3rd Person’s POV

[Sae Young Dormitories…February 16, 20XX]

The girls waited up for Anika to arrive, but it was already past dinner time and the girl still hadn’t returned back after school. Jeril looked around for her but couldn’t find her at all.

“Maybe she went for a sleepover to a friend’s house?”

“Did you forgot that we’re her only friends?”

“You have a point there.” Lei let out a sigh. “But where could she be? There’s nowhere left for her to go, and she would have informed us if she went shopping or something.”

“How about we ask her father? He’s our only contact with Anika.”

“But Choi Entertainment building is already close at this time.”

“We’ll go tomorrow, I’m sure it’s nothing serious anyway.”

“I seriously hope so.” Jeril mumbled under her breath.

The next day, they immediately went to Choi Entertainment. It was still early in the morning so they had to wait for him to arrive. As soon as he did, they ran towards her.

“Uncle, where’s Anika?” was the first thing they asked.

“You girls didn’t know anything?” he asked in an alarmingly.

“Can you tell us what’s going on?” Erika said in a commanding tone.

“Well, how about we go inside my office and talk?” the girls immediately dragged him inside the building and into the CEO’s office. “A-Alright, so it’s about her mother.”

“Her mother, who oppose her dream? As expected.”

“Yeah, she and my son came here to fetch Anika yesterday.”

“And she came with her? I thought she doesn’t want to go home?”

“Her mother forced her, she doesn’t have any decision in this. I wanted to help her but I couldn’t, I’m sorry.” then, he looked at them pleadingly. “Can you help me take her back?”

“Why can’t you do it? Don’t you have the power to go against your wife?”

“They’re the best lawyer in the Philippines, I can’t win an argument with her.”

“The problem of having a lawyer wife.” Erika joked, causing Lei to hit her subtle-ly.

“What can we do to help Anika out of this, sir?” Mr. Choi thought about any way to get Anika out of the sitation but he couldn’t, so he shook his head in disappointment.

“I’m sorry, but the only way to get Anika is to risk yourself.” the three girls exchanged looks before nodding their heads. “You’ll have to break her out by force.” the room stayed silent.

“When you said we’ll risk ourselves, you meant jail?”

“Yes. That’s the only way I could think of how to get her out.”

“We can do that.” Jeril answered. “But we’re going to need a plane.”

“My wife is the one using our private plane, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use it. Besides, that’s our only air vehicle, we’re not rich enough for more.” then, all eyes were on Erika.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Because you’re the richest one in our group.”

“And you want me to steal one of our private plane?”

“For Anika.” Lei said, grinning sheepishly at Erika, and the latter could only sigh in defeat before nodding her head in agreement. “Alright, let’s go back and create a plan.”

“A risky plan.” Erika commented before going out first with Lei following behind her, leaving Jeril with Anika’s father. She turned to face the man and gave him a bow.

“Thank you so much for the help, Mr. Choi.”

“I should be the one thanking you. For taking care of Anika.”

“We’re going to bring her back here, where she belongs. Don’t worry, sir.”

“Thank you, Jeril. I’m glad Anika has some friends like you, I hope you stay together.”

Is it bad to blush at times like this? No? Okay, then let Jeril be. She blushed and scrambled out of the the room, where Lei and Erika is waiting for her. They were both smirking.

“How was talking to your father-in-law?” Erika teased.

“Shut up and work your brain on the plan instead, leader nim.”

“Alright, subtlety is the key to this mission.” Jeril stated. “With that in mind, I’ll be the one getting Anika out. You two could attract attention even from a distance.”

“Thank you, Jeon.”

“That wasn’t a compliment, Kim.”

“But wouldn’t you cause attention when you fight?”

“I would go near her quietly then carry her back to the plane. If someone notices, I’ll knock them out to avoid any more attention. Are we clear?” Jeril asked, but Erika just chuckled.

“You know, you can just tell us you want to be Anika’s hero.”

“Like I said earlier, shut up and work your brain on the plan instead.” Lei had to scold Erika before she finally treat the mission seriously, she grabbed her phone and called someone.

Erika excused herself and talked through the phone. After the first call, she dialed another number and talked for another few minutes before going back to the table.

“Good news, we already have a pilot. Bad news, the plane will be ready in 2 days.”

“No, that’s fine. We can wait for awhile. But I actually had expected you to be our pilot.”

“No, not me. I know how to fly a plane, but I’m not registered yet.” somehow, Lei and Jeril had already expected that. “So, I called Yoongi oppa to be our pilot instead. He agreed.”

“Yoongi? By Yoongi, you mean Min Yoongi? As in, Bangtan’s Suga?”

“That’s right. Remember DOPE MV, where he’s a pilot? It’s actually true.”

“Are you telling me that a BTS member is going to drive us towards Anika? This must be a dream…” Erika and Jeril could only shook their head at Lei being a BTS fangirl.

“I’m sure Anika would also love that.”

“Yep, she surely will.” Jeril muttered with a chuckle.
