Jongho had no intention of letting the two strangers in front of him leave without some kind of answer. He had a feeling the were there to attempt to collect a debt, which would be completely made up because he had paid off the warehouse a long time ago.

With his income and Yeosang's hacking ability they didn't have to worry about money. But this wouldn't be the first time some random person showed up wanting to talk to him about something important.

And he wasn't afraid to kick their ass if he needed to.

"Well?" He asked.

The pair looked at each other. It was obvious that they were nervous, which was why he had signaled to Yeosang early to keep an eye on the cameras. They had a who system set up with secret signs so that Yeosang was aware of what was going on. No one knew that someone was always watching, they didn't even know that Jongho was in a relationship. And he planned to keep it that way.

Lights above him flicked twice. Yeosang was telling him to stay cautious.

The redhead rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "I guess there's no better way to start so I'm just going to jump right into it. I know who you are, Jongho."

A red flag instantly went up in Jongho's mind and he froze. He never gave out his name...

"I know who you are, and you used to know who we are. My name is Mingi, and this is Yunho. We used to be on a team with five other people."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jongho asked. "I don't know either of you and I have never met you before."

"Not in this life." Mingi added softly.

Before Jongho could say anything, Yunho held up his hands. "I know it sounds crazy. I just met Mingi earlier today and he's told me everything. It's still crazy, but... he knows things about me that I've never shared with anyone. If you take the time to listen, I promise it will make sense. Kind of."

Mingi shot Yunho a look of disbelief and Yunho shrank into his shoulders a little.

"Leave." Jongho said. He didn't have time for this.

"Please, we need you." Mingi stepped forward. "You're a fighter, right? Did you grow up getting bullied in school?"

Jongho scoffed and shook his head. "Who didn't? Everyone is looking out for themselves and trying to show that they are bigger and badder. I'm serious. I want you to le—"

"To the point where you killed your bully with a brink?"

Jongho paused at Mingi's words. Yeosang was the only person he had ever told about that. Not even his parents knew before they died. They just assumed that his bully had moved on to a different kid and left Jongho alone.

"See?" Mingi said hesitantly. "Please, Jongho, if you'd just listen to me, I can explain everything."

The desperation in Mingi's voice had Jongho grinding his teeth. This could be a trap and he could be walking into something dangerous. And yet... for Mingi to know something so personal about his past...

His eyes flicked to Yunho. "What did he have on you?"

"He knew that my sister heard voices. She was sick for a long time." Yunho answered quietly. Jongho knew enough about reading people to see that there was no trace of a lie in Yunho's eyes. "He also knew that she died, although the cause of death is a little different this time."

Jongho cocked an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" He started tapping his shoulder, telling Yeosang to stay hidden just in case they came upstairs.

"This..." Mingi sighed. "this life isn't want it used to be. In our other life, we faced a powerful enemy who managed to create a time machine. I'm the only one who remembers what happened because I was touching the machine, but things used to be different."

"You've got to be kidding me."

Yunho and Mingi exchanged another look. "If you'll just give us time, we think we can fix what is going on with the city. The leader of the Wolf Pack is who ruined everything and we are determined to take him down."

Now Jongho started to laugh. He doubled over and gripped his stomach. "You w-want the three of us t-to take down the Pack?! What are you g-guys on?"

"There are five others in our team." Mingi sounded hurt by the fact that Jongho was laughing at him, but the fighter didn't really care at this point. "All eight of us make a team with our own skills that could take him down."

"And who makes up this magic team?"

"The three of us, Seonghwa, Hongjoong, San, Wooyoung, and Yeosang."

Jongho straightened up and silenced himself. "What did you just say?" His voice was dark, matching the deadly rage that was bubbling up inside him.

"The members our team, Seo—"

"The last name. What was the last name." Jongho snapped, raising his voice as he spoke. His entire body was trembling and he wanted nothing more than to tackle Mingi to the ground and beat him. "TELL ME!"

"Yeosang. Kang Yeosang." Mingi said quickly. His eyes grew wide in shock and he turned to Yunho. "He was our hacker, great with computers and extremely smart."

There was no way, NO WAY, that Mingi knew about Yeosang. How was this even possible?

The corners of his vision started to turn red and the next thing he knew, Jongho was lunging for Mingi.

Yeosang watched the cameras with unblinking eyes. He tried to get his nervous energy out by pushing the sucker in his mouth back and forth quickly, but it was doing very little to distract him.

He watched all of Jongho's signals and new that the younger was on guard. 

The fact that they didn't have any audio was making Yeosang go crazy, but the audio system had broken several weeks ago and getting any kind of repair man was near impossible.

The two men looked like they were trying to explain something to Jongho and it didn't look like it was going well.

But then everything changed.

He saw the exact moment Jongho heard something he didn't like. Jongho became so tense that Yeosang was pretty sure the veins on his neck would be popping out right now.

An uneasy feeling started to form in the pit of his stomach. Yeosang didn't like this at all. Normally Jongho handled these things very well, but there was something about these two visitors that was throwing him off guard.

The second Jongho started shouting at them, Yeosang pushed away from his desk and started running for their 'front door'. He didn't care if Jongho had told him to stay hidden, he was tired of seeing his love get hurt.

When he yanked the door open at the top of the stairs, Jongho was flying through the air to tackle one of the men to the ground. The other one stumbled back for a second, then started pulling at the back of Jongho's shirt.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW? TELL ME!" Jongho yelled as he slammed his fist into the redhead's face.

"Jongho! NO!" Yeosang yelled. He ran down the stairs, jumping one he was halfway down the last flight, and stumbled forward.

"HOW DARE YOU!!" Jongho raised his fist once more, but Yeosang wrapped his arms around Jongho's chest. The force of his impact knocked them both off balance and sent them sprawling to the floor.

"Please, stop." He begged, scrambling to make his way over to Jongho. He managed to get there just in time. Jongho sat up and was about to push himself to his feet, but Yeosang scrambled into his lap and wrapped his arms around Jongho's neck. "Please..."

The younger immediately hugged him back, his strong arms enveloping Yeosang in the embrace that he loved so much. Yeosang turned his nose and pressed into Jongho's neck. If he needed to throw himself into the fight to protect Jongho, then we would, he wasn't afraid to do that.

An awful silence fell over the four of them, broken only by a small whimper of pain from the stranger. But then he also gasped. "Yeosang?"

Jongho tightened his grip on Yeosang when he felt the hacker tense. Then he slowly forced himself to turn around to stare at the strangers.

"Y... You're t-t-together?" Suddenly the stranger had tears running down his face, mixing with the blood and leaving streaks everywhere. He doubled over and clutched his stomach while awful sobs shook his body.

His friend knelt next to him and placed a hand on his back. "Mingi? Are you ok?"

"What is going on?" Yeosang asked, looking at Jongho.

"This nut job is claiming that he knows us from another life. That the leader of the Pack created a time machine that sent the world back in time, and that we are part of a team that he wants to get back together to try and take the Pack down with." Jongho said while glaring at the visitors.

"That's ridiculous." Yeosang moved to get off Jongho's lap and helped him stand before turning. "I've never seen either of you before."

"Oh boy." The one with brown hair said. "Mingi..."

The redhead tried to control his sobbing and sat back on his knees. "Please. It's t-true. Yeosang, your mom was a teacher, right?"

Yeosang froze. How did he know that?

"Did she get sick and pass?"

"You better stop talking." Jongho growled, moving to advance on Mingi again.

Yeosang placed a hand on his chest to stop him though, still staring at the strangers. His heart was pounding in his ears.

"And you're a hacker." Mingi said. It wasn't a question.

"How..." Yeosang choked on his words and shook his head. "How do you know this?"

"It's just as I've been trying to tell Jongho. I know it sounds crazy, but I do know who you are, and you used to know me. We used to be a team." Mingi's eyes, while swollen from Jongho's punches, were begging Yeosang to believe him. "I need you to just give me the time to show you."

Jongho pulled him away, shaking his head. "Get out!"

"Jongho." The older turned to him. "Please, I... I think we should listen to him." He help up a hand when Jongho started to protest. "I can hook him up to my system. If he's lying then we will take care of it. But he never tried to fight back, he let you do that to him. That tells me he is willing to do what it takes for us to listen."

"You know how crazy this all is, right?" Jongho's fists were shaking at his side. "How does he know this about us?!"

"Maybe he's telling the truth and we did know him." Yeosang's forehead furrowed. This was all... puzzling. He glanced back at where Mingi was now leaning into his friend. "Come on. Let's go upstairs. I want to hear your story, but I'm going to put you through my own personal lie detector. If it determines that you are lying to me, I won't hold Jongho back next time."

"Fair enough." Mingi gave a small smile.

The four of them made their way upstairs and Yeosang gave the other stranger, who introduced himself as Yunho, a first aid kit to patch up Mingi's wounds for now. While that happened, he pulled out a few wires and electrodes and attached one to each of Mingi's wrists, his temples, his neck, and two over his heart. "This is going to monitor your heart rate. It's the most reliable way to tell if you are lying to me or not because your heart never lies." He said quietly.

Mingi just nodded and showed no signs of resisting. If he was really wanting to harm them then he would have tried by now.

Jongho stood in the corner so he could see the entire room. It was close to the door too, which Yeosang knew was so he could stop them from leaving if needed.

But neither of their visitors fought them. Yunho accepted a chair next to Mingi and kept tending to the cuts and bruises on his face.

Yeosang sat across from Mingi and pulled up the program he had created on his computer to monitor Mingi's answers. "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Mingi said, not breaking eye contact.

"Alright. Tell me everything."
