Jisung:
Mom. Can you meet us?

Mom:
Jisung? Where and when?

Jisung:
I'll send you the
location. Come alone.
We'll be checking.

Mom:
OK.

The trap was set. I sent her the address to our old abandoned building. Of course I knew she wouldn't come alone but we were prepared for that. She underestimated how prepared eight almost adult teenagers could be when their lives depended on it.

"Right so Chris we want you to hide behind the pillar here." I marked it on the crudely drawn map of the building. This was all going down on the roof. It was the only way we could ensure we would get away if we needed to. The old heavy metal door locked from the inside and we would be able to position ourselves for escape if we needed it.

"Changbin and Seungmin. We need you in the bottom floor. If anyone other than our Mom and Mr Lee turns up, call up. We'll be able to hear you."

"Especially with the way Changbin screams like a girl." Lix joked. Everyone chuckled and Changbin began protesting angrily.

"Yah! Focus." I whined as I tapped my pen against the paper aggressively. "Jeongin, you'll be on the roof with us, but stay by the door we need your eyes on the stairs to make sure no one is coming up." I explained. I began going over everyone's roles again and they all groaned around me.

"OK Jisung! We know. What time are we going?" Felix asked as he rested his head lightly on his knee.

"Five minutes." I stated casually. A low level buzz of activity started as everyone began grabbing bags and coats and we all prepared. My heart was in my throat and I was nervous.

One misstep could cost us dearly in this situation.

"It's gonna be ok." Lix leaned down behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, reassuringly. It was as though he had read my mind. Then he sunk his teeth into my arm and I yelped.

"Yah! What was that for?! Do I look like Jin to you?!" I rubbed the sore area as he laughed and rushed away to get his shoes on. It was nice to hear laughter and chatter from everyone around me. We hadn't had much time to prepare, but I didn't want to over think this either.

There were so many variables and it was like we were preparing to enter a battle we knew we weren't prepared for.

The car ride to the building felt longer than it ever had. Every single second that passed felt more and more urgent.

We had to be as prepared as we could be.

I watched the familiar buildings rush past the windows and took a deep breath. I already knew what I wanted to say, and how I wanted to say it. The others were all deep in their own thoughts and Lix wasn't even resting his hand on Hyunjin's thigh as he usually did.

Everything felt odd.

"We're here." Hyunjin's voice was low and soothing. It was just like him. Trying to keep us all calm.
