a guard with a huge gash in his leg.

"Yeah, it's bad." Chenle agreed glancing around.

They stopped at the nurses' station to let them know why they were here. Once the nurse saw the agency pins they were wearing, she immediately took them to a large room filled with guards being treated.

"Here's where you'll find most of them, the ones that are in a critical state. They will probably be your best bet at finding what you need." The nurse told them.

"Thank you." The two boys said at the same time, giving the nurse a bow. She gave them a small smile before walking away.

"Time to get this over with." Jisung mumbled as they looked around, starting with the first guard.

...

Yuri was packing her bags. Exams were over which means that she would be leaving, to never return back to the Academy.

Yuri picked up the picture frame containing a picture of her, Xiaojun, and Hendery, from their first day at the Academy.

What a shame.

A part of Yuri was jealous of her friends that had received acceptances from the Upper School which she was forced to go home. She wished her parents weren't so adamant on her returning to the clan.

There was a knock on the door and Xiaojun poked his head in. Yuri gave him a small smile.

"Need some help?" Xiaojun asked, motioning to the folded clothes on her bed, the empty bag beside it.

"That would be nice." Yuri said. Xiaojun nodded, entering her room and closing the door behind him.

"I can't believe that you're leaving. Who's going to deal with Hendery's weirdness with me?" Xiaojun asked as Yuri packed her belongings on the desk.

"You'll be fine. You have Lucas and Mark." Yuri said. Xiaojun stopped packing to turn towards her.

"You know they're just as weird, right?" Xiaojun said.

Yuri chuckled and the two continued to pack silently when the door opened. They turned their heads to see Yuta come in, a piece of paper in his hands.

"You better not hate me now." Yuta said, slamming the paper down on Yuri's now empty desk.

"No guarantees." Yuri replied, glaring at her older brother as she took the paper in her hands. Her face soon softened. "What is this?"

"I had to pull some strings and had a long chat with mom and dad, but it's real." Yuta said before turning his attention to Xiaojun. "Sorry."

Yuta left the room with his hands in his pockets, leaving a confused Xiaojun with the girl.

Xiaojun placed the shirt in the bag and went over to where Yuri was, looking over her shoulder.

"What does the paper say?" Xiaojun asked. Yuri turned around, showing the siren.

"It's an acceptance letter, Jun." Yuri said, a smile creeping up her face. "It's for the Upper School."

"Does that mean..." Xiaojun's voice trailed off as Yuri nodded.

"I'm not leaving."
