Luhan, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo, Kai, and Sehun were making their way to the sixth floor to fetch their Xiumin. The housemates planned to visit Lay during lunch break and the significant others just tagged along. But when they exited the elevator, they were welcomed by an unusual sight as Hana was not at her desk. But they shrugged it off, thinking she was performing a task somewhere. But to add to the peculiarity of the whole situation, the office of the Department of Security and Defense was filled with all the employees on that particular floor.

"Why is everyone here?" Chanyeol asked. "And what happened to Hana-ssi?"

"Sorry for the commotion, Your Excellences, but Hana-ssi is just in shock due to the whole situation," Namjoon explained as Hana was shakily holding the glass of water.

"Situation? What situation?" Baekhyun was confused.

"It just happened just several minutes ago but..." Jin hesitated. "...Minseok-hyung was pushed down the stairs by Tamyok, the intern."

"WHAT?" Luhan, Baekhyun, and Kai chorused.

"But it's okay, Your Excellences. An ambulance is currently taking Minseok-hyung to the nearest hospital with His Excellence Kim Jongdae with him," Yoongi said to calm the three legends down.

"And why weren't we informed of this?" Luhan sounded urgent.

"Well, everything happened so fast, Your Excellences," Mark explained. "By the way, is it true, Your Excellences, that Kim Minseok-ssi is our legend of frost?"

"Have you checked the symbols on their offices?" Kyungsoo asked.

"Yes, Your Excellence. The symbol of the legend of lightning is now yellow while the symbol for the legend of frost is now blue," Renjun stated. "Also, His Excellence said it himself while confronting Tamyok why she pushed him down the stairs."

"In that case, we will confirm. Xiumin-hyung or Minseok-hyung is the legend of frost," Sehun revealed.

"I see. I hope His Excellence will be fine," Donghyuck whispered.

"I know it's not the right situation, but can you please stop addressing us as "His Excellence"? Just the usual '-ssi' honorifics will do for all of us," Kai informed all the employees.

"As you wish, Your Ex— I mean, Jongin-ssi," Hoseok replied while the others nodded.

"We'll have to go. We still need to visit both Lay-hyung and Xiumin-hyung. Please take care of Hana-ssi," Baekhyun mentioned and the six legends were off to the seventh floor.

When the six legends entered the Office of Diplomatic and Foreign Affairs, the whole Ex'Act Congress was there together with Shotaro and Sungchan.

"Your Excellence? Why are you all here?" Jisung stood up and greeted the legends while forcing back a yawn.

Kyungsoo looked around. Jihoon was cuddled on Woojin. Daehwi was sitting on Jinyoung's lap. Seongwu was leaning on Daniel's shoulder. Jaehwan was sharing warm coffee with Minhyun. Kuanlin was flirting with someone over a video call. Shotaro and Sungchan were sharing earphones. Sungwoon was the only one slumped over his desk, trying to nap. Kyungsoo couldn't help but smile.

"Don't mind us. We're just going to the Kris-hyung's office," Kyungsoo dismissed everyone.

Why were they going to Kris when Tao was the person they want? Ada, the receptionist, mentioned that Kris called for Tao earlier so they knew Tao would be in Kris' office. Seeing that it was Kris' office, they did not bother to knock anymore.
