Previously on SEVENTEEN ...

       Back in Seoul....

                   All was quiet at the apartment that SEVENTEEN used as their headquarters and their home. It was a nice enough neighborhood, though it wasn't the best there was in the country. But it had done them all well for the past couple of years. They had made many memories here over the years, some bad, and some good but regardless they all brought them closer together as a family. But that was all about to change now. And none of them were going to like how this change was going to go down. 

               From the outside of the apartment building, if one paid enough attention, then they would see a figure in black scaling the walls of the building. They stopped on the 13th floor where their apartment was located. The figure was able to pop the lock on the window and opened it up enough that they were able to crawl in through the opening. The figure turned around and shut it back behind him. They walked straight through the living room and headed for the kitchen. They pulled something out of their pocket and placed it on the tiny kitchen table that was pushed up against the wall, and nestled it in the fruit bowl on the table. After that they just turned around and walked out of the room. Instead of going back out the way that they came, they did one better. They unlocked the front door and left, but not without leaving it unlocked and cracked open just a little bit. They were given directions to just leave the note, not touch anything and just walk out the front door. Their boss wanted to leave a message that they know where they live now, and it was their turn to make their next move. The figure in black walked down the back stairs and went out the side entrance into the alleyway next to the apartment, after that, they just up and vanished into the night, never to be seen again.

           It was a long drive back to Seoul from the party. All 13 of them were crammed into 3 tiny little cars. Though it probably would be better if some of their members weren't giants and they didn't bring so much stuff with them. But all in all Seungcheol thinks that they did a pretty good job of throwing everything back into a car and getting the Hell out of Dodge in less than 2 hours. He knew that it was a mess, but he was more worried about Wonwoo's mother sending someone after them trying to get information or do harm to them to really care at the time. He was just happy to have everyone accounted for and in cars on the way back to their little apartment in Seoul. It had been a very long and trying evening for the whole team, and he knew that he needed to get this taken care of now. This had to be, this was going to be over regardless of what Seungcheol has to do to make it that way. His family came first for him and he had to make sure that they were going to be okay. Once everything was packed in the cars and everyone piled in Seungcheol had gone around to each car and gave one last set of instructions before they headed out. Minghao and Mingyu were supposed to drive for as long as they could in one stretch. He didn't want to stop too many times in fear of being tracked or caught. So he had set Chan up in the front passenger seat with him and he would be conversing with everyone so that they could plan a group stop together. And if for some reason that they need to stop they were to tell the group chat and tell where they were going. They would all figure out some way to turn around and meet up. He didn't want them to get separated and he knew that he was acting a little bit neurotic but at this point he didn't really care, he just wanted everyone to be safe. Once that was gone he turned around, got in the driver's seat of the first car and headed off back to Seoul. This was going to be a very, very long ride home.
