16 : Truth and Trust
That morning, Doyoung woke up alone on Yuna's bed at 10AM. He looked at the clock before running into the tech room, hair a mess. Winwin who was just watching the camera footage from the night before, which was supposed to be Doyoung's job, looked at him surprised.
"Oh you're awake. Don't worry, I'll watch the footage"
"What about the report?"
"Oh, don't worry about that either. Taeyong hyung handled it since you were asleep"
Doyoung went quiet, questioning how Taeyong would know since he wasn't sleeping in his own room. Right that second, the door beeped open, Taeyong entering as his eyes fell to Doyoung.
"Oh you're here"
"How did you know?"
"Lucas was looking for you and well, he found you. Also, don't be nervous. Only me and a few other members know"
Doyoung sprawled on the floor, finally feeling sleepy once again after the adrenaline rush.
"What's Yuna doing in front of the door?"
Winwin's question brought the attention of the other two in the room to the live camera that was filming the front of the door of the tech room. Yuna was standing there with Hutong at her feet.
"Hide the files quick"
Taeyong said as he and Doyoung rushed to pick up the scattered files on the table. The files were all about Moon Gang's case and connections, trying to find information about Seiko.
Winwin watched as Yuna crouched in front of the door, hands touching the padlock. The three inside the room heard multiple beeps when suddenly the door opened, Yuna falling backwards as the door opened.
Taeyong and Doyoung had just finished stashing the flies into a box in a corner of the room before pushing it under the couch. Yuna got up, peeking inside the room.
"How did you get the code?"
"Uhh..surprise? Some of the number pins had fingerprints so I just pressed them. I tried a few combinations then the door opened"
Yuna said as he walked to the main desk which held multiple monitor screens, Hutong jumping on the couch making itself comfortable.
"This is cool. Do you guys monitor the members on a mission from here?"
"Yeah. Also, almost every area in the HQ has a security camera so we did indeed see you outside. Where did you come from though? I didn't see the other camera angles"
"Uhh..I-I was just talking to Ten. Needed to get Hutong, yeah"
Doyoung's face scrunched as Yuna awkwardly pointed to Hutong, feeling as if there was something she was hiding from him. He looked at Taeyong who had the same doubting eyes as him.
Yuna's eyes traveled to a computer that showed an article from 9 years ago. Yuna was about to walk closer to it to read what was on it when the electricity in the room was suddenly cut off.
"What the hell just happened?"
Yuna asked looking at Winwin, shocked at the sudden dimness inside the room. Winwin looked at Doyoung questioningly to which Doyoung just shook his head.
"I think Haechan's just playing tricks with us again"
"Haechan is in the 00 line room, playing PUBG with the others plus Jisung and Chenle"
"I guess, Johnny then"
"Johnny went out with Jaehyun and Taeil"
"What about Yu--"
"He's training with Mark. Hendery, Xiaojun and Jungwoo are playing real life mario kart, as they say it, outside. Kun is teaching Haerin. Lucas' still not back"
The three look at each other, swallowing nervously. Yuna looked at them suspiciously. "Well, it must be Ten then. He's quite playful too, you know"
"Yuna! Come on, you said we were going out"
Ten's voice was heard from outside, him supposedly now standing in front of her room.
"Uh huh.. So I guess I'll just go"
Yuna said, walking out of the room. All three of them breathed out when Yuna closed the door, Doyoung finally flicking the electricity on again by hitting the hidden scanner by the couch.
"Thank god she couldn't read the article"
"Wouldn't it be better if you two just ask or test her? Both are you are good enough to know when she's lying"
"Yeah, we'd know she's lying but we wouldn't know the truth. She would be lying to hide a truth and we need that truth"
Winwin shrugged, switching the monitors back on. "I may not know her longer than you two but I can tell she has no bad intentions with us. Rather than sneaking it around her, how about you two just work with her?"
"No, Winwin. You don't get it"
"Okay, okay. But if you guys turn out wrong, don't go regretting it. I'm gonna go to the training room now. See you later"
Winwin typed in the code before exiting the room, leaving Doyoung and Taeyong who were quiet. Both of them know it was kind of wrong to hide this from some of the members and Yuna but she wouldn't hide an important piece of information if it wasn't needed.
"Is it just me or has Yuna been hanging out with Ten more these days?"
"Are you asking because you're jealous or because you're scared that he's gonna take Yuna away?"
"I have no idea"
Taeyomg placed his hand on Doyoung's shoulder. "I don't think Ten has such intentions so relax. I'm sure they just needed to get something"

"You sure this is a good idea?"
"I never said this was a good idea. I could've sworn the man yesterday had a moon tattoo on his nape"
The two were at the alley Doyoung had shot the man to death yesterday. The two wore black masks, linking arms to avoid looking suspicious.
As they approached closer, they pinched their noses, unlinking their arms as the smell of blood and body decaying infiltrated their senses. They arrived in front of the body, the smell strong as ever.
Yuna took a step closer, using a stick nearby to flip the man onto his stomach, revealing the moon tattoo on his nape. Ten's eyes widened, crouching down to confirm the tattoo.
He turned to look at Yuna before nodding, showing that he believed her this time. They walked back out, going through blind spots to avoid the cameras.
Once they reached the streets, they took a deep breath, feeling relieved at the air that was a bit better than back there.
"Spray some of this cologne so that the smell doesn't stick much"
Ten said as he pulled out his cologne, handing it to Yuna. Yuna took it gratefully and sprayed it on her.
"We should stop by somewhere and make it look like we didn't just check on a dead body"
Yuna said as they started walking. Ten then pointed to a cafe across from them, Yuna nodding in agreement.
The two entered, taking a seat in one of the booths as the waiter came and asked for their order. As they were waiting for their orders, they discussed on what this incident could possibly mean.
"Once is a coincidence, twice is proof and thrice is facts. There is something going on, Yuna"
"This is just too weird. Don't you think the gang attack at the school was too much of a set up?"
"I know, it was like they were trying to prove or show something. Minjung isn't involved in any sort of gang activity besides her witnessing that night but DE don't know that. She was hiding"
The two were in deep thought, trying to find the missing puzzle piece.
"Do Taeyong or Doyoung know that DE is under Moon?"
"I don't think so. Could it be that DE is the new name for Moon? Moon did have a Japanese heiress"
"What?"
"Seiko. Seiko Osaki. I know it doesn't makes sense but that's literally the only thing that I know that could possibly be it. It's just I don't know where or what happened to her"
The two stop talking as the waiter walked to their table, placing down their orders as the two flashed a flashed a smile, thanking the waiter. "We'll talk about this later"
Yuna just nodded as she began eating the cheese cake, Ten drinking his iced americano before eating the macarons he ordered. The two were busy eating and talking to each other, not noticing Johnny and Jaehyun who had just walked into the cafe.
Johnny was ordering while Jaehyun was looking around, his eyes stopping at a boy and a girl at one of the booths, assuming they were a cute couple until he recognized them. He pulled on Johnny's sleeve, pointing to Ten and Yuna's direction.
Johnny's jaw dropped slightly, nudging Jaehyun to take a photo to tease Yuna later. Jaehyun pulled out his phone, zooming in slightly before taking a photo of Ten feeding Yuna a macaron. Showing Johnny the result, the two laughed and got their orders before walking out.
Meanwhile, Yuna and Ten had finished eating after Ten shoved the last macaron into Yuna's mouth. They got up, paying at the counter before exiting the cafe. They were walking down the street until Yuna stopped in front of the jewellery store, entering it.
Ten just went inside as he followed Yuna to the silver necklaces. Yuna was looking at them with her eyebrows furrowed, very serious which Ten found funny. "I'll just wait outside"
Glaring at the boy, she then continued her search when her eyes stopped on a simple necklace with an empty cube hanging off.
'Perfect'
Yuna thought as she called the worker and asked for the necklace, the worker taking it to the counter. She paid for it and stopped the worker from packing it up, saying she's gonna wear it right away.
"Have a nice day, miss"
"You too"
Yuna walked out, clipping the necklace on before tapping on Ten's shoulder. "What'd you get?"
Yuna pointed to the necklace as Ten just nodded. The two started walking back to HQ. It was silent for a few seconds until Ten decided to ask a question.
"You don't usually wear this stuff. Why so suddenly?"
Ten asked as they turned into a corner before walking into a covered path, it being a short cut back to HQ. Yuna looked to the sky, having a bad feeling for the near future.
"You never know. One day, I could probably go missing"
