Hidden Secrets Revealed (1)

Naeun woke up with a jerk from the loud noises coming from downstairs. After she had gone to her room from yesterday she hadn't come out but checking the time it was 1:00 p.m. Looking out the window the scene was not what she expected.

Guards were gathering outside holding rifles and machine guns and it looked like they were preparing for a war. Naeun quickly changed and went down to see Taehyun talking to Minjoon, Jinhyun, and Jaemin. He turned around as soon as he noticed Naeun's presence and beckoned to her.

Naeun had to act mad remembering yesterday's events but sensing something serious she went and stood in front of all of them.

"What's going on?" She asked, when nobody was ready to speak.

"You see..." Jaemin started but Minjoon was too straightforward and told it without hesitation.

"We're under attack from a rival gang."

Great! At least I'll be able to stretch my muscles.

"Yah! She is just a girl. How could you just tell her like that?!" Jinhyun scolded Minjoon while he just shrugged.

"Can I help?" Naeun asked, making them face her.

"No, you are going straight to Level 7," Taehyun said while the others stared at him wide-eyed except for Naeun who was clueless.

"You are sending her THERE?!" Minjoon and Jaemin said together and Taehyun nodded in reply.

"She will be safe."

"No, I want to help-"

"Naeun no! You can't even kill someone, you can't fight!" Taehyun said angrily while Naeun started getting angry too.

"I can! You don't know anything about me!"

"Then what can you do-"

"I have powers!"

Damn it, why did I say that?

Naeun breathed heavily after revealing one of her biggest secrets that nobody, even KIA didn't know. Though the KIA authorities and heads did. The boys looked at her as she just sprouted horns out of her head.

"Naeun, you are very clever to lighten the situation by a joke but this is serious-" but Jinhyun was once again interrupted by Naeun.

"I am NOT joking! I can show it to you too. I can read minds and control people but that in rare situations. But I can read others' minds. I can show you but you have to trust me."

Sounds pretty fake, should've made it more reliable. They'll think I'm lying.

Taehyun hadn't moved his eyes from her and now glancing at his watch he said, "We don't have much time but if you can read Jaemin's mind then I will agree with you."

Naeun nodded and faced Jaemin who started gulping and sweating while Minjoon and Jinhyun were enjoying the show.

"I trust you."

Naeun glanced at Taehyun and smiled, returning his.

Then staring straight into Jaemin's eyes she concentrated all her mind and accessed his mind easily. Then chuckling, faced the rest of the group.

"This guy here is thinking that after defeating the gang he will sneak into Minjoon's room to steal his laptop for fun. And after that, he will blame Jinhyun for hiding the laptop in his bathroom. Am I right?" She asked Jaemin who looked like he was about to faint.

"Is that true?" Minjoon and Jinhyun asked together, raising their eyebrows while Jaemin chuckled weakly, nodding.

"Wow..." The trio said together slowly and Taehyun just stared at Naeun with an unreadable expression.

'Well from now on nobody looks into her eyes and be careful with what you think. She may already know half of all our secrets by now." Jinhyun said slowly while Naeun chuckled smirking.

One of the reasons I shouldn't have told them this. How will I find information now?

"Don't worry I am not like that. I don't take advantage of the person ever. You don't have to be scared. So will you let me fight with you?"

"We were never going to go to fight. The guards will handle that and my men. But we need some information from our rival. Maybe you can help us with that." Taehyun said and Naeun nodded.

They all sat down on the couch. Sounds of firing, shooting, and shrieking were easily reaching her ears. At one point, Naeun felt that somebody had been knocked down by a hammer. After some time the front door opened revealing two bodyguards dragging in an injured man. Naeun noticed Taehyun's expression darken after seeing him. He got up and slowly walked towards the guy and kicked him in the stomach making him spit out blood. He then looked towards Naeun and his eyes softened as he motioned her to him. Naeun got up slowly and walked towards him.

"Go on. Look into his eyes and tell me what he had planned after this. Take your time. It's ok if you can't." He assured softly and held her hand tenderly making Naeun feel calmer unexpectedly. She bent down and looked into the man's eyes and it wasn't hard for her to focus, as he was easy to read.

"He was planning to kidnap me," She said after straightening up and looking at Taehyun. "He thought that you all weren't at home and he somehow found out about me so his guards were instructed to distract your men and take me. He would then threaten you with me, in exchange for your empire."

Taehyun's reaction was a murderous one.

"Take him to Level 7. I will come soon and deal with him there." Taehyun said with a serious voice and he turned to face the other three guys.

"I want you too to go and deal with this guy's empire and I will go and deal with that guy. Jaemin you go and show Level 7 to Naeun. But make sure to stay away from the other side okay?"

Jaemin nodded and the others got up to leave. Taehyun turned to face the confused Naeun.

"Naeun listen to me. I have some work to deal with and I will be busy. Jaemin will make you tour Level 7 which is my underground, secret base. Be safe okay and listen to him. I will meet you later."

Why are you shaking my heart so roughly?

Then after giving a reassuring smile he left with Minjoon and Jinhyun. His behavior was starting to make it hard for Naeun to focus on her mission. But brushing off these thoughts Naeun turned to face Jaemin and they went to a secret elevator which Naeun hadn't spotted in the house until now. The elevator took them underground. What Naeun's eyes experienced next startled her to the core.
