Chapter 11
(Y/N's POV)
Everyone sat around the table. Seungmin was pulling down a screen to show a presentation he had made on how we were getting Chris out of the warehouse my mom was keeping him in.
Seungmin gave me a look, and I nodded. "Alright everyone, attention on the screen please. Seungmin has a diagram up there of the layout of the warehouse. As we know, there are twenty one guards, and there will only be six of you going. Ji is staying back with me so we can defend our home, and you guys will be rescuing Chan. Minho, take it away."
*some time later*
As everyone left the meeting room, I stayed behind at the table, head in my hands. It made me worry, the looks of reckless determination on their faces. God I sound like a mom right now. I didn't want my little family to break anymore than it already had, and they were all putting themselves at risk. I was unsure of how long I had been sitting there, but eventually Felix came back in to sit next to me.
"You aren't useless, you know."
I looked at him, shocked. "What do you mean?"
He sighed and put his arm around my shoulder. "I heard you, you know. When I was under and my eyes wouldn't open, I could hear you still. Don't ever talk about yourself like that. Just because you fought to survive instead of fighting physically doesn't mean you can't fight. Although you aren't wrong about needing a miracle from God in order to figure out Minnie's computer system, that thing is a nightmare. Point is, you aren't a burden to us. We all see you as family, and all of us, well up until me at this point, are too stubborn to admit it and fully open ourselves up."
He stood up and ruffled my hair. "Try and get some rest noona, okay? And if anyone asks, this conversation didn't happen, I have a reputation to maintain." I giggled as I stood up and followed him out, "Yeah alright Mr. Tough Guy."
When I got to my room, I saw that Jisung had made up a makeshift pallet for himself on the floor, with a bat in his hands. He was fast asleep, so I made sure to be quiet as I went and pulled the blanket over his shivering shoulders. I had been avoiding sleep the last couple of nights, I almost forgot I had a broken window. I curled up under the covers as Benji laid next to my head on my pillows. As I closed my eyes, images from the past few days flashed through my mind.
Felix in the hospital bed, unmoving.
Seungmin actually being serious when hacking through the kidnapper's firewalls.
Broken, sullen, skinny Jisung, who was now asleep on my floor in an effort to be a line of defense between me and whatever may get a wild idea to come in from my balcony, in spite of everything.
Angry and tired Jeongin.
Chan.
Their expressions when we knew he was taken.
As I lay there, the tears began to flow. Eventually, the sound of the roaring waves lulled me to sleep.
I woke up the next morning to Benji patiently sitting at the foot of the bed. The sun beamed through the windows, bright as day, but I couldn't help the anxiety that was coursing through my veins. Today was the day. The house was quiet as I stepped out of my room, except for Jisung, who was curled up on the couch with a book. I walked behind him on his way to the kitchen and ruffled his hair. "Wow Sungie, I didn't know you could read." I shrugged and kept walking towards the kitchen as I heard a pillow hit the ground behind me.
"Excuse you?! I am an EXCELLENT reader, thank you." He scoffed. I heard the sound of both he and Benji following me into the kitchen. "What's on today's breakfast menu, noona?" I smiled as I grabbed what I needed out of the fridge. "Bacon and eggs!"
*Time Skip*
We had decided to restart Grey's Anatomy, since I never got to see very much of it thanks to my unfortunate childhood. I guess Meredith and I had that in common. We didn't have dads at a very young age and our mothers took it out on us. Ellis was obsessed with turning Mer into McPerfect, and mine was obsessed with turning me into McSlave.
Out of nowhere, Jisung gasped as Derek walked up to the Chief. "ISN'T THAT THE GUY-"
"OMG YES Sungie now shushhhh okay?" I laughed. He stuck his tounge out at me as he took another bite of his breakfast. Us being able to hang out like this really helped me to relax, but I knew that both of us were incredibly worried about how they were doing. Neither of us liked the odds, but we had to protect our home too.
*Third Person POV*
Seungmin sat on the highest point of the roof he could manage without getting himself seen, furiously typing away at his tablet. To his side he had a sniper rifle aimed toward the enemy emergency vehicle. This was going to be the biggest fight of their lives, and they all knew it.
"Alright boys, roll call."
"North entrance in sight." Hyunjin.
"South entrance in sight." Minho.
"Eastern entrance in sight." Felix.
"Western entrance in sight." Jeongin.
"Roof exit and our tech whiz in sight; Seungmin how far are we from security falling?" Changbin called out.
Seungmin let out a sigh. "Get ready guys. Security down in 5...
4...
3...
2...
LET'S GET HIM BACK BOYS! MISSION: RESCUE LEADER IS A GO!"
Changbin put an ear to the door and heard yelling, guns going off and focused, heavy breaths over the earpieces, signaling that everyone got in okay. He went back around the corner from the door, Seungmin in his peripherals but his focus on the door.
Jeongin and Felix met up outside of the room where the guy who was supposed to be watching the cameras was. However, when they got there, he was asleep. Jeongin took off his bandana and tied it tightly around his mouth as a gag as Felix stabbed his knee. His eyes shot open, but no one could hear his muffled yells. As soon as the man passed out, they took his security baton and broke the camera screens. Was it necessary? Probably not, but they needed whatever advantage they could get in the unlikely event that Seungmin wasn't able to keep their security system down.
As they quietly snuck back out of the camera room, they heard Hyunjin cursing loudly in a nearby corridor. God, I hope Chris can't hear him, Felix thought to himself. Jeongin immediately rushed to Hyunjin's side as Felix roundhouse kicked a guard that was running up before shooting him in the head. Hyunjin looked at him in pure shock.
"What?" The Aussie asked, an air of dark humor lingering. "All the movies say you have to shoot them in the head, otherwise they come back."
In that moment, there was crackling over the earpiece. "Alright boys, there's 4 down, 16 left." Seungmin informed them.
"How many near northeast, northwest Min?" Felix asked as he, Hyunjin and Jeongin began quickly and quietly creeping towards the far left corner of the room. "Two about to round the corner, they heard the fight. Minho be careful, you have two coming your way."
Felix let out a sigh. "I'm on my way, Minho-hyung. Hyun, Innie, I'll be right back." Felix sprinted towards the south end of the building, hoping he could get to Minho before the two other guards got to him. He heard gunshots from behind him and stayed focused, but when they came from in front, he sped up.
Minho was blowing off the smoke from his pistols as Felix entered the room. "I got both of them in the head. What, like it's hard?"
Felix laughed, exasperated, as he went over to his older brother. "I absolutely cannot believe you are quoting Elle Woods to me right now. Let's go."
"Guys watch out! Felix and Minho, one is headed your way from the front. Hyunjin and Jeongin, yours is approaching from behind. Be careful." Seungmin warned them.
A chorus of confirmations crowded the ear tech for a second.
Felix and Minho waited in the corners of the room as the unknown voice they heard got closer.
"Have they found the girl yet?" The deep voice asked as he came closer to the door. A shiver ran down Felix's spine. There could only be one girl in this situation.
Y/N.
"Good, good. Let me know when it's done."
As soon as he rounded the corner, Minho's pistols were against the back of the man's head. He let out a shaky breath. "Go ahead and do it. You'll get your leader back, but at what cost?"
Everyone heard the bullets blast through his head, two from the back and one from the front.
Felix touched a shaky hand to his earpiece as he and Minho advanced to where Hyunjin and Jeongin were.
"Seungmin, we have a major issue here."
Anxiously, Seungmin's voice replied. "What do you mean?"
"We counted 6 and 14 today, right?"
"Yes Lix, why?"
"The one we just took out was on the phone on his way down the hall, he said they were after 'the girl'. And if there were 21 men here the other day, then this means-"
"It means they're after Y/N. Changbin call Jisung, and do not stop at all until he answers. They needed to be ready 30 minutes ago. In the meantime, boys, now we make our final push. I'll be fine from here, Changbin will be coming down as soon as he's done on the phone with Jisung. We have 20 minutes left until their systems start fighting back, so lets fucking go. NOW!"
