It was quiet in his car as we drove. Not a car was in sight. I shifted in my seat and looked out the window. Seven had told me to sleep but I couldn't find myself to. My heart was pounding at the thought of what was about to happen. Hours had passed, we were most likely going to be there soon. However I didn't regret anything. I was happy to be beside him even if there was a chance I wouldn't be able to make it back home.

Without thinking I snatched his free hand up without looking at him. I felt Seven's eyes land on me. I only squeezed tighter in a response. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the corner of his lips turn up. Then he squeezed back.

It's gonna be alright. I'll protect you with everything I have.

Those were the words I feel him say even thought he didn't say them out loud.


Seven peered around the corner before darting out. We both stayed low and as quiet as we could as we made our way down the hall. When we finally came to a door Seven quickly got to work, leaving me to be look out. At the end of the hall I caught sight of a guard and my breath hitched.

" Seven hurry." I whispered. He grunted and his fingers moved quicker. A few moments later the door opened with a click. We both ushered inside and quickly shut it behind us, taking a moment to lean against it and slow our pounding hearts. Slowly I stepped further into the room, looking up at the computers in awe.

" Do you think this is where Unknown works?"

Seven looked over at the worn keys on the keyboard and nodded. " There's no doubt about it." Then he took out his equipment and began to work. " I'll try to be as fast as I can."

I nodded and pulled out my phone as I stood by the door. I needed to let the others know we were fine. At least for now.

" You don't have any idea as to why someone might be after her?" Jumin asked carefully. Eun thanked the waitress as she placed the coffee down in front of her. Although she didn't quite trust herself to pick it up. Her hands were still shaky from the nerves.
" No I don't. I can't think of anyone that would want to do this to her." She responded as she pulled her sleeves over her hands. Jump's eyes shifted down to them then back up to her.

" I'm sure that she will be okay. We just have to put trust in her and Seven." Zen assured. As soon as Jumin had found out the ties that she had with Hyuna he immediately had Jaehee call the others to meet up at a near by coffee shop. She had remembered Hyuna talking about them all however to see them in person was another thing.

" Zen's right. Seven would give up his life to keep her safe." Yoosung followed.

" And Hyuna would do the same for him." Jaehee spoke. Eun let a smirk slip at her comment.

" More than you realize." She mumbled. The group looked at her in confusion at her words.
" Oh don't tell me you guys didn't realize it." She sighed. When they didn't answer she gave a small shake of her head. " Hyuna loves Seven more than her heart can handle. She wouldn't ever let anything happen to him."

Jaehee adjusted her glasses. " And it's clear Seven reciprocates it back. They are both too stubborn to admit it to one another."

" Perhaps this is what they need then." Jumin interrupted as he sat back and adjusted his coat. " We need to focus on making sure the party goes well tomorrow. Eun, will you help us?"

Her eyes met his. She took a shaky breath before nodding. " Yes, I will."

He smirked softly. " Good. Then we need to get prepared for tomorrow. Until then we all need to get rest. Eun, will you come with me? I'm not sure how much Hyuna has told you about the party."

" Zen? Can I stay with you tonight?" Yoosung asked softly. Zen didn't hesitate to nod.
" I don't think I'd be able to handle staying by myself tonight."
Then all their phones rang. Quickly Eun glanced down at her messages.

[ We made it in and are safe for now.]

She clenched her phone and bit her lip. Part of her wanted to be happy. But the fact Hyuna had added 'for now' made her body go numb. She could only hope it would continue to go smoothly.

I worked as fast as I could. It would be just a little longer until everything would be transferred. But my stomach churned in warning. I knew something was going to go wrong but I just didn't expect what.

Hyuna stood behind me pacing back and forth. I could tell she was just as nervous as I was despite her calm demeanor. I had to get her out of here quickly before it was too late.

Then I heard the door click open.

" I knew you'd be in here."
I whirled around and spotted Saeran standing in the doorway. With a simple kick of his foot he shut the door behind him, trapping us all in the room. I stood hesitantly with my arms above my head. I felt as if I was dealing with a rabbit that would dart if I moved too quickly. One wrong word, one wrong motion and he'd be gone.

" Saeran we need to talk." I started carefully. He scoffed in annoyance.

" Stop treating me like an idiot. I'm tired of not doing anything and falling for your lies."

Hyuna took a step forward. " Saeran, please listen. Give Seven a chance to explain."

He scowled over at her, stopping her from taking another step.

" What is there to explain?"

" If you're talking about our childhood, it's all a misunderstanding. I left because V promise he and Rika would protect you."

" Hyuna, you've now him for a while haven't you. Then protect yourself and don't trust him." He growled. I took a deep breath. I truly had to be careful.

" I trusted V's promise. It was hard to leave you Searan, you have to believe me. I even asked Rika for photos of you to make sure you were okay. She gave me a floppy disk of them to me on my twentieth birthday." I continued as I cautiously pulled out the disk from my pocket. His face didn't faulted in the slightest. My eyes flashed down to his feet as he shifted them. He was getting ready to run.

Then the disk was ripped from my hands and shoved into the computer. I looked at Hyuna in shock as she looked up at the screen hopefully. One by one they all began to pop up. I dared to glance back at my brother, who stood with his mouth slightly ajar. The light of the screen reflected off his eyes as the photos continued to show up. Step by step he slowly made it closer to the computer almost as if he had been hypnotized. Then he pushed his lips into a thin line.

" It's a lie!" He cried.

" Saeran wait!" Hyuna cried as she tried to pounce on him. He easily slipped past her and shoved past me with a grunt, leaving my chest and shoulder to sting from the impact.
" Saeran!"

Then the door slammed shut. The click echoed loud in both of our ears. We didn't have a need to exchange words because we knew. We had been locked in with no way to escape.
