A door opened and a large man with guns walked in. Chanyeol and I held each other tighter while he unlocked the chain off of my ankle.

He grabbed us both by the arms, forcing us apart and lifted us up. He started to drag us down a long hallway with lots of doors. I tried to get free from his grasp but he was way too strong and moved too fast.

He stopped in front of a door and opened it. Inside the room I could see the members all huddled together. He threw Chanyeol inside.

“Chanyeol!” I heard someone yell. “Yoonji!”

The members started to hug Chanyeol and look at me, waiting for the man to throw me in as well.

I saw Tao walk close to the door and mouth, “Duizhang.” His eyes were watering, tears threatening to fall. I was about to run to him until the man pulled me back harshly.

“Not here,” he said and slammed the door shut.

“Yoonji!” I heard Chanyeol yell.

“Chanyeol!”

There was some rustling and someone started hitting the door. “Yoonji! Yoonji! God dammit!”

The man started to pull me farther down the hallway and I looked back, remembering the exact door.

He opened another door and threw me inside harshly before slamming the door shut.

The room was all concrete and about the size of a handicapped bathroom stall.

“Bastard...” I muttered.

“Hey,” a voice said causing me to jump.

I stood up, ready to fight but then I sighed when I realized it was just Kris.

“What are you doing here?” I asked him.

“They think I'm one of you. An undercover assassin hiding behind an idol's mask. So what if I'm good at fighting? I don't even know how to shoot a gun...” he scoffed and looked away. “I'm guessing this room is less capable of break-ins. Or break-outs in our case.”

I sat down beside him and ran a hand through my hair.

“I'm so stupid. So ing stupid,” I whispered.

Kris just stared at me.

“I shouldn't have let my guard down. I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. I should've listened to Boss. I shouldn't have taken this mission.” I punched the concrete wall multiple times in frustration.

Kris stopped me my grabbing my wrists.

“Stop it! You're hurting yourself.”

“I don't care. I can't feel it anyways.”

“But it's still there,” he said. I suddenly remembered the last time he said that. It seemed like years ago.

He ripped the sleeve off of his shirt, exposing his tattoo. He started to wrap it around my hand.

I just sat in silence, staring at the ground.

“What happened?” I whispered.

“What do you mean?”

“At the house.”

“Oh...” it was quiet for a moment before he leaned his back on the wall and tilted his head back.

“We were all just minding our own business. You know watching TV, eating, joking around. All of a sudden those men cornered everyone in the kitchen. I started throwing punches left and right hoping not to get shot and distract them so the others could at least try to escape. But there were too many of them. The next thing I knew everyone was on the ground and you were running down the stairs.”

My heart broke at the mental image of the boys running around the house frantically, fearing for their lives. I couldn't help but blame myself again.

“But Tao was able to knock a couple of them out. If only he had his wushu stick.”

Hours passed and nothing happened.

I couldn't control my imagination. It kept going to Chanyeol and the others. The whole point of this mission was to protect the idols because there were killers after them. We were in the hands of the killers so the odds of them still being alive were slim.

The thought of Chanyeol and the members being dead brought tears to my eyes. They fell silently one by one.

I felt my angry side win over my sad side and I stood up.

“God! Why am I so stupid?!” I kicked the wall.

Kris jumped at my outburst and stood up with me. He pinned me to the wall before I could punch it again.

“Calm down!”

“It's all my fault. If I hadn't....If I hadn't...” Tears fell again and I sobbed.

“Stop it,” Kris said through gritted teeth. “Stop crying. You should be stronger than this.”

“Boss was so right. Chanyeol, he's my weak spot. I shouldn't have....I should've kept my space. I should've-”

Kris cut me off my pressing his lips to mine.

I stood shocked. That definitely shut me up.

He pulled away, eyes piercing right into mine. I wasn't even in the right mental state of mind to even do anything about it. I just looked away, unable to hold his gaze.

“What's done is done and all we have to do is move forward so stop moping around and let's figure out how to get out of this place.” He moved away from me and ruffled his hair in frustration. “I just don't understand. What's the point of keeping us here?”

I couldn't understand it either. Why delay the deed? Why didn't they just kill them back at the house?

Unless they were planning to use all of the members against me so I could give them information.

I shook my head.

“What are you thinking?” Kris asked.

“I'm thinking about their plans.”

“Explain.”

“Well before I was thrown in here, they were torturing Chanyeol to get information out of me because they knew I would let them kill me if it was me being tortured. They knew that Chanyeol made me weak. I didn't tell them the truth but you should've saw him Kris.” My stomach churned at the mental image of Chanyeol in that chair. “It was horrible.”

“Wait til I get my hands on them. They won't be able to see the time of day,” Kris said through gritted teeth. “But you think the members are going to be used to get information too?”

I shrugged. “We'll just hold off a little longer. Boss will come for us. I know he will.”

“Your boss...” Kris said slowly. “How do you know he won't betray you? I mean Myungsoo did.”

“He was the one who raised me. Why would he-no. I'm not having doubts. Boss will come for us. I know it. Plus, he has no motive to betray me. By the way, don't do that again.”

“Do what?”

“Kiss me.”

Kris smirked.

“Seriously, I'm going to-”

He cut me off. “Kick my . I know. I heard you the first time.”

It was silent as the seconds went by.

“I'm going to think of a way to get us out of here alive. In the meantime, we'll be waiting for that door to open.” Kris nodded to the door.

We locked eyes and I understood.
