"SHE'S WHAT?!" Saeyoung shouted once he heard the news from Zen.

"You got your ass beat by a girl?"

"Not now minnnnn." Zen complained. After your disappearance, everyone got together and met up at the C&R building, even Celest was there.

"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY EVERYONE ELSE ISN'T FREAKING OUT?!" Saeyoung was scared out of his mind not knowing where you were and if you were alive for that matter.

"Come on Saeyoung, I've already tried to track her phone and the license plate Yoosung told me. So far I've got nothing but-"

"I don't want to hear a single word from you!" Saeyoung shouted. Celest was shocked by his attitude and was quick to respond.

"I don't hear you giving any good ideas! I've been trying everything I can to track her down! Security footage, hacking her phone to get the numbers and contacts and if you would just let me-"

"You've done enough." He spat.

"Saeyoung, please let her talk. If anything she would know Y/n best and she might-"

"Y/n traded her own life for hers!" He signaled towards the redhead.

"Y/n fucking knew what she was getting into because she knew that I would find her!"

"HOW?!"

"I FUCKING PUT A TRACKER IN HER FUCKING EARRING!" Celest was panting from the intense argument and couldn't help but kick a nearby chair from her built up anger.

"Couldn't you have said that from the beginning Celest?" Asked min as she went to pick up the chair.

"Maybe, if this one would have let me finished a fucking sentence."

"Can we dial it down with the bad language? There's a child present." Jumin signaled towards Yoosung who looked as stunned as the Pikachu meme at the fact that Jumin of all people would make a comment like that.

"I'm not a child!"

"Can we get back to the point?" Asked Jaehee with a sigh seeing that they were getting nowhere. "Where's Y/n now?" Celest took a deep breath to calm herself and took out her computer from her bag.

"She's right there." She pointed to the red dot on the map on her screen, everyone gathered around to look, she narrows in on a suburban area just on the outskirts of town not too far off from where you all were now.

"She's about 30 minutes from here."

"Let's go get her!"

"Not yet." Celest grabbed hold of Saeyoung's jacket. "We need a fucking plan."

"LANGUAGE."

-

This was nowhere near how you expected this to go. After Rikas outburst, you two decided it was best to continue this conversation on the couch.

"Rika, I know this must be hard but I'm not the person you're searching for." You were sitting a seat or two away from her just in case.

"I don't know what to do anymore... Everything I've done to get you here. It all feels like it was for nothing." You could tell how lost she was and that she needed a shoulder to lean on, someone to support her and guide her.

Where were her parents when all of this happened?

She let out a sad chuckle as she wiped away her tears with her hands. "I'm turning out more and more like Rika from the game aren't I?" You couldn't help but let out a chuckle too.

"If it's any consolation, I've played your route two or three times." Rika laughed a bit and boy was it contagious.

Never in a million years did you think you'd be sitting next to the woman you had initially believed to be the one who was ruining your life and yet, here you are, laughing about the game that started it all along with her.

"Maybe it's time to let go of what happened in the past and try to fine a better you. Have you ever thought about what could make you feel happy?" You asked gently as you scooted closer to her.

"My, happiness?" She questioned. She looked down at her lap as she tried to focus. You knew it wasn't something easy to process so you patiently waited for her to construct an answer. "How do I... Where do I even start?"

"Well..." You thought about if for a moment before responding. "I think you need to learn to love yourself first, flaws and vertu's included. Maybe talk to a professional about your concerns and worries and work out everything that's going on in here." You gently tapped her forehead to try and lighten the mood and thankfully, it did.

Rika let out a small chuckle and looked at you with kind eyes.

"I knew It was the right thing to search for you." She laid a gentle hand on your which was on your lap. "Thank you Y/n for showing me the light." She stood up and stretched her tense muscles. "Would you...like to watch a movie?" She asked sweetly, her attitude changes completely. You were actually kinda glad to see she was feeling better and nodded in agreement but you wouldn't let your guard down, not yet.

"I would like that."

"I'll get the popcorn! You can choose any movie from under the T.V and Netflix!" She quickly bounced up and skipped over to her kitchen. She was literally a child in an adults body. Unconsciously you had a smile playing on your lips as you walked over to the T.V. You started rummaging around all the DVD's and you noticed one that caught your eye.

"Avengers: Endgame..." You said in disbelief.

"I had a feeling you would go for that one." You could hear Rika from the kitchen.

"How did you even get your hands on this? It's not supposed to be out in theaters yet!"

"I have my ways." She wiggled her fingers in a playful manner trying to be scary which only made you laugh.

Saeyoung is so gonna hate me for this.

-

"Achoo!"

"Bless you?" Yoosung looked at Saeyoung confused since he was wearing a jacket and that it wasn't even that cold out.

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask what Rika looks like." Min piped in catching everyone's attention. Yoosung took out his phone and looked around for a picture. Once he found it he handed it over to her.

"WHAT?!" everyone was pretty confused by her reaction and waited for some kind of explanation. "I KNOW HER."

"What??? How???" It was Zen's turn to ask.

"She comes by the pastry shop a bunch of times and she's even gone to your rehearsals Zen."

"How did she get in?!" Min looked away and whistled. "You let her in???"

"She said she was a fan and she seemed really nice okay!"

"Guys, we're in a van, looking for a way to get into the building while contacting the police to accuse someone of kidnapping and possible intent of murder. Can we talk about that later?" Asked Celest as she typed away at her computer keyboard. "I've got the firewall down." She informed Saeyoung.

"Great, I'm gonna connect us to the security cameras."

"Are you sure you need an IU? Cause these two make up your whole team." Commented Jaehee seeing the two redheads at work.

"You're hired."

"But I never applied." Celest never looked away from her screen as she spoke, same goes for Saeyoung.

"What about me???"

"What do you mean 'What about me'? You already work with us!"

"Focus," Celest said as she took out a cookie from her pocket. "Alright, I've got the police on standby." She said with her mouth stuffed. "All I've gotta do is give the signal and they'll be in her apartment in no time."

"Looks like it's time we made our move." Jumin fixed his tux as the others also started getting ready to head out.

"if you need back up just tell me." Celest decided it would be best to stay behind, she did better behind the scenes than on the field. She would be in the van along with Min and Jaehee.

Saeyoung nodded and followed through with the plan. He went in the building, Yoosung, Zen, and Jumin right behind him.

"Hi there, how can I help you?" The desk lady asked seeing them try to make a Beeline for the elevator.

"Oh, we're here for..."

"The surprise! My sister Rika mentioned it." Yoosung swooped in to save the day.

"Oh! You're her younger brother! Go on ahead 5th floor to the right, third door." She instructed with a smile.

"Thanks!" The four boys got in the elevator and they could feel their hearts start to pound as the numbers increased on the small screen.

"How did you know what to tell the lady?" Yoosung just gave a shrug.

"I just guessed. I remember Rika always loved surprises." Once they reached the 5th floor, they made a right and walked towards the third door. "Here goes nothing," Saeyoung said to himself as he knocked on the door. He heard the sound of feet shuffling and they got closer and closer.

"One minute." They could recognize her voice instantly and they all tensed up. Rika opened the door and peeked outside and to their surprise, she didn't look as shocked as they expected.

She held up her index finger to her lips. "Shhh. She fell asleep a while ago. Come on in." She opened the door and the lights were low. The boys cautiously walked inside ready for anything.

But there you were asleep on the couch with a blanket on you.

"We finished the movie and she fell asleep right after. Do any of you want something to drink? Maybe to eat?" She offered sweetly.

"What the hell are you doing?" Saeyoung asked as he walked over to you to make sure you weren't drugged or something. Rika walked over to you with Yoosung, Zen and Jumin close by.

"She really is something Saeyoung. Don't let her go." She looked at you with kind and caring eyes. "We talked and...I'm ready to face the consequences." She held up her hands as if she were ready to be handcuffed. "Take me away."

The guys were completely and utterly bewildered. They never expected something like this.

Saeyoung slowly shook you awake. You groaned as you started to open your eyes, not wanting your nap to end. But you were the one that was shocked to see them all in the apartment. "What?" You breathed as you stand up with your boyfriend's help

"Are you okay?" Was the first thing he asked you.

"Yeah, but, what the hell are you guys doing here? How did you find me so quickly? I even freaking broke my phone." You straightened out your shirt and stood up.

"Celest had a tracker in your earing. What I want to know what you two are on such good terms." You looked over at Rika who, just as always, had a soft smile on her face.

"We talked it out," You gaze made its way back to his golden eyes. "It's over Saeyoung, she decided to...get help." You smiled at him as he looked over at Rika who nodded in agreement with you.

"So, you're gonna be okay now?" Yoosung spoke up as he walked over to his sister.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about everything Yoosung. I'm sorry everyone. I'll give you all a proper apology, later on, I think now would be a good time to start heading out." Saeyoung was just dumbfounded as the event unfolded.

Was it really over?

You reached out and took his hand to give him a reassuring smile while the tears collected in the corners of your eyes, the feeling of relief finally settling in. Saeyoung pulled you in for a hug and couldn't help but let a few stray tears fall.

"Let's get going." You mumbled into his jacket before letting him go. "Freedom's just around the corner."

"Oh! Y/n sweetie. I know I'm not going to be around for a while so before anything, I wanted to give you two this." She handed over an envelope leaving you confused. "Go ahead, open it up. This is the least I can do for causing you so much trouble." You opened it up and you were still confused as to what it-

"The deed to the apartment?!" Saeyoung shouted.

"Yup, I'm gonna be away for a long time and when I come back I want to start a new. So that's going to be for you two. Now, we should get going, it's getting late."

Let's just say, it was a long night. First Rika had to turn herself in and of course, there was a judge involved. You also had to meet the person that Rika hired to put the poison in V's drink and you were freaking out when you realized it was Vanderwood! Van-der-wood!!!

Well, it's actually 'Tony' in the real world but oh well. When that was done, the next day she was sent to a psychiatric hospital, the time she would be there wasn't specified since it depended on how well she would progress with the treatment so all you had to do was wait and hope for the best.

Time went on and you decided to continue your studies with Yoosung in the morning.

In the afternoon you would work with Jumin to keep saving up money. You weren't in a hurry to get your dream job so working with Jumin was nice for now.

Zen's acting career skyrocketed and was doing well, he even mentioned that he was starting to go out with Min, and you were all for it! Well, you were the one that wanted them to get together in the first place. You were happy to see Zen was finally getting his much-deserved happiness.

Anyway, Jaehee is happily working at one of her coffee companies. Yup, One of them. She started opening up more shops is getting pretty well known for her coffee brewing skills.

Finally, at night you would spend time with your Boyfriend- Oops! I mean Husband.

What? Did I forget to mention that you two got married?

Saeyoung just couldn't wait to pop the question.

As much as you wanted to have your wedding at a space station, you had make due with the outdoors theme. Your bridesmaids consisted of B/f/n, Jaehee, Min and of course Celest ;)

Saeyoung had Saeran, Jumin, Zen, and yoosung as his best men since he honestly couldn't decide.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful!

Oh! I'm sure you'd like to see how that went.

*Rewinds Tape*

"We are gathered here today to unite-"

Wait that's too far back, Let's speed things up a bit.

*Rewinds tape again*

"Do you Y/n L/n, take Saeyoung Choi as your lawfully wedded Husband?" The priest asked the question you've been waiting for your whole life. Of course apart from Saeyoung asking you to marry him.

"I do." You barely managed to say as you stared at your soon to be husbands' golden eyes.

"And do you, Saeyoung Choi take Y/n L/n, to be your-"

"I do! Oh, sorry. I got a little excited." You chuckled letting a few tears of joy fall. The priest smiled kindly towards Saeyoung and continued.

"And do you, Saeyoung Choi take Y/n L/n, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I sure do." He responded with a never fading smile.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Saeyoung grabbed you by your waist and lifted you up in the air and twirled you around like the princess you were and you couldn't help but laugh sweetly. Once your feet touched the ground he went for the long-awaited kiss as the crowd would applaud in the background.

This wonderful memory would replay in your mind again and again as you leaned on the railing of your new apartment balcony. You took a deep breath of the cold night air.

A part of you still couldn't believe that all of this happened because of a game, no one would ever expect something like this.

You watched the tranquil scenery as the stars shined brightly above you, but something quickly caught your attention. You looked down the from the fifth floor to see a certain someone skipping down the sidewalk.

Yellow.

You blinked a few times and even rubbed your eyes just to make sure they weren't playing games on you but even after that, she was still there.

She looked happy, walking and waving to old Friends with a bright smile on her face.

Could she already be out?

You sighed and simply shrugged your shoulders. You knew for certain that you didn't need to worry about her or anything else for that matter anymore.

"Hey Y/n." You heard Saeyoung call out to you.

"Yeah?" You answered turning to look at him.

"Wanna watch a movie with me?" His eyes were gentle and kind.

"Sure." You answered with a soft smile. You walked back to your apartment and sat next to Saeyoung to spend another calm and blissful night with your beloved husband.
