the meeting went on for about an hour and a half, the two gangs talking about things like positions and the rules and boundaries they were going to have to set if they wanted to team up."so we've decided before you got here that to end this meeting we wanted to do... we'll sort of a test." taeyong smiled, standing up from his chair and walking towards the very large window that showed an overview of the city.
the sky was progressively getting lighter, some of the light from the sunrise falling through the clear windows, creating a pretty glow that casted down into the room.
"mochi if you will." the leader tapped the window, all of them suddenly becoming frosted over and a screen being projected onto the window. on that screen was what looked like a picture of a training room.
man they weren't called neo culture technology for no reason, their tech was top notch.
"this is where we test each of our members skills. to do so we have them go against someone in their ranks." taeyong explained, looking at the two groups who seemed a bit confused. "basically, we want a test. to make it fair, your ace against ours." his lips quirked up in amusement.
the members of bts and txt all looked towards freya who huffed loudly, standing from the fairly comfortable office chair she'd been sitting in and pulling her hoodie over her head to reveal a plain black shirt.
"let's go then maple man." and to that the whole room erupted into laughter, leaving mark with an annoyed expression.
🧨
"you don't get weapons but still, try not to kill each other." johnny said with a smile before leaving the two in the middle of the dark green mat. mark made eye contact with freya, the girl giving him an emotionless gaze. why is this girl so apathetic? was the only question he could ask.
usually with his members he could sense their fear and hesitance to go against him, but with freya... there was nothing. he could tell this girl feared nothing.
"you gonna stare at my face all day or are you gonna fight?" the girl spoke after tying her hair into a high ponytail, some of her fringe coming down to frame her face. "i-" before mark could say anything, a simple punch was thrown. he dodged it of course, coming back up to meet the girls fierce eyes.
and with that the two began to fight. it started out as the two simply just trying to hit each other but as the minutes passed it evolved into them using skilled moves.
freya angled her right foot to kick mark in the stomach but the older grabbed it, thinking he had got the upper hand. unfortunately for him, the girl had other plans, lifting herself by the foot that was captured to forcibly push him back with it.
mark groaned, the pressure on his abdomen being enough to make him let go and stumble back a bit. the two stood a little ways apart, breathing heavily and looking at each other with intense gazes.
"i told you she was hot." haechan sang from his seat on the ground. "she's hot and skilled in fighting. i am going to marry this woman." shotaro smiled widely, earning a look from kai and beomgyu.
"i wouldn't get your hopes up with that one little man." jimin chuckled from behind him, shaking his head. the japanese boy pouted but didn't question any further.
back to the fight.
freya eyed the boy for a very small amount of time, calculating moves she could use that he wouldn't predict. he was good, better then she had thought he'd be. but everyone had a weak spot.
what was marks you might ask? she had no clue. but by the way he's studied the girl, she could tell he was expecting her to go full out. rookie mistake, showing what exactly you were thinking during a fight.
she watched as he took a step closer as the same time as him, carefully watching his movements before quickly letting her knee slam hard in between his legs. once the boys eyes widened in pain and he practically folded, freya took the chance to pull her elbow back, slamming it into his nose and watching as his head fell backwards.
reaching out, she grabbed his arm quickly and turned him around, pressing her right foot to the inside of his knee so that he fell simply to the ground, left with freyas converse pushing into his back. the boy groaned in pain, not moving even an inch.
the girl yawned, ruffling her hair. "where the fuck did you learn to fight like that!?" these were the first words uttered, renjun standing there with his jaw basically brushing the floor.
"taught by the best of the best." yeonjun said boastfully, crossing his arms. "we've gotta keep our game up like that or they'll beat our asses." he chuckled.
the olders words caused freyas eyes to widen, the girl immediately stiffening up. "it's the first thursday of the month." the rest of the members went quiet. it was then that they all woke up completely, small gasps of realization falling from their lips.
"shit shit shit shit." beomgyu muttered, standing up quickly with the other members. "what time is it hyung!?" soobin asked in a panicked way. namjoon fished his phone out of his pockets, eyes practically falling out of their sockets realizing the time.
"i-it's nearly 6:30." the man stuttered, looking up at the group with a worried face. "what the fuck!? namjoon we have to get to the base in like 15 minutes- oh my fucking god we didn't even fucking clean. taeyeons gonna fucking murder me." jin let out a string of curse words, snatching the keys out of his pockets.
they all stood there, half shocked with the amount of times jin had said fuck- and half scared of the things that were to happen if they didn't leave like right now.
the nct members watched this, all of their impressed expressions from mark and freyas fight changed into expressions of confusion.
they heard the conversation but had no idea what was happening. it was as if they weren't even there.
"um can you explain what's going on right now because i can hear what you're talking about but i've got no clue how to take it." jisung asked kai who was closest to him.
"it's inspection day. basically, our mother group comes once every first thursday and checks on our bases and then after that they check our skills to see how we've improved and what we lack." kai explained quickly, earning a slow nod from jisung, indicating he got it.
"wait but what do you mean by mother group?" he went back to his confused expression. "basically the group that raised us and taught us everything we need to know." kai shrugged, watching the older people of his group freak out.
"and who is that group?"
the conversation was cut off by jins ringtone sounding loudly. it was Russian roulette by red velvet, catching most of the members of nct off guard.
"it's them." he said quietly, looking up from the screen and meeting eyes with namjoon. "i'll answer it. you and yoongi go start the vans." the leader instructed quickly, snatching the phone out of the olders hands.
"freya, i want you yeonjun and soobin to drive to the txt base and clean up as much as you can. enough to where it won't get us in trouble." he instructed to the three eldest txt members before hesitantly picking up the phone.
"what's going on?" taeyong whispered to freya before she could walk out of the doors of the training room. "we have to get to our bases and clean and ready them for the mother group. if we don't we have extra training today." she explained quietly, looking at her leader who was nervously laughing on the phone.
"do you need any help?"
"it's not need-"
"dreamies, go with them to help. you too mark." taeyong snapped at the youngest members, looking at mark who had a pained facial expression, obviously not fully recovered from the match."yes sir." renjun sighed. no one was getting sleep tonight.
