“Let’s change our plans, it’s dangerous.”

“So why are we going to change the plan? I know that the original is actually stupid since it is created at the spur of the moment. I doubt that’s your reason for it.”

“Yes there’s another reason other than that.”

“Why didn’t you tell us about this earlier? Let me guess you don’t want one of us to learn about your plan, right? Who might it be?”

“Sooyoung unnie.”

“Are you scared that she might sabotage us because of being lowkey obsessed with her boyfriend?”

“There’s another reason other than that, but I’m not sure if I can tell you.”

“We got four days until the said attack. If you want us to pursue your plan, then you should tell us earlier.”

Do I have a choice? Sooner or later I need to tell them. I should,, or Seulgi unnie’s life will be endangered. I’m here to help in my brother’s campaign. I need to make sure no one of his officers will get hurt. Besides, I'm part of the discipline committee. I need to do my job properly.

 “I guess you must have had second thoughts whether to trust me or not. You are free to destroy my face if I turn out to be a traitor.”

Yeah unnie is serious. She is betting her best asset which is her face. I’ll gamble on her.

“Yeah I’ll trust you.”

“Good choice. What was that?”

Of course I won’t tell her one hundred percent of the information.

“This might sound crazy.”

“I’ll believe you, if this means that we can help Seulgi with this information.”

“There’s an organization which is run by the elites here.”

“That sounds like a mafia found in dramas.”

“Unlike the mafias though, they are using the other elites as their workforce due to the fact that commoners can’t enter this island.”

“That sounds plausible. Wait, so Seungwan’s theory about her kidnappers being elites is true.”

“Yes she’s right, but I’m not sure of the identity of her kidnappers yet.”

“Do you intend to use this opportunity to know who her kidnappers are?”

“Yeah, if I’m able to.”

“So you want to change the plan in order for you to know who they are?”

“Not exactly.”

“Oh wait, I forgot, I must be experiencing memory loss due to old age. This is about Sooyoung right?”

“Well, I do think that she isn’t part of the organization, but her boyfriend probably is.”

“Oh . What about him?”

“Before that I want to tell you that there is a family system in this organization. His family is actually one of the top.”

“His cousin is Jinki oppa.”

Yeah there are a lot of elites involved in this. Maybe a close friend of yours is secretly elite. Yeah, that Minho guy who you were with is also a member of this. In fact all of his close friends are.

“Should we continue?”

“Yeah. I’m sorry I was taken aback by this. Anyway, what's next?”

“I guess that’s all the information I could tell.”

“Where did you get this by the way?”

Oh . No, what's my excuse?

“Well I knew someone involved in this.”

“Can I trust you?”

 Now you doubt me.

“Yes you absolutely can.”

“How should I know that you are not making us follow your plan so that the organization is able to attack the Kangs fully?”

This is a ty mess I’ve put myself.

“I mentioned earlier that this organization uses a family system right? If you think that I’m with the organization, so is my brother.”

This should do right? Unlike her, I can’t bet my face to prove my innocence.

“Fair point. Now who is your source?”

“A cousin of mine from Japan. Aeri Uchinaga, do you know her?”

“The name is familiar, wait the Uchinagas ran an investigative agency right?”

“Yes. As you can see my source is credible. You can talk to her if you want.”

“Okay, now both of our innocence is settled. What is your plan?”

“Actually, I don’t have a plan.”

“What is this ogre talking about?”

Do I look like an ogre?

“I’m sorry. I was just so shocked that you don’t have a plan. So another reason why you called me is because of the fact that you don’t have a plan.”

“Yes, and I need your help to do this. Actually, not only you. I need assistance from other people outside the five of us.”

“Let’s try to make a plan first before asking other people for help. I think they can be useful later on.”

“Okay. Let’s make a scenario. If you are Seulgi unnie, what would you do if you found out that someone is targeting you?”

“I guess I’ll flee. That’s the only logical choice I can think of.”

Wow, you are still pushing that suggestion of yours.

“Okay, then let’s do it.”

“Seungwan said that there is a possibility that the house will be mugged.”

“What if instead of going to the original plan which involves dividing the family between fleeing and staying, we will multiply the family?”

“Are you suggesting that we will use body doubles?”

“Yes I do.”

“And who will be the doubles? An average family here has over twenty people. Where are we gonna get those people to cooperate with our plans?”

“I believe we need someone professional perhaps? We don’t know what are the dangers that they will be facing in case they see a member of that organization.”

“So we are looking for about twenty people who are skilled in self defence? Are we gonna hire taekwondo athletes?”

“Maybe I don’t know.”

“Wait, that cousin of yours has an investigative agency right? What if we’re gonna hire men from them?”

“Wait, that's good. We can ask them to study each person’s characteristics and behaviour. They are all commoners though.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don’t have problems with them being on this island, as long as Seulgi is safe.”

“Okay now our problem is to transport them.”

“Yes they are not allowed here on this island, but what if the exchange happened outside of the island?”

“So her family will go to a place like Japan maybe and the ones who will return to Korea are the fake ones.”

“You got it. These exchanges must be in different places and different times so that it would not be suspicious.”

“Okay let’s go with this then, but who will convince them though?”

“Seulgi’s family or your cousin?”

“Seulgi’s family of course. I will be the one who will convince her. I’m sure she will agree to this.”

“Seungwan could. Are we going to tell her about this? Seulgi also needs to know about this.”

“I’m sure Seulgi would follow our plan if it means that her family will be safe. I’m not sure about Seungwan unnie though. I know she can be trusted. I can’t see any reason why the royal family will support this organization.”

“Why not? Wait, you still haven’t told me the purpose of the organization itself. Not only that, I believe that there is a lot of information you haven’t told me yet.”

“The right time will come when I’m going to tell you about all I know. If you want you can ask my cousin. The only problem is, you might be shocked with all these tons of information.”

“Okay I’ll just ask her after we finish this problem. Anyway, can you tell me their goals?”

“Fine. Let’s just say they want to cleanse the world. They are targeting elites who they think had done wrong. In order to have complete power over this, they desire to be in good relations with the royal family. Once a family member of them is married to the royal family, they will gain the power to do their will. Yeah that’s it. “

“Okay I got it. Why do you still doubt her though?”

“I don’t doubt her. The problem is, she is on good terms with Sooyoung unnie. She might question the fact why she isn’t included in the plan.”

“Okay, now I understand, I’ll just have to brief her without saying too many details. So this is the final plan right?”

“Yes. Just don’t let Sooyoung unnie now and everything we’ll be okay.”

“Yes I do hope we’ll be okay.”

The preparations for this are going well. Aeri agreed to their plan. Her father also agreed to lend their human resources.

Joohyun managed to convince Seungwan and Seulgi without bringing the topic regarding Sooyoung. They also managed to drag Hoseok along as he is chosen to monitor the cameras on the Kangs residence. At first Joohyun is reluctant to trust him,but Seungwan convinces her otherwise.

“Okay you’re in. I’m sure you can be trusted.” Joohyun said.

Unfortunately, Yeri wasn’t there when this negotiation was happening. Of course, she was shocked when she heard that Hoseok will be joining them. How do I get out of this? We avoided Sooyoung unnie, but we can’t avoid him, especially since Seungwan unnie personally recommended him. I guess this Is my fault for not telling Joohyun unnie the whole truth. Oh well, time to think of something.

Unfortunately, this is where the preparation is not doing well. She failed to see the unexpected. This isn’t in her calculations. She did try to think of solutions regarding the Hoseok problem. Unfortunately she is unable to since Hoseok plays a vital role in this. He is designated as the technician of the gadgets that the organization uses.

Honestly, Hayi unnie can also do that job. There are two problems regarding it though. The first one is that the others might bombard me with questions, especially Seungwan unnie. Another problem is that they will prohibit me from participating in this dangerous mission. I know that this is dangerous, but this is necessary. 

We need to help Seulgi unnie, but this puts our lives in danger. I still can’t stand not helping someone in that kind of situation. Something must change. All of us should make it out alive. Five or none.

The day came and it was even worse than what she expected. There are miscalculations in her plan, but so far this is the worst. Kim Junmyeon.

“No, you’re not going anywhere.”

“Why not? I want to hang out with Joohyun unnie and others. I always do that.”

“I know you aren’t just going to hang out with your friends. I know about your plan.”

. I need to think of something.

“What plan are you talking about? I’m just going to the mall with them.”

Playing innocent seems to be the best solution.

“Don’t play dumb. I know you’re going to prevent Seulgi’s house from being attacked.”

Please let me go.

“And where did you learn that?”

 “From a close friend.”

Let me guess, I’m going to be disappointed when he say who that close friend is.

“Chanyeol oppa?”

“Yes you’re correct.”

Park Sooyoung, another miscalculation. I can’t believe she is telling her brother about that.

“Why don’t you come with us instead?”

“Why should I? I’m just going to put myself in danger if I do that.”

“Chanyeol oppa knows about that plan. Chances are he’s gonna come with us. And also Joohyun unnie. In case a danger arises, you won’t be able to protect the two of them. You’ll lose them. Isn’t it better to die with them instead of being the only one who will live?”
