The sun stood high in the sky, golden rays shining bright on the city, even as clouds washed over it, blocking it view of the earth, its faint warmth still noticeable to everyone as they went on their day.

As he walked on a path Yoosung turned to look at different groups of people, some sitting at the laid-out benches, chatting, others simply relaxing on the grass.

It was a refreshing sight for him, sure he was used to and preferred the space of his home, but even he liked fresh air every now and then

Which is why he was outside now, after playing LOLOL for a couple of hours more, he swore the game had a spell on him, Jaehee suggested he go outside, maybe study a bit.

While Yoosung didn't like the fact everyone, MC included at times, nagged him to study, he knew he needed to, his grades had dropped a bit this year alone and by over 10% since Rika…

Taking a slow breath Yoosung continued on his way, he didn't know exactly where he wanted to go so he let the wind guide him, something Rika had always told him, 'If you can't find your way, a short journey can be made worth while with help from the wind and sun' were her exact words.

He felt the wind shift, now blowing to his right, his blue over shirt flying with it, patting down some strands of hair that blew out of their clip he turned to the wind.

It was a path leading somewhat further from his home but still on campus, it was more of a shop type place, he'd knew from going there every so often for certain types of food.

The walk would have been better if the security guards Jumin had sent weren't trailing him… Luckily, he was able to call Jumin and have him talk to them, now only three were following him instead of the regular five, and they were keeping a fair distance.

Continuing to walk he sighed, relief flowing through him. Although V had taken a while to set the date, he was still happy it was happening.

Looking back, he remembered the days when everything was better, when Zen's career was first taking off, Jumin was less stone faced, Seven was even more laid back and he didn't hate V. It all seemed so different now, after nearly two years things were finally getting back to normal for RFA.

Over the past few days, when he thought of MC, their newest member, he wondered what she was doing for the past two years while their group was slowly vanishing. He guessed it was a short resentment, wondering what took her so long to be with them so they could hold the party again.

His mind told him he should that way, she was helping them out of the kindness in her heart, he shouldn't resent her helping them.

Turning his thoughts to whatever else he could, he heard his phone ring, a quite voice of a song, Zen's voice… he remembers, Seven changed his ringtone for Zen a few month ago and, in the process, blocked him from changing it back…

Now he was stuck with another guys voice as his ringtone, he felt embarrassed whenever Zen called him in public now…

Pulling it from his pocket he answered is as quick as he could "Hi Zen!" He wondered what he called to talk about.

Zen cleared his throat "Hello Yoosung, sorry to call you right now but, I just wanted to talk to someone about this and, Jaehee is busy working, at least she's not so stressed today" he sighed.

"Not so stressed? What do you mean?" It seems playing LOLOL all day means he missed some things…

"You game addict…" A tired tone in his voice "If you've read the chatroom in the past hour, you'll know the trust fund jerk is out of country, Jaehee's mood seems much higher with him gone, I looked in the mirror today and saw my face was practically glowing! I guess even my body enjoys it when he's gone!" Yoosung glared at his phone from the corner of his eye.

"Alright… um… so what did you want to talk about again?" Yoosung hoped his attempt to change the subject worked, he found it tiring to hear Zen constantly praise himself, more tiring than 13+ hours of straight LOLOL! He's still upset he didn't win that competition…

Zen hummed in confusion but soon remembered "Right! Well first, did you get a strange email? Jaehee asked me to ask you because me and her both got one… something about mints I think?"

Yoosung slowed his pace as he thought, he hadn't checked his Bahoo in a few… months… So, it was probably full.

"So, you're saying 'no' for right now?"

"What?! I said that aloud?!" "Yeah… do you have a fever or something? Probably all that junk you eat, I swear you and Seven are going to end up in a clinic one of these days, why not try and eat better like me, until the party at least"

Zen cleared his throat "But yeah, check your email, see if it got to you as well, too bad your email is probably spammed with useless junk, remember when Seven made you sign up for all those online letters for skin care?" The blond heard Zen snickering.

"Hey! Not everyone can have perfect skin like you" Yoosung looked around the street and glared at a random sign.

Zen started laughing "So you finally admit it? That's good, jealousy doesn't help the body at all, oh, speaking of bodies! Seven and MC!"

Starting down the sidewalk again he glanced at his phone weirdly "What does Seven and MC have to do with bodies, besides having one"

Zen ignored Yoosung's question "What do you think of them? Doesn't it seem like Seven has feelings for MC?"

Remembering the past six days he did think that was true. Although Seven was always playful and weird in the chatroom, in person also, but he seemed much more… controlled? Calm? He couldn't think of a word to describe it but Seven seemed more of it!

"Like have you seen how they interact? MC follows along and understands all of Sevens weird jokes, they even have the same interest in pranking you" Yoosung pouted at that "For the first time, I'm happy for Seven, he's found a girl who makes him happy, and we're all acquainted with her brother it seems like! You through your schooling, me with lunch, Seven by… hacking most likely, Jaehee through Jumin and trust fund ran him over…"

The blond nodded to that, although he wasn't paying attention, looking around he found himself in the plaza, small library to his left, café to his right and he swore he saw a McArnolds a few minutes ago. Along with other shops scattered around.

"Yoosung?" Yelping, the boy in question jumped slightly, putting the phone back to his ear he put his remaining had on his chest taking a deep breath.

"Woah~ No need to be so jumpy buddy, just good-looking Zen here" Yoosung huffed, removing his hand from his chest as he made his way into a shop, the library… his class required him to read a book…

"I'm not jumpy, continue?"

Zen laughed for a second more before talking again "Alright, but what do you think of MC, I can tell Jaehee is calm around her, now that they have a common interest I think she trusts her more, but still on edge a bit too, I mean, Seven already confirmed that MC is safe, twice now, and V would have had him do something if she wasn't… but I can feel that she's a good person! I guess I'm just curious"

Stepping in the door of the library he looked around, it wasn't that busy, mainly people sitting about reading or working, he made his way through to a shelf.

"Well…" He remembered the times he'd chatted with her, the times he'd spent smiling at his phone while she joked or when he laid on his bed waiting for her to enter the chatroom "I guess…" he stopped himself "I know she's a good person too, someone who isn't wouldn't be able to joke around like she does so easily, my mom always told me I had like a… sixth sense for finding good people!"

"I think it's great she gets along good with Seven, besides her teaming up with Seven to prank me now… I don't like it but I don't hate it either…" Yoosung looked at the ground, embarrassed for some reason.

Zen chuckled "Ah Yoosung, you always did say you were an M"

"Again! What does that mean, why do people keep saying I'm an M?" He pouted at the shelf causing some girls at a nearby table to giggle, taking a random book from the shelf he quickly walked away.

"You'll learn when you get yourself a girlfriend Yoosung… or hell, maybe a boyfriend" Yoosung dropped the book on the table he was I front of, he felt like his face heat up.

"I am not!" Not even a second later he heard people shushing him, quietly apologising he sat down "I am not…!" He repeated quietly this time.

Zen continued to laugh through the phone "I'm just joking… Yoosung" he laughed for a while longer.

Pouting once more he looked at the book he took from the shelf '307 Ways To Prepare For A Party And Other Unexpected Events' He opened it to a random page.

"Oh, sorry Yoosung, the studio is calling me, gotta go, talk to you later" He hung up, leaving the line silent.

Putting his phone away he looked at the page 'Way 70 To Prepare For A Party: Find Guests'. Huh, this might be useful… considering he hasn't suggested many guests for the RFA party…

'Guests are an important of a part of a party, even if you're the only one at the table with your birthday cake in front of you because all of your friends forgot your birthday! And if that's not the situation, then good for you, you're not a loser!'

Yoosung reread the page a second time, confused as to why that was written, he continued reading out of interest.

'But the most important part of inviting guests to a party is the theme, say the party is Tiki theme, all of the Hawaiian Tiki men/women that were invited would feel betrayed if a Roman soldier arrived! You would also most likely have the death of a Roman soldier on your hands!'

'To find the correct guests, suggest random groups to your guest coordinator and see if they'll invite them'

Yoosung smiled, taking in the knowlage of the book, flipping the page he kept reading. His teacher said educational books can't be fun but, this was an exception!

'… And that's why you should never invite a phoenix to a party unless you have fire personal on hand!'

Sighing, Yoosung leaned back in the plastic chair he was at in. Having read the ten pages pertaining to Party Guests, he was nearly wiped. That being the most reading of a book he had done in a while, sadly.

Running a hand through his blond hair he looked around the library, it was more crowded than when he entered but he didn't mind, being in the crowded Ancient Plaza of LOLOL got him used to crowds in the long run.

Turning the page, he saw a picture of a red Muugatti car, Yoosung cursed Seven under his breath, the car fanatics stream of car pictures in the chatroom got him familiar with them. But he was happy Seven had an interest in something.

Thinking back on the pranks that Seven had pulled on him, he felt bad for MC with how many pranks he'd pull on her. But, with what he's seen of MCs personality, she would prank him back!

He smiled at the thought, Seven getting a taste of his own medicine!

Looking back down at the book he saw it was covered by a shadow, he guessed it to be one of the body guards as they did tend to check on him.

Before he could talk to the guard two hands went on his shoulders making him jump. As he barley stopped himself from shrieking a person appeared in his vision.

Turning to them he jumped again, surprised, luckily someone grabbed his chair, stopping him.

As his heart slowed down, he looked at them again. Blue eyes stared at him, a big grin on the owners' face.

"Hello Yoosung~" They backed away and did a small wave.

Blinking he looked at them again, it was… "Cali?" What was he doing here?

"Yup, oh, sorry if I scared you too bad, you look pale" Pulling back a seat he sat down at the table with Yoosung.

Touching his face, he looked around, mainly at the guards, he may not have had them with him for long but they looked extremely strong.

"Are you okay?" Yoosung snapped back and turned to MC, had he zoned out?

"Oh, uh… yeah, you didn't scare me!" He turned back to one of the guards, he was looking around the library like normal, all the guards no less than 50 feet away like they said. Turning back to MC he looked at him, confused "Um, Cali, how did you… get past the guards?"

No matter how strong his new friend looked, he had the feeling he couldn't win in a fight against three security guards.

As MC was about to answer he stopped himself to think, biting his lip he looked around, a moment later he gasped and turned to Yoosung.

"You have body guards?" He asked in a quiet yell, a hit of false surprise "Are you famous or something?" Yoosung shook his head and MC looked at the book in front of the blond and tilted his head.

"Whatcha reading?" Nudging his chair closer to Yoosung, MC looked at the book "307 Ways To Prepare For A Party And Other Unexpected Events, sounds like a good book"

Yoosung turned a page of the book, 'Unexpected Event 28: Surprise Visit From A Friend' The book was surprising accurate with situations.

Turning away from the book Yoosung looked to MC who was still staring at the page, reading. As he looked down, he noticed how close their chairs were, gripping the sides of his chair he felt his face heat up.

As he returned his attention to MC, he saw the male looking at his through the corner of his eye.

MC turned to him fully and saw how red Yoosung's face was at being caught staring at him, feeling something nudge his leg he also noticed how close he had moved to Yoosung, that his foot had kicked him slightly "Oh, sorry there" he apologised while nudging away.

Even though he could tell Yoosung was embarrassed, with his flushed cheeks, he was not, much to his surprise. Had the situation been different he knew he would have been just as red.

MC watched Yoosung close the book just as his phone beeped, he didn't hear the buzz so it wasn't a chatroom probably.

As Yoosung looked at his phone he could see the color slowly drain from his face as he read what he thought to be a text.

Yoosung quickly stood up and looked down at MC, who, while sitting, still reached to neck "Cali, I'm sorry but I have to go, my mom is coming to my house" MC nodded, still not fully understanding the panic Yoosung was in.

Yoosung sped off at a slow pace, still being in a library, after a final wave goodbye he left.

As he ran outside his phone rang, looking at the caller, Jumin, he answered.

"Hello Jumin, can't talk a lot right now, need to get home" Yoosung turned his head and saw the body guards had already caught up with him, wow.

"As expected…" he replied, "But I felt obligated to call so I will ask, how was your visit with MC?"

Yoosung completely stopped "'Visit with MC?' What do you mean, I didn't meet MC"

"You should have… she called me saying she saw you at the library but the body guards I assigned to you wouldn't let her pass so I authorized her" Jumin sounded slightly confused which was something Yoosung hadn't heard from Jumin often.

Yoosung turned back to the library, he had already been running for a good few minutes so he was far from it "I only met her brother there, you sure the guards didn't confuse Cali for MC?"

"Do you know her brothers full name?" he sounded sceptical now.

He tapped his show on the ground looking at clock on his phone, he didn't know when his mother would be at his house, he needed to clean! … But he didn't want to be rude and hang up…

"I think he said it was Mel-Cali… why do you ask?" He continued moving, but at a walking speed now.

Yoosung heard Jumin hum to himself, along with the tapping of wood "Mel… Cali… of course, so obvious yet hidden…" He cleared his throat "I must hang up now, I will need to contact Assistant Kang and tell her to cancel the meeting today so I may think… perhaps being with Elizabeth 3rd will help… I thank you for this Yoosung, goodbye"

As the line went quiet he felt bad for Jaehee, knowing he gave her more work in some way… putting his phone away he continued running back to the University to clean his dorm.

MC watched as the blonde ran out of the library, grabbing his phone he entered the messenger and began to write a text asking Seven why Yoosung would fear his mother. As he stared at the message he erased it, the boy would probably explain why in the chatroom later today.

Looking back at the book he flipped it to the beginning, it landed on a weird page 'Unexpected Event 07: How To Fend Off A Kidnapper'. Chuckling he closed the book and stood up, starting towards the buildings front door.

As he pushed open the door he looked back into the library, through the corner of his eye the table he sat with Yoosung at was still within sight. Smirking he walked outside "Not this time" he heard the door close behind him.

A new sense of confidence inside him, he made his way down the street, deciding to do some shopping, he was still wearing clothes from the bag Seven gave him, besides, he had been wanting to possibly put pictures of himself in the chatroom and it would probably cause embarrassment for both him and the red head if anyone recognized the clothes.

Going to a clothing store he passed by when going to the library his phone buzzed, looking at it there was a text from Jumin.

Jumin

Was your talk with Yoosung productive?

I hope it was, your phone call costed me valuable minutes of my time

The only thing that raises questions with me is

Yoosung said he did not see you, but your brother

I have my theories but I will keep them to myself until

I have more evidence to back them up

Tapping his lips, he put the phone away, it seemed Jumin was catching up. He was curious how that would play out, as calm as Jaehee was when she found out, he was hoping it would be a little more exciting.

After a while of choosing clothing, he stepped out of the store, a gray bag in hand. Inside the bag was a pair black pants, a black shirt and a sweater that he though looked great on him, it was brown.

Looking to the sky he saw it was getting dark, concerned, he started back to the apartment.

As MC walked away from the store the clerk inside watched him leave before pulling out a phone, as they put it to their ear someone immedietly picked up "Is he leaving?" the person on the other end asked with a quiet voice.

"Yes…" they responded "The Saviors Chosen is gone, but… if I may ask, why did the Savior choose him? There is nothing special about him"

The other person sighed in irritation "Do not question the Savior, she chose him to be the prince of paradise so we all will respect that and follow her requests"

The clerk nodded "My apologies"

"Oh, right, send one of the Believers from your area to follow him back to that apartment, the… Savior… said she wants no harm to come to him, from any source, but, he is being watched so note that" The call ended and the clerk sighed.

Walking away from the counter they stepped into a mint coloured door "I'm sure that last order came from the Savior… I cannot be the only one to think he is becoming too obsessed with the Saviors Chosen…"

As MC walked he was looking down at his phone, reading the bubbles of text on the screen, gray tinted bubbles were Zen while red were Seven.

They had been talking about Yoosung and Jumin, just like the blonde said, someone did call his mother, that someone had been none other than Jumin Han. At the time, his curiosity was high so he asked why Yoosung would fear his mom and luckily Zen quickly cleared up any misconceptions he had that the two had a bad relationship.

His fear was only there because his mother was a cleaning fanatic, which Seven pondered if he could hire her to be his second maid, and Yoosung's home was always messy.

Yoosung also talked in the chatroom about the matter a while ago as well, while he was shopping apparently so he wasn't able to participate.

The three were now on the topic of a strange email that had been sent to everyone, MC didn't know if he got one since he hadn't checked his email lately which was surprisingly unlike him. But he wouldn't be surprised if he did get one considering Jaehee and Zen got one and as V said a few days ago, people knew of the party the day after he privately announced when it would be held, one week from them.

As he started walking across the street, the apartment only a couple of minutes away now, Seven announced he found who sent the email, and after some praise from the new member, it turned out the hacker dubbed 'Unknown' sent it.

As MC spoke about his concern for the other members and their safety, Zen noticed Seven acting weird, or weirder than normal. He was talking more about his, MC's, safety more than even the other members. But luckily MC could call off Zen before he could practically interrogate the hacker.

Once Seven started talking about the hacker and what he might want he once again brought the topic back to his safety only this time, when questioned by Zen, he said that the hacker led him there and the same hacker sent the emails so the hacker would know where MC is staying.

The conversation started to end as he MC suggested that him and Seven go for a walk after the party for some fresh air as the red head admitted to never leaving his house.

Soon later Seven left to prepare things for when he would confront the hacker face to face, since he knew the IP address from the emails, that was possible. Shortly after that, Zen left to exercise, trying to take his mind off the situation most likely.

MC left the chatroom once he entered the apartment building, which wasn't that long after Zen had exited. After ignoring the woman at the front desk and making his way up to Rika's apartment he settled down in the love seat beside the couch.

Throwing the bag of clothes on the couch he turned his head to the kitchen before turning to the other end of the apartment, the side that contained the doors to the bedroom and bathroom. Churning his head around, he looked behind him, to the window more specifically.

Wincing he touched the side of his head, "Stupid memory…" It was always a cause for trouble… what he remembered…

Perking up, he turned back to the kitchen. He needed food! He remembered.

Deciding ramen would be good, he pulled one out from the cupboard he had stocked a while ago.

Hmm… ramen, thinking about the food made him hungrier. Setting the pot of uncooked ramen and water on the stove he marched back to the couch happily.

Lying his head down on the couch he began to scroll through his phone, he had several missed calls again, all from… his family.

Looking back on it… disappearing to help someone return a phone only to end up joining a charity organization and not calling or telling your family for six days, may not have been good thinking on his part…

Looking down at his phone again he hissed in discomfort, he didn't like being yelled at and he knew he would be yelled at a lot if he called now. But, deciding to just suck it up he pressed dial button, luckily, he could still use his phones built in call app and not completely rely on the messengers.

Hearing it ring he put it to his ear, it was answered almost immedietly "Hello there sister dear…" he spoke in English because it brought a sense of home to him.

"Oh and here's the yelling… yes, yes, I'm sorry…!" Hearing the yelling start he wondered how long he could live in the apartment without having to go back home.

"Ok… the situation is a bit hard… I'm helping friends!" MC began an attempt to slowly change the subject so he wouldn't be yelled at anymore.

He had a bad feeling he would be on the phone for a long time…

Seven sat on the edge of his chair, staring at one of his monitors, three programs opened on the one screen.

To his left was a screen that was blank, it did have the live footage from the apartment the newest RFA member was staying at but he had forced himself to close it after his supervisor, Vanderwood, noted how much and how often he was checking it.

Currently, while Vanderwood was away at the store getting cleaning supplies, he was looked at security camera footage from a few hours earlier, the time when he was chatting with the new member himself, and the resident actor. If he remembered… that was nearly seven hours ago, since then Zen and MC had both eaten and gone to sleep, he had checked both.

Back to the footage, he was analysing it because he couldn't after the chatroom back then, Zen had noticed him getting nervous but that was only because… he saw someone following MC.

Now, from the information he had seen on the males' records, he didn't see any restraining orders, against or from him so the person that was following him may have been a run of the mill stalker, in some circumstances, he wouldn't blame the person, MC was an attractive man…

Seven shook his head vigorously, his glasses falling down his face slightly, no brain, Social Mode deactivate, Social Mode deactivate!

… The person… they could be a stalker… or…

Someone sent to watch him.

Seven himself had been on missions where he had to watch a target for an allotted period of time, so he could spot when someone was doing the same and that person definetly matched what he did, leaning against walls, looking at a fake phone while secretly watching the target, ducking into alleys and stores if they looked behind them, etc.

But, there wasn't much he could do about the situation… if he called and told MC 'Hey, I was watching you walk home when I saw someone stalking you, make sure to watch out, night!' It wouldn't end well…

He figured the person was related to the hacker somehow, he didn't have any evidence but events were too close for them not to be.

He truly wished there was something more he could do to protect MC better then just watching damn surveillance…

Glancing behind himself he turned his chair to face the triple locked door that lead to his bedroom. Turning to desk his computer was at he picked up a large blue sheet of paper, the word 'Meowy' written in messy hand writing on the top on it.

With the paper in hand he spun back around and jumped out of his chair, both feet landing perfectly on the ground, he quietly thanked his training, running to, and quickly opening the door his amber eyes immedietly went to the large cardboard box of parts in a corner.

Glancing down at the paper in his hand he sighed, it was better than nothing…
