❝ han, the west route, there's something there. ❞
felix said and han ended the call following the directions sent him. a sudden attack happened in the government hall and they were asked on the field that night almost without preparations at how much damage the opposing group can do.

jisung met with seungmin and changbin with them on duty and they ran towards the back of the hall where explosives caught them off guard.
❝ jisung, we'll clear the path for you, deactivate those explosives. ❞
seungmin said and both he and changbin faught off the enemies with jisung trying to get to the giant iron box full of explosives.
jisung was able to get there and started to deactivate the box when chan called them.
❝ agents! return to skz headquarters! it was a trap! ❞
jisung gasped and quickly deactivated the box.

they opened the box and the explosives were rustic and weren't even working.
❝ a trap? ❞
changbin asked and the three of them looked at each other.
❝ sopa student O914OO. han jisung. ❞
someone called out and they turned their heads towards multiple opposing agents aiming a gun at them.

seungmin brought out his whip that got upgraded and changbin pulled out his hydro gun and mobilized his virtual shield.
❝ what do you want from me, lia? ❞
jisung asked the girl who led the opposing team.
❝ you know her? ❞
seungmin asked and jisung nodded.
❝ schoolmate at sopa. ❞

❝ experiment OO2. the highest need you. ❞

❝ THERE'S NO WAY I'M HELPING THEM! ❞
jisung screamed but lia just looked at him genuinely concerned.
❝ this is our fate jisung, you know something you shouldn't but they need. you're the only one left of the techno students, they spared you because they need something from you. it won't matter anyway, most of our team are already at skz ready to capture the other remaining old students. ❞
she said and jisung glared.

❝ we'll retreat this time just as long as you surrender. we already eliminated the rest of the agents with you here, it's just three of you left so if you don't want your two friends dying then i suggest— ❞

❝ no way! ❞
seungmin yelled but changbin pulled him back, motioning to jisung who had his head hung low.
❝ you're not seriously surrendering ji— ❞

❝ fine. just don't hurt them. ❞
he said almost unheard, lia just smiled apologetically.
❝ jisung what are you saying!? are you crazy!? ❞
jisung looked at seungmin shaking, his eyes like glass and the only thing he could feel was fear.
❝ i'm sorry seungmin, i know.... what they can do.... i don't.... want any of you guys.... to end up like him..... ❞
jisung said before secretly pressing something on his necklace.

❝ before i go with you, let my friends get back safe. ❞
jisung said and a couple of guys shot seungmin and changbin with electric shackles not letting them move and they both screamed and protested. the jet they took arrived and they threw seungmin and changbin inside, yelling at jisung below from the window as the jet lifted off.

jisung walked towards them and lia stopped him.
❝ none of us wanted this jisung, but we don't want anyone else to get hurt. so please, just be like us and follow along. ❞
she said but jisung just shrugged off her grasp.
❝ you guys are just cowards. ❞

❝ WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BOYFRIEND!? ❞
seungmin screamed, barging into every doors and rooms of skz's headquarters that was a complete mess.

❝ they got jeongin and yeji too, where's jisung? ❞
felix asked worried, with chan looking at the two concerned.
❝ they also... got him. ❞
chan sighed of stress.
❝ what do we do now? they got four of our best agents and most facilities in skz are injured. does jinyoung-nim know about this? ❞

❝ he knows, he's sending us to jyp's main building. a japan agency partnered with us and needs our assistance. ❞
seungmin's eyes widened after hearing that.
❝ th-then we'll meet them right? and we'll save the others? ❞

❝ yeah, they seem pretty excited about working with us. ❞

📟

❝ hey, let go of me, i'm not running away anyway. ❞
jisung huffed, lia looked at the others and they let jisung go and he walked on his own with a glare on his face.
they walked into a giant white and blue lit room with incubator looking things surrounding the walls. jisung gasped seeing hyunjin, jeongin and yeji already trapped in there like fishes in an aquarium.
❝ wh-why— ❞

❝ shhhh, they're alive and awake, the energy of the cage are just weakening their senses so they won't attack. ❞
lia told him.
the others dragged jisung to an empty cage and he didn't even bother, he just let them.
❝ wait, before he goes in, i want to speak to him. ❞
someone said behind and they turned around seeing a man, he was good looking, brown hair, dark eyes and he dressed casually. jisung couldn't help it but he kind of reminded him of someone but he can't make up who.

❝ where..... ❞
the man started as he walked towards him.

❝ where did you get that necklace? ❞
he asked, gritting his teeth and jisung gulped.

❝ s-someone gave it to me.... ❞
jisung said in a little voice.

❝ that's impossible. ❞
he said and tried to grab the necklace from jisung when electric sparked from it, injuring the man's hand.

❝ take that thing off! you're not supposed to have it! ❞
he demanded but jisung held onto the necklace, now glaring at him.

❝ no! i promised to hold onto it! ❞

❝ liar! the one who kept that is dead! i killed her myself! ❞
he said with a maniac look in his eyes, scaring jisung. he held onto the necklace tighter with both hands and looked at him directly in the eyes.

❝ i won't give it to you. ❞
he said and bit back a bitter taste lingering in his tongue, seeing why the man had looked familiar.

❝ your son gave it to me. ❞
