"Do you perhaps know Lee Taeyong?", I asked as Seulgi nodded her head hesitantly. As soon as Jaehyun gave me the address I headed off to Seulgi's apartment. It wasn't that hard to find it after all.

"Why? Do you perhaps know him?" She asked as I nodded before taking a seat. From the corner of my eyes, I could see her being all panicked. I passed her a smile gesturing her to take a seat herself.

"Well, a friend of mine does. Jaehyun. You guys might know him from High school." She let out a small 'ah' as I fumbled with my fingers trying to come up with the next lie. She didn't seem to notice that which was a relief. 

"Do you have his address?"

"O-oh...I... Don't." She started stuttering as I tilted my head sideways. She's clearly lying.

"Oh, you don't? Well, I was hoping to negotiate some kind of deal with him." I smirked as her eyes went wide. Of course, I wouldn't come to her place before doing some kind of background research. After all, Taeyong has some kind of illegal deals and Seulgi knows. Well according to her neighbors the two meet up frequently and it's rumored that she's behind it as well. No one would suspect the Kang Seulgi to be having illegal business in the background when in fact she's quite successful for her age.

"Well I'll call him if you want me to"

"Don't" she looked at me skeptically. "I want to see him in person along with my men. As you can see they aren't here with me right now." I excused myself as she hummed before getting up.

"In that case, I'll give you the address." She said as I smirked immediately replacing it with a smile, looking down at the paper she was busy jotting down. After some minute or so she handed me the piece of paper with me getting up making her frown.

"Don't you want anything to drink?"

"That was very nice of you but I'll pass. I have somewhere to go."

"Oh...forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"Ten" I stated simply with her making an amused face. Oh, please don't pull out that divergent reference again. 

"Ten? You're named after a number?"

"Yea" I nodded heading towards the door as she followed me right behind.

"What's your real name?"

"Believe me you don't want to know." I smiled before heading to the car waving at her. I got in and head off towards Jaehyun's place. The ride was short and soon enough I was engulfed in a hug by Doyoung.

"Oh wow, you missed me that much?" I teased as he smacked my head making me whine. He held out his hand afterward as I passed the address.

"We have to find him as soon as possible," Yuta said as we nodded our eyes falling on Jaehyun who smiled as well.

"It was nice meeting you all. And Yuta hit me up when you're free." Jaehyun said as they bro hugged before parting away. We waved our hands before getting inside the car.

Taeyong's house wasn't that far away from Jaehyun's house. Even though it wasn't in the same neighborhood we could still find him. Or at least we hoped to.

After roaming here and there we finally reached in front of a dusty old gate. Parking the car nearby we got out. Doyoung was the first one to move towards the gate to check whether it was locked or not. Thankfully it wasn't.

The gate produced a creaky sound and Yuta cursed under his breath hearing the loud voice. It wasn't that strange to see Taeyong's house in the middle of nowhere considering the fact that he does shady business. Of course, a shady man like him would need to hide away from cops at times and this seemed like the perfect place.
