"What thing?" Yongguk asked, his eyes both curious and suspicious. 

L.joe walked to your side and circled an arm around your waist, making sure you were close to him if anything were to happen. 

You blushed since he did it in front of so many people. 

Daehyun looked at L.joe's arm around your waist and Taemin rolled his eyes. 

"We both have the same enemy, don't we?" 

"If you're talking about joining forces to fight Exo.." 

"Oh, you're smarter than I thought.." L.joe grinned. 

Yongguk let out a growl. "Don't mess with me, L.hoe. If you want to join forces then forget it, Exo is our and our prey alone. We'll take care of them ourselves." 

The rest of Bap seemed to agree as they didn't say anything and just slightly nodded. They wanted to fight and humiliate Exo themselves. 

"If you could take care of it alone then you wouldn't be laying on the ground as dogs in front of them, would you?" 

L.joe was really stepping over the line of whatever relationship these two had. And you couldn't help but tense up a little. 

"L.joe..." Taemin threw him an irritated look and then looked at you. If it would become a fight here, L.joe wouldn't be able to protect you and he didn't want you to get hurt but L.joe's cockiness was really testing Bap's patience. 

He ignored Taemin and looked at Yongguk with confident. "Do you think that the six of you could fight Exo when you can't even win against us." 

"You're really asking for it.." Yongguk said and took a few steps forward. 

It made you take a few steps back. But L.joe dragged you back, next to him. 

Then he heaved a sigh. "But what right do I have to make fun of you when even Teen top couldn't win against them.." 

Yongguk stopped and you blinked. 

"What did he say..?" Could the proud and confident L.joe really admit defeat? 

You bit your lip, because you also got remembered about the kidnap. 

Daehyun was glancing at you to see if you were ok since he also got reminded of that time. Your skin tone became paler and paler and Daehyun was almost scared that you would faint. 

Then L.joe spun you so that you were facing him and planted a kiss on your forehead. "It's ok, I'm here and I won't ever let that happen again." His eyes looked right into yours before he turned around to Yongguk again with you still in his arms. 

Daehyun couldn't help but feel hatred towards L.joe, how easily he calmed you down. 

"So what L.joe meant was that we both gain something out of it. With both groups together it'll be twelve members, just as much as Exo, and I can also offer my help." Taemin said. 

It was perfect, L.joe had really been smart to recruit Bap. 

"I.." 

Everyone turned to you. 

"C-can also offer some help since a few of you are hurt.." 

You hated Exo, hated them for what they had done and you were also scared of them but you wanted to help. For the first in your life did you want to participate in a fight of your own will. 

"No." 

His grip around you tightened as he looked at Yongguk. "It'll be us twelve and Taemin, what do you think?" 

It wasn't often you saw L.joe being dead serious as he was now. 

"L.joe... I'll be ok.." 

"What do you think?" 

He ignored you. How dare he. 

A smirk formed on Yongguk's lips. "Let's try shall we, just don't get in my way cornhead." 

"T
