"oh- well this is uh- unexpected." the tall grey haired butlers eyes widened at the sight of the two siblings, eyeing seungmin who hid behind freya. "teddy, ma and pa are home?" freya raised a brow at the older, earning a curt nod from him as he opened the door further.

"come on min. they miss you a lot." freya sighed at the sight of seungmin standing at the door with a look of guilt. with a deep breath, he took a step into the place many years ago he called home. it felt nostalgic to say the least, everything was still the same from the designs down to the scent.

the two walked further into the house and turned to the living room where surprisingly the three sat. lola was sitting at her desk clicking around on the pc that was settled there when she didn't want to be cooped up in her room, which was rarely. heyeon was watching a cooking show on the tv and aria was washing some kinds of vases.

freya cleared her throat, only gaining the attention of aria who gasped loudly at the sight of the two, then gaining the attention of heyeon and lola who saw more people in her peripheral vision.

"oh seungmin!" the woman cried, immediately standing and moving quickly to engulf her adopted son in a very warm hug.

and to that they both broke down, crying in each other's arms. freya watched with a sad smile before turning to her father who stood from the couch with an unreadable expression.

"let him talk papa. you said sometimes people make sacrifices for their own benefits... this is one of those times." she sighed, patting her fathers shoulder before going to say hi to lola who was playing minecraft.

"your boyfriend didn't tag along this time?" lola raised a brow, looking at her mother and seungmin who were still hugging each other. freyas cheeks unknowingly glew, a small scoff leaving her lips.

"mark isn't my boyfriend."
"i didn't say it was mark but go off." the younger said monotonously. freya sighed, glaring at the girl.

but lola ignored it, watching as aria smothered seungmin with questions as the boy choked on his own tears.

"is he.... i thought he was on the other side?" she asked after muting her mic so her friends wouldn't hear. freya looked back at the two and at her father who pat seungmins shoulder with a sigh.

"i don't think he was."

"oh you poor baby. you should've came to us way earlier then now, we could've gotten everything under control." arias forehead was creased as tears fell from her eyes. "i know but i thought you'd be disappointed." he held his head low, shaking it as his back rose and fell softly.

"the only person we're disappointed in here is minhyuk. i can't believe we raised such an ungrateful child like him." heyeon grumbled, drinking what was left of the hard liquor he had. everyone stayed quiet to that, the only sounds being heard were sniffs coming from the mother and son.

but something hit freya like a shovel, realization. "seungmin, you said not to trust certain people.... is there traitors in the groups i'm working with?" she raised a brow, watching as the boy lifted his head with guilty eyes.

"not in your group. but there are traitors." he sniffed, rubbing his eyes. "well who are the traitors?" lola spoke up, raising a brow at the older.

"that's the thing, we have no idea. no one in the treaties group knows.... only monsta x. all we know is that there's two groups, both have five people and are hidden to the mafia world." seungmin explained, leaning his head onto his mother's shoulder.

freya thought... long and hard. there was so much shit going on, it made it hard to retrace exactly what has gone on in the past month. school, mark, eunli, rooftop, seu- rooftop.

before she could say anything, the noise of a phone going off rounded throughout the living room. seungmin looked at them, pulling his phone out and turning on the screen to see a notification thag someone had texted him.

he didn't it though, frozen at what the notification had said on the lockscreen. freya grabbed the phone from him, the sight of the color leaving his face putting her off.

low and behold it was a message from minhyuk, telling him they were no longer safe.

the girl didn't make a sound, signaling for everyone to stay quiet. quickly she checked seungmins clothes, finally finding a small circle device. immediately, she dropped it on the ground and stomped on it, inevitably breaking the device.

she then dropped the phone as well, stomping on it until it was practically destroyed.

"noona! that's my phone what ar-"
"they could have trackers everywhere we don't need that. now you three, go upstairs and pack your bags. as for you seungmin.... help lola." freya instructed. she earned worried looks, but nonetheless they complied.

she pulled out her phone, sighing at the amount of missed calls and messages she had.

clicking a certain contact, she pulled her phone up to her ear.

"freya!! where the hell are you, we've been calling you for hours and renjun said you disappeared after jump-"
"i'm fine jin. i went to ma and pas with seungmin." she pulled a hand through her hair.

"seungmin? like bic seungmin? why the hell are you with him?" jin questioned obviously really confused. "long story. in short, i need the private plane ready in about an hour and a half. tell nct too. it looks like winter vacation is coming a bit earlier."
