Get your tissues ready...

Fifteen minutes until the drugs takes effect.

A quarter hour of doing small talk with a sex-trafficer and lord knows what else.
The longer I talk with Seo-Joon, the more scared I grow.
At least I had alcohol, otherwise I might have run away already.

There is something broken and inhuman in his eyes whenever I make the mistake of looking directly into them.
And he always stares back like I am the treasure he's been searching for all his life.

I check my phone.

The drug should work any second.
It's time.

"Baek Min-Sou, how about we go have a look inside the house?
I've heard the mayor has one of the fanciest houses in Seoul."

"Great idea, Lian, I've been curious myself."

I smile and nod at everyone we pass, see my parents distracted in a conversation with- you guessed it, Hoseok and then enter the air-conditioned mansion.

Timing really is everything, just like Namjoon told us.

"What do you think?"

I jump, Seo-Joon's voice too close to my ear, his breath hot and threatening on my skin.
I shudder but laugh it of.

"Think what?"

There is mischief and glee in his expression, just the kind I love so much in Taehyung.
But no matter what Tae did- no matter how dangerous or risky, he never had that thing in his eyes.

Wrong.
Seo-Joon is just wrong.

"Come on Lian. Are you not curious? Let's snoop around a little."

Hell yeah.

"I think we shouldn't."

"Oh don't be such a buzz kill. No one will say anything. And I'll make sure your father doesn't find out."

Perfect.
He is making it too easy for me.

"Are you sure? I mean... it's not nice to snoop."

"Come on. I'll show you how much fun it can be."

He drags me up the stairs, a hand around my wrist.
I detest the touch, but let him.

On the last step before reaching the second floor, he stumbles, nearly bringing me down with him.

"Woah, sorry. I don't know what happened."

He straightens himself while I gloat.

"No worries."

We take only three steps before he stumbles again, this time having to lean against the wall.
When I see his eyes, they are glazed over, like he is seeing things.

"Something- I think-" He slurs out, blinking and shaking his head to get rid of the dizziness.

"Are you all right? You don't look so good, Min-Sou."

"I'm- I, you-" he stops as he sinks to the floor, his head spaced out looking at nothing in front of him.
Finally I let that stupid, painful fake smile slip of my face, replacing it with a dark, glittering smirk.

Then Hoseok is there, right by my side.

I don't let him speak before I hug him, throwing my arms around him and squeezing tight.
I feel his chuckles against my skin, so bright and full of energy.

"I don't want to complain, princess, but we should really move this peace of shit out of the way before someone sees. "

I draw away and look back at the half-passed out Seo-Joon.
I kick him, hard enough to hopefully leave nasty blue spot.

"Lian!" Hoseok chides, but then smiles too.
"Always so violent!"

I hear the humour in his voice and smirk.

"You love it. Now, let's get him to an empty room."

I already bent down to help him pick up the drugged man when he stops me with a hand on my arm.

"I'll do it. You should get back down. Your father is looking for you, and when he doesn't find you, he might come upstairs. He seems... more worried than usual."

"But-"

"Go, Lian. I'll be fine. As soon as I find something, I'll let you know. Promise."

I don't like it.
I don't want to go back to the party.
And I certainly don't want to leave Hoseok alone with that pervert, even if he was only a drooling mess right now.

But the mission comes first today.

"Fine. But if you don't immediately call me when you find something, prepare to get your ass kicked."

He chuckles at my threat, then bends down to pick up a moaning Seo-Joon.
I turn only because I have to, making my way down the steps again.

Now I can only hope for the best.
