Twenty-first
Athena & Hades
" Do we have enough gas?" Yoobin asks from the backseat next to T.O.P.
Jiyong nods, looking at Yoobin through the mirror. The tense silence resumed. Causing their racing hearts to beat in their ears. Their hands turning
icy, their forehead breaking out cold sweat and they can barely take a gulp of air.
" Athena, call Aphrodite, tell her we're almost there." GD spoke, his voice grim and edged with worry.
Yoobin nod and immediately pressed for Sohee. Drumming her fingers on her lap, she waited for the call to be answered. On the first ring, Sohee
answers.
" Sohee-ah, it's me. We're merely a 15 minutes drive away. Are you ready? " Yoobin asks with a hard voice.
Yoobin could feel Sohee's agitation on the other side of the phone.
" Y-yes. I packed my bag, and valuables. When will I know when to run? " Sohee asks biting her nails.
Yoobin closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
" Okay, here's the plan. " Yoobin says calmly, and slowly began to fill Sohee the details of the plan.
---
" This is stupid. This Sohee girl wouldn't run away. She's too timid. Why do we have to guard this house. " Grunted a large security officer in charge
of watching out for the house.
" Agreed. Can she even run? " Said another officer, causing the other to throw his head back and laugh.
" Ahjussiii!" Came an urgent whisper behind them.
Alarmed, both of them turned to find Sohee in her oversized shirt and shorts behind them, wearing her sneakers.
" Oh!! Miss Sohee .." They bowed, their faces burning.
Did she overheard them...?
" I saw some cars at the back of our house.... " Sohee informs them, her eyebrows knitted in worry.
The guards glanced at each other, anxious." Let's go check 'em out. " Says one of them, hand on his gun.
Sohee followed behind them cautiously. They approached the back door stealthily, ready to pull out their gun. One of them went first, scanning the
area. He looks back at his partner and nodded . Signalling that the coast was clear. One of them turned to Sohee, worried about her safety. They
turned around. But she wasn't there. Panic hit them in the chest.
" Y-Y-Yah. Where did she go?" One said in panic to the other.
The other was pale and could only manage to shrug, eyes wide.

Sohee watches as the stupid guards went after the "disturbance" She apparently heard. Calculating that they were a safe distance away, she unlocked
the gate they were guarding, and left them unlocked for Yoobin ad T.O.P. Quickly, she raced up the house and locked her door. Her heart pounding
at full speed. She leaned against the door, taking a few calming breaths. She peered down her window, which got a perfect view of the gate. Where
one of the guards is guarding it with a confused and scared expression. Sohee frowned, and squinted to take a better look.
" Why was there only one guard? " She whispered to herself.
A knock pounded on her door, causing her to yelp and clutch her chest.
" Y-Y-yes?" She stutters, eyeing the locked door warily.
" Miss Ahn, Is everything alright? Why did you disappear?" A stern voice of one of the guards asked.
Sohee blinks." Uh- yeah, I- thought you guys seemed fine, so I headed up to my room. " She answers.
There was a pause." Sure. I-I'll guard your door for the night. " He says.
! Sohee gasped in panic and grasped her hair in frustration.
" A-Aniya, I'll be fine. Really. " She assured him. There was another huge pause as he considers.
" Geurae, I'll head back down. Don't try anything funny." He warns gruffly and headed down.
Sohee sighed in relief and returned to the window. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated and the screen glowed.
" Yoboseyo?" Sohee muffled the conversation.
" Sohee, we're here, get ready, we'll take you away any time now. " Yoobin informs.
Sohee nods. " Okay, I'm ready. " She says with a gulp, fetching her bag, as she ends the call.
Eyes fixed on the view of the gate, Sohee waited for any movement. Just then, she could make out T.O.P's tall and broody figure and Yoobin's
proportionate one appear. She gripped her fingers tightly. Her heart pulsating through her ears. T.O.P and Yoobin crept up stealthily behind the two
guards, simultaneously, the both of them kicked the gate open, knocking the guards' head. The guards sprawled on the floor with a thud, Sohee
watches, unable to hear anything as her window was shut. With that, Yoobin and T.O.P barged right in, Yoobin with her hair up in a Cap, and T.O.P
with a face mask, displaying his intense eyes. The guards their backs to get up, but couldn't budge as both Yoobin and T.O.P held them
tight with their feet upon their chest, cutting their air supply short. One of the guards grabbed Yoobin's ankle and pulled her, causing her to land on
her . He got up to attack but Yoobin used her other leg to swing a kick flat on his face, sending him unconscious. The guard under T.O.P's feet
watched with startled eyes. Before he could do anything, T.O.P took out his gun and pointed directly at the middle of the guard's eyebrow.
" Go. " He orders Yoobin, eyes not leaving his captive.
Yoobin headed up to Sohee's room immediately, where Sohee was already down the stairs, eyes watery and her smile wide on her face.
" Sohee.. " Yoobin whispers and pulled her in for a quick hug.
Sohee let out a pained cry and hugged Yoobin back. Quickly, the both of them joined T.O.P at the gate, and ran towards the car. Leaving the other
guard unconscious as well. They ran, shoes making no sound as they raced towards the Audi, where Jiyong was waiting impatiently.
